Girls Want Lavish Wardrobe For Dolls ♦ By GAY PAULEY UPI Women’s Editor NEW YORK (UPl).—Once upon a time, say about 10 years ago, a small girl was delighted®!! she got a new doll. Today, she wants the doll—and a wardrobe to go with it that is more extensive than most of us grownup females own. Creating fashion wardrobes for dolls is the toy industry’s latest move toward adding millions to its income. If you sell one million costumes for one doll, as one maker has done, with each costume retailing from around $1 on up to $5, you get what I mean. Now, several toy makers are offering wardrobe dolls and you

TOP AWARD (Continued from Page One) some 26 formal rehearsals, and other informal rehearsals. Beard Growing The booklet presented to the state committee showed such planned promotions as the Jaycees growing beards and mustaches, painting and displaying an automobile, and wide-spread newspaper, radio, T.V. nad poster publicity. In all, according to the brochure, some 15,000 to 20,000 man hours were used by the entire cast to present the show, which was created, organized, and presented solely by the Jaycees. ■Wayne Roahrig served as general chairman, with Ron Gerber as assistant general chairman and in charge of acounting. Ted Hill was in charge of tickets; Ralph Biggs, sets; Roger Gentis, advertising: Bill Snyder, auditions; Dave McLean, photography; Bob Shraluka, publicity; and Richard J. Sullivan, attorney for tjie organization. Nearly every member of the Junior Chamber participated in the arranging and handling of the show, with many working in several categories. Acording to the report submitted by the Jaycees, "community response was tremendous,” and the “show was the talk of the town.” Two Students From County Are Elected MUNCIE, Tad. — Janice Yoder, Berne, and Moser, Geneva, are newly elected officers at Ball State Teachers College for the 1963-64 academic year. Miss Yoder, sophomore, is representing women off campus in the student senate. She is the daughter of Roger Yoder, R. R. 1, Yoder, and is a graduate of Wabash township school. Moser, junior, is vice president of the student center governing board. A son of Richard D. Moser, Geneva, he is a graduate of Wabash township school. can buy a Barbie. Tammy, Gigi, Trudy, Marcie and Vicky. Now, also, whole families of dolls are coming to market, not only with wardrobes but with such accessories as ranch houses and sports cars. r " The idea: Give a doll and say one costume at the start Add as you wish through the months and the years ahead. Currently one of my two nieces, at 9 years, is hinting at a wedding costume for her Barbie. She already owns 15 Barbie outfits. The other niece, at 5, just wants a costume doll. She’ll worry about acquiring its wardrobe through succeeding birthdays and Christmases. Why this popularity of the wardrobe doll? “I believe it’s because little girls are more fashion conscious than they used to be,” said Mrs. Addy Reilly, coordinator of all doll wardrobes for the Ideal Toy Corp., New York. “And the play value lasts as new wardrobes are added.”

Change Positions Os Parking Meters Approximately 35 parking meters will be switched from positions close to the curb to more remote positions on Thursday afternoon, thus preventing frequent resetting, James Cochran, meter policeman, said today. The new posts havb already been set in concrete by Phil Sauer, and they are far enough back from the curb that autos parking vertically cannot hit them. Between 70 to 100 posts have been knocked out each year because they were so close to the parking space, Cochran explained. In fact, he has reset 36 of them since Jan. 1. The posts are now being set in concrete about two feet deep, rather than just screwed into a short base. A straightening machine, that re-bends bent poles, is already in use, — _ Posts on the north side of the courthouse, where there is also vertide parking on one side, cannot be reset because the walk by the court house is too narrow.

To Charter NFO Chapter Thursday The National Partners Organization will charter an Adams county chapter af'B'p.m. Thursday at the Adams Central school, it was announced today. The NFO stands for farmers taking collective action to do something about low prices for what they sell, and high prices for what they buy. They do not believe necessarily in government aid, nor do they beliece that “everything will be all right if the government will just get out of agriculture.” They believe that some type of action, and perhaps a combination action, on the part of the farmers first and possibly government also will be needed. The NFO is not happy over the grain-hog price squeeze, and the low return which the farmer gets for his investment of capital and time and energy. At the meeting Thursday they will elect a president, treasurer, secretary and vice-president, as well as three directors, following the charter presentation. The national organization, which is now organized in most Indiana countries, and is quite strong in the south, in Wells county, and in Jay county, as well as in neighboring Ohio countries, is quite proud of its organizational leadership so far in Adams county, they have stated, and want it known that all farmers, whether members or not, are invited to attend the meeting Thursday. Marshall Funeral Services Thursday Funeral services for Mrs. Margaret Marshall, who died Sunday at Orange Park, Fla., will be held at 2 p. m. Thursday at the Winter-egg-Linn funeral home. The Rev. A.
