TOYS FOR TOTS
An open letter to all personnel on
Adak:
The big Marine Drive is on. Yes,
the U.S, Marines kicked off another
"Toys for Tots"campaign on October 20.
It’s an annual event, held every
year about this time. It's that time
: of year~ Jwhen the Marines lay aside .
their rifles and field packs and pick
up a paint brush or needle and thread
to repair some discarded toy or doll.
Many of them spend long hours of their
own time working to make the drive a
success. But they can't do it with*
out your help. It is only through tld^
generosity of you, the populace or
Adak, that this year's "Toys for Tots"
Drive can be a roaring success. The
response to last years drive was over**
welming. Our Adak Marines and every
one else who helped make the drive a
success were well rewarded for their
efforts by the smiling happy faces of
needy children on Christmas morning.
The toys collected and repaired here
on Adak are for the children of the
Alieuts, the last remaining descend
ants of the original Eskimo tribes.
There are only about 25 families now,
living in semi-poverty much in the
same way as their ancesters did on tfa|
Island of Atka. ™
11 you happen to come upon an unusea
toy or perhaps a ragged doll hidden in
- a dusty corner, why not bring it on
’“down to’ pne of the "Toys for Tots"
barrels and drop it in. For your con
venience, they are located in the Navy
Exchange and the Commissary Store.
Pickups will be made at 1300 and 1730.
Pickups at quarters can be arranged
by calling Ext. 345 after hours or 342
during normal working hours. Remember
all contributions must be received by
December 1st in order for the Marines
to get them in good shape and deliver
ed by Christmas.
