this crucial moment let us
stop and consider! There is
no doubt a perfect gift you

to be exceptional. If you try
to be you win probably make
a mistake. and also spend
more money than you had

Let us go back to the old
fundamentals. ] know that
perfume and cosmetics and
beautifully scented soaps are
not unusual, original gifts,
but they are always accept
able. Also, many women who
love these things feel that
they cannot afford to buy
them as a habit. There is no

luxury and how many lifts
you might give a feminine

BY the ASsocioied Press


HOLLYWOOD. Mar. 30.-A
multimillion dollar deal whereby
Walt Disney will become a pro-
ducing partner of ABC-TV is in
the works.
A spokesman for Mr. Disney

plete the deal.
The spokesman. however, de-
clined to predict what the final
decision would be.
Daily Variety, the movie trade
paper. said Mr.. Disney would
start producing five or six hour
long shows. both live and car
toon, for TV in October. It
added that ABC also will be-
come a partner in the projected

ment park near Anaheim, Calf.
Some of the Disney backlog
Of films also will be made avail
able for TV under terms of the
deal, the Disney spokesman said.
These include both cartoon and
live action films.
Variety said a third partner,
believed to be one Of the coun-
try's largest food packagers, also
is in on the deal, having made
overtures for exclusive sponsor
ship of the Disney TV output.
The pact. If ratified. could be
one Of the most dramatic in TV-
movie relations. Only last Thurs
