Those Who Help Themselves

Crafts for Retarded: Through Their Hands They Shall Learn - William C McNeice


Printed in 1964 so comes under the "They Didn't Know Any Better" banner of unfortunate book titles. 
Boring But True
The swastika is a cross with its arms bent at right angles to either the right or left. In geometric terms, it is known as an irregular icosahedron or 20-sided polygon.The word is derived from the Sanskrit "svastika" and means "good to be". In Indo-European culture it was a mark made on people or objects to give them good luck.It had been around for thousands of years before Hitler and the Nazi's got hold of it.


History will forgive Mr McNeice this one
