I3; By BLANCHE BERGER For anyone who has younger sisters, brothers or cousins the problem of suitable gifts for Christmas usually presents a seri- ous problem. One of the best and most appre- ciated things to give is a book that will suit the youngster's particu- lar taste. According to Miss Sarita Davis, Librarian at the Universi- ty Elementary School, "Children will always love to read the old classics such as 'Mother Goose Rhymes," "Fairy Tales," ."Little Women" and "Treasure Island." Books such as these will never grow out of style." This will be a better Christmas than ever before because many out of stock favorites will, b back at the publishers. New edi- tions of popular stories are con- stantly being published with dif- ferent illustrations. Pictures play a very important part in books for youngsters because they catch and hold the interest of the reader. This year over 600 new stories have been published, the best of which according to a poll taken among elementary librarians, is "Strawberry Girl" by Lois Lenski. It is written for the age group be- tween 9 and 12, but the author has also published many stories for younger groups. An inexpensive series for the younger set include "Little Golden Books" and "Lit- tle Rainbow Stories." Great favor- ites are the A. A. Milne tales such as "Winnie the Pooh" and "Now We Are Six." "Children are very much like grown-ups when it comes to choosing a book they like to read," commented Miss Davis. Very often they prefer non-fic- tion and enjoy studying straight discussion on diversified sub- jects." The boys especially en- joy topics dealing with minor Events To Be Held At Martha Cook Residents of the Martha Cook Building will present their annual pre-Christmas weekend affair to- morrow and Sunday at the dormi- tory. "White Christmas," a semi-for- mal dance, featuring the music of Phil Busche and his orchestra, will be given from 9 p.m. to mid- night tomorrow, according to Flor- ence Garritson and Betty Gad- bout, co-chairmen of the affair. Decorations are being kept secret, but they have announced that refreshments will be served, and novel entertainment will be pro- vided. A Christmas supper will be given at 6 p.m. Sunday, and is under the chairmanship of Jean Kilpatrick. The supper is a traditional event, following the performance of "The Messiah." This year's guest list will include members of the cast, members of the Administrative Department of the University, and officials of the Music School. The supper will be followed by a coffee hour, to which residents of Martha Cook may invite their friends. A program has been planned, and will be presented in the Blue Room. For the Formal Friday Night experiments of an elementary scientific nature. Other books popular with ele- mentary school children are "The Big Tree" by Mary & Conrad Buff, Walo's "Friendship Valley," "Paul Revere" by Esther Forbes, illus- trated by Lynd Ward, "Mr. Plum and The Little Green Tree" by H. E. Gilbert and illustrated by Mar- garet Bradfield, a local resident. "Volcano" by Tom Galt, "Star- light" by Woddy, "Wind in the Willow" by Rackham Giahame, and the ever popular "Anderson Fairy Tales" are also good selections. "Children have good taste in books-especially if they have had a good background," said Miss Davis. She continued by saying that it, was important that children read a variety of books, especially those matching their particular interests. "Ex- pose them to the best works, but also see they get information on the special subject they wish to develop." Today there is a flood of litera- ture on the market. It takes an experienced eye to sort the good from the bad. Miss Davis added, "the concept of discrimination in reading matter should be stressed at an early age so that children will develop with a sound knowl- edge of worthwhile as well as in- teresting literature. In this way they will derive the greatest bene- fit as well as pleasure." The weekly Faculty-student tea will be held from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. today in the Russian Tea Room of the League. Mem- bers of the History Depart- ment are to be the special guests. All professors and stu- dents are invited. Holiday Theme Will Prevail A novel Christmas theme will be featured in the decorations of the Casbah this weekend since this is the last time before vacation that the 'campus nightclub' will be open. The floorshow will highlight Art Sheff as emcee, plus a male quar- tet consisting of Al Miller, Andy Pringle, Cork Geib, and Bob Mul- ford singing such favorites as "She's More to be Pitied than Cen- sored" and "Night and Day." Alan Townsend's jazz sextet will also perform for the students. Each week a new floorshow fea- turing student talent is presented for the entertainment of the guests. .Tryouts will be resumed after the vacation according to Penny Klausner, floorshow chair- man. Many of the long tables at the Casbah have been made smaller accommodating only two couples. Refreshments will be served as us- ual, and tickets may be secured at the main desk in the League.
