there are no new Developments
he continued, "the committee still
has the problem in hand and pos
sibilities for camping facilities this
year are not being overlooked"
Piper said that the ST Antoine
Boys Committee feels that the boys
should be integrated into the pro-
gram for Camp Ohiesa on the basis
Of l-10th ration. "ln this manner"
Piper said. I'VE would be able to
get about 20 boys in at each period"
According to Piper. several of
the Boys Work secretaries Of the
city have recommended that such
a program be worked out and has
signified their willingness to cut
their quotoes in order TO allow boys
from st. Antoine TO attend. These
recommendation are based upon
the fact that in as much as these
same boys go TO school together and
work together in many instances,
there can be no real reason why
they should not share Y.M.C.A.

GOOD READING FOR THE WEEK

very obviously based ON Huey
Longs brief career. 1t is told by
Tyler Spotswood, the older brother
of the hero of Adventurer of A
Young Man. The books are both
expertly written and impressive.
Thomas Wolfe is favorite of
many men. His Letters To His
Mother, Julia Elizabeth Wolfe,
edited by John Skally Terry, is a
gem to Wolfe fans. These letters
cover more than thirty years from
1909 to 1888, and they are very
carefully and sympathetically edited
by Wolfe's best friend.
Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath is
still popular. It is an earthly book,
raw and terrible, but significant if,
the fact that it presents one angle OF
a huge sociological pattern in our
country.
Van Wyck Mason's books are al
ways good. Rivers of Glory has the
same grandeur of sweep that his
other historical novel possess. Ii
is an absorbing story, swift and vio-
lent in action.
Harry Allen Smiths Low Man On
A Totem Pole is in demand. The
memories of young journalist who
arrived in New York to work is

with celebrities and others are in

and local events 1t is literally

For your vacation reading, IL
might be a good idea to get familiar
with the type of books the men III

brarians have compiled list OF
books, authors and magazines that
are popular in their libraries If you
want to follow the mental trends OF
those in the Armed Forces read
along with them.
Magazines are always in the lead
for popularity. Life, New Yorker,
Popular Photography, Esquire,
Readers Digest, Radio News, and
Saturday Evening Post are about the
first ones to be worn out.
The unabridged dictionary is the
most used book in the library. Many
arguments over spelling, pronunci-
alton and the use of words are set
tied by Mr. Webster.
Newspapers, maps and aliases are
in daily use, but for the most part
books that can be taken to barracks
are the chief interests of the men.

Lippmann's United States Foreign
Policy is widely read. His criticism
of American foreign policy of the
last forty years is forcefully and
clearly outlined in this book.
Technical books on military sub
