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. Dolls, boats, guns, cars
$tt trucks, rubber balls, puzzles
S8 he stick horse I mentioned.
C&arp them very complicated."

Nurse Education
Needs Explained
At Meeting Here
Twenty-t h r e e members and
three guests attended the last
monthly meeting of District 4,
Oregon State Nurses' association,
held at Sacred Heart hospital.
During the business meeting it
was stated that the Civil De
fense unit, a complete hospital
contained in one truck, may be
kept longer in this area if enough
persons are interested in seeing
it. 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.

Carnival colors show up in a
bloused shirtwaist beach top of
cotton chiffon. By Mary Blair of
Cabana, it goes over an awning
striped cotton satin swimsuit.
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.
