From PTA's to Appalachian Children: 1,000,000 Books Children without books. Children attending schools that have hardly any books. These are the children of Appalachia, pupils in nearly a thousand tiny, frame school-housset in scraggly clearings and isolated from all but the sketchiest community life as most Americans know it. These are the children for whom American PTA's this Spring intend to provide one million books. The National Congress of Parents and Teachers, headed by Mrs. Jennelle Moorhead, of Eugene, Ore., has undertaken the collection of books for Appalachian children at the request of the President's Office of Economic Opportunity. Because the schools of Appalachia lack bookshelves as well as books, PTA's have been sent instructions for making school- room bookcase-shippin- g boxes, each of which will carry a supply of 50 or more books in transit and then serve as shelf space in the mountain school, as well. The REA Express has arranged to ship the boxes from any of its 8,000 offices in the continental U. S., at a special, flat rate of $1.95 per box. The final leg of transport, from Ix)uisville, Ky., is to be handled by the Louisville & Nashville Railway, which will bring into Appalachia the 20 railway freight cars that a million books would fill. book-fille- d BBBBW SSS BTBIBaw fll JWm HFsE a$jjMtSSAgkH - St. SvH Mrs. Jennelle Moorhead, national PTA president, picks out children's favorites for the bookcase box she's readying lor shipment to Appalachia schools.
