'Pusfi' Repaces Plaster in Carnivals,
Fairs; 'Days of Kewpie Dolls Numbered'
By WILEY MALONEY
United Press Correspondent
San Francisco (U.R) When
you lay down your dime at ba
. zaars, carnivals, rodeos and state
fairs this summer, you'll be
shooting for "plush" not ''plas
ter." Phil (Trader) Horn let us in
on this in a staccato interview
at the warehouse where he fills
thousands of orders destined for
midway booths. He is the larg
'est West Coast jobber for carni
' val novelties, himself a "carny"
for 30 years.
" "The days of the kewpie doll
are numbered," said Trader,
whose words come at you like
bullets. "Kewpies are plaster
like pigs, billikins, puppies. All
diist catchers. It's bronze horses
now, and plush mostly plush."
Plush, he said, means oversiz
ed panda bears, fuzzy dogs, lions.
tigers, French dolls, puppets and
cartoon characters like Mickey
Mouse.,
"They stop the kids," said
Trader". "They stop the girls.
Bank Backers Seek
Organization Head
Rogue River Those interest
ed in the organization of a new
bank in Rogue River have sent
out inquieries seeking a man to
head the proposed community
bank, it was reported this week.
Shade Combs and Guy Mus
ser, among the backers of the
bank plan, said the community is
100 per cent behind the proposal.
Attempts are being made to raise
$50,000 locally to get the bank
started, and sale of stock is be
ing planned, with each share
carrying one vote.
The Rogue Valley State bank
of Medford has promised finan
cial and advisory help, it was
reported, and is assisting in the
search for a bank official. A. A.
Rogers, state banking superin
tendent, has been asked for his
assistance. He will be in Med
ford at the end of the month
and will probably meet with a
group from Rogue River,' it was
stated. f
Who else do you want to stop?
It looks like a 25-buck item and
it's what the customer wants. We
give it to 'em. Cooking stuff is
out unless maybe at a church
bazaar.
No Kettles
"But who wants to go home
with a kettle after the show?
Groceries are out except may
be a ham. Hams are still good.
But Spanish shawls are through.
And you can only get away with
blankets in Minnesota."
Trader said the way you win
the prizes is changing, too.
"The gambling games have
left the midway. That's for Reno
and Las Vegas. It's all skill now.
It's a dime in the air on a saucer
now. A ring around a coke bot
tle. Darts into balloons, games
with marbles and ping-pong
balls- - ;
"There's no more punch cards,
no more shell games. Fellow has
a hard time these days making
an honest dollar. Wheels are
gone. You've gotta talk your way
to wealth. You gotta entertain,
to give a show. Make peaple
happy."
But the value of the prizes is
greater than it was in the past.
"Slum," the plastic and wooden
novelties traditionally made in
Japan, are used only when a
prize is given on every play.
"That's for the kids," Trader
Horn said. "No carny will ever
let a kid go away empty handed.
See this?" he held up a tiny
bear strung from a ribbon.
"Can't buy it in a store. It's a
Davy Crockett item. It'll go big.
All Davy Crockett items will go
big this fall. We make 'em up
(here. I've got more fur caps
man any store in ian t rancisco.
I could buy 'em when everybody
else couldn't. A carnival jobber
is a constant outlet for novelties.
We keep year-round employ
ment in the toy industry. Can
you beat that?"
PREDICTS U. S. AID
Tokyo U.R) Takezo Shi
moda, director of the foreign
ministry's treaty bureau predict
ed today that Japan's growing
land forces alone would receive
"more than $100,000,000" in
arms from the United States dur
ing the 1956 fiscal year. He said
additional loans of warships and
planes were expected.
