lust Between
Ourselves
BY Philip Fl. Love

Today begins another Children's
Book Week, an excellent time, It'll
seems to me, to take stock of ones
library.
Does your library contain its full
quota of books that are worth keep
ing? Have you kept pace with the
worthwhile books of the last year?
To aid you in your stocktaking,
there's an article on page C-3 of to-
days Star, briefly reviewing some
OF the years most noteworthy books.
And, as a further help, the latest
recommendations of the Council on
Books In Wartime are listed below
"If the United Nations are to
remain allied in peace as we'll as
war" says Vernon Ives, chairman
of the Children's Book Committee
of the Council, 1T is imperative that
the American citizens of tomorrow
continue to grow in understanding
of their world neighbors. To help
them do so, we have revised our
previous booklist under the new
title of United Through Books"
All through the war the council
compiled lists of books calculated
to give the boys and girls of the
United Nations a better understand
ing of one another. The new list is
the last of the series, though similar
suggestions may be made in the fu-
ture by the committees successor,
the Children's Book Council.
Here's the list:
