Turn To Pages 8 and 9 FOR ADRIENNE'S BIG LIQUIDATION SALE ANNOUNCEMENT s New Toys Displayed By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Correspondent New York U.R) In the midst of thousands wondrously complicated toys now shown here for the first time at the 53rd annual American Toy Fair is a small plastic cow that goes "moo" as it moves. A man stood modestly beside the cow. In other parts of the hotel ballroom where the pick of the newest toys were display ed people jostled each other to get closer looks at amazing playthings. The Joys of Toys ' There were electrically-powered cars a child could drive five miles an hour; gasoline operated tractors; a miniature roller coaster which brought shrieks of delight from children; a new erector set which turned out scale model copies of things like the Empire State building and the United Nations building. Nobody stopped to pick up the small brown string and pull the spotted cow on his plastic wheels so the cow could swish its tail, turn its ears and rumble "mooo." ' The man beside the cow in troduced himself as Herman G. Fisher. It was his cow, Fisher said, and it was the first time in his 33 years in. the toy busi ness he had been able to make a mooing pull toy. Too Many Toys Fisher gazed complacently around the noisy ballroom and smiled down at his cow. He wasn't the least afraid, he said, that children today are outgrow ing the simple things in life. There are too many other toys competing for a child's at tention and intelligence by the time he is four years old, Fisher said without regret. The booming baby rate in this nation has boosted the toy busi ness steadily since the end of World War II. All of the toy manufacturers appeared cheer ful. HedrickFHA. Spoi nsors Dance Friday Night Future Homemakers of Amer ica at Hedrick Junior High school sponsored a Leap Year dance Friday, March 2 in the cafetorium.

But septic tanks can, and do, stop-up and over flo First, because the tank is not cleaned at proper intervals; sec ondly, toilet tissue that does not readily disintegrate may clog the drains and force them to back up! ' This may be avoided by using MD Toilet Tissue because MD is scientifically processed to ab sorb water quickly. Drains don't clog or back up so readily! - Good practice: Consult your County Health Department, your plumber, or a septic tank service company, for advice on cleaning your tank. Use MD Toilet Tissue! Iff UMC SPEAKER The .Rev Charles A. Epple, pastor of the i United Lutheran church, Eu-j gene, will speak on "What makes a good -community," at! the annual United Medford Cru sade dinner at 6:30 p.m. Thurs day, March 8.
