of the air age will be wrapped
into a gift of a "Build-It-Your-
self" plane model kit for your
hobby enthusiast.
You'll find hobby kits for
every one, from the beginner to
the seasoned collector of scale
models.
For the beginner and the very
young, choose easy-to-assemble
kits with prefabricated parts
and simple, clear directions,
Make sure that the construction
time will be short, so the plane
will be ready for flight while
interest is still high.
For the little folks, a good
choice would be a glider or heli
copter that can be assembled in
a matter of minutes.
Enthusiasm will fly high if the
airplane does too. And the power
of flight can come from a ruDber
band, a gas engine, an electric
mntiti. ry a CCl-l rncnlti (That'
the gas that puts the fizz in soda
water.) .
Your Junior pilot will be
thrilled with a "U-control" mod
el, complete with its own real gas
engine, and you'll be thoughtful
to select a plane constructed of
hundreds of happy landings.
For your collector, select a
kit of a scale model, . complete
to the last exquisite detail.
Young, shipbuilders will find
hours of pleasure in fashioning
accurate miniatures of speed
boats or models of famous ships,
embodying in hull and sail the
vast adventures of history and
the sea. -You'll
find hobby kits for the
auto enthusiast and the model
railroader, too, to suit every age
and every pocketbook.

Gift Certificates
Help Solve Shopping
So! you've puzzled and puz
zled, and there are still several
folks on your gift list that you
just don't seem to know what
to give.
Or, some folks seem to have
everything and that makes it
difficult too.
This problem can be settled
most easily with a gift certifi
cate. Thus there are not sizes to
worry about or whether it's
the proper color or, will it be
a duplicate gift?
Most stores issue gift certifi
cates in any amount you want
and some firms issue gift certifi
cates for a specific item they
may have in stocks :
The best feature of giving a
gift certificate is that it gives
the recipient the privilege of
exercising his or her particular
taste in color and fashion.
