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. Kerns Co. on South Sixth Street ayes up the 1963 toy that will delight both
Pop and Junior.

This is a High Gear Game by Mattel, a company that has
experienced a meteoric rise to popularity in four years.
Once upon a time, youngsters were delighted with a
stocking stuffer, a clown that needed two beebee shots
rolled into the eye sockets to make his face complete.

WILL HE BITE? 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. He was shopping in Sears big toy department where he
passed up Bugs Bunny, Horse Feathers Puppets and a Mouse Trap Game for this
Pop-A-Bear.

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

Communist leaders face severe
internal discontent unless they
mako a wholehearted effort to

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.

cember to amount to over J160,
000. Like U.S. stores, those on the
Ginza must take on extra help
during the Christmas rush. 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.
