HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls. Ore. Thurtday, December 19, 1963 PAGE MA Ml 1? VY HOW TIMES CHANGE! Not so many years ago, it was an electric train under the Christmas tree that brought stars to the eyes of little boys and a yen to their dads to get into the act of shunting the buzzing little cars through snow-covered tunnels, poking fingers into switch boxes and tinkering here and there with odd-looking bolts and screws. Now, this year, it's electric racing cars, zipping at high speed around a figure 8 track. Speed can be regulated to assure the thrill of one winning. Jim Kerns of J. W.

Stuffed bears are passe. This grizzly bear with blinking eyes is battery-powered. He growls at young hunters, turns tail and runs away while being shot at. The bullets are soft rubber suction cups that will not mar furniture. The dubious boy is Delmonty Stolsig, who will be 3 years old Dec. 29. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Delmar Stolsig of 1413 Ivory.

Ill Lf& L CHALLENGING TOY Assembling these classy "chariots" tests the skill of the older youths who are hot-rod minded. They are perfectly scaled miniatures of the big car, featuring filled qrill, custom headlights and brackets, custom rolled and pleated interior, chromed Le Mans Mag wheels, white walls, super-charged engines, and motors that purr. Today's toys for boys and girls, from infants to the 20-year-old, are instructive. Not now does the shiny red car under the Christmas tree leap into action on a tightly wound spring. Today's cars, most of them, operate on gasoline. Discovered these models at the Hobby World, 124 South Ninth Street, where Steve Vroman, 15, KUHS sophomore, was eyeing up the classic 1932 Ford roadster. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Vroman. Red Leaders NEW YORK (UPD-A student of agriculture behind the Iron Curtain reported today that Communist leaders face severe internal discontent unless they mako a wholehearted effort to bolster crop production.

Christmas Means Big Business For Stores Throughout Japan By D. A. FLNCHAM United Press International TOKYO (UPIi It is Christ mastime in Tokyo too and tlie Ginza is as festively decorated and busily thronged as State Street in Chicago or 34th Street in New York. The Japanese love children, crowds and things Western and the result is one of the most elaborate Christmas shop ping seasons anywhere. An added factor is the annual year end bonus, approximately 13 to 20 per cent of the annual wage, given at the end of the year. Besides going to pay off any accumulated debts, the bonus is used for the purchase of year end gifts in accordance with an age-old Japanese custom. Like the American depart ment stores, those in Tokyo do their greatest volume of busi ness during the Christmas sea son, Toys are as big an item as they are in the States. May Operate Toys Every store has a large dem onstration table where the cus tomers are allowed to operate the battery driven toys. Some times the children have trouble getting near the table because so many adults have gathered around. Many of the toys demonstrate the ingenuity of the gigantic Ja panese electronics industry. One example: A battery - pow ered dog that comes when called. Miss Y. Ushiyama, chief of interpreters at Matsuzakaya, one of the largest stores on the Ginza, said her establishment anticipates toy sales during De Court Plan Sells Well The county court's school reor ganization plan is a best-seller and a second printing has been rushed into production. Two hundred copies of t h e plan for reorganization of t h e county's schools were printed up before the presentation of the plan Dec. 10. But the 200 copies have disap peared into the hands of interest ed citizens and another 1,000 copies have been printed. Copies of the plan are avail able for free at the county court and the offices of city and county schools. Hearings on the plan will be held Jan. 6, 7 and 8. MEAT IMPORTS The meat imported into the United States is valued at only about three per cent of the beef and pork produced on American farms.

Mat suzakaya normally employs 1, 500 men and women, and an additional 1.000 work for the dilferent concessions renting floor space from the store. This year they have had to hire an extra 1,000 high school and col lege boys and girls to work as sales girls, slock clerks and gift wrappers. Uchiro Nakamura, customer service manager of the Matsu ya Department Store, says his store's sales for December will be approximately $5.4 million. Since less than one per cent of the Japanese are members of the Christian religion, Naka mura believes the emphasis on Christmas is due to the year end bonuses. "Of course, before the war, Christmas was not as big as it is today," he said. "In those days the emphasis was on the New Year festivities." It still is but Christmas is catching up. Western-style Christmas dec orations are everywhere Christmas tree ornaments, tin sel, colored lights, center dis plays of reindeer, snow-covered trees and Santa Clauses.
