Today they fount the toys they produce in the hundreds of thou l sands and they have a world-wide diatribution system. But in 1B45 their plant was just an idea. But the idea was so food It has been booming their business ever since. Children ought to have toys with a purpose ? something to give them constructive activity. That was the idea. It started with a Christmas shopping trip. The brothers found lots of toy soldiers, guns and tanks. They found some old toys which they had used as children in the attic. Rehabilitated, these made a hit with' modern children. Charles and Fdederick Doepke had been running a small machine shop which had made war goods and they were looking for some thing they could produce. Why not modern replicas of modern ma chinery? Their first product was a model I earih mover. They added other items. In recent years, they have Fire truck with in operating Udder is one of the toys turned out by the Doepket. limited themselves to five at any one time. They drop the less pop ular toys and add others. Now they have an assembly line a quarter mile line. From it come pint-siae machines at the rate of one every half minute.

David Lenayal 404 Arendell Morehead City Britain's Prince Charles and Sister Eagerly Awaiting Santa's Arrival Wotferton, Norfolk, England <AP)? There will be more th?n a little noise it a royal mansion call ed Sandringham house this Christ mat. For prince Charles, husky four-year-old and Princess Anne, Who is two. are at noisy ages. The British royal family will as usual, be at nearby Sandringham far Christmas. Queen "Elizabeth, the duke of Edinburgh, their chil dren, the queen mother Elizabeth and princess Margaret will be there, and relatives and a few friends will be Invited. From a study overlooking a 1 broad terrace the queen will make her Christmas broadcast to the whole of her empire in the after- , noon. It is the room normally used for these Christmas talks by the head of the British nation and com- ! monwealth? The first was made by King George V in 1932 and since then they have been skipped only two years, 1936 and 1938. Net a Recording This Time Always, except once, they have been "live" broadcasts. The talk last year by the ailing George VI, I weak after a lung operation, was a recording, an effort of considerable 1 difficulty in which listeners around ! the world could detect the strains : under which he labored to keep his ! annual appointment with "my peo- j pie." The broadcast by his daugh- ] ter this year will be "live." The fact that the king died since | last Christmas, and that he was at an unusually big Christmas par ty last year, will give older mem bers of the family some melancholy reflections. So more than usual, It will be a festival for the chil dren, and they will be expected to make it a merry day. Prince Charles by now knows all that a child needs to know about Christmas, and Priricess Anne is catching up fast. The queen and the children have arranged to come to Sandringham some days before Christmas, and Prince Charles hoped it would be soon enough so he could be of some help to Jim Brown. It's Jim Brown's business, as head forester on the 7,000-acre Sandringham estate, to pick out, and chop down, and set up just the correct spruce tree. He sets it up in the big ball room of Sandring ham house, and it must be just the right height ? 12' feet ? to allow for the star on top. Then around the tree he sets trestle tables, and j on these are spread the presents for everyone. Jim Brown also drags in a very large log for the fireplace and, as is proper in an English home, the yule log and the glittering tree become twin hearts at the Christmas festival. 150 Rooms: 76 Sertaata Sandringham house is a three storied stone mansion of 150 rooms, many gables, turrets and hundreds of windows. It is out in the coun try. The adjacent village of Sand ringham has a population of only Where's Santa? Prtams Anne and Prince Charles wait about 100. The estate lies in a flat countryside just a few miles from the ftorth sea, and it is a region which can become very cold and desolate. Desolate particular ly are some of the moors where bracken and thickets, rather than trees and farm lands, are features of a somewhat cheerless landscape. With a little luck of weather there might be some snow for the toy sleds which are sure to be among the presents for royal youngsters. There is certainly room to maneu ver them on the spacious lawns.. The moors which on a day of sleet or fog look so dreary are pre cisely the feature of the region which first attracted notice of British kings. The moors made ex cellent breeding grounds for grouse, partridges and pheasants. Both George V and George VI were expert shots, and the last king in troduced the Duke of Edinburgh to the delights of hunting. The duke has become an enthusiast, and | some hunting is sure to be on the ! program of his Christmas season. The birds being bunted at present are partridges, and the estate staff hopes it Has managed to chase out most of the poachers. Bring Home the Bacon! So what the royal family eats in the Christmas season may depend in part on the duke's skill with a shot gun. There will be game, more or less, and turkey is a tra ditional bird. The family travels to Sandring ham some days before Christmas, preceded by about 50 servants of Buckingham palace to augment the royal mansion's permanent staff of a couple of dozen. The real ob servance of Christmas starts on the eve*. In recent years a Salvation army choir from the village of I Dersingham has come over to sere- 1 nade the family with a program of I carols. The singers are invited in | for refreshments. Parcel opening time is after breakfast on Christmas day, and this year, growing children, being about, it is expected to be the noisest moment of the day. Royal Christmas presents usually are sim ple objects, useful or of sentimen tal interest. Such gifts as automo biles, yachts and polo ponies are given on other occasions, although the queen may have a suspicion that she will be getting some jewelry. Church on t he Estate In the forenoon the family goes to the service in the church of St. Mary Magdalene, on the estate grounds, at which villagers and farmers may worship. It was in this little church that the body of King George VI first lay in state, last February. At Sandringham, the chief Christmas meal comes at mid day. At 3 p.m., the queen makes her talk on the world-girding radio net work. She is not afraid of a micro phone. Her voice is high and clear | and she is a lady of unusual poise. After that ? relaxation. Sand ringham becomes a lonely, inacces sable spot in Norfolk. The royal family becomes a private family. Head scarves, mackintoshes and flat heeled shoes for the women, while hunting clothes or most any thing that's comfortable become | the favorite attire of the men. It is the custom to remain in | this semi-retirement well into Jan uary. In the Middle Ages when church men went into battle they often carried warclubs with heavy, some times spiked heads because canoni cal rules denied them the tword as a weapon of bloodshed.
