Chiangi and Lisa Drobnes add their comic book collection in the back of a
pickup truck at Norwich, Conn., Feb. 26, 1955. The Women's Auxiliary
of the American Legion has scheduled a burning of such books, inviting
children to bring in 10 books in exchange for a "clean"
book. Looking on from left are, Mrs. Charles B. Gilbert, former
national auxiliary president; Mrs. Edward Robinson; and Mrs. Webster Copp.
The scheduled bonfire brought protests from the American Civil Liberties
Union and the American Book Publishing Council. (AP Photo)
