No store stamps. --- --- CHILDRENS/YOUNG ADULT FICTION --- When her good friend the milkman was killed in Vietnam, Jane Simon wept. Then she wrote to the President of the United States, asking why we were at war. The letter she got from the State Department did not answer her question. . . . . Frustrated with official answers to deeply felt questions, Jane decided that she and other junior high school students could do something to help end the war. Most of her classmates discouraged her, but Donald Lehman said he would help and several students from across town made it a committee of six. . . . . The six young people made their plans, and part of the town reacted against them. The American Legion denounced them. The school principal warned Jane about what happened to troublemakers; her minister called to give some unfriendly advice, and four boys from her own school threatened Donald with a knife. . . . . But the spark struck by the Peace Committee kindled a flame in peaceful hearts, too. Jane and her friends got support for a plan that drew television coverage and front page news stories across the country. . . . . . . . . One Day For Peace is an exciting story, outspoken in its convictions, that will be widely discussed and long remembered. . .See photos for additional content. . .
