V) <4 THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1961 ITHE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina Some Looks At Books By LOCKIE PARKER JOHN F. KENNEDY; A Sense of Purpose by Charles Lam Mark- marni and Mark Sherwin (St. Martin's $4.95(), This is not a bi ography. Two experienced news papermen have made a sober an alysis of President Kennedy’s goals as stated in his early ad dresses—the inaugural speech is given in full—and of what has been accomplished in moving to ward these goals in the early months of his administration. The book pretends to no startling dis closures nor does it indulge in personal gossip. It is a useful sum mary, well organized, well index ed and worth keeping on tbs desk in case you want to refresh yoijr memory on the “Who’s Who” Of the administration or just what did happen in certain crises. This is not to say it is dull read ing. I found the authors’ forth right account of sequences of events that I had read sefappily in ntswspapers or heard over ra dio as they happened both illumi nating and satisfying. In general, the arrangement is chronological, beginning with the two previous administrations as background, but when they are discussing one subject, such as Laos, they finish with it before they go on to the next one even if chronologies overlap. This book is not just a paean of praise for President Kennedy. The authors are sympathetic with his aims and have considerable confidence in his character, his abilities, his determination, and the caliber of the men selected to advise him, but they pull no punches in pointing out what they consider mistakes or errors of judgment. Chief among these was, of course, the landing in Cuba which they deplore not so much because it failed as because “of the illegality and immorality of Washington’s active assistance to the overthrow of another govern ment.” Obviously it is too soon to pass judgment on the ultimate effect of some of the incidents discuss ed, but as an estimate at this stage, this provides a thoughtful and interesting book. quality. Born in a Lancashire mill town of poor parents, she gives much credit for her success to her in domitable mother. “We’re going ‘oop in t’ world, ‘oop!” said Moth er and she set about doing it with tireless ingenuity and a purpose that never relaxed. There were setbacks, of course, but no disappointment was bitter enough to stop Mother. “So long as you didn’t get soft and give in, you could always have a laugh the next minute and a bit of a song.” That is the spirit that carried Gracie Fields through early hard ships, personal tragedies and a terrific amount of work. It makes the book most attractive reading, that and her humility in the face of all the applause given her and —what was more important than mere applause—the warmth and affection she felt coming back from her audiences as they cheered “Our Gracie.” She herself is a very warm per son, deaply attached to her fam ily—brother, sisters, nephews, nieces, the orphans in her orphan age that call her “Aunt Gracie.” She kept right on loving her home town, too, though she de scribes it as a dark, damp, little mill town, and she went back there again and again to sing to the people of Rochdale because she “belonged” there. One of her great assets was that she kept the common touch and never wanted to get away from it. Once the great opera singer, Tetrazzini, heard her sing and told her she should leave the music halls and study for opera, but Gracie loved the music halls with their laugh ter and shouting. Besides, she said, “It’s the feeling that you can do best wherp you belong that counts most and I belong here.” She tells of her personal life, too. Her first two marriages were almost part of her work, for they were to her managers, though the second was a success in its way. But it was her last marriage, to Boris Alperovici, that has given her all she had dreamed of as a girl; so the story has a happy ending.

During recent years several new industries have come to Southern Pines and, by the looks of things, more are on the way. This means more jobs for local folks, more funds circulating in local pockfets, more good citizens coming here to live ... During the past year a dozen or more drives have been held here for funds in support of better health, better education, to alleviate human need . . . During the past year more people have come here to live, attracted by what they hear or have read of the climate, the sports, the pleasant living, the charm of a friendly, attractive community ...

The book on satellites is by Isaac Azimov who has a reputa tion in science fiction as well as science proper. He begins with the earth’s oldest satellite, the moon, explaining what holds it in orbit, and goes on to the man made satellites. I found my own ideas enlarged by his chapters on the functions of the latter—meas uring the earth’s shape, counting meteors, sending back pictures from outer space, relaying mes sages and helping to predict weather. A list of the more im portant satellites is included with their dates and their special con tribution. This was written before man had been sent into space, but he shows the general plan of the Mercury capsule. There’s a nice blank page after his list if the reader wants to make additions. “The Story of Numbers” goes to the opposite end of man’s his tory. It is notable for an especial ly convincing presentation of primitive man when he had no numbers and needed none, when separate words were used for “one deer” and “two de-er” and beyond three, it was just many. The reader, having imaginatively realized this, can then appreciate what a big step was taken whei. man began to count. First, he used tallies, marks on a tree with a knife or sometimes piles of peb bles. Then someone counted on his fingers, and this was found so much more convenient that nearly all number systems de veloped from it. Some counted by fives; some by twenties (using the toes, too), and some by tens as we do. This fascinating ac count should give the child a new respect for the figures which make our arithmetic practical.

A layman in anything—farming, medicine, law, the church-4s simply a non-specialist A layman in law may take a great interest in law. Indeed it may become his hobby; but if he never went to law school and never even tried to pass a bar examina tion, he’s a lay. man. So with the chinch. A Lay man is a Chris tian wi&out the — specialized train- Dr. Foreman tog fbat the min- ister (pastor, preacher or priest) has had. Most Protestants be lieve that a minister’s training does not make a different kind of man out of him (except as all education changes any student). His studies, which the church re quires of him before he can be called a minister in full standing, simply equip him for the special kinds of work he has to do. The layman has not taken these studies, and does not preach, and is no pastor. “The truth of your IHo’* For an that, if ever there is a church where the laymen aU be come "dead wood,'* where aU the work is left to the pastor, that church dies and doesn’t take long at it either. Laymen are even more necessary to (he church than ministers are. Laymen can be a church without a minister; but a minister without laymen can’t possibly be a church. What is a good layman? There is nothing mysterious about it. In the church, a good layman is sim ply a Clhristian who lives his reli gion—.md has, to be sure, a faith he can live by. The third letter of Saint John, to the New Testa ment, was written to a good lay- man named Gains. .All we know about him Is In tills one-page let ter. John speaks first of aU of the truth of Gains’ life. No doubt his ideas were good and his beliefs were true; but for John that was not what he praised Gains for. It was the truth of his life that impressed people most. "Any service to the brethren" Many people think of church work as anything done inside the church walls, on church property Now where Gaius lived, there was no church building (the New Testament was completed before Christians began to build church es) and no organization in tlia modem sense of that word, .tnd yet Gaius was a loyal worker. “Any service” to other Christians (the “brethren”) is called a “loyal thing” to do. Gaius’s particular specialty seems to have been hos pitality. In a time when hotels did not exist, men like Gaius would help the church by taking into vheir homes traveling preachers and bishops and missionaries. A supporting player on the stage or the athletic field, a sup porting regiment’in a battle, are very important. So it is In the church. The far-flung work of the church, which is wider than most members realize, would fall to nothing overnight without support. The 20th century Gaius may not find any wandering missionaries at the bus station to take home to dinner; but the money he leaves in the church offering plates goes a long long way. The intelligent layman will want to know, and will find out, where his “benevolence dollar” goes, and why. “The friends" There’s no special difficult tech nique about being a good layman. Much of it is cultivating the sim ple arts of friendship. There are boys and girls in the church need ing an older friend’s word of guidance (not dictation!); there are parents pretty hard pressed who could use a little help and encouragement from others; there are grieving hearts, in need of sympathy, in need of a strong arm to lift them and set them on the highroad again... If you can look around you and see nobody who needs a friend, send us your name and address. You must live in Paradise. But if you still live on this planet, you live among people who need friends ... bet ter friends too. Some people tear others down; what is needed is people who are friendly in the name, and for the sake, of the Friend of us aQ.
