thors representing the three
faiths and are divided into Prot-
estant, Catholic, Jewish and
Good-Will sections. Each section
includes 35 books for adults pub-
lished within the past 10 years,
five classics and 10 juveniles. The
books will go on display in book-
stores, public and school li-
braries throughout the country
with special programs planned
ftir the week of May 7.
In announcing the listings, Mr.
Mayne declared that "it is indica-
tive of the current reading tastes
of the public that so many of
the best selling books of the day
are of a nature to be included
in the Religious Book Week
listing."
"There is a searching for the
spiritual among us, an eagerness
to understand one's fellow men
that is reflected in current read-
ing preferences," Mr. Mayne
said. "In a nation going through
the physical and spiritual trials
of war, this is indeed an en-
couraging sign. Religious Book
Week is designed to help and
guide all of us in that search
for understanding and spiritu-
ality."
In a preface to the catalogue,
Dr. George N. Schuster, presi-
dent of Hunter College, declares:
"Literature is one of the essen-
tial aids in the building of de-
mocracy. And democracy is,
above all, a code of mutual re-
spect and services. It is not a
creed in its own right but is
rather a commitment of the be-
lief that the social lives of men
cacn be regulated amicably
through the law. I believe that
each of the great religions can
strengthen the intensity of this
commitment in its followers for
reasons implicit in the religions
themselves. But each will, of
course, do so only through empha-
sis upon the validity of those
ethical impulses making fora
better social order which it
i
shares in common with others."

"The Forgotten Village," a Film by John Steinbeck,
To Be Shown at Hillel Foundation on April 29
"The Forgotten Village," a
movie by John Steinbeck, will be
shown at the Bnai Brith Hillel
Foundation at the University of
Michigan at 8 o'clock on Satur-
day evening, April 29. "They
Find a Home," a sound movie in
Technicolor released by the
United Palestine Appeal, will also
be shown on the movie program.
The movies are to be the main
features of the Hillel Movie-
Mixer to be held at the Founda-
tion that evening.
The narrator of the film "The
Forgotten Village" is Burgess
Meredith; and the film was first
released in 1941. It was directed
and produced by Herbert Kline;
the music was by Harms Eisler;
and the cameramen were Agus-
tin Delgado and Felipe Quin-
tanar.
"They Find a Home" tells the
story of the refugees who have
discovered their one hope of a
happy existence, Palestine.
In charge of the movies is
Edythe Levin, student director,
of Long Island, N. Y. The ar-
rangements for the Mixer are
in charge of Fay Bronstein, so-
cial chairman, of Cheyenne, Wy.,
and Elise Zeme, student •director,
of Detroit. The Mixer after the
movies is to consist of dancing,
ping pong and games. Refresh-
ments will be served, and there
will be no admission charged for
the Movie-Mixer.
John Steinbeck's own explana-
tion of "The Forgotten Village"
is as follows: "This is a story
of the little pueblo of Santiago
on the skirts of a hill in the
mountains of Mexico. And this
is the story of the boy Juan
Diego and of his family and of
his people, who live in the long
moment when the past slips re-
luctantly into the future."
While filming the movie, the
camera crew actually went to
the village, and thus the main
actors are the natives themselves.
Thousands of miles were trav-
eled in order to find the exact
village to fit the elastic story
planned by John Steinbeck. The
story centers on one family in
the small village, and the life
there is authentically shown. The
movie's theme tells how the hope
of the people lies in the youth
who understand and believe in
modern scientific methods as op-
posed to the superstitions of the
older natives.
