The official CHP Mascot "Chipper" is pictured here with a young toy recipient. The annual CHiPs For Kids Christmas Toy Drive was a huge success in Mojave, Calif. After a visit with Santa each child could go into the "toy room" where they could each pick two toys from the hundreds that were donated. Moms were able to pick up a box of Christmas dinner fixings, as well as a frozen turkey or ham. It was estimated that in excess of three hundred Mojave families were participating in this year's event co-sponsored by the Salvation Army, Kern County Fire Fighters and Kern County Sheriff Dept.
