& EVEN SANTA CLAUS HAS HIS BAG OF DO-IT-YOURSELF EQUIPMENT

By JiROMI DRIVER > Written BapectaUy for Central Press and Thia newspaper. EVER ONE to keep up with : trends, Santa Claus has recog- j nixed the "do-it-yourself” crane. It la evidenced this Yuletide in his S9OO million bag of toys destined for the nation's 46 million youngsters. Since practicability is the key- I note this year, U. S. children will have the opportunity to vie with Mom and Pop In home maintenance, cooking and home beautify- < *ng projects. This practical trend will score equally high for fun and educational value, according to Melvin Freud, president of the Toy Guidance council, a group of child guidance authorities who select and test toys for safety and play suitability and then pass on their findings to shoppers ?

In this group are plastic break-re-sistant clarinets, trombones, saxophones, glockenspiels and threefoot tubas, all featuring true tone. Electronics enter the junior music field in the shape of a two-octave keyboard that duplicates the sound of an organ—without wires of plug-in. All that is required is an AM radio in the same room.

A survey indicates the three most popular finishes are the weatherbeaten or driftwood look, the natural wood look or antique patina that lets the grain show. One of the Jstest tricks is to ; wipe .a bit of paint wood to pick up a color in the picture it frames'. '
