THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina
Some Looks
At Books
By LOCKIE PARKER
HIDDEN CHANNELS OF THE
MIND, by Lousa E. Rhine
(Sloane, $5.00). For fact that is
stranger-than fiction Mrs. Rhine
now has come forth with a popu
lar commentary on her rich col
lection of what rightly may be
termed the most incredible of our
mental capacities. This is a study
of paranormal experiences, com
monly called “extrasensory per
ception.”
The Laboratory of Parapsy
chology which her husband, Dr.
J. B. Rhine, directs at Duke Uni
versity long has specialized in
the difficult task of assessing
“ESP” ability, and in the process
has acquired an imposing collec
tion of revelations from readers
of Dr. Rhine’s works who person
ally have experienced telepathic
communion and clairvoyant
knowledge through means clearly
beyond the five sensory channels.
Sixteen chapters take the read
er through the whole range of
ESP, from “hunches” to outright
visionary experiences; and sever
al of them venture also into the
allied topics of puzzling physical
effects and evidence for survival
after bodily death.
Premonitions make up a pro
portionate share of the assorted
exaipples. This is widely held to
be the most incredible of our
psychic abilities, yet it is not
without razor-sharp evidence—
like the case (p, 199) of the moth
er who awoke with a dream that
the chandelier had fallen onto the
baby’s crib, while outside the
rain fell and the clock pointed to
4:35 a. m.
Precautiously she arose and re
moved the baby, looked out on a
moonlight night, returned to bed,
and later (at exactly 4:35!—and it
was raining) heard the crash of
the chandelier as the coincidence
(?) happened.
The book is replete with inci
dents of this and other kinds
which have -been contributed to
the Rhines during the past three
decades by people in all walks of
life who have followed the more
serious pursuits of Duke’s unique
laboratory. They are many and,
varied; but for the reader who
wishes more pie and less topping
Mrs. Rhine also interrelates all of
them with a running discussion of
their scientific import.
As Dr. Rhine states in his fore
word to the book, this case-study
is not presented as final proof of
the fact of ESP (that is strictly
the job of accurate and formal
ized laboratory research), but as
a serviceable aid toward the lab
oratory task of scientifically
studying “how ESP operates”
when it thus clearly appears to
cut across our more conspicuous
channels of sensory communica
tions.
For any layman but a dogged
and ironclad sceptic, to read this
book cannot help being an adven
ture.
—W. E. COX
forgery is in the great tradition
of social comedy, comparable to
Evelyn Waugh and Joyce Cary.
Its setting is London in the thir
ties and particularly the Blooms
bury set, the Bohemian artists and
intellectuals. “Every character in
this novel,” says the author, “is
based, though for the most part
very remotely, on a real one. . .
Every incident and every word of
dialogue is fiction.”
The central character, Matthew
Gorer, is a tremendous fellow—
to his devotees he was “the God,
the Prophet and the Suttan to
boot.” The last was added because
of his record with women. Gorer
was one of those artists who talk
even more impressively than they
paint, and his iconoclastic views
on bourgeois conventions, ethics
and religion were repeated and
cherished by his following. Then
a teen-age girl named Cassie
came into his life, a hero worship
er asking only to serve him. But
Cassie was intensely feminine,so
she also wanted to tidy up his
house and life a bit.
Then was Cassie indirectly re
sponsible for his project of forg
ing a Holbein? Well, one thing
leads to another, and she certain
ly got under his skin as no wom
an before had ever done, espe
cially when she left him. Even
his devotees saw a marked
change, a faltering. Altogether
this is a brilliant study of the in
terplay of characters on each oth-
done with keen appreciation
of human susceptibilities and very
little emotion.
Arrest Made, Another Warrant Drawn
After Flimflam Crew Cheats Old Man
Three men claiming to be dis
abled veterans used high-pres
sure salesmanship on an 82-year-
old man nehr Robbins one day
last week, got his signature on
what purported to be a “gift cer
tificate” and left him instead
with a receipt for $184.50 for
years and years of magazine sub
scriptions.
E. L. Williamson of Route 2,
Seagrove, who can’t see or get
around very well, felt in his
checkbook after the trio had left
and found only two blank checks
there, instead of the three he
knew he had had.
The aged man, who lives alone,
summoned his son, Earl, who
I lives near by, and Earl notified
Deputy Sheriff I. D. Marley. Pay
ment was stopped at the bank
on the check they felt sure Wil
liamson had been flimflammed
into signing.
The next day Marley picked up
three young women at the Moore-
Randolph county line, on infor
mation they had been trying to
cash such a check at various
places in Seagrove. Failing of suc
cess, they were heading back into
Moore. One of them, who said
she was Susan Taylor, 29, of Dan
ville, Va., had the check in her
possession and soon landed in
Moore County jail, charged with
false pretense
The next day one W. C. Mer
rick, who said he was field man
ager for National Literary Pub
lications, Inc, of Jackson, Miss.,
temporarily headquartered in
High Point, drove up in a 1960
Cadillac to make the woman’s
$500 bond, in cash.
Information they gave concern
ing the other crew members was
scanty, according to Deputies
Marley and H. H. Grimm, assist
ing in the case. However, on the

