An entirely new approach . to
' the problem_ of education of
workers was initiated recently in
Detroit when the UAW-CIO
opened the Union Bookstore at

ment, endeavors to bring the -best
literature to union members at
the lowest possible prices. It is
maintained on a non-profit basis.
UAW members can receive dis-
counts on all books except those
prices fixed by law.
While primarily the store is
for UAW members, liberal groups
may take advantage of its fine
- stock of books dealing with var-
ied fields of interest. Jewish
readers will find books on race
and discrimination, Jewish his-
tory and literature, on the 'eco-
nomic and political problems of
war and peace, on history and
science, music and the fine arts,
besides progressive children's
books which are recommended
by liberal and qualified teachers'
societies throughout the U. S.
The store has the best selling
books, such as "Under Cover,"
"A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" and
- b- "Forgotten Ally" by Pierre Van
Paassen.
