MacKay Smith, past- the Citizen's commit- 'hildren, and script writer development films, spoke "Principles of Good Play Tools, Recommended for the Young Teens" at of toys sponsor- Young Teens" at a demonstration of toys by the Canadian Branch the CAC in Eaton Auditorium, Toronto. Mrs. Uriah jones, Osh-- awa president, was present at the meeting. ".. A wide range of manufactured toys as well as those that could be made at home were discussed and were on display. With Christ- mas just around the corner, timely advice was given on how to get the best play value for the dollar spent on toys. 4 "Parents buy toys that are fragile, breakable, expensive and have little play value. As he gets older the child enters the box top trade. He cajoles his mother into sending away for things he isn't interested in. The box-top trade is now considering educational toys. "If a toy does not prove suitable the mother blames the toy or the child, but never herself for choosing the wrong toy. Children feel bored at times, as adults do, A child will hurl a toy across the room when he is bored by it. Too many small toys are frustrat-- ing even to a child of four. Deeply disturbed children can tell troubles through painting, playing house. Little girls work off their resentment on their dolls by spanking them. Mrs. MacKay -- Smith advised against giving expensive toys and then expecting the child to be careful of them. Children should not have to worry over their play- s. Do not give expensive toys to children of seven years and younger. Iron Tablecloths This Easier Way Holidays mean parties, a time for family gatherings, time to get out your best linens to give a festive air to your table. If you've been reluctant to use your long tablecloths because washing and ironing them always has been a cumbersome, irritating chore, here are some helpful hints which will make pressing much easier: When ironifig a long tablecloth sit down to the task, using an ad- Justable ironing board. Place a cart or table on the other side of the board to take the "overflow'" and elf 8% rts 4 gee keep your tablecloth off the floor. | A cord holder will keep the iron cord well out of the way. Linen be ironed damp until dry, wrong side first, then right. To help keep your tablecoth free of wrinkles and creases, roll it in a tube -- mailing tubes or tubes on which fabric or rugs have been rolled will solve the froblem nice- ly. Then wrap cloth in dark tissue paper to keep linens from yellow- ing, and label for easy identifica- on. Every Canadian has a direct in- 'terst in the woodlands. and also. The speaker said that there were 30 manufactureres of toys in Ca- nada and that they were anxious to make toys that would prove satisfactory. The CAC toy-testing committee tests toys one at a time and recommends to the man- ufacturers what they find best. Mrs. MacKay-Smith gave a few suggestions: . When buying toys consider the age, capabilities, and interests of the child. Better to underestimate the child than to buy toys too advanced for him which will probably be destroyed. Buy to stimulate the imagination. Give children blank paper, pencil, brush and colors, rather than pictures to color. Do not buy everything in the toy department. Rather than buy a set of small useless tools in the toy department, buy small size regular tools in a hardware store. Mrs. A. L. Kassirer, research director of toys and play equip- ment for the Citizens' Committee on Children, emphasised that toys for the infant must be safe, i.e., hahl non-chippable and of a size and shape not to hurt the baby's mouth. She recommneded floating toys with no loose parts for the bath. Soft dolls, teddy bears, all washable, and wooden trains are useful at the creepin stage. The creeper will like pus and pull toys, and the tiny tot-- large toys. A doll's clothing should real salte is better than masonite. easily. If these cannot be bought they should be made at home. Give children large pieces of plasticine of one color to work with until aged seven when they can work with several colors. Some suggestions for play things: Use large pieces of wali- paper to draw on. Use boards sawn into different lenghts as building blocks (they n not be painted or varnished as they look more like lumber,, unfinished). Use old magazines and kindergarten scissors for cut-outs. Give the child a black-board and chalk. A real slate is better than masonite. Good dolls are now on the market everywhere with faces{ arms and legs that do not chip. Science sets and printing sets are good for older children, also sewing kits for girls, but do not give these too soon. If too difficult they will prove frustrating.

Is TV going to se are questions as hot in the movie capital as burn- ing celluloid. Here, a veteran of almost 25 years on the Hollywood scene for Associated Press looks at the old days, at today, and tomorrow. By Aubbard Keavy HOLLYWOOD (AP)--Cary Grant once put it this way: Hollywood is like a crowded street-car. You catch onto the back step and ride a little way. Then as someone up front gets off, move forward a little. As mo! get off, you move up to a good seat." The street-car named Hollywood has shrunk to a one-man trolley, which is another way of saying that fewer pictures are being made. is means fewer stars and fewer fortunes. In their early days movies at- tracted a roisterous bunch of clowns who made Hollywood the screwball capital of the world. What would Teparded as bad behavior elsewhere became the ex- pected in Hollywood. I haven't made up my d tractive or it is just that such attractive people are sinners. Take your pick, STARS INDIVIDUALISTS Most stars, being individualists, always have lived in a way that seems to make life here a dream- like existence.

We'd be disappointed if they stepped out of character. Much of Hollywood, both off the screen and on it, is not what it appears. But don't get the idea that the town is populated entirely by characters. There are many substantial citizens who live quietly in the same houses with the same wives year after year. 'No such story as this would be complete unless a fairly obvious question is answered: is Hollywood growing up? Technically, it is near perfection, although still better ways will be found to project films. BACK TO KNUCKLES? Artistically, it is better than ever. Fewer pictures will mean better pletures with the accent on stories because second-rate stuff has no market. Morally, it is not so bad as it once was.
