4 The Newi-Review, Roseburg, Ore. Thur., Nov. 10, 1949 Toy Makers Foresee Record Christmas Sales But Dollar Volume May Disclose Slump By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK UP) Santa Claus Is set to put a $300 million bite on dad lor toys this Christmas. There are a record number of children to unwrap the presents, and a record number ot fathers to buy the toys and help them wear out. The shops will offer more low er-priced toys, but plenty of lux ury priced ones, too. American toy manufacturers think they'll top last year's unit sales vol ume, but that slightly lowered prices may keep the dollar sales volume down to last year's $300 million. Santa Claus may be pe nalized a few yards in commu- hit by strikes or lay-offs. But for the country as a whole, there should be as many, or more, fond fiarents, uncles and aunts, try ng out the toys on store count ers, and buying. They'll have a wide choice. Al most every problem currently agitating parents Is echoed In the nities where incomes have been designs for new playthings. For LEARN TO FLY! FREE! G. I.

I'Wi Ahflrti PRIZE POSTER Herbert Matter, New York photographer, looks at his poster, which won him $1000 in a New York contest spon sored by the Museum of Modern Art and the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. The poster, which won first prize, is a photo-montage. Matter used his own son, who recovered from polio, as one of the models. instance, department store toy counters now set up for the sales rush, are showing more toys pre sumably powered by atomic en ergy and Jet propulsion. Or, if father has been worried about the housing slutatlon, may be he'll buy one of the new pre fabricated toy houses. If he's all steamed up about the tug-of-war between coal and oil, with its overtones of strikes and prices, and the labor dis- ?utes involved in changing over rom steam locomotives to die sels perhaps he'll be interested to note that electric train sets show more diesel-type locomo tives this year than steam. And among the new games is one in which the object is to find parking space for the family car. Many persons no longer consider this search funny, but the game is said to be absorbing and serves to let the youngster see what lie's In for. The farm Influence, now that crop surpluses and food prices are so to the fore in even a toy maker's mind, Is strong in the electric train department. For in stance, you can buy your future 4-H club member a cattle car with ramps that toy cattle will walk up and down. The magnet h plentiful, too. There's a magnetic farm, with little pigs led unerringly to the source of their dinner by mag nets, cows that are milked mag netically, and a rabbit with a magnetic nose to which a carrot clings. The trend to lower priced toys shows up In the Christmas cata logs of mail order houses. Both Sears Roebuck and Montgomery Ward feature the cheaper play thing. Mongtomery Ward lists twice as many toys under $1 as last year. All together, its cata log shows 12 percent more toys this year. Sears has more Christ mas lighting fixtures for sale, with fancier and more brilliant effects. Most stores placed their orders before Nov. 1, but some are re ported reordering and In a few items,' especially some of the most popular of the new dolls, are having to wait for delivery. The effect of the steel strike, however, Is generally minimized in the trade. Foreseeing it, most manufacturers laid in enough stocks last summer. Dolhs are a chief standby, as always.

Forced Grading Of Meat Opposed By Wool Growers rUKlLANV, NOV. 1U. Uf) Oregon's wool growers oppose any compulsory grading of meat by city, state or leaerai agencies. Their convention voted unani mously ye&ieiuay iui a i louiuuuii aimed specifically at a Portland city plan to compel gracing oi an meats. It included, however, op position to compclsory grading by any agency. Delegates said they favored voluntary grading such as the federal grading plan. The grow ers argued that "grading actually means degrading because most of Oregon's meat animals are mar keted grass fat." They explained that only 2 to 3 per cent of Ore gon animals grade A or AA. The other carcasses are Just as nu tritious, they said. On other issues, the growers opposed a Columbia Valley ad ministration, daylight saving time and the Hoover report pro posal touching on grazing land administration. The government reorganization recommendations of the former president's commit tee suggested transfer of the fed eral grazing service from the de department of agriculture.
