TVZ&$$$giS,-&9 (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Ke&p Toys Simpl Says Expert BY GAY PAULEY United Press Correspondent New York (U.R) Talk about toys in the springtime? Certainly, said Warren Goch- enour, a toy s e 1 e ction ex pert. Child ren's p 1 a y things should be a year around th i ng for doting par ents and other r e 1 a t ives to consider. Cay Pauity Gochenour, gfho runs an unusual toy organiz ation in St. Paul, Minn., said that's one of the roubles in the child's world of play today. Everybody "gorges" the kids with toys at Christmas. Period. But children need play material the year round. One way to keep this latter method from becoming costly, Gochenour said, is to choose the toy not by its price tag but by us interest to the child. "Take the stick horse," he said. "Doesn't cost much...but is an all-time favorite." Gochenour pronounced "aoa er" said another mistake is the selection of toys too fancy. That's why the child plays with the box er plastic bag in which the toy yas packaged, rather than fcith the toy itself. "Svery parent thinks his child 9 precocious," said Gochenour, "4 toy can be tested, and sug- v&ve tor the tnree-to-five age ap, but the parent of the four-ar-old inevitably will choose a&e is the five-to-eight bracket." Cchenour, m New York to uuatfc over some new toys, said 1 own overestimating of the 4oy interest of his daughter, ojiail, led to his being in the toy Jftjtfing business. "When she was three, I bought JS an electric tram. "I realized later, as the train Mtected dust and she played SjiMt blocks, it was a pretty silly tScice. But I thought a lot of brents are just as confused." Um confusion led to organiza few of the Toy House, a national Brtributor of more than 500.000 ys each month, all of them ctteUtested. The testing is done in mort thm dozen nurseries, kinder gVai, children's home and day j mters in the St. Paul area. The iffeiWren have the toys for at 10 days, before they decide $$stker they like them. Their lasraj-i they keep all tre toys twy want. Gochenour said he Bslisves his is the only organiza tion tetting children rather than Jlte decide a toy's play value. Adults tend to choose intric ate playthings," he said. "Our 4iw get complicated...we try to feBiet the same state of affairs eta ur children. And yet, look 9&ugh the years at the favori sttA 4jrs.

It is now at Camp White. The hospital at Camp White, and Sacred Heart will also be visited by the Future Nurses' club, an active group at Medford High School. Dr. Martin L. Vprheis, speaker of the evening, presented an in formative discussion on "Arthri tis," stressing the fact that it is difficult of diagnosis because thre are so many types, and it is a mimic of other diseases. The anticipated visit of Mrs. Bertha Byrnes, state executive secretary, was postponed due to illness, and her assistant, Miss Nora Marko, came in her stead. Miss Marko had a full day be fore speaking to the group about the need for continuing nurse education at all levels, to keep abreast of changing techniques in the profession. In addition to a tour of the pear orchards, she had been escorted through the Camp White domiciliary, moder ated and office nurses section attended by representatives from Klamath Falls, Grants Pass and Ashland, and been the dinner guest of the executive board at Hotel Medford. 4 ' Class to Meet Builders' class of Eastwood Baptist church will hold the monthly social meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Tuttle, 3074 Bellinger lane, Fri day, April 26, at 8 p.m. Officers will be elected.

Beach, Patio Styles Feature Bright Cottons The smartest fashions are often born on the beach and designers of beach wear make a point of interpreting some of their most exciting ideas in gay, colorful cottons, reports the Na tional Cotton council. Cotton beach and patio clothes for 1957 take two new direc tions: the bareback look and the covered up silhouette. Breezy floral-printed sheers, giant frost ed plaids and woven cottons made to resemble appliqued lace all make playclothes that are absolutely backless, and often strapless. Patio dresses in pale prints and cotton jerseys have new sleeves cut out from the shoul der blade. Necklines cut high and square In front V-cut in back are seen in foamy pink and white lace prints and cot ton satins appliqued in white eyelet. , New low - curved horseshoe necklines are featured in longer-length floral cotton chiffons and wide-spaced plaids with colorful piping. A long, full flowing dress in Spanish gold cotton twill has a horseshoe neckline piped in lilac to match a wrap-around string sash. Fashion says bare your back to the sun and resort cottons go along with fashion. The halter bareback beach dress is a case in point. Cut high in front with a tiny col lar and a row of buttons, it has a shirtwaist look which con trasts with its bare back. One designer does this in window pane checked gingham with its back cut bare to a wide belt which encircles the waist. The same top appears on a compani on pastel playsuit which has little girl bloomers.
