Happiness is giving a toy to underprivileged children, say donors (from left) Glenn Baty, aged four; Tony McClelland, three; Craig McClelland, seven; and Dwayne Baty, seven. They were at the Cashel Street premises of Wrightcars, one of the 78 Toyota car dealers throughout New Zealand that opened yesterday for a Christmas toy appeal. Eight hundred toys, new and old, were estimated to have been taken into Wrightcars and Cable Price. A manager of Wrightcars, Mr Baden Jury, said people had been “bringing in armfuls” of toys. One woman, an M.E. sufferer who wished to remain anonymous, had made 69 items for the appeal. “The people of Christchurch have been very generous,” said Mr Jury. For every toy collected, Toyota will give $5 to the appeal.
