Toy Musical Instruments Designed For AIL Played by Adults, Children By Sae Gardner Finn H Magnus is one Ameri can designer who can boast of bringing the means of home rec reation to mil- " lions of families J in tms country. From his work---shop has- come designs fori many inexpen- ( sive toy musical inst r u me nti from harmoni cas to bagpipes, that are played by almost as many adults as children. . , . He has not only designed these Instruments, but he .has also worked out a number system for playing them without the need of reading notes. Using his system anyone can play a simple tune with no more than five minutes practice. Fond parents start out to stock a suppl of the instru ments for their children and us ually wind up playing them, themselves. An orchestra leader uses Magnus electric organ in some numbers because it is so easily transported, and bis more elaborate harmonicas have been used for both classical and Intri cate jazz renditions. )' The d e s i g n e r's phenomenal career started hist five years ago in a small basement workshop in his home. He had decided to try his hand at fashioning a plastic harmonica to compete favorably with foreign imports. The idea came to him during World War II when he shopped for a harmonica to give to a child. None were available, but one store- keeper took the - time to explain that most such toys were imported and that the war had made them pretty scarce. Magnus wrote to the U. S. Chamber of Commerce and found that in 193 we had imported 19, 000,000 harmonicas. Ten years later, even after foreign models were available, only 1,000,000 werfl being brought from other ' countries. "The trick was te find a plastic with a good -tone, so that I could make a model that would play reeeanUable Church Groups Slate Meetings SILVERTON The Immanuel Women's Missionary Federation membership will meet in the Fire side room Thursday afternoon, March 15, with Miss Hilda Olsen to present the topic, "Better Lead ex."

For a nominal fee, a par ent can start a six or seven year old child on a harmonica of simple construction: There ai eleven different model! of plastic harmonicas, ranging from eight to 40 reeds, the last one having sharps and flats on a chromatic scale, ; , f After the harmonica, the child can" tackle s keymoniea, which Is . a combination har monica, : clarinet, and button aeeordian, enabling him to try fingering technique. The de- signer's own sea, whe is eight. Is already at this stage. There are four types of inexpensive accordians for the very young to elementary school children, and many high school students also play these instruments. Among his more elaborate pro ductions is an all-plastic electric organ, which has two octaves. He is working on plans for a larger electric organ. This can be play ed by one -child to accompany another on such an instrument as the junior horn harmonica, which has a molded -on amplifying hornl Hand movements over the bell of the horn Droduce the violin sound and trefholos that come with, much practice on a regular harmonica. A child can also produce special effects such as a train sound on this instru ment. The latest model f from the Magnus workbench lis an all plastic bagpipe, made In such attractive authentie Scottish plaids that It can be used as a wall decoration la a playroom or children's room when not la use. Incidently, the plastie In struments can all be displayed because this does not harm their mechanisms. t (Copyright 1951, .General Features Corp.) Mrs. Ed Zitzewitz: and Mrs. C. E. Jorgenson.

' , Written for AP Newsfeatnres " i I Credit managers in the ordinary reUu store are pretty nice fel lows kind fathers, good husbands. They are trained to treat you wisely and well. Of course there are .ogresln the business. You can find them in any business; And if the one-in-a-thousand credit man ager tries to rob you, you do have' an outi I i r i " . - - If you cannot convince the brute that the dollar he wants you to pay is reauy owea dj anomer iet- low who has your name (and who merely a p pens to look like you and to live - at the same address as you) then go talk' with the folks af the credit bureau of the Retail Merchants Association. Explain the situation to them, and .tell them you want to keep your credit clean, They . will do more than sym pathize with you. They may even agree that the erring credit man ager is a heel. It is their pleasure and duty to other ! merchants to see that the records on your credit are accurate. As a minimum", they will adjust their records to show that you have "protested" the un paid bill. - This will take away some of the "black from the mark bside your name. Of course, if you "protest" many of your unpaid f bills, no amount of further talking will convince the credit people that- you aren't a ! deadbeat. .You will begin to suspect it yourself. ; Installment Practice . I In contrast L to the charge ac count as a form of credit, the in stallment type of credit is the one where you take the merchandise, and sign a contract promising to make certain payments over a spe cified period of time. These pay ments cover : the total purchase price, and also usually, include in terest, carrying charges, or other costs such as insurance. The legal document going with the - installment contract is either a chattel mortgage or a conditional bill of sale. If the mortgage is used, title is yours, but it goes back to the seller if you don't pay as prom ised. If the conditional bill of sale is. used, title stays with the seller until the final payment is made. In either case,if you don't pay, the merchant can repossess the goods. " In any case, whether you buy on installment or simply charge, it is wise to pay one's bills. Hon esty still is the best policy, and prudent management is its own reward.' - . -; Pay Bills on Time To keep anyone's credit depart ment from turning you . down, maintain your credit standing by paying your bills on schedule. Also watch your total indebtedness, and don't go too much in tha red. When a credit manager ,' tells you that you shouldn't go -into debt any further, you have already gone into debt too far. , - But Just, how far Is too far? I wish I could aay that you can safely go into debt up to an amount not greater than "X per cent of your income, but I can't. If there is a general rule as to how far you can safely go in in curring debt, that rule is this: Don't incur another dollar's worth of debt, unless you can tea your way clear to pay it off. Fit the proposed debt into your budget. If It won't fit, don't buy. . and We've got a grand array rayons just for this occasion !
