<br />
<br />Mayor Large called on Mrs. HenryR. Burch to address the council. Mrs.
<br />Burch said she was speaking in behalf of the Eugene Council of Church Women regard in
<br />a toy loan library in which toys could be borrowed from this collection by children
<br />of ages from t~o to sixteen years and could be kept by the child for a period of 14
<br />days. She explained that these toy loan libraries were in operation in var~ous
<br />cities throughout the country and had been quite successful. There were numerous
<br />children who did not have sufficient toys or probably none none at all and childre
<br />became tired o~ playing with the same toys all the time. The opportunity to get a
<br />new toy is beneficial to the children. She said she was inquiring about a suitable
<br />location for this work and felt that the location at the city hall would be ideal
<br />if there was any way the council could make room. She was asked how large a
<br />space she would need and said she was unable to say at this time. Councilman
<br />Stewart asked if the space on' the upper floor of the city hall that the l\TYA
<br />had talked of using was being used by them. City Engineer Clubb reported he did
<br />not think it was. Mrs. B~rch said the room would be open2oc only one or two days
<br />a week and that the ort,anization would be glad to take care of whatever additional
<br />expense there would be regarding the room. Councilman Bond pointed out there would
<br />be no heat but said he thought the scheme was a commendable idea and felt it should
<br />be referred to a comrnittee. Councilman Hawn reported he felt the same as Mr. Bond
<br />and would like to see the matter referl'ed to a committee. Mayor Large then referre
<br />this to the Park Committee to report back a t the next meeting.
