will feature the regular social
meeting of the Salem Junior
Wcfloanrs club. Monday night at
the Woman's clubhouse .at , 8

The campaign, sponsored by
the American Library associa
tion American Red Cross and .
United': Service Organizations,
seeks ten million books for
USO houses, army "dayrooms,"
ships ind naval bases. Books
will be taken to the state IK
brary where they will be sort-
d Paired if necessary, and
ed, repaired U necessary, u
sent on as quickly as possible
to the ispots where men in the
. service, want books.
Although the government pro
vides libraries in the larger
camps, the smaller units have
no library at all, "and even In
most camps where libraries do
exist . the demand for' recrea
tional reading is usually far
-greater than. the supply. Books
provided through the book cam
paign Wijl thus supplement the
government's existing library
facilities. Men on leave and in
"off hours" depend on the day
room ! of , their company and
their USO house for their lei-
i sure-time reading.
Our soldiers and sailors have
. a wide range of reading interest
and like all types of books. They
are particularly-eager for up-to-date
technical material to
help. with,, their problems, as
. well as books on current affairs
and fiction. '-

Do you know what the term
"Free French" means? Many
' know vaguely that it means the
force of Frenchmen who left
France after its fall and who
are making a good show of or
ganized resistance to Hitler. But
in the new book, "Charles de
Gualle," by Philippe Barres, the
reader will learn the whole story
of this movement and its great
leader. It was de Gaulle who
originated and tried to give to
France the theory and practice
" of mechanized warfare. France
spurned de Gaulle's ideas and
warnings of the possible turn of
i future wars, but Hitler in Ger-
: many heard of his ideas and
stole them; the result of these
events is now taking place, de
clares the author. Although
spurned by his country, , de
Gaulle is now the head of all
French forces outside France.
The book is also a good account
of the fall of France at the
hands of Germany. The author
knew de Gaulle from years of
service with ' him in France's
army before and after the end
of old France. '
Another account of France's
tragic defeat, told by Hans Habe
in "A Thousand Shall Fall," is
his own experiences as a volun
teer fighter for France against
the nazi. He was finally cap
tured and lived through two
months of horror in a German
war prisoners' camp. He now
is in this country as the result
of a spectacular escape. No other
man who has escaped and reach
ed this country has such a com
plete story to tell.
The two big novels of the
month, and they are both big
in bulk as well as importance,
are: "The - Ivory Mischief by
Arthur Meeker, jr., a story of
two beauties of the court life
of Louis XIV; and the modern
novel, "Dragon's Teeth," by Up
ton Sinclair, which deals with
national socialism in Hitler's
Germany. Sinclair has a faculty
of presenting current history in
"fiction form which is much bet
ter, that is, more convincing,
than the non-fiction form re
sorted to by most of the authors
of modern European affairs. J
