'The Dead sea of want Is enlarging its
borders in every populous center. The raut-
terfngs OF angry discomfort grow more
ominous with each succeeding year." With
that declaration as a text, Mr.. Flower
opens up discussion of the intensely in

man should participate. Mr. Flower has
watched closely several phases of the 60

conclusions there will be differences of
opinion. but there is no questioning the au-
tnors sincerity. The book is worth read
Ing and will repay study.
