This image was taken for a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 05 December 1958: "The Palmerston North Return Services Association are packing Christmas parcels for the children of members of the association. The women are selecting the toys and the men are packing them. The city has been divided into 15 zones, one Father Christmas for each, to deal with the 645 homes containing 2000 children waiting for their toys to be delivered on Christmas morning. Over 100 toys were made by women members of the association."
