Pottebaum, illustrated by Ro bert Strobridge. A Little Peo ple’s Paperback. Geo. A. Pflaum, Publisher, Inc. 32 pp. 35$. Deluxe Edition (hard bind ing) $1.25 DAYTON, QNIO—OO—Occa sionally the release of a new book deserves to be called a “publishing event”. This is not infrequent for adult titles. How ever, for children’s books, “publishing events” are rare. The Little People's Paperbacks is just such an event in every sense of the word. The first two books were re leased during Catholic Book Week in February. They are designed to “fit the child's hand and the parent’s pocketbook”. Written for children up to age eight, these books are unlike anything that has been publish ed in Catholic juveniles. They are not just an innovation; they indicate a new trend in juvenile book publishing. THE ILLUSTRATIONS are made with torn paper and their textures and vibrant colors are vividly reproduced , to open the child’s heart to the story's re ligious significance. The first book, GOD MADE THE WORLD makes the story of creation meaningful to the child. The story uses elements from the child’s world to make its point: “Before we can draw a picture, we need a pencil. Be fore we can color, we need a crayon. But before God made the world, He didn’t have any thing.” In the second book, HOW THE ANIMALS GOT THEIR NAMES. the child names animals with Adam to discover that God made man the master creature. Both books are inventively told and illustrated to give the child a sense of participating in the mystery of God’s love. Each book contains a note to parents explaining why, for ex ample, in telling about the cre ation of Eve, reference to the rib was omitted. Such devices were not used, the author ex plains, to avoid introducing ele ments that would lead the child to believe what later teaching would have to correct. This new series brings the paperback revolution to the lit tle people and fills a serious need felt by parents and ele mentary school teachers who need inexpensive, quality read ing for their children. The books apply the latest findings of scriptural and catechetical ex perts. They should be on die most accessible shelf of every child’s library. Latin America WANTS YOU Stalin’s Tyranny (Continued From Page 1) ends as Ivan goes to sleep at night. It follows his every move ment and calculation through the eleven hour workday in the sub zero Siberian winter. It is a por trait of a man reduced to his m inimum ambition - to survive, simply to live one more day. Ivan is an experienced prison er. He knows the pattern and demands of prison life and he has made the one decision that determines his every step, word and thought - to stay alive. Great questions do not arise. Ties of family, ties to the past have been cut. Even the thought of freedom seldom occurs. He has long ceased to write let ters. “There was little sense in writing. Writing now was like dropping stones in some deep, bottomless pool. They drop; they sink - but there is no answer.” Ivan has three concerns: to eat, to be warm, to avoid con flict with the authorities. On this particular day he manages well. He steals an extra bowl of oatmeal and earns another by a service to a prisoner who has received a package from home. The techniques necessary to avoid freezing - how to wrap cloths over your face and around your feet, how to place your boots near a stove yet avoid scorching them, how to forget numbness in your hands - all this he has learned thoroughly and long ago. He has calculated as well the rules which must be kept and those which the guards know are unenforceable. There are now 150 men and women Papal Volunteers serving in twelve Latin American countries. Requests on hand at the beginning of 1963 call for 183 more as follows: Business Administrator- i man Catechists— I woman, 2 men or women Catechetical and Social Welfare Workers- 2 men, 5 women Credit Union and Cooperative Organizers— 2 men or women Community Development Organizers- 3 men, 6 women Communications Media Personnel: RADIO STATION ADMINISTRATORS- 6 men PUBLIC RELATIONS- 1 man Engineers and Technicians: RADIO TRANSMITTER MAINTENANCE- 2 men RADIO RECEIVER MAINTENANCE- 1 man CONSTRUCTION ARCHITECT- 1 man CONSTRUCTION ENGINEER- 1 man LINOTYPISTS- 2 men or women NEWSPAPER LAYOUT- 1 man PRESS OPERATION and MAINTENANCE-1 man Mechanics/Handymen- 2 men Medical Personnel: DOCTORS— 1 woman, 3 men or women DENTIST- 1 man NURSES- 16 women MEDICAL TECHNICIANS- 3 men or women PHARMACIST- 1 man Sailors (Coastal mission boat)— 2 men Secretary (English language)— 1 woman Social Workers (Juvenile program)— 3 men Teachers: ENGLISH LANGUAGE- 4 men, 11 women, 6 men or women VOCATIONAL and AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL- 16 men GRADE SCHOOL- 2 women HIGH SCHOOL (College Graduates)- 7 men, 11 women, 34 men or women UNIVERSITY (Sociology; Engineering; Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Electronic, Social Work; Physics; Chemistry.)— 8 men, 9 men or women Youth Workers- 4 men (3 with counselling experience) Requests for persons in many other categories are being received continually.

Mayhew 204 Battle Street La Grange, Georgia Infractions of the former bring confinement In the punish ment cells from which a man emerges after ten days broken and tubercular and those sent for twenty-five days never re turn. On the job - this parti cular day it is building a wall - what matters most is the ap pearance of progress. That will mean normal rations for the coming week. But Ivan builds a good wall and in that minute, meaningless accomplishment finds at least a hint of joy. And so at the end of the day “Shuk- hov went to sleep fully content ... A day without a dark cloud. Almost a happy day. There were three thousand six hundred and fifty-three days like that in his stretch. From the first clang of the rail to the last clang of the rail. Three thousand six hun dred and fifty-three days. The three extra days were for leap years.” AUTHOR Solzhenitsyn has managed to communicate not only die outer facts of prison existence but the reduced and shrunken sense of being a pri soner. His portrayal is erf sub tracted humanity, peeled and stripped to its hard, irreduce- able core. It would be to over state the case to label what is left ‘human dignity* or ’cour age*. It would perhaps be unjust to Solzhenitsyn and his hero to categorize it abstractly at all, as if such tragedy could result in neat definitions. Ivan Deni sovich is stirring, exciting, moving and in sane ways con temptible. He is a human be ing. His trial is terrifying. His story is a work of art. Politically, One Day is a somewhat startling phenomen on. The implication is that such grotesque injustice was a com mon occurence in Soviet Rus- Chicaeo 5. Illinois sia under Stalin.
