New York - fUM - From
pre-chooleri squealing de
lightedly in a game ol Three
Little Pigi to adulta engroued
over a Scrabble board. Amer
icans these days are playing
cames.
: They plunked down more
than 16 million last year for
board games alone - the clas
sics such ai checkers and
chess. Monopoly, parcheesl
and Scrabble, and (or the lat
est games based on topics ol
. the times - the stock market,
space, politics. . "
i Some SO or 60 companies
manufacture board games.
Many of these have experts
armed with years of accum
ulated experience working
full-time on game ideas. Nev
ertheless, some . of the best
games have been thought up
by amateurs; many an inven
tive school teacher, -doctor,
lawyer; housewife has earned
enviable returns for his ideas.
.' And at least one game man
ufacturer, the 92-year-old Sel
chow & Righter Co., offers
encouragement to the individ
ual with a new game idea. ? .
' Along with the encourage
ment it points out some hard
facts that face the inventor.
The, company: manufactures
Scrabble, one of the most suc
cessful games ever introduc
ed. n ; 1
i Scrabble is the brainchild
of Alfred M. Butts, an archi
tect, who worked out his
"crossword puzzle game"
"during idle time in the de
pression years. For ten years
he worked to perfect it and
to market it but could arouse
no interest among manufac
turers in a word game. Even
crossword puzzle popularity
had waned. Games involving
money were more timely, fill
ing people's need to feel pros
perous. -In 1948 'James Brunot, a

friend who had been in
trigued by the game, deter
mined to make a fresh effort
to launch it and negotiated an
agreement to pick up where
Butts had left off. For five
years he carried on the strug
gle, producing and selling the
game himself, with Selchow
& Righter manufacturing the
board for him - a courtesy
which was to be repaid many
times over. In 1952 the game
finally caught fire "over
night,'.' and Selchow & Right
er was successful bidder for
rights to manufacture and
distribute Scrabble.
Kenneth Kunhardt, one of
the company's games experts,
has some pertinent advice for
would-be game inventors.
The big market today is for
games that can be played by
the entire family; games for
only two opponents rarely at
tain great volume sales.
Games must be of their time.
Today the emphasis is on ac
complishment and learning.
People want to know. They
want to excel,
Games have to be challeng
ing and knowledge testing
as well as diverting. Howev
er, an educational game that
is not also fun will not sell.
There are no completely
new games, just as there are
no completely new story
plots. The experts said all
games fall into five catego
ries; board games, card
games, action games, chess or
checker types and the mod
ern .quiz or word games.
What makes a new game dif
ferent is the theme and the
accessories used to carry it
out - the board, pawns, tiles,
blocks, cards (standard play
ing cards should not be used
since special expensive stock
and taxes will add to manu
facturing cost).
As a final bit of advice, the
firm emphasized the impor
tance of offering the game to
a reputable manufacturer and
selling it on a royalty basis
instead of outright. If the
game succeeds, royalties will
roll in for years.

MAIN and
Reading Is Tool
For Education,
Woman Stresses
The responsibility of the
adult reader in encouraging
the youth of the community
to use reading as a tool of
their education was diaussed
by Mrs.- Ann Fisher, well
known author, at a meeting
of the Friends of the Library
last week. Mrs. Fisher, a
Rogue Valley Manor resident,
believes that the privilege of
helping young people to learn
to read well and thus become
an informed citizen is the
duty of every adult who en-
Joys reading.
Mrs. Fisher was introduced
by Robert Heffernan, chair
man of the Library group,
who gave a brief sketch of
Mrs. Fisher's background.
The seven - year research
that led to the writing of
Mrs. Fisher's best-selling nov
el "Cathederal in the Sun"
was related to the audience.
She became interested in the
Carmel Indians through assist
ing a friend of her husband's
family from the Smithsonian
Institute who was an expert
in the field of Indian dialects.
Her flshest source of infor
mation was a woman, born
June 6, 1846, whose father
was an English cabin boy and
mother a Carmel Indian,
Many persons Mrs. Fisher con
tacted for information were
reluctant to tell what they
knew as previous authors,
they felt, had distorted the
material obtained from inter
views. Through constant visiting,
and -such things as presenting
small gifts on the subjects
"name day" Mrs. Fisher even
tually , was allowed to learn
information that had been de
nied other researchers.
At the time the research
for 'Cathederal in Sun' was
begun Mrs. Fisher was work
ing on another book, "Wide
Road Ahead" and, even after
she had completed her work
had intention of using it in
a book.
Sometime later, touched by
the words used in refusing to
attend a dance in a Monterey
Valley town by a member of
the once wealthy, proud Car
mel tribe Mrs. Fisher deter
mined to use her research
material so that the history
of the tribe would not be
lost.
So well did she use her
material that after 20 years
"Cathederal In the Sun" is
used by anthropologists study
ing the Carmel Indians and,
also, is studied in college Eng
lish literature classes. - .

