GENE MAPLES
We don’t object to snow, which
makes longleaf pines and broad-
leafed magnolias even more al
luring than usual. Our obection is
to a more mundane secondary ef
fect of snow—the footgear requir
ed to combat it.
We were horrified last week
end to find eight pairs of shoes,
from size three sneakers to size
eight knee boots, steaming , in a
neat row by a wall heater; all had
been worn by two children dur
ing a single day.
One happy note—at least the
sopping wet shoes and boots were
lined up neatly, not slung in hap
hazardly through the back door
—the customary procedure.
Before Seniors Gene Maples
and John Barry graduate from the
Pinehurst High School , this
spring, we want to commend
them on their fine job of report
ing the Pinehurst School news.
The boys take turns each week
compiling and writing the news,
which they deliver promptly each
Tuesday morning, before school,
to meet our early “Pinehurst
Page” deadline.

SANTHA RAMA RAU
Forum to Hear
Discussion of
India and World
Santha Rama Rau, one of the
most important contemporary
women of letters, will be the fea
tured speaker at the fourth meet
ing of the Pinehurst Forum next
Thursday evening, January 25, at
the Pinehurst Country Club. Miss
Rama Rau will discuss “India on
the World Scene,” a subject with
which she is uniquely familiar
and which is of particular interest
and importance to Americans and
all of the free world at this time.
Born in Madras, India in 1923,
Santha Rama Rau is the daugh
ter of the distinguished Indian
diplomat. Sir Benegal Rama Rau.
She spent her formative years
amid the changing scenes of her
father’s diplomatic stations in
England, the capitals of Europe,
and South Africa.
After receiving her early edu
cation in London, Miss Rama Rau
returned home to India where she
traveled as much as she could and
wrote for her country’s leading
newspapers, magazines and radio.
In 1941 she came to America to
attend Wellesley College. Follow
ing graduation, her first book,
“Home to India,” was published
in 1945. It describes her discovery
of herself as an Indian after ten
years of schooling in the West .
In 1947 Miss Rama Rau went
to Tokyo with her father, who
had been appointed India’s first
Ambassador to Japan, and also
to teach English at the famous
Freedom School there. When her
father became Ambassador to the
United States she came with him,
but returned soon after to the Far
East where she traveled exten
sively. Two more of her books
were then published, “East of
Home” and “This is India.”
Two recent books, “View from
the Southeast” and “My Russian
Journey” have added to her sta
ture as an accomplished writer
and observer of life in many parts
of the world. She is a frequent
contributor to such magazines as
The New Yorker, Holiday, Made
moiselle and The Saturday Re
view, for which she wrote an ar
ticle on “Women in Asia” for its
special edition on Asia.
Her adaptation of E. M. For
ster's “A Passage to India” for the
stage was an instantaneous suc
cess in England and ran for eleven
months. It will be presented in
America under the auspices of
the Theater Guild.
Miss Rama Rau is married to
Faubion Bowers, American
writer, and they travel frequent
ly to Europe and Asia. They have
a young son, Jai.
Members of the Forum and
their guests are reminded that
Miss Rama Rau’s lecture will be
gin at 8:45 follbw;ing the usual
Thursday evening buffet dinner
at the Country Club. Capt.
George F. Shearwood, president
of the Forum and himself a noted
world traveler, will preside.
