Make Sure Toys Under Tree
Are f or Children and Not You
By JOHN B. KNOX
Boston, Dec. 20 (P) Think hard. Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus!
Make sure those toys you put under the Christmas tree are for
your youngsters and not for you.
"Adults generally purchase toys for children a vear to three
years in advance of the time they should have them," says Boston
university proiessor oi education
James A. Wylie.
A toy given
too soon can
spoil a child's interest in it, or
his enjoyment of it when he's
physically or mentally ready for
it later.
Take roller skates, he says.
"If junior is too young, he may
have a lot of bad spills, falls
which will make him turn to
something else. Games that re
quire a degree of co-operation
will end in a series of quarrels
and cries of cheating.
"Adults choose certain toys
partly because they appeal to
them, partly because they have
trouble remembering their own
childhood especially earlier
than the age of five. What they
think they remember is often
what someone else had told them
afterward," the professor soys.
He says children's gifts should
be chosen for development of interest.
President Truman
Praises FBI Chief
Washington, Dec. 20 ()
President Truman says he has
always thought well of J. Edgar
Hoover, chief of the federal bu
reau of investigation.
That was the president's an
swer to a news conference ques
tions yesterday about a recent
book by Max Lowenthal which
criticized some of the FBI's activities.
Because Lowenthal was once
closely associated with Mr. Tru
man, the publication of the book
gave fresh impetus to reports
that the president was cool to
ward the FBI chief.
Here are some other sugges
tions (Dr. Wylie cautions to re
member the interest angle and
individual variation):
Age 6 and up to 10 or 11, will
find a strong interest in various
types of building blocks, some
interlocking for complex struc
tures, some huge-like bricks, or
larger, for making (roofless)
houses, doors, they can enter.
Towards 8, roller skates.
Towards 10 and later con
struction sets (highly creative),
good enough not to limit ability
and interest.
Age 8 and thereafter, games
like checkers, parchesi, baseball
and games resembling darts, but
with safe non-sharp throwing
equipment.
Scoring boards should have
low numbers, easy to add. From
on, boys will like baseball,
basketball equipment.
Girls will continue interest in
duplicates of mothers household
equipment, vacuum cleaners,
dish washers and outdoor games,
softball, croquet, harmless arch
ery (boys too).
By 10 or 11, girls will develop
interest in music or may want
to own a phonograph, choose
their own records.
Boys in the country may like
fishing equipment by 11 or 12.
Others of the same age may like
photography, developing and
printing.
Shanley Draws
15-Year Term
Dallas Vincent F. Shanley,
who, shortly after being released
from the Oregon state peniten
tiary on parole, held up and ter
rorized Mr. and Mrs. Earl Cor
der and son, Larry, in Indepen
dence on November 30, was sen
tenced to 15 years in the state
penitentiary Tuesday by Judge
Arlie G. Walker in circuit court.
The formal charge was armed
robbery. Shanley waived grand
jury indictment and pleaded
guilty to the charge.
The 15-year sentence will run
concurrently with an 18-month
sentence in Marion county pro
nounced by Judge George R-
Duncan December 8. In that
case the charge was carrying
concealed weapon, the weapon
being a Luger automatic that he
had taken from the Corders
"Swap and Shop" store to use
in a taxicab holdup in Salem.
Charges on the holdup were not
pressed.
Shanley was released from
the ' penitentiary the same day
that he accosted the Corders. He
had served 22 months of a 5-
year Multnomah county sentence
on a check charge. When he vi
olated this parole, the parole was
automatically revoked and he
now has to serve three years and
two months of the Multnomah
sentence before he starts serving
on the 15-year sentence and the
18-months se n t e n c e , running
concurrently.
The Corders are formerly of
Dallas, having moved their store
to . Independence from here.
Shanley forced Corder to assist
him in binding and gagging Mrs.
Corder and their small son, then
bound Mr. Corder himself. The
