THOSE GREAT RATES

fine of the loveliest hooks we
have read recently is "Don't
Cry for Me" by Klara
Janunkova. translated from
the Slovak language in which it
was written
It is on high school reading
lists and certainly high school
readers can appreciate and
relate to it. However it has a
definite appeal for all adu Is
who ran remember their
youth, who work with
teenagers, and who appreciate
sensitive writing
Olga Polomcava is a girl
growing up, approaching her
fifteenth birthday With her we
experience compassion for the
neglected children who live in
the same apartment house, the
love and annoyance she feels
for her grandmother who lives
with her family, her first (and
disappointing i love, the con-
fusion and trouble between her
mother and father and her
struggle to find her own
identity
While the story reflects the
customs of life in
Czechoslovakia, Olga's ex-
periences show a common
denominator with sensitive
teenagers the world over It is
a lovely book
For the story of a teenage
boy growing up in earlier
America in the copper mining
areas of the West, we
recommend "Mile High. Mile
Deep" by Richard K
O'Malley
The setting is in Montana
where the big mining com
panics exploited the land,
where Dick and Frank ex-
plored the many facets of the
various minority groups, the
cross sections of various
civilizations that were
gathered there to work "mile
deep ”
They attended special
celebrations of the various
ethnic groupsan Irish wake,
holiday observances of Poles,
Germans, Scandinavians-and
from these they learned and
grew
The book is classified as
biography; and some may
consider it an autobiographical
novel At any rate it is ob-
viously based on the author's
own growing up and is
rewarding reading
