Friday, October 15, 1948 New Book Drive Planned; Boston Paper Lauds Move Wendell, Wakelon Led Nation Last Year in Aid Os Books to War Areas A campaign to collect books for the U. S. Occupied Zone of Ger many will get underway early next month, State Book Collection Com mittee officials announced this week. A drive will be undertaken similar to that of last year, when over 50,000 books and magazines were collected for German school children in rural Wake County alone. The move to obtain books for the children, who have virtually no literature left since Hitler destroy ed all books without Nazi ideolo gies and the U. S. Occupation Forc es destroyed all Nazi literature, was initiated by John Park, editor of The Raleigh Times. A county committee headed by Ferd Davis, editor of The Zebulon Record, was formed at a meeting of district school committeemen held last October at Wakelon School, and the first drive followed. Drive Next Month Next month’s drive will be un der the direction of Dr. J. E. Miller of the State Department of Public Instruction, with Ferd Da vis serving as chairman in central North Carolina for some twelve counties. The campaign received national acclaim, with The Christian Sci ence Monitor, an international daily newspaper published at Boston, remarking editorially this week: “In the past year the people of North Carolina have sent more than 1,000,000 books and maga zines to the young people of Ger many. The idea has caught on elsewhere, and other groups have swelled the total of reading matter going to book-hungry Germans. Reports stress the diversity of ma terial sent everything from the splendiferous, provocative, and sometimes gruesome pages of a MODERN EQUIPMENT PLUS CARE equals a total of good work!

The perennial ragamuffin, drifting down the giant solitudes of the Mississippi in unconscious democratic fraternity with “Nigger Jim,”, is more than a fictional character. He is the symbol of America’s irresponsible childhood. He is the urge to retreat from .‘civilization,’ if you will. But he is generous; he is shrewd. He complements the better-known Tom Sawyer, the gadgeteer, the salesman, the organizer predestined for success. The True America “Europeans know all about American mechanical efficiency. They have seen its jeeps and streamlined convertibles. They have heard of the atom bomb. But they need to understand the sym bols that lie deep in the American imagination deeper even than Superman or Popeye as Ameri cans occupying Germany need to know Siegfried and Faust and even Till Eulenspiegel in order to understand Hans.” Wakelon and Wendell Schools can claim a large portion of the credit for the success of the oper ation, since Wendell and Zebulon under the direction of Principals Ed Boyette and Fred Smith con tributed approximately 30,000 vol umes in the campaign which sent 1,000,000 books abroad.
