Some Looks
At Books
By LOCKIE PARKER
Folder Explains Social
Security for Farmers
Both soil bank payments and
farm rental income can affect the
amount of sociak security benefits
payable to a farmer and his fam
ily. It makes no difference if the
farmer be landlord, tenant, or
share-cropper, so long , as his
farming arrangement meets cer
tain requirements of the law, ac
cording to R. H. Chapman, district
office manager of the Fayette
ville social security office.
Mr. Chapman said that a free
pamphlet for farm people can be
obtained by writing his office,
150 Rowan Street, Fayetteville, or
calling phone number HE3-3668,
and asking for “The Social Se
curity Retirement Test for Farm
People,” OASI-25E.

CHILDREN'S BOOK WEEK,
November 12-18, has brought out
a fine crop of books this year for
children of all ages. These range
from sturdy books with card
board pages for the two-year-
olds to young romances and the
last word on space travel and
O oceanography for the big ones.
Most alluring to the eye are
the picture books for the small
ones. Tony Palazzo has added to
his Nursery Classics ($1.25) two
more favorites, THE THREE
LITTLE KITTENS and THE
THREE LITTLE PIGS. These
books are an attractive size, the
pictures are clear and unclutter
ed with detail so that the char-
Qf acters stand out boldly. Children
have shown a special affection
for them, the kind of book they
want Mother to read again and
again and then they hug it and
take it to bed.
Uniform with the above in for
mat and price are CAT TALES
ity at Christmas will be MINCE
Pip AND MISTLETOE by Phyl
lis McGinley ($2.95). In lilting
rhyme the author describes.
Christmas celebrations of earlier '
days in Virginia, New England,
our Southwest and other parts of
the United States that had dis
tinctive customs. There are lovely
illustrations in soft browns and
blues by Harold Berson,
For beginning readers there are
many books with large type, live
ly pictures and—what is -more
important—good stories. These
often come in groups from pub
lishers. One of the best of these
is Harper’s I-Can-Read Books,
and here Little Bear leads the
procession. This year we have
LITTLE BEAR’S VISIT ($1.95).
Little Bear just goes to visit his
grandparents, who feed him,
play with him, tell him stories,
but you will be surprised how
satisfying that can be to young
children who like to find some-
...... cnuaren wno like to tind some-
and PUPPY DOG TALES by thing familiar and “just like me”
Nancy and Aldren Watson . Live-I in a book. For the more adven-
Jy, amusing drawings illustrate
old nursery rhymes, familiar and
not so well known. As an exam
ple of the latter,
“Hoddley, poddley, puddle and
frogs.
Cat's are to marry the poodle
dogs;
Cats in blue jackets and dogs in
red hats,
What will become of the mice
and the rats?”
Several new books celebrate
Christmas. Joan Walsh Anglund
whose small books with quaint
drawings and heart-warming sen
timents have had a great success
(and not only with children)
gives us this year CHRISTMAS
IS A TIME FOR GIVING ($1.75).
This is just as simple and appeal
ing as the earlier books.
Rivalling the above in popular-
turous there is LITTLE CHIEF
by Syd Hoff ($1.95). This little
Indian was too young to go hunt
ing with the tribal warriors, but
left on his own, he has a big ad
venture and comes home a hero.
Big and beautiful is the
GRANDMA MOSES STORY
reproduced pictures by Grandma
reproduced picture by Grandma
Moses are accompanied with ap
propriate stories and poems by
such well known-authors as Rob
ert Frost, Laura Ingalls Wilder,
Miriam Mason, James Russell
Lowell. For introduction there is
a biographical sketch of Grand
ma Moses. Children who like to
hear about how things were when
their elders were young will find
this an endearing book.
Also beautiful is SING FOR
CHRISTMAS by Opal Wheeler
($5.95). This gives music and ac
companiment for twenty-four
favorite Christmas carols.. Ac
companying each song is the his
tory of how it came to be written
or a bit of background on the
tim.3s. There are lovely illustra
tions by Gustaf Tenggren in a
soft, lithographic technique, many
of them in color. Another music
book that will have a wide ap
peal is THE POOH SONG BOOK
($3.95). This contains “the Hums
of Pooh” from the popular book
by A. A. Milne and also fourteen
songs from WHEN WE WERE
VERY YOUNG( formerly pub
lished separately. All have musi-
ckl accompaniment for the mel
odies and appropriate decorations
by E. H. Shepard.
For older children there are
horse stories, mysteries, books of
fact and fiction. If you are sel
ecting Christmas presents for
young relatives you do not know
too well, one way out is a good
collection.
ALFRED HITCHCOCK’S
HAUNTED HOUSEFUL ($3.95)
will please most children from
eight to twelve, a fat volume of
non-gory mysteries and intrigu
ing ghost stories. Not written by
Hitchcock, who only contributes
the introduction, these are on the
mild side.
READERS’ DIGEST TREAS
URY FOR YOUNG READERS
($5.95) is aimed at about the
same age group and is as miscel
laneous as the magazine itself.
Bits of biography, history, science
and stories are mixed with
games and jokes. It might do as
a gift for a family of children.
Not quite so new but of more
sustained quality is the TEEN
AGE TREASURY OF GOOD
HUMOR edited by Seon Man-
ley ($4.95). This fat volume in
troduces a new generation to
Archie the Cockroach and other
fine bits from the twenties and
thirties. It gives savory samples
of the work of Robert Benchley
and James Thurber, and also
presents some of the gayer mo
ments of classic authors such as
Shakespeare, Dickens Charles
Lamb. ’

