Many Toys Featured

At Children’s Museum

ITs PLAYTIME at the Children's Museum. Newly arranged are special cases featuring “Toys of Many

Lands.”

Included are primitive Eskimo and Indian toys,

Early American, European, South American and Oriental

playthings. «The exhibit is designed particularly for primary pupils who come by bus to the museum during school hours. Originally planned for a month, jit is booked by visiting school groups through this: semester. Just uncrated from Italy are wood carvings in Lewis Carroll’s famous Alice in Wonderland characters, which bring a smile to adults as well as the youngsters. Quite properly the

White Rabbit carries his back-

ward Himepiece.

n HOWEVER, * there's more than “just looking” to the displays, according to Mrs. Grace Golden, museum director. In Lilliputian fashion they tell a story of social customs of people ‘round the world. “Where people live determine how they live,” she says. “Just as our toys reflect our customs so do the toys of other lands.” For instance, youthful observers learn from a toy Polish samovar how water is kept boiled for tea which Poles drink because their water is unsanitary.

imals are licensed. A limit is placed on.the load they pull. In keeping with the season is a wooden Dutch rooster board used for* pastry designs particularly at Easter. "Ths British exhibit features London's renowned Savoy Theater in miniature.

abroad. She was delighted they"

were to be in Indiana for her great-grandfather settled,in the Swiss settlement at Vevay. The natural straw, trimmed in white grapes, represents the traditional Lucerne canton hat. It has the pole-like crown, an exact copy of those worn during the festival season. A set of 18 wooden. dolls

Norways Guild Committee Boosts the Patient Morale

IN ORWAYS Foundation Hospital visitors might wonder what the attractive woman in a turquoise uniform is

doing in the corridor with a basket filled with personal

items on her arm. , A grateful patient (though he has no- personal contact with her) and hospital staff could tell them. She's a member of Norways Guild’s -.commissary committee, ohe of the most effective morale building groups connected with the hospital, delivering patient

orders to.nurses. ' »

& 4 #8 SINCE April of last year, un-

‘der Mrs. Harry Mallinson’s lead-" . ership, this small but mighty

task force has operated a licensed store. in the main building. Stock in trade of these “husiness girls” includes the many personal articles a patient may have forgotten to pack. or runs out of during his Norways stay. They are the little important things that raise spirits. More than 60 items are reg-

ularly stocked. Among them

are combs, bobbie pin¥ .cosmetics, ink, stationery, kleenex, shampoo, soap, toothpaste “and brushes as well as candy, cigarets and chewing gum.

and delivers the articles to a nurse in the unit who takes it back to the patient. Items delivered are charged to the patient's bill.

It’s a real job to keep stock replenished the store has become so popular. Some requests take’ the volunteers far afield. One committee member’ walked more than four blocks in the snow this winter to pick up a certain magazine a patient wanted. But volunteers always bring back the goods even to lipstick that matches a patient’s special nail polish or an unusual stamp for a philatelist. It's all done cheerfully with never a thought for a personal thank you from those the committee is helping work out emotional problems. .

DOUBLE MEDIUM—Miss Ann Wagner, active both in television and radio here, applies records far her disc jockey show.

Local TV Headliner

Sang Way to Fame

By JEAN SPICKLEMIRE ANN WAGNER . .. Our Fair City's Miss TV. One of

WFBM's veteran video performers, young and pretty

Ann has carved a double career for herself to boot. She's -

as active on radio as she is on the television screen.

Her first TV break came when WFBM officials remembered her performance in an experimental show, ‘Circle B Ragch.” B8he waa asked to appear for a vocal tryout, suc-, ceeded and became the first local girl singer on TV.

Happy to have “made” the ground floor of television, Ann worked hard, always was avalilable for shorts, fill-ins. ” » ” LAST NOVEMBER she became a staff announcer. Just recently she began her newest

job, singing commercials on the “Test the Press” weekly telecast,

During her 8 a. m, to 5 p. m. week-day schedule are three regular Shows. One, “Kitchen of the Air,” is an early mdrning radio program. “Play or Pay” is a hoon audience participation TV show, and ‘Make Mine Music” a long afternoon radio disc jockey program. Monday nights she- has a late singing show on video. She hopes to speak more and more commercials, continue her emeeeing and singing. = nw

THE TALL, BROWN-EYED" blonde has a solid background behind her rise to fame. A

Vincennes native, her first job was on Louisville's WHAS, the result of winning a voice con-

" test. She sang in the after-

noons, attended the University of Louisville in the mornings.

When her contract ended, she returned back home to WAOV. There. she did everything, wrote spots, sang. After a year, she auditioned with a local band, became its vocalist. Next there was a five-year

stint with WIBC as music lbrarian, disc jockey. ; Although she'd never recome mend her former 7 a. m. to il1:30 p. m. body, she's certain it's the only way to gain experience. Her other success tips to would-be airways performers: Be your

self and work onfyour memory, - “It's a good idea to have as *

wide a repertoire of songs as possible, They'll stand you in good stead when you'rs needed for a substitution, Learn backgrounds, too. Audiences like to know who wrote a tune and why,” she advises, “If you begin by being nats ural, you'll never have to dis appoint your listeners.”

” ” - THERE'S MANY a trick to making up for TV. Heavy make-up is necessary only for close-ups, she says, since shiny noses are tabu. She chooses very dark lipstick—green or brown-toned. It reproduces on the screen better than light shades. Ann sticks to very tailored clothes, simple: and not toe

showy, for her video performs ¢

ances. Basic things are best when you're demonstrating ads verfising products, she believes, White, black. and red are colors the camera shuns. The pastels, greens, grays and pure ples photograph better, When she wears A black gown, jews elry, a contrasting scarf or cole lar and low necklines help to conceal its defects. Away from the camera, Ann does just what you might exe pect of Miss TV. Clad in somes “thing comfortable, she watches other video ‘performers go through their paces.
