Westminster .Helps Santa With Toys Despite the poor turnout of Westminster for the Toys for Tots Drive, a very excellent variety of toys was collected last Monday. These toys, as everyone knows, go to the many needy children, in the 'state who arent expecting a visit from Santa Claus this year. The toys will be taken out to the State Prison where the inmates will fix any that are broken. Many of the toys given have rarely been used and we are deeply indebted to those who so unselfishly gave these wonderful gifts. This unselfishness will be felt by many downhearted children this Chirstmas. We thank the I.K.s and their committee headed by Ted Peters and Don Coleman for doing an excellent job of preparing for the drive. Again thanks to those few who made thi3 a successful drive. .
