NEW YORK.— (NEA) --Santa
Claus, in collaboration with toy
designers and manufacturers, is
getting ready a whole batch of
new and different toys for Christ
mas. It's enough to make any par
ent turn gray just thinking about
it,
In his sack this year are items
that will (a) give kids grown-up
ideas; (b) make lot sos new noises;
and (c) create revolutionary types
of mess around the house. All
this is not calculated to build
peace at home and good-will to
ward Santa.
There is, for example, a new |
game. It is pegged on the idea of‘
inflation. Included is a generous
supply of toy money, with bills
up to and including SIOO,OOO.
After an afternoon playing with
those, a child is apt to sneer at
his allowance.
There are two interesting new
dolls, One has hair that can be
(ged any color, then washed out
“under the bathroom faucet, the
very thing for an impressionable
little girl. Another doll has a
knob on her head. You twist it
and she can put on three facial
expressions, just like a Holly
wood actress.
To wheel the doll around in,
there’s a new carriage upholstered
in fake leopard skin. Reminds
daughter of the fancy car daddy
hasn’t got.
About the noisiest thing on
Santa’s list this season is a new
set for beys who are fascinated
by the radio. It's a sound effects
kit, and can make all kinds of
nice, loud noises.
There are also dozens of nrusi
cal instruments—even a toy zith
er—and a new child-size tape re
corder. Now the kids can mrake
a racket — and play it back an
hour later.
Realism, in toys for girls, has
reached new heights. There is a
toy stove, complete with pots and
pans, that actually cooks with a
tiny heating element. To go with
it is a baking set. It has every
thing needed to turn out different
kinds of cakes and cookies. But it
is very modern—it’s all done with
cake mixes.
After she bakes the cake, the
young cook can clean up with an
other new toy. It has all the
equipment for tidy housekeeping
—dish drainer, soap, mop, garb
age pail, scouring powder — and
all scaled down to size.
There’s a new mechanical toy
kit for boys who can build com
plicated machinery. The box says
it contains ‘“the component me
chanical parts for building work
ing models of basic mechanisms
and machines.” Try that on your
five-year-old on Christmas morn
ing.
Amother delightfully messy
number is a make-up kit which
transforms any boy into a clown,
It has fake noses and hair and
glasses and lots of greasy make
up im colors that will go well on
your wallpaper. In the same
frightening mold is a shoe-shine
kit with real polish.
For economy’s sake, the toy
men have come up with some
double-duty toys. There’s one
rubber doll that conceals a big
rubber ball,
And there's a western costume
outfit. On one side, it's a cow
boy suit., Turn the pants and the
jacket inside and out and put on
\ sother headpiece and it's an In
» dian outfit. Or just turn one part
inside out and the kid can be a
half-breed.

western trend, which has swept
over into playthings for girls, and
the trend toward modern things.
In that category, almost all doll

Mrs. Hugo L. Black
Succumbs; Was
Kin Of Athenians
Relatives and friends in this
section of Mrs. Josephine Foster
Black, wife of Hugo L. Black, As
sociate Justice of the U. 8,
Supreme Court, were distressed to
learn of her recent death at her
home in Washington, D. C. Mrs.
Black had a large family connec~
tion in this section, her grand
father Fosier having married Vir
ginia Heard, of Wilkes county.
She had visited in Athens on
various occasions and was greatly
admired by those who knew her.
Among her Athens relatives are
Mrs. Harvey Stovall, Mrs. Fred B.
Lynch, Mrs, M. P. Broughton,
Mrs. Earl B. Braswell, Mrs, Mar-~
garet Harris Blair and Mrs. Mary
Anne Braswell Cushman,
The New York Times, in record
ing the death and funeral of Mrs.
Black, carried the following dis
patch from Washington:
WASHINGTON, Dec, 10 — Mrs.
Harry S. Truman and many other
figures in Washington's official
and social life attended a funeral
service this afternoon for Mrs.
Hugo L. Black, wife of the senior
Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court.
Eulogy by Chief Justice
A brief session of the Court was |
confined to a eulogy delivered by
Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson in
memory of Mrs, Black, whose
body was buried in Arlington Na
tional Cemetery after rites in All
Souls Unitarian Church.
“She combined the friendliness
and warmth of the South with the
stern discipline of the Scottish
Presbyterian faith,” said Chief
Justice Vinson from the bench.
“She carried herself with dignity
and brought to Washington a tol
erance and understanding that
made her universally beloved. She
walked as a lady in the most ele
gant of drawing rooms and in the
most humble of homes.” |
Although Mrs. Black’s “consum
ing interest” was her family, shel
found time for many diverse ac
tivities outside her home, the Chief
Justice added. |
“As a Gray Lady during the war
years,” he continued, “she brought
comfort to the sick and wounded.
In community causes, she was al
ways found aiding the underprivi=-
leged. The oppressed of all races
and religions knew her instine
tively as a friend. Yet in spite of
her wide interests and activities,
she found time in recent years to
develop her talents as a painter.
Her works of art are receiving
wider and wider recognition and
reaching an ever-increasing audi
ence.”
The justices of the Court, with
their families, attended .the serv
ice, which was conducted by the
Rev. E. Powell Davis. Although
this was the customary decision
‘day, the Supreme Court transacted
' no business, but adjourned in trib
‘ute to Mrs. Black.
| Varied Activities
~ The day that Mrs. Black died,
the Times carried a picture of her,
and an article recounting her
career, as follows:
Born in Memphis, Tenn., Mrs.
Black was the daughter of Dr.
t Sterling J. Foster and the late Ann
Patterson Foster of Birmingham,
%Ala. She attended Sweet Briar
Academy and later studied at Co
lumbia University. She was mar
ried to Justice Black in Birming
ham on Feb. 23, 1921.
| Well known in amateur art eir
' cles, Mrs. Black was named grand
prize winner recently in an annual
«Famous Amateurs” art exhibition
conducted here. In the show were
works of high Government offi
cials and their families.
Besides her husband, Mrs. Black
leaves her father, now in Char
lotte, N. C.; a daughter, Martha
Josephine Black, a student -at
Swarthmore College; two sons,
Hugo L. Black, jr., an attorney in
Birmingham, and Sterling Foster
Black, an employe of the Atomic
Energy Commission in Albuquer
que, N. M.; a sister, Mrs. Clifford
Durr of Montgomery, Ala,, and a
brother, Sterling Foster, jr., of
Charlotte.
Served as Yeomanette
Mrs. Black served as a yeoman
ette in Naval Intelligence during
the first World War, relinquishing
an opportunity ,to complete her
studies at Sweet Briar in orcer to
join them.
After her husband was appoint
ed to the Supreme Court, she took
up her interrupted studies, making
a specialty of constitutional his
tory. “I don’t want to be an ex
pert on the Constitution,” she said.
41 just want to be able to follow
more closely the work of the Su
preme Court.”

