UYING a book for somebody
else can be almost as peril
Gus an undertaking as Sc
~ lecting a hat for your wife.
The books your friends actually read
are seldom the ones you think they
ought to.
If you're browsing around for
something to suit a friend who will
read almost anything, just because
it Is printed, your only problem will
be to avoid giving him a book he's
already read. But If the gift is to
70 to some one more discriminating,
you'll be better of If you know lit
tie about his special fields OF inter-
est.
The books mentioned here as gift
suggestions have been selected al
most at random from the usual rich
selection that is available each
Christmas in the book stores. These
titles are intended to represent only
q small cross-section Of the many
excellent volumes that would make
acceptable presents.

Yachting pictures photographed by
Morris Rosenfeld. The artistic con-
ception of this work makes it an
appealing album for landlubbers, as
we'll as for seasoned yachtsmen.
Practically any male, from the
time he is old enough to float a
toy sailboat in the bathtub, is suf-
ficiently interested in the sea to find
pleasure in The Modern Wonder
Book of Ships by Norman Carlisle
and Eugene Nelson tWinston). This
book, literally illustrated with pho
tographs, deals not only with ships
but with the general lore of the sea.
Another photo collection, although
not the sort to conjure up wistful
memories, is Soldiers Album"
CHoughton- -Miff1in}, which is a pic
torial history of SHAEF put together
by Col. r. Ernest Dupuy and 1t. Col.
Herbert Gregstein. The photographs
are arranged to follow the course
Of the war from the Normandy in
vasion right through the armistice
For any one interested in phOtog-
raphy itself, an excellent present
should be Photography Is Lam
guage," by John r. Whiting Gift
Davis. According to the publisher,
this volume, which contains 125
photographs by distinguished CAM
eramen, is intended to be "photog-
rapher's and editors guide to crea-
tive camera work"
For Seafarers
And Doc 7 overs
For more serious mariners, espe-
cially for those who own small craft
of their own, Blue Water Naviga-
tion,' by Capt. Svend T. Simonsen
cornell Maritime Press, will pro-
vide fascinating reading during the
dreary winter days when their boats
are on the beach. Again the warn
ing, however-this book is not light
reading, but is intended for those
who already understand the rudi-
ments of navigation and want to
. learn little more.
Dog lovers, those who think dogs
have character-their own dogs eSpe-
cially-will like Your Dogs Horo-
scope" by Dorothea c. Pratt Har-
per-, which is really just new ex-
cuse for lot of clever drawings by
Stephen j. VOORHEES, It's sort of
book your friends will say is cute
if they have dog. Don't give it to
them if they don't.
For those who are the hopeless
slaves Of mans best friend there is
Golden Book of Dog Stories, -
edited by Era Zestel, who has in
cluded testaments of friendships
from such divergent authors as
Hugh Walpole, Ilya Ehrenburg and
scores of others.
Not about dogs but about wild ami
mails and birds in general is Alan
Devoe's speaking of Animals" (Cre-
ative Age). 1t has few photographs
and a great deal of lively informal
ton on the life, habits and eccen-
tricities of birds and beasts you don t
keep on leash.

excellent volumes that would make
acceptable presents
Special Editions Well
Bound and illustrated
One of the most fertile sources Of
gift books is the collection of special
editions of the classics or of popular
contemporary fiction: Among the
latest, available for the Christmas
tide, are the works of three modern
writer's whose works have been COB
bIed up voraciously by the reading
public in the last IS years or SO. A
new edition of Look Homeward,
Angel" by the late Thomas Wolfe
(Scribner's), has been illustrated by
Douglas Gorsline in a manner that
suggests the artist thoroughly un-
derstood what the author was
reaching for. John Steinbeck's
"Tortilla Flat" (Viking) in its latest
version, is garnished with II paint
ings by Peggy Worthington. "Rab-
BILE in Arms" by Kenneth Roberts
doubleday, has been re-issued in
a volume containing a series of
paintings by Esta Cosgrave in the
styles of Trumbull, Peale. Copley
and other early American portrait
painters.
Among the classics which have
been refurbished for the modern
market is a striking presentation
of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's The
Rhine of the Ancient Mariner"
Reynal & Hitchcock. The book is
sprinkled literally with line draw
ings by Alexander Calder and con-
tains critical essay on the work
by Robert Penn Warren.
Fireside Reading
Light and Heavy
For light fireside reading THE
Quiz Kids Book" ought to be
sound gift for nearly any member
Of the family. Despite their pre-
costly. the erudite urchins of Chi
cago have selected, as their favorite
reading, the sort of things you'd
expect any boy or girl would enjoy.
The collection of stories and poems
includes the story of Tom Sawyer
whitwaShing the fence, bits from
A. A. Molne's winnie the Pooh"
cuttings from Eugene Field and Al
fred Noyes' dashing and melodious
poem, The Highwayman."
Perhaps one of the finest gifts
you could make to any one in this
age when the basic principles of
government among human beings
are being re-examined worriedly by
many serious persons in this codn-
try is a volume called "Masterworks
of Government" Doubleday. This
book contains digests of 13 treatises,
most of which have had profound
influence in shaping the modern
world 1t begins with Plato's Re
public" and works up through Aris-
totle's Politics" Machiavelli's The
Prince" Montesquieu's THE Spirit
of Laws" Rousseau's The Social
Contract" Jefferson's "On Democ-
racy" and, finally, Wilson's "On the
League of Nations" These classics
have been skillfully edited by Leon
ard Dalton Abbott.

Against Communism
BY fae Associated Press

Bernard Cardinal Griffin. arch
bishop of Westminster, London, to-
day called on all Catholics to unite
against the common enemy of
communism and materiahsm.
In sermon prepared for deliv-
cry at a pontificial mass here, the
only out-of town event of the Buff
falo Centennial Eucharistic Con-
gress, Cardinal Griffin said:
I'm many countries the state
shows benevolent tolerance of the
Catholic religion. In some countries
there is active persecution of our
holy faith.
Now more than ever it is neces-
sary that Catholics throughout the
world should be united against the
common eremy of communism and
of materialism.
Cites Persecution.
"It is the mass that will unite
u.s." he said "It is the sharing in
the body of Christ by Catholics
throughout the world that unites us
10 Him and to one another.
1--WE here today are united in a
very real way with our brethren
who are being prosecuted in Yugo-
slavia and in many countries east
of the iron curtain where the faith
full have to attend mass at great
risk to their lives"
Meanwhile, st. Joseph's New Ca
thedral in Buffalo was the setting
for one of the most impressive cere-
monies of the four-day demonStra-
ton of the Catholic belief that
Jesus Christ is present in the sacra-
ment of holy eucharist (com-
munion).