years) True Story, 72; True Con

THE GREAT FORGERY by
Edith Simon (Little, Brown $5.95)
WHAT AM I BID? by Geof
frey Johns (Doubleday $3.95).
This is a slighter novel about
some equally dubious goings- on,
in the antique business. Frankly
a picaresque tale, the story re
counts the steps in the rise of
Willy Shaun from the rag and
bone business in a country town
to prosperity and distinction as
one of England’s leading antique
dealers. Nothing illegal, just a bit
craftier than his competitors.
As the author himself, after
trying one or two other occupa-
.tions, has become an antique
dealer, we take it that his chart-
acters are drawn from life. Cer
tainly he shows considerable fa
miliarity with what goes on be
hind the scenes at auctions. His
accounts of “the ring” and th._
dealers’ tricks on each other are
richly comic, as is the scene
where Willy seizes the opportu
nity, when sudden indigestion
has given him a greenish pallor,
to ask an old lady for a glass of
water and wangle entrance to her
cottage to get a good look at £
probably rare piece of Chippen
dale.
This story of a successful art ia.
MUCH PULPWOOD
Eight of the 12 states which
produced more than a million
tons of wood pulp used in the
manufacture of paper and board
in 1960 were in the South . They
were Alabama, Florida, Georgia,
Louisiana, Mississippi, North Car
olina, South Carolina and Virgm-
"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 ineans 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 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 . . .
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.

ed, the receipt issued to William
son and the check, a warrant has
been drawn for one Richard Gar-
rity, address unknown, on false
pretense.
Williamson told the officers he
had refused to subscribe to any of
the magazines, despite the persis
tence of the trio of salesmen, who
badgered him for more than an
hour, and also despite the fact
that they said it was all for the
benefit of veterans’' hospitals.
The “gift” he would receive for
his signature, they said would be
something very fine, tax exempt,
which he could use to pay his
county and all other taxes.
But if the subscriptions listed
on the receipt were the real
thing, and had gone through a
legitimate channel, Williamson
would have had reading matter in
an interesting variety, some of it
lasting till he would be about 100
years old. On the list were the

Consultations by appointment on Saturdays
A YOUNG man was about to b •
^ ‘ dismissed from college, not
for any particular rule that he
had broken, but for general worth
lessness. His mother could not
understand it. She wrote letters
she sent telegrams, she tied the
dean up in het
telephone mono
logues. So finally
the dean invited
her up for a con
ference with aU
concerned. There
they all sat. the
boy himself and
his mother, sev-
eral of his teach-
Dr. Foreman grs, the cream of
his fraternity brothers, the ath
letic coach, even the president of
the college. Everybody told about
what they had done for the boy,
how they had tried to urge him
on, stimulate his ambition, see
that he studied, and so forth.
Everybody seemed to be steamed
up over the case except the boy
himself, who sat through it alJ
like a lump of putty. Finally the
president had to ask him: “Well,
you have heard what every one
else has done. Isn’t it about time
you did something for yourself?”
Imperatives
That is a true story, but it is
also a parable of, the Christian
hfe. God will not ido everything
for you. He does a great deal, He
has gone to infinite pains for your
benefit. His Spirit comes to make
a home in you. Yet the Holy Spirit
wiU never do for you what you
might do for yourself,—the Holy
Spirit is not a substitute for your
own wiU-power. The New Testa
ment is filled with joyful testi
mony to what God has done for
us, but it also very often gives ua
commands. The Holy Spirit wU)
no more take our tests for us than
that poor indulgent mother could
pass her shiftless son’s examina
tions for him. “Make every ef
fort,” Peter says (2 Peter 1:5)
to buUd up all the elements of a
strong Christian character.
Self-Control Neodod
No part of the New Testament
suffers nftre from awkward ex
pressions in the 1611 translation
(the “King James”) than this
great passage in 2 Peter. Among
other things, one of the key-words
is tucked out of sight by a wrong
translation. In verse six it is not
“temperance” Peter means; the
Greek word means literally self-
control, a stronger word by far
than temperance. It means hold
ing yourself in, not living like a
child that says and does whatever
suits him at the moment. It
means not getting angry when
you feel anger (if you Catch the
difference). It means keeping on
with a job if it has to be done, no
matter whether you feel like it
or not. It means, in short, not let
ting yourself get away from your
self. A car that goes “out of con
trol” cannot be steered. A life
out of control is not going to listen
to reason, there is no steering it.
A life of faith, virtue and knowl
edge would be a good life, would
it not? Yes, but Saint Peter sees
something else needed. Faith,
virtue and knowledge need to be
supplemented by self-control. A
life without this is like a fine car
without a driver.
Completion
On the other hand, m this de
scription of the ideal Christian
life, the last word is not self-con
trol. We may have met people
who were long on self-control but
short on influence, because they
were so intent (so to speak) on
holding themselves in, holding
themselves down, that they forgot
to shine. Steadfastness (dogged
persistence), godliness (Peter’.s
word means reverence, a sense
of the Presence of God), brother
ly affection and love, all are
needed to complete self-coiiiroi.
The good life, you see, is not one
single good quality off by itself.
People wiU pick out some one’s
virtue arid they will rate other
people as “good” or “bad” de
pending on how they stack up
against this one single yardstick
of comparison. Well, history is
filled with warnings at this point
Don’t rate somebody high just be
cause he has one outstanding
good trait. The emperor Nero was
generous with his friends and he
loved music. Genghis Khan, who
laid his world waste, wa.": a man
who knew no fear, .Adolf Hitler
was (by intention, many think)
a patriotic man. Stalin was very
persistent. Satan himself is an
untiring worker. One virtue alone
is like a lone corn.stalk in a big
field.