"WE LIKE TO THINK,.
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 pockets, more good citizens
coming here to live . . .
During the past year a dozen or more drives have been
held hpe 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 . . .
News of all this appears regularly in the columns of
this newspaper and we like to think that The Pilot lends
a hand in such good causes.

\\/'ITH two exceptions, all the
' ' columns from now till
Christmas in these Bible studies
will be concerned with one ques
tion and its several answers: By
what means does a Christian
grow? Up to now we have been
thinking in what
parts or activities
or attitudes of his
life a Christian
grows; now we'
try to see what
makes that growth
possible, how it is
done.
We must re
in;—■!:<— —— member always
Dr. Foreman that it is God who
is the Giver of everjf good and
perfect gift, that it is God who
works in us “both to will and to
do” what is pleasing in his sight.
But we must remember a'so that
“Grow” is used in the imperative,
as a command, in the New Testa
ment. These next few weeks be
fore the New Year vvili give us
a chance to think how we can
obey that command. If you want
to keep it, use it!
Some people, reading Jesus'
parable of the Talents, are both
ered by it. Why was the man's
poor little one talent taken awhy
from him, and why, oh why was
it given to the man with ten tal
ents alieady?—Maybe Jesus’ par
ables are not all to be taken
literally, but they all mean some
thing. The meaning of this par
able is two-fold, positive and
negative. Positively: If you want
to keep it, use it! Negatively:
What you do not use, you may
not keep. It is pretty plain
that Jesus cannot be taken liter
ally and make sense. It is not
true that if you want to keep a
skyrocket, set it off. It is not true
that if you want to keep a doUar
you must spend it. But it is cer
tainly true in the mental and
spiritual realm. Do you have a
good head for mathematics. If
you want to keep it that way,
don’t give up your math, keep
with it right on through school.
Do you have a gift for friend
ship? It will grow in proportion
as you make friends. Do you have
faith in God? If you want to keep
It, use it.
Hindrances
The Christian word for using
what you have, in God’s service
and for the help of your fellow-
man, is Stewardship. That word
has come to have, in many peo
ple’s minds, the sound of money.
A good steward, we are told, is
one who tithes his income, is
generous with the less fortunate,
and so on. But while that is good,
it is not the only kind of steward
ship. Time, gifts and aptitudes,
skills of any .good kind, are equal
ly'the concern of the good stew
ard of the gifts of God. And of
all such things,, it is true that
what you do not use you may
not keep.
Take the Pharisees, for ex
ample. They had everything,
learning, leisure, the Word of God
in the Scriptures of which they
thought so highly. They had
enough to be what they thought
they were, but were not: the spir
itual leaders of Israel. They be
came enemies of the Son of God.
His most outright attacks on any
class of persons were aimfid at
the Pharisees. Why, with all their
opportunities, did they sink so
low? The reader of Matthew 23
wiU find more answers than one.
Hj^ocrisy, self-righteousness,
pride, possessiveness and sancti
moniousness are all there.
Day-by-Day Choices
So—unless we wish to follow the
Pharisees’ tragic road—if we
want to grow as Christians, then
we shall have to use, as Chris
tians responsible to our Father
in heaven, whatever gifts aud op
portunities He sends us, in a Chris
tian spirit and for Christian ends.
This cannot be done by one great
effort of decision. It is rarely in
a lifetime that we make tremen
dous, dramatic, crucial choices.
Most of the time we just go from
day to day making small deci
sions all the time. The impor
tance of these day-by day deci
sions and choices is greater than
some of tfs think. A minister be
gins his course as a minister by
a great decision to spend his iife
in God’s service through the
church. But it has happened
sometimes that the man’s day-
by-day choices were self-centered
and self-indulgent, until like the
Pharisees the last state of the
man was worse than the first.
For high and for low, the rule is
stern: What you do not use, you
may not keep.
