CHOO-CHOO HOSPITAL: Fixing trains that refuse to huff and puff and smoke and whistle and run the way they were intended to is the odd-hour hobby and business of Richard Guarino of 1803 Arbor View Blvd., who has set up the basement workshop partly shown here and named it the Malmar Round House. Employed at Edwards Bros., Inc., Guarino has been forced from his job by a back ailment for the last two months. In that time, he has mended more than 200 electric trains - and is at his bench 14 and more hours a day now to get 'em all rolling by Christmas.

ALL EYES ON MINIATURE TRAIN: A miniature village, complete with electric train, hospital, houses, an elevator, trucks, ambulance, cars and planes, focuses the attention of the above third grade pupils from University Elementary School who were guests of Bobbie Tompkins at a Christmas party this week. The recreation room in the home of Bobbie's parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Tompkins, 1795 S. State St., was turned over to the youngsters who found an almost limitless number of toys to play with. From left to right above are Phillip Tanner, Bobbie's cousin; Joanne Ivory, Jane Litzenberg, Bobbie Tompkins, Ann Coleman, Jackie Peterson, Sue Greenman, Jon Lopez, Cubbie Eggertsen, Wayne Van Wagoner, Mary Craig (just the ruffle on Mary's dress, her hand, and the tip of her nose show), and Penny Foster. The girl with her back to the camera is Starlett Tanner, another cousin of Bobbie. At the far right, the hand and the forehead which it is rubbing belong to Jimmy Stockard, and it's Allison Dempster who is peering over the shoulders of Mary and Penny. Each child was presented with a gift at the party from a large Christmas tree. The party is an annual affair and was given this year for the third time.

Caption:
WELL-TRAINED CHILDREN: This is what greeted the children of C. William Moss of 2304 Pittsfield Blvd., Pittsfield Village, when they awoke yesterday morning. Moss, stooping behind the homemade "locomotive," fashioned it from an oil drum and various other odds and ends. The cab's instrument panel features surplus airplane dials, one of which operates a headlight on the front of the "engine."
