He received so many toys he hardly knew which to try first. He beat the drum, tossed a large ball back and forth and marched a wooded soldier up and down the floor. Tommy played so long and so hard he becafne tired and fell asleep. While sleeping he had a strange dream that the toys became very big and played with him as if he were a toy. The drums gave him a beating. The ball tossed him up in the air many times. And the wooden soldier marched him up and down the floor until he became too tired to move. That’s when Tommy woke up. And there were all the toys just where he had left them. The smiling lad picked up each toy and carefully put it away In the toy box. You can have these toys if you just paste down the picture on cardboard and color with crayons. Cut out around the edges and fold forward on the dotted lines. Then the picture will stand up and you can see how the wooden soldier forced Tommy to march while the other toys watched. (The winner of the $lO award for this idea Is Martha Schaaf of Hopewell, Va.

Dec. 25 (/P).—A "bring back the truth” campaign! is under way in Poland’s schools. Old textbooks, instruments of political indoctrination, are being thrown on the rubbish heap. Children are learning for the first time of the part played by their countrymen who fought with the Western armies and non - communist resistance groups in World War 11. I The changes are part of Po land's "democratization.” | After January 1 Russian lan guage study will be optional, on equal terms with English, French and German. It has been obliga itory from the fifth grade of jelementary school and through out high school. | A look at the English primer formerly used in the second year ;of high school shows the Russian influence over Polish education. ;This book was printed in Mos cow in 1954, and all its explana tory notes are in Russian. ‘Modesty’ First Chapter Its first chapter is entitled’ “Modesty—by J. Stalin.” Other chapters are drawn from such assorted sources as the English Victorian novelists, speeches by "peace fighters,” manifestos of the British Com munist Party and essays of Mark Twain. The exercises include these sentences for translation into Russian: “Thousands of capital ists. large and small, go bankrupt in the United States every year and their workers are turned off "The rank and file American worker does not agree with the imperialist policy of the Ameri can Government.” This book has now been scrapped. Others like it are go ing the same way as fast as the Education Ministry and publish ing houses can replace them. History Most Affected History appears to be the sub ject most affected. History for merly was taught from the works of Soviet authors. Trybuna Ludu, j organ of the Polish United Work-1 ers (Communist) Party, says children now are hearing of the part played by the Poles in the Battle of Britain, the North Af rican campaign and the bloody struggle at Monte Cassino. The new books tell, too, of the AK (the home army) and the “peasant battalions”—non-Com-1 munist resistance groups which battled the Germans inside Po •; —fflfrgrg to Ding—. fiU f |,,k V#rily Hi* finoit food Ula IrIUD any wh*r* Enjoy ,1 at j B-.1... l you (it*.
