Assayers Find Gold
Is Only Shiny Brass
Castalc, Calif., Nov. 9 W
California's latest gold strike
was a little too strong on brass.
A rash of gold fever spread
through this little community
-when Charley Allen discovered
hiny metal in a well behind his
cafe. Prospectors converged on
the town, only 10 miles from the
aite of California's first gold
discovery in 1842.
They thought Allen had the
real thing. Claims were filed
and samples of the golden stuff
were sent to the assayers.
The assayer's report quickly
cured the fever. It said there was
a little gold all right, but that
the shiny stuff was brass.

$300 Million Bite on Dad
For Christmas Toys Looms
By SAM DAWSON
New York, Nov. 9 Wi Santa Claus is set to put a $300 million
bite on Dad for toys this Christmas. There are a record num
bei of children to unwrap the presents, and a record number of
fathers to buy the toys and help them wear out.
The shops will offer more lower-priced toys, but plenty of
luxury priced ones, too. Amer--
ican toy manufacturers think
they'll top last year's unit sales
volume, but that slightly low
ered prices may keep the dollar
sales volume down to last year's
$300 million. Santa Claus may
be penalized a few yards in com
munities where incomes have
been hit by strikes or lay-offs.
But for the country as a whole,
there should be as many, or
more, fond parents, uncles and
aunts, trying out the toys on
store counters, and'buying.
They'll have a wide choice.
Almost every problem current
ly agitating parents is echoed in
the designs for new playthings.
For instance, department store
toy counters now set up for the
sales rush, are showing more
toys presumably powered by
atomic energy and jet propulsion.
Or, if father has been worried
about the housing situation,
maybe he'll buy one of the new
prefabricated 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
putes involved in changing over
from steam locomotives to dies
els 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 I
find parking space for the family j
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 he's in for.
The farm influence, now that
crop surpluses and food prices
arc so to the fore in even a toy
maker's mind, is strong in the
electric train department. For
instance, you can buy your fu
ture 4-H club member a cattle
car with ramps that toy cattle
will walk up and down.
The magnet is 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. Montgomery Ward lists
twice as many toys under $1 as
last year. All together, its cata
log shows 12 per cent more toys
this year. Sears has more Christ
mas lighting fixtures for sale,
with fancier and more brilliant
effects.
Most stores placed their or
ders before November 1, but
some are reported 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. Fore
seeing it, most manufacturers
laid in enough stocks last sum
mer. Dolls are a chief standby, as
always.
