Barbara Ward has here written the most penetrating and the most important of her several books. With arresting clarity, coupled with a deep knowledge of history and of .current affairs, she explains how the rich nations become richer, while the poo£ nations, in spite of desperate and heroic efforts, actually become poorer. This predicament of the under- developed countries paradoxically results from the four simultaneous revolutions in favor of personal and national equality, of material progress, of rising birth rates, and of scientific change. All four revolutions started in the Atlantic areas, where they have had two centuries in which to mature. But in the under-developed world today they are occurring simultaneously and at breakneck speed. Without outside help they will surely produce a deepening chaos in which Communism has every hope of repeating itt Russian and Chinese triumphs. The exact nature of this challenge, why the West must try to meet it, and how it can be met --these are the themes of this brilliant, disturbing and e x c i t i n g b o o k . M i s s Ward writes simply, hopefully, and constructively and addresses squarely every free man and woman in the Western world. "HOT RODS: HOW TO BUILD AND RACE THEM," by John Christy, with a special section on compact car engines. A complete guide for beginners and expert hot rodders-- from basic theory to advanced techniques getting more horsepower, boring and stroking for torque, porting and ramming, supercharging, use of cams, carburetion and injection, hot rodding the chassis engine swaps, your most "hoppable" engines, drag racing, kart building and racing. This the hot rodder's complete guide. To be read, reread and referred to by the beginner or seasoned builder, it presents .the latest information-- from basics to advance techniques to new fields. It tells you the easy, budget substitutions --using export kits, station wagon and truck parts and government surplus --that will make your stock car a complete hot rod, or your present rod a better one. And it gives a full, practical analysis of engine swaps for every major make and model car. It shows you how to apply advance engineering theory to build a winning "iron." From fuel injection to stroking, from ram-tuning to supercharging it explains the mysterious "art" of getting more horsep o w e r -- t h e e q u i p m e n t t h a t will go furthest and how to modify it. "Hot Rods:: How to Build and Race Them" provides your entry to the sport of go-karting and to compact car engines, which are revolutionizing the field today. Many speed secrets, revealed here for the first time, are from top authorities whom the author has specially contacted. Other facts are from John Christy's own career, which has made him a well-know name in auto racing. All are personal experience plus theory which, as any gas-in-the-blood hot rodder knows, makes the complete book. CHILDREN'S BOOKS "ADAM'S BOOK OF ODD CREATURES," by Joseph Low. Ancestor Adam thought he'd done With naming creatures, one by one: But no! there were twentysix creatures more to go, and he had all those letters, yet, beside, to place in order alphabetically. To make matters worse, Eve was waiting dinner. Adam, however, was not one to let a bad situation puzzle him long. With one bold, imaginative stroke, he solved both of his problems at once. The result: a complete task, a group of real (well almost all real) animals with very strange names, and an alphabet book of unusual and vastly humorous dimensions. Fun for the whole family. •ME THREE ROBBERS," by Tomi Ungerer. Once upon a time there were three fierce robbers. They went about hidden tinder large black capes and tall black hats. With a blunderbuss, a pepper* blower., and a huge red axes, they terrified and plundered the countryside. Then one night, as this book tells, they met a girl named "Tiffany." "What is all this for?" she asked when she saw their great wealth. The robbers choked, sputtered, and began a new career. "Whatever the color of money," says Tomi Ungerer, "it is never too later to make good use of it." Whether the robbers did or not, the reader may determine. But surely all readers wilL agree that the drcll text and the dark, mysterious pictures make a subtle and wonderfully amusing book. "MAMA, I WISH I WAS SNOW CHILD, YOU'D BE VERY COLD," by Ruth Krauss. Some parents find it difficult to make the proper comment after a statement like, Mama, I wish I was snow." But in this book, where there are many such statements, Mama always knows what to say. In fact it is what Mama says and the delightfully absurd illustrations of her replies that make the book so imaginative, and so much fun. Children will value this book because it captures so well the humor that delights them, and is at the same time warm, loving and poetic. Parents will value the book because it gives them new insights into what to say when they hear, "Mama, I wish I was snow," or "Mama, I wish I was a chair." •ARTHUR," by Rhoda Levine. It. had been a fine lush summer in New York, but when the time came to fly South all of the birds were ready--all, that is, except Arthur. He was never around when important decisions were being made. And so Arthur is left behind. Dismayed at first by his lack of companions, he is soon fascinated by New York "in the time that is not summer." Rush hours, steaming manhole covers, a daily feast of crumbs, icicles, snow, Christmas trees, and people singing "Gloria," all become a part of his world before spring comes and the birds return. Arthur is a strange bird, an odd bird, and a very private bird to other birds; but to children he will be a delightful guide to a bird's eye view of New York.

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE By: Russ Emerson, R.Ph. We feel that sleep is worthy of a few words for the simple reason that your health demands a sufficient period rf relaxation to rest not as muLi the1 body as the brain. What is sufficient rest? Aristotle said: "Six hours of sleep: for a man, seven for a woman and eight for a fool." However, sleep's duration is much like a new shoe -- if it feels good, it's right. In general, the very old require the least sleep, the very young the most. Averaw sleeping time for adults is 7W hours. Don't be asleep, however, in the matter of high quality prescriptions. Your health demands the best. The finest in prescriptions is always available at MILLSTFEAM DRUGS, INC., your Walgreen Agency Drug Store. Phone 385-5057. We give S&H Green Stamps with prescriptions.
