Planning To Settle Down
Actress RefusesTo Answer If She Intends To Re-Wed

NEW YORK 'LPU - Myrna

The modern wife is a creature
harassed by propaganda and har
ried by TV commercials.
All day long, from Ihe minute
she opens her morning newspaper
until she turns otf the late-late
how at night, she is beset by
ominous commands, warnings and
downright threats, such as these:
"When you use a deodorant, are
you sure?
Dont drive your husband away
from home wilh detergent hands!"
When he kisses you, what about
your breath?"
If you want to hold your hus-
."lf you don't buy Magnetic

will look for it on another girl."
"Do you suffer from backache,
tired glands and milkmaid's knee?
You need our supercharged
Uranium Tonic."
"Does your husband rush home
al night? If not, look out!"
"Give him our Happy Pills and
enjoy a new outlook on marriage."
All these and more combine to
give the average wife a feeling
of desperate insecurity. She feels
that if she doesn t look like Mar
ilyn Monroe, dress like Mrs. Har
rison Williams, entertain like Elsa
Maxwell and smell like a perfume

Toy Industry
Set For Boom
LOS ANGELES (UPH-The loy
business, dragging its heels
through Ihe long summer while
the nation recovered from a re
cession, has taken on the aspects
of a boom.
Manufacturers who met a wave
of caution from Ihcir retail out
lets cut production when early
Christmas ordering fell far below
expectations by lalo summer.
The trend now has been re
versed and retail jobbers have
splashed in orders that have emp
tied wholesale warehouses and
caused speedups in assembly
line to meet an increased de
mand (or toys that began only a
few weeks ago.
Pensick and Gordon nf Los An
geles, largest manufacturers rep
resentative west of Manhattan,
regard lhc" early trend as a "gen
eral falldown."
"Retail outlets played it too
safe, they ordered too low." ac
cording to Al Gordon, who with
Sam Pensick has been dispensing
toys in the West since 1925.
Gordon said the late ordering
meant retail dealers possibly
would have toy shortages as par
ents swept through their stores in
last-minute shopping sprees.
He defends the dealers and ex
plains their caution was based on
the recession in business in gen
eral. However, he also feels thev
did not make allowances lor Ihe
fact that the toy business alwavs
makes a spurt in Dcccm-bcr when
nearly 75 per cent of the toys arc
sold for the year.
There never has been a bad
year in our business," Gordon
adds. "People buy or their kids
whether times are tough or not.
In hard times toy prices are down
and they still buy everything they
possibly can for the kids."
happy home,
Most of this is a lot of nonsense,
says Hugo A. Bourdeau, a Bal
timore marriage counselor, who
writes in the current issue of
Coronet magazine: '
"The modern American woman
is being greatly oversold on the
importance of sex in marriage."
He believes that women all over
the country are developing jitters,
ulcers and nervous breakdowns
trying to live up to the movie
versions of sex appeal.
Actually, says Bourdeau. sex is
only a part of married life an
important part, of course, but not
the whole show. It's important,
too. to raise a healthy, happy fam
ily, lo have a peaceful, well
ordered home and to make a su
perlative apple pic.
Companionship and teamwork,
hoping and building together, are
some of the most t important in
gredients of a happy marriage.
And if you can go through hard
times together and still be friends,
you're a success.
