As you find your way, unerringly if you are accompanied by child, lnto the toy department, your first impression is one of color and mo- tion. Not the raw stark reds and blues of former days, but lovely harmonious blends that c1ll forth C-,c.amations of inoredulous ad- Il.raticn. What child could help bGs grow up with a fully developed esthetic sense surrounded by toys such as these? Ana the mechanical motions. The crude, uneven action of the days when you and I wound Up our toys are over. Perfect ac- ton, as smooth as daddy's powerful eight cylinder car impel the latest marvels.
 Toyland Grows Up
 Toyland has grown up in sense yet, if you will observe closely, t has not lost it's spontaneous in- terest for children. The toys are perfect but they are not blasa. Our children have come to expect replicas, realities but not vulgari- ties, or grossness. Gone are the frightening toys-even the Jacks ,n-the-box thrill without soaring.
 AS you investigate more closely the ingenuity of toy makers be- comes apparent. They have really got inside child's mind. That you can tell by the pleased hap piness on the childrens faces as they watch in fascinated sur prise. They have actually complete ly satisfied that yearning which we have come to accept as in- satiable childish curiosity.
 Wonder of Wonders
 These are a few of the unbeliev- able wonders:

 We have almost become used to electric trains which model after famous real engines-but this veal is featured an engine ana tender a yard long which can start, step, change speed and reverse from a distant position - remote control they call it
 Doll Houses. Do you remember but never mind there just hasn't been anything similar Doll houses made of heavy corrugated board which can be taken apart and put together. They are large enough for a good sized child to get into

 For the Little Builders
 The field of construction toys, such as the well known steel and stone sets have surpassed them selves. A boy who plays with these late developments will never buy poorly constructed home or auto mobile when he grows up.
 The practical side of beautiful and wonderful toys is the training of hand and mind
 The finished workmanship dis played in the toy departments cannot help but inspire our youth with a real appreciation for good job well done. And habits of carefulness encouraged by the many make it yourself kits are valuable assets.
 While the toys displayed inspire one to rhapsodize-a glance at the price tags brings encouragement, tco, for this year these oy-wonders are offered at prices that should click with the smallest gift budget.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. i've
workers of the johnson and john

5 per cent wage cut, the third since
the beginning of the year. On top
OF this we were given ten days off,
the wage cut to go into effect as soon
as we go back to work (next Mon
day. We are only WORTH c'~'-4
hours a Gay now instead of 9, but
We have to do same amount of work
as before. 1t has been a continuous
speed up, efficiency experts" go
from one department to another,
Speeding up the work to such an ex-
tent, that the workers are beginning
to revolt, and are beginning to take
seriously the various leaflets that are
being distributed in front of the fac
tory, under the auspices of the Trade
Union Unity League.
The older workers, some who have
given twenty years of their life to the
company, are being transferred to
harder work and if they cannot keep
up with the speed up they are fired
and, younger workers are hired to take
their place at lower wages.
Z The bosses of Johnson and johnson
try to tell us that the reason they
are giving this wage cut is because
they are losing money. This is true
as the workers in the plant know,
how the bosses are losing money.
tft,tuey know that Robert Johnson lost
$4,000 in the last few months yacht
racing; last year the same parasite
lost 100000 gambling,
While the bosses revel in luxuries

millions in gambling. While with us
it is question Of bread and shelter.

cuts and starvation, for the bosses