Russian Women
Won't Wear Red
Moscow-fllPD-The well-dress
ed Russian woman won't wear
red this summer.
Soviet fashion designers
have issued their commands
to Mrs. and Miss Russia sub
dued colors, combing elegance
with practicality.
Radio Moscow, in its home
service program, added the
Soviet tailpiece to the recent
ly concluded European fash
ion shows.
'Various shades of brown,
beige, grey and blue are in
vogue this season," tha broad
caster said. "They predomi
nate in the new dresses of the
all-union collection of 1961."
Lifting the veil on what
goes on behind the Soviet
fashion scenes, Radio Moscow
said the new fashions have
been created by designers of
The House of Fashions, who
met at a conference held in
Moscow.
The broadcaster said that
albums of the collection will
soon go out to all fashions
houses.
"Very soon," said the broad
caster, "clothing enterprises
will offer the customer ele
gant and practical dresses,
costumes and coats."
The broadcaster did not say
what the new Soviet line
would be.
Egg size has nothing to do
with egg quality. Quality is
based on the interior condition
of the egg, not the shell color.

Of New York Glamour
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Woman's Editor
New York -iUPB- Maybe the
years finally are telling. But
continually I find myself ask-
l n g, "W h a t-
ever happened
to the glamor
that used to
give this city
the title,
'glamor capi
tal of the
world'?"
The ques
tion never
Gay Pauley
hauls me up
short in Indianapolis or San
Francisco or Dallas. But here
in this town, there isn't a day
goes by without my clucking
my tongue as I walk up Park
or Fifth Avenue, observing
the younger set in passing.
. What has happened? Beat
up ballet shoes or soiled sneak
ers. Black stockings. Soiled
"ankle" socks pulled up to
mid-calf. Or, trousers, ill-fit
ting and non-belonging on a
city street. Cigarets dangling
from purposefully pale lips.
No rouge. Hair that rats
wouldn't use for a nest.
It used to be a consistent
matter to consider Fifth Ave
nue and 57th Street the best-
dressed corner in the whole
world. It was the cross-roads
of chic. But now, when this
corner looks its smartest, who
makes it so? The women in
their 30s, their 40s, and their
50s.
Pasty Look Favored
What has happened to the
ones who have youth going
for them? Those who should
be wearing the glowing faces
and blossom of early woman
hood don't seem to care any
more. The pasty look has
taken over.
- Not so, thank heavens, in
Indianapolis, Dallas, San
Francisco, my home town of
Charleston, W. Va., and other
cities I visit frequently. In
them, neatness and the well
scrubbed look still prevail.
At one- time, in this, my
adopted, town, glamour was
personified by the vitality of
Jinx Falkenburg, the peach-
bloom complexion of Georgia

But oh my, how times have

I Just mentioned are missed!
Missed, especially, when you
look at black stockings and
stringy hair. Missed, because
now we have shrill voices and
heavily smudged eyes to go
with the girls who should be
our glamour candidates of to
day. Just Don't Car
. I've concluded that the
girls of our city just don't care
anymore. In any store here,
or in any other town in our
country, one can buy clothes
of excellent line and of ex
cellent taste at any price.
Then why the messes?
I just don't understand.
That is why I always feel
better and have my faith in
femininity restored, when I
get away from my adopted
city and visit Dallas and In
dianapolis and San Francisco
and Charleston. So far, our
young women in other parts
of the nation have not adopt
ed as their ideals the young
New Yorkers of whom I
write. Thank goodness the
"don't-care look" has not yet
crossed the Hudson River and
moved West.
Would that some of our
other cities would lend us
some examples of cleanliness
and neatness and good man
ners and chic which once
made our town, New York,
the "glamour capital of the
world."
