Just Between
Ourselves .
BY Philip H. Love-

PROVIDE just the guidance you need.
So far, the committee has pre-
pared five lists of interesting and
worthwhile books for boys and girls.
The first four LISTS recommended
books which, through story and pic
ture, fact and fiction, were calcu-
lated to give American youth bet
ter understanding Of the peoples of
the other United Nations. The fifth
list, just completed, is designed, as
the committee explains, to "call at
tention to the fact that the United |
Nations begin at home" Says
Chairman Vernon ives:
"'Good American stock has It's
antecedents all over the globe. We
should be aware of it, and proud
that our national motto and our ma
tional life set an example of peace
full unity for all the world
Americans ALP Is the title of the
