Tiny Tower

When sailors sew they need a stitch

That's strong as any ropey hitch. . . .

Can you read little words? If you can this is a story for you. Let me see, what would you like it to be about? A cat? Yes, that would make a nice story. Do you have a cat?

Here's a picture of the Puppety Pops!

These fragments are parts of poems, stories, captions printed last week in a new national magazine for children. Tiny Tower, published by Tower Magazines, Inc., is to be sold, like the four other Tower products (Home, Mystery, New Movie, Love) in Woolworth stores for 10-c-. In addition to stories about cats, pictures of Puppety Pops and verses with dangerous rhymes, the first issue of Tiny Tower contained a page of jokes and puzzles, a page of magic tricks, cut-out patterns, innumerable marginal drawings and an advertisement, on the back page, for Royal typewriters. Because Tower executives believe that the children's field contains great possibilities, future issues of Tiny Tower will contain more advertising for moppets.

Editor of Tiny Tower is Bosco Cass, who uses her real name, Edna Cass Noll, only when signing the adult poetry she sometimes writes. She graduated seven years ago from Emerson College, where she gave weekly readings in Boston's Little Children's Theatre. Later Bosco Cass be came a performer in a Shubert musicomedy, a clothes model, a schoolteacher, a reader for a literary agent. Her notions for Tiny Tower she tries out on public school children. When they disapproved of a modernistic Santa Claus on the cover, she substituted an old-fashioned one, teasing a fox-terrier. To the first issue of Tiny Tower Bosco Cass contributed a song called Christmas Stars:

On the night before Christmas way up in the sky

The stars are all blinking as moonbeams sail by. . . .

They like us to notice their gay sparkling light

So look up and thank them for shining so bright.
