CAMBRIDGE, Mass. W Fran-1
cis L, Ball, retired president ot
group of utilities companies. Is
uavint more fun with toys at 70
than when he was a youngster.-
He's quite sure that nobody, "ex
cept maybe a few hard characters,
ever quite outgrows his childhood.''
Ball's toy-collecting hobby keep
him a busy man and has brought
him into contact with people all
over , the country, it oegan many
years ago when ho started collect

During his business career Ball
han . observed tnai men,,, "wnose
only-, interest was business," folded
up and didn't last long after they
retired.". ? -
By the time lie reached retire
ment' age himself, five years ago,
his ban collection had broadened
into general toy collecting. He be
gan swapping and trading with oth
er collectors all over the country.
Kverybody, it seems, is interest
ed in toys, either childhood mem
ories or because of children in the
family. ,v v1:- y...
NOT MUCH ON TOYS
.. Ball looked Into the subjects of
toys and toy making and found far
mj lutie has been written about
the subject. He extracted from li
braries data , about articles pub
lished in antique periodicals. He

old toys can be repaired. They
ask how they can - replace riders,
drivers and ladders which have
disappeared from long-treasured
toys. . !.! .. ;
In his work shop, he makes min
or adjustment on his own toys,
but no -major repairs. Patching,
welding, adding a replacement

Intricate and did astonishing things.
He sees a trowing understand

toys and history, toys that reflect
an age, an environment and even
personalities ----v:;: " "
He thinks that In general, mili
tary type toys existed in just about
the same proportion In olden days
as now. But he considers many of
today's toys far more challenging
to children's ingenuity and con
structive imagination. '
This Is just one facet of Frank
Bell's fssclnating hobby. ..
