Some Looks
At Books
By LOCKIE PARKER
AMEBICAN MEMOIR by John
W. Dodds (Holl, Rinehart & Win
ston $4.00). This analysis of
changes in popular tas^e in Amer
ica since 1900 is both entertaining
and informational. It may be
most appreciated by those who
are old enough to remember Key
Stone comedies and Gibson girls,
chautauquas and bathtub gin, but
it will give anyone an overall
view of the surprising changes in
our mass culture and folkways
that have taken place within the
space of one lifetime.
With tolerence and good humor
the author describes what masses
of people have liked in books,
houses, magazines, oratory, ads
and radio, not only by way of en
tertainment but in the fields of
self improvement, information
and general culture. He uses the
concrete example effectively as
when he begins his chapter on
Best-sellers” with quotations
Ifrom Tarkingtton’s •'‘Seventeen”
and Salinger’s “Catcher in the
Rye.” What a difference in those
two boys!
Another chapter is entitled
“Success Story: the Business Man
as Hero.” Professor Dodd follows
this through from Horatio AlgePs
earnest, industrious bovs to the
Organization Man. Another ex-
emple of change in this field is
that the most successful “how-to-
do-it” in this field around 1900
was Orison Swett Marden’s
“Pushing to the Front” (250- print
ings); while in our time it is
“How to Win Friends and In
fluence People.” Let the rugg.sd
individualists reflect on that.
While taking no rosy view of
today’s soap operas, confession
magazines, horror comics, inane
and repetitious movies and tele
vision shows. Professor Dodd be
lieves that Americans have made
progress since 1900. “Vast num
bers of Americans are more
sophisticated, in the good sense,
than they were then—tougher-
minded, broader in the scope of
their sympathies, less likely to oe
fooled by pretentious shoddi
ness.”
He has assembled adequate
facts and figures to back his opin
ions, but presents them in an
easy, informal manner that makes
this book good reading as well as
good social history.
THE NEW AMBASSADORS
by Edwin Gilbert (Lippincott
$4.95), This is an up-to-date nov
el about Americans in Paris,
business men who with mission
ary zeal are introducing the
French to modern refrigeration,
cellophane packing, lunch-coun
ter drugstores, supermarkets,
diaper service and general Amer
ican efficiency and convenience
But this is background. The
central figure is Michael John
Stoddard, industrial engineer. He
is there to supervise the construc
tion of the first supermarket and,
at first, a lot of other things he
sees make him itch to remodel
them, but he is shown as subtly
changing until the day comes
when he shrinks from the noisy
drugstore and looks with deep af
fection on the leisurely sidewalk
cafe.
His appreciation of things
French is accelerated bv his fall
ing in love with Danielle, an ex
quisite and cultivated girl of the
upper middle class with close
family relations. Stoddard is a bit
of a wild man who plays as hard
as he works, loving whisky, fun,
fast driving, gambling, the night
spots of Paris. His financial af
fairs are often in a mess but this
never worries him too much since
he is confident of his earning
power as an industrial engineer
Miss Helen Kidd
Succumbs at 20
Miss Helem Jeanette Kidd, 20,
of Robbins, Route 1, died Wed
nesday of last w;eek. Funeral
services were held Friday at 3
p. m. at Highfalls Methodist
Church conducted by the Rev.
Jefferson Davis. Burial was in
the church cemetery.
Surviving are her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Marcus Kidd, Robbins,
Route 1; two brothers, Bobby
Kidd of the home and Linton
Kidd of Highfalls; and her ma
ternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs.
Charlie Garner, Bennett, Route 2.

of recognized ability. He is also
confident of getting what he
wants in other fields until Dan
ielle shakes this confidence.
Danielle is as strongly attract
ed to him as he is to her and
does not try to hide this, yet she
seems held back by forces she
will not discuss. As the love be
tween them deepens, this resis
tance becomes more frustrating.
Slowly it becomes clear that, to
a Frenchwoman of her back
ground and connections, “love”
is not everything. The problems
this raises and their working out
are handled with considerable
understanding of both characters.
The drama of the development of
their romance is well sustained
and comes to a consistent conclu
sion.

STEPHEN MORRIS by NevU
Shule (Morrow $3.95>). Among the
papers of the late Nevil Shute
were found two short novels—the
first he ever wrote. Since both
dealt with the career of Stephen
Morris, the publisher has com
bined them in the present vol
ume.
Not as skillfully constructed as
Shute’s later tales, these still
have many of the qualities for
which his readers loved him.
First, there is his deep admiration
for the virtue of ordinary people.
Like Stephen Morris, he “always
held that the average human be
ing was a pretty good sort.”
Second, there is his respect for
the man who knows and loves his
work. In this case it is aeronau
tics which Shute himself knew
well. The story is laid in the early
days of the aircraft industry in
England when both money and
lives were risked by men who be
lieved in the future of this indus
try and its importance to their
country.

