No Rag Doll For Babies Today -- Kids Want 6-Room Doll House, Television
Washington, Nov. 14—(U.P.)—Grandma used to take a leg out of gramps' overalls, a hank of yarn and make her granddaughter a rag doll for Christmas. She popped some corn, strung same, hung same on a fir cut from the back 40 and maybe put an apple or a few hickory nuts in the stocking.
That was Christmas—and what joy it was! Cost: Little. Times change.

Prices this year are about the same, or perhaps a mite lower than last year. There is an influx of foreign-made toys but most of them cost more than those we make here and, according to the toy people, are of inferior quality.

Audience Finds Recital Pleasant
BY FAYE WILKINSON
A large audience attended the senior recital of Kitty Walter, sojourn Wednesday in Strong auditorium.
Miss Walter gained assurance as the program progressed. At times the high tones were strained and the solist seemed to have trouble with breath control, but generally her quality was pleasant to hear.
the widely-sung aria, "Depuis Le Jour" (Charpentier) had expression and dynamic color. The French songs were also enjoyable, particularly "Le Papillon" (Fourdrain). The audience applauded vigorously Miss Tear's lyrics and the dancers Thee" (Grieg), which was sung in the original Danish; "Vespers" (Fraser-Simson); and "Could My Songs Their Wav Be Winging" (Hahn).
The last number was a group of interesting variations on "Long, Long Ago" (arranged by Sandoval). Miss Walter sang the theme in the styles of Chopin and Strauss.

Ise Speaks On Europe
John Ise, professor of economics, was impressed by the inequality of wealth in part of Europe and the advanced measures of social security in other parts of the continent. He spoke to Alpha Kappa Psi, professional business fraternity, and guests Wednesday about his visit to several European countries the past summer.
"At one restaurant where I ate, wine was cheaper than water," stated Professor Ise. "As an economist I was surprised at how much of the land was devoted to growing grapes for wine when it could have been used for growing food. Over there water has one purpose and that's to run under the bridge."
Professor Ise told of seeing homes in Florence, Italy that would have dwarfed any of the mansions in the U.S. while at the entrance to these homes beggars were asking for food. In Switzerland he saw wealthy hotel owners and manufacturers residing in palatial homes while whole families were doing manual labor in the fields.
