Library Notes

Dragon Harvest. by Upton Sin
clair, Viking Press, 1945.
This new novel in Upton Sim
clair's epic of the modern world
is up to the standard of his earl
Ter "Lanny Budd" novels. The
characters for the most part the
real life men and women who
shaped the book begins on the
Riviera Just after Munich, a Ri
| viera where a "shelved British
statesman" named Churchill re-
lakes around Maxine Elliott's
swimming pool with the recently
abdicated King of England and
his bride, and ends with a fan
tastic scene at Napoleon's tomb
after France had fallen to Hitler.
Lanny Budd the chief character,
~ostensibly an art agent whose
clients are the famous-and infa-
mous-of Europe, England and
America, is in reality a secret
agent reporting to President
Roosevelt the Vaccinations Of
Fascists and dietators.
An honored guest at Berchtes-
gaden, he is present while Hitler
plans the seizure of Poland. Hess
and Goerring are his intimafes.
At the time when the King of the
Belgians was surrendering his
armies and his country, Lanny
was in the apartment of the mSs-
tress of Frances premier, along
with Petain, and he agreed to
act as liaison for the French and
British appraisers. He has pri-
vate audience with Chamberlain.
Secretly he warns Belgium, Hol-
land and Norway Of their APP
preaching fate. He takes an ac-
tive part in the rescue at Dun
kirk, in a superb account which
may become the classic fictional
description Of that stirring occa-
sion. After Dunkirk. Lanny re-
joins Hitler TO see if ne can find
out when the Nazis intend to IN
vode Britain, and as the book
ends he IS once again in Paris,
now occupied by the new order.

suggestions that have been in
corporated in the organizations
national plan of work for the
next two years. 1t is believed
that the program is the first
ever developed by a national
youth organization in consulta-
ton with its entire membership.
Because of the citizenship en-
phasis of Girl Scout Week this
year, all of the traditional Seven
Service Days will be keyed to
this theme, and special tribute
will be paid on October 81 to
Girl Scouting founder, Juliette
Low. who believed that the
Scouting movement could be a
vital force for international
peace and understanding. Girl
Scout Week is celebrated annu-
ally by members of the Girl
Scout organization in memory
of Mrs. Low.
The Girl Scouts postwar pro-
gram for active citizenship can
be summed up, according to Mrs.
McWethy as American youths
expressed desire TO learn to be
friends to all, at home, in our
own country and communities,
and in the wide world" Some Of
the troop activities recommended
by the membership to achieve
that end include more interna-
tional cooperation with Girl
Scout and Girl Guide groups in
other lands; learninp more about
our own country and the COM
munitics in which we live; and
taking more responsibility for
their own troop programs as
way Of practising some of the
attitudes and procedures these
citizens Of tomorrow will need
TO fulfill their obligations TO
their country and the world"