KATIE AND THE SAD NOISE
Ruth Stiles Gannett (Random
$1.95). This book has an easy-to-
read story that little girls will
love. Katie heard a sad noise in
the night and idreamed that
something was lost. The next day
she asked her mother to fix her
two lunches—whatever it was
might be hungry—and went
looking for it after school.
She found nothing that day nor
the next, but she kept hearing the
sad noise at night. Her father
thought it was nonsense and
spoke to her teacher about
Katie’s foolishness, but Miss Tab
let had beard the noise, too. And
so we are led on dramatically
from incident to incident until
the mystery is solved and Katie
gets an appropriate reward.
The bright pictures on every
page are as appealing as the
story, and the book has a gay
jacket that looks like Christmas.

Readinf] Deuteronomy
How Jesus Grew
Lesson for October 1, 1961
/\ PERSON who no longer grows
^ ceases to be a person. He
becomes a fossil, 11 he is old, or
he stays a baby, if he is young.
Our world Is cluttered up with
babies who never grow up, and
with fossils in human shape. The
fossils haven’t
had a new Idea in
thirty years, and
the babies haven’t
had any ideas of
their own yet. A
genuine human
being grows
throughout his
life-time, grows
r. Foreman longer grows
la his body.
It shocks some people to Qilnk
that Jesus ever grew; but Luke
says plainly that he did, and tells
us how. The church has always
said that Jesus Christ is botti God
and man; and this is hard to un
derstand. But if we try to make
the pr^lem easier by saying that
Jesus Was a special kind of human
being who ^d not grow and did
not need to, then we are not mak
ing the problem easier but hard
er; lor we are then denying that
he was truly human.

H« eut his way forward
Luke, writing our third Gospel,
uses his Greek language with
I care. He uses one word for “grow”
I —in Luke 2:40, and another word
In Luke 2:52. Luke 2:40 tells hoW
Jesus grew, or rather simply teUs
us that Jesus did grow, before he
was twelve years old. Luke 2:52
tells us how Jesus grew after he
was twelve years old. In speaking
of the Uttle boy Jesus, Luke says
ho grew, but he uses the same
word that is used to describe the
growth of gai-den plants and flow-
«». It is a good word to tell how
little diUdren grow. It comes nat
urally, they can’t help growing
Give them food and sleep and the
out-of-door# to play In, and the
will grow without knowing it.
But .fter twelve Luke has ar
other word. It is a word suggest
ing effort, struggle.
Body and mind
Some people are, we say, one-
■■ideu. Part of them grew but the
est didn’t. We have all known
people who were “brains” but
•ivsical weaklings. We have also
'■ 11 people who are very strong
^ to the heck, but pretty weak
i)ove that si>ot. Luke is careful
X teU us that Jesus grew both in
wisdom and in stature; that is to
<.ay mentally and physlcaUy. The
oiu Greeks used to have a motto
which the Romans copied and is
still in circulation: “A sound mind
in a sound body.” Jesus cut his
way toward in both respects. He
pew in wisdom—that lyord is
important also. No doubt he grew
in knowledge. His mother would
teach him, as Deuteronomy di
rects parents to do; but while
knowtodge can be put into a boy
or girl from the outside, as it
were, by an Instructor, wisdom—
that is, knowing what to do with
the knowledge you have—has to
be developed on the Inside. A
coach can guarantee to teach a
boy enough knowledge to get into
the university; but no coach can
guarantee to teach wisdpm to go
with it. Jesus grew in wisdom by
working his way forward. It is of
no use to wish to be wise widiout
being willing to go through the
trouble it takes.
Who liked Jesus?
One way of judging the Worth
of a man is to ask: Who likes
him? Merely being popular is not
enough. Popular with what kind
of people? Luke writes that the
boy and young man Jesus ad
vanced “in favor with God and
man.” (God and men, literally.)
Put into everyday language, this
means both God and men liked
him better every day. In later
years Jesus had bitter enemies,
who at last murdered him; but In
his younger years. If Luke tells
the whole s tory at this point, Jesus
appears to have had no enemies.
He made only friehds. Jesus was
not one of these cranks who
doesn't care what people think
about them. But he did not forget
(what so many oherwise normal
persons forget) that It Is much
more Important that God should
like you than that other people
should. We must leave It to the
reader to think it out from here;
a Jesus grew physically and men
tally, spiritually and socially, how
can Christians have all-round •
growth like that In our own lives?
