WHERE THE MONKS MADE
BOOKS

More than 200 children in St Mihicl,
France. have found q new delight in
life. These girls and boys are are
patrons of the Junior American Red
Cross library of $50 volumes of his
tory, adventure and fairy tales that
has just been opened under the direct
ion of a representative of the Red
Cross. During the entire German o.
cupation Of st. Mihici these children
were permitted but one day week in
school, and you can imagine their
pleasure IN these free books selected
for them with so much care.
The building in which the little
library is located was originally a
monastery and large church still
remains in one corner Of the structure
overlooking The old cloisters where the
monks worked centuries ago creating
a library which used to be one Of the
treasures OF the city. So wonderful
was the collection Of books that the
