G yest comment Don't buy war toys Many Parents abhor war toys — but they buy them for their children, simply because they are often the most inter- esting toys available. War toys are not going to make a killer out of a child, but they do instill an acceptance of the inevitability of war, an acceptance which lasts into adult life. in other words, war toys are a marvellous propaganda instrument. As the United States commitment in Vietnam has solidifier into a state of war during the last three years, imaginative intricate and interesting war toys have been introduced, Now there are GI Joe dolls, which can be fitted with Marine, fighter pilot, ski troop and skin diving uniforms. There are combat sets with simulated hand grenades, helmets, camouflage nets and shells. bazooka guns which shoot large plastic How can a child resist the inventive appeal of playing with toys like this? The GI Joe doll could be turned irito a less military figure by providing airline pilot uniforms, skin diving equipment, astronaut clothing, skiing togs, or moun- tain climbing outfits. The combat set could become an astronaut set with three much more Propaganda stage rocket, clothing, similar to the paraphernalia used in moon shots, instrument panel, space The only way to counteract war toy is for the consumer public to boycott any kind of violent toy — and encourage manufacturers ta produce just as interesting toys whose emphasis is not military, Churches’ service clubs helps - _Their Christmas dinner . neat ete ress ata we cde eater b * atin of pork and beans By RUTH HALLOCK Planning your Christmas din- ner?

By Frank Howard ; December 7th, 1967 Parker Bros,, the firm which developed the game ‘Monopoly’, is now promoting a couple of other games, One is called ‘Clues’ and the other ‘Careers’, Some of the activities in Par- liament make me believe that still another Parker Bros, game could be developed, It could be called ‘Fish’ or ‘Pass-the- Buck’, In this game five player's would be required. By drawing one of five cards a player would aiscover whether he could play one of the following five roles: Minister of Fisheries, Minister of Labour, Minister of Manpower and Immigration, and opposition M.P., or a herring fisherman. . * * . This isn’t an ordinary game where the rules of chance apply, There are two sets of dice, one of them loaded, The loaded dice are used by those players who are the- three Cabinet Mini- sters, The herring fisherman can only rest on a space called, ‘unems ployed’, If he lands on any other space he goes directly to ‘out of work’, He does not He does not cole “The opposition M:'P,-car only rest on a space called, ‘ask a question’. T he lands on any other space he can draw a card from a pile labelled ‘wait until to-morrow’. All cards are the same and entitlethe holder there.» of to miss his opportunity to ask & question. Each of » fee Cabinet Mini sters can rest on any space on which they land, ‘about the West Coast herring Hf such a be played no more until the next player lands ona space called ‘unemployed’ or ‘ask a ques- tion’ he can draw a card from a pile labelled ‘pass the buck’; All these cards are the same and entitle the holder thereof to say that he will take the inat- ter of the Pacific Coast herring closure up with his colleague. He-can choose any of the other two Ministers as his colleague, However, only two such states ments can be made with the third Minister having the choice of either answering or missing the turn of the dice. Here is an example of how the game would work {npractice, The Minister of Labour could say that he was going to take up the matter of the West Coast herring closure. withthe Minister of Fisheries, .° When: it came the Minister of Fisheries turn to play he could say that he was going to take tp the matter of the West Coast herring closure withthe Minister of Manpower and Immigration, The Minister of Manpower and Immigration would have the choice of missing his tirn until the next throw of the dice or could say that his Department is doing everything it can, Whichever decision the Mini- ster of ,Manjower and ‘Immi-|7 gration .makes the play automat. ically passes" to the herring fiskerman, remembering of course, that he can only rest on a space called, ‘unemployed’, The object of the game is to discover which of the Ministers has (a) the responsibility and (b) the desire, to do anything closure, [If the game. is not concluded by January 7th i can herring closure takes’ place, If this game were mine to give I wouldn’t charge any royalties to Parker Bros.