it, included the reading of War

éca DOG TALES
Y i Yemie s
Tfll problem of worming probably
confuses more dog owners than
any other phase of canine eare.
Some owners think pups should be
wormed every couple of weeks for
months on end and many dogs suf
fering from distemper or some other
malady get wormed instead of hav
ing the treatment they really need.
To complicate the pleture, there
are four types of worms commonly
found in dogs, and the remedies for
them are not all the same. And,
although an amateur shouldn't try
to treat worm-infected dogs, it will
help the dog and the veterinariam
it he has some knowledge of what
various worms look like and how
they operate,
Round worms are most common.
They are round, white, pointed on
one end, and may be as much as
five inches long. Some of their
symptoms are:* a hacking éough
(caused when the worms make their
way into the dog’'s lungs); pale,
pink gums; fussy appetite; and
bloating after eating. Some pups
inherit round worms from their
mothers. In kennels all pups are
usually given a precautionary
worming for round worms after
they are weaned, and maybe once
or twice later, i{f necessary.
Hook worms are tiny leeches
which fasten themselves to the
dog's intestinal lining and live on
his blood. Their symptoms are simi
lar to those of round worms, and,
in addition, there may be blood in
the dog's stool. Hook worms enter
the dog through his mouth or by
boring through his skin.
Tape worms seem to show up
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1051,
A eonfession introduced at his
trial said he fired a shot st a ne
gro man with whom he had bheen
having trouble, but hit the woman
instead.
Prison officlals sald he went to
his death without making a state
ment,
most often in aduit dogs. Fleas may
spread them; so may m"
tape worm sis flat and M]
15 inch long and % inch wide. The|
symptoms may be variable sppetite
and unusual behavior in xunl.‘;
Whip worms are em and|
thread-like, usually no more than
one inch long. They bring on diar.|
rhea, fits, skin {rritations, and flue.!
tuations in appetite. They enter the|
dog’'s body as eggs, and sfter sev.
eral weeks’ Ineubation, emerge as!
worms which attach themselves to
the walls of. the stomach.
One way the owner can help pre.
vent worms in a dog is to provide
him with clean quarters. If his run
has been used before, go ower the:
ground with a blowtorch to kil
any larvae that may remain, Bm'uhl
the kennel often with strong soap!
and water. Go easy on chemical dis
infectants; they may make the dog|
ill. Another vital safeguard agains
the damage worms may {inflict on
a dog's health is proper feeding.
A completely balanced diet, such asl
{s available in any of the better
grades of canned dog food, will help|
prevent an unsuspected worm {in,
section from lowering the dog's re«
sistance to where serious diseases
may set in.
Finally—it you think your dog
has worms, have him examined by
a veterinarian. If worming is nece
essary, the veterinariam should do
it, or at least preseribe the dose.
Any worm medicine t 8 & poison,
and if used haphasardly #t can seris
ously injure the dog or perhaps kil¥
him. 5
