MONDAY, AUGUST 30, 1954 HERALD A.vl) o.IKGON PAGE THREE JOE HICKS Hicks Adds World Toy House Line "Most of the youngsters in the Klamath Basin want to be cow boys," was the deduction drawn "by Joe Hicks, operator of Hicks Grocery Service, 355 East Main, wnen asked about acceptance of World Toy House toys in the area. Added to this grocery service, he brought another first to Klam ath a few months ago when he es tablished the first distributorship on the West Coast for World Toy House toys. Of the more than 100 varieties of toys he keeps on hand at the local warehouse, he says water pistols and cap pistols in cowboy holsters are by all odds the most popular with the young fry. After setting up Toy House racks in retail outlets all over Oregon, he entered into a California part nership at Sacramento with Henry Bonifield, former foods salesman in this area who had moved to Los Angeles. From the two loca tions they service more than 1100 retail outlets, using 21 trucks in California and 14 in Oregon. Each toy has been subjected to . at least six different week-long tests in actual use by children, supervised by the St. Paul head quarters of World Toy House. Hicks has just returned from a ' first hand view of the operation in Minnesota. World Toy House approves only the toys that meet rigid requirements for sustained play value, safety, durability and suitability. Manufacturers usually package the toys before shipment and 90 per cent are now enclosed in Po lyethelyne, he says. Two more Pacific Coast distil- ' butorships have been set up, both in the state of Washington, bring ing the total of World Toy House distributors to 68 In the nation. The packaged toys, displayed on serve-yourself racks which are re plenished several times a month, provide sanitary toys, ranging from a dime- upwards, all year round at grocery markets, variety stores, hotel lobbies and drug stores. All toys are marked for suitable age groups. Although Klamath Falls is head quarters for the state, the city of Eugene carries more toy racks per capita than any other spot in Oregon. Mexico Starts Anti-Drink Move .MEXICO CITY (JP) A 'small scale prohibition has invaded Mex ico, of all places. The average Mexican is about the most ardent defender of indi vidual rights in the world. They don't even lock up lunatics here, on the theory a man has a right to be peacefully crazy. That makes the advent of prohibition all the more amazing. Gov. Agustin Yanez of Jalisco state, which produces the best te quila, started it by closing saloons over the weekend. Police authori ties were dubious at first. Now they are mildly enthusiastic and report petty crime is down 40 per cent. Neighboring Nayarit state on the Facific coast was impressed and put in a similar closing order Aug. 15. Nayarit bar owners threatened to go on strike. Gov. Limon Guz man said that would be fine with him. The saloonkeepers also said that anybody who wanted a drinit would just buy a bottle Friday and, anyway, prohibition would only lead to speak-easies. Gov. Guzman said that at least the country peo ple who sell tn the Saturday mar kets wouldn't be able to spend money in the bars. RELEASED HANOI, Indochina An offi cial spokesman announced that French release of 527 Vietminh at Viet Tri Monday completed the return of 29.068 Vietminh captives which the French held ir.

The commit tee now plans a meeting later in September at which time size reg ulations will be considered.

Van Vac- tor will discuss the legal side of the alcoholic problem Friday night at a meeting the Klamath Falls group of Alcoholics Anonymous in the A A Center, 120 R i v e r s i d e, Maple Park. The meeting which is scheduled to start at 8:30 p.m. will be open to all persons having an alcoholic problem or who are lnterestea in AA's program for aiding uncon trolled drinkers. Dick C, one of the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous in Klamath Falls, said the organization is rap idly growing. He pointed out that more young persons than ever De fore have been attracted to the AA program. "A few years ago," he said, "about the only alcoholics who turned to AA were those who had hit bottom and had no place else to turn. It's an altogether different story today. Persons who sought AA help were nearly always in their late forties or early fifties. "At present younger persons are joining AA before they have lost their Jobs or sulfered other serious setbacks due to uncontrolled drink ing." Dick C. also pointed out that Al coholics Anonymous has nothing to offer the social drinker. We are not interested in 'Sat urday night drunks' or persons who can take it or leave it alone." he concluded. "Our program is for those persons who cannot control their drinking and whose lives, as a result, have become unmanage able." EXPLOSION HAMBURG, Germany I.T. The Hamburg newspaper Die Welt re ported Monday that a newly built Soviet oil refinery near Stalingrad was destroyed by a tremendous explosion Aug. 14.

Taylor The new-comer paid ca.sh to be gin with and later ran a charcc account. Then one night he left town with wife and kiddies, leav ing the grocer to hold the bag. God knows all the thoughts and intents of the heart and so it was that God knew the man's intent to leave the grocery bill unpaid. Every heart, your heart included, is de ceitful above all things and des perately wicked. So says God. Yet God yearns to Ge0. x. Taylor have you cleared and at peace with himself. Youi lies;- swearing, cursing, oathev secret and open sins, your vile speech, forever separate you from God unless you receive nrisi as Gods Son who died for your every last sin. God gave his Son to die for you. Receive Christ into your heart. Welcome Him as your Lord and Saviour. At tnat ood gives you eternal life. This mes sage sponsored by a Portland Lbr. Mfg. Wife.
