THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1962 THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina Page THREE Some Looks At Books By LOCKIE PARKER IT'S A BIG CONTINENT by Ben Lucien Buxnian (McGraw- Hill $4.95). It’s sure a big conti nent,” remarked lanky Dust Bowl as they stood on the pier at Key West. “Been all over it—anywhere^ people that ain’t in their right' mind go to, that’s me/’ So Bur- man was unable to resist the in vitation to travel a bit with Dust Bowl in his ancient plane. As Dust Bowl picked up odd jobs for his plane from Mexico to the Arctic Circle, Burman himself collected tall stories and racy characters. The first stop was Okefenokee swamp, chiefly inhabited by alli gators and Hard-Shell Baptists. Its products were moonshine and good yams. Dust Bowl left Eur- raan to explore the swamp with a local guide, said he’d pick him up in two weeks and added, “If you ain’t back then. I’ll get a alli gator and ride out looking for your body.” There were moments when this did not seem unlike ly to Burman as when he stepped on the Trembling Earth or when the little boats propeller was smashed against a cypress stump. You can also penetrate with Burman deep into the Southwest and meet the drawling natives of Death Valley “where the earth is so hot the lizards hop about on pogo sticks to avoid burning their feet.” He and Dust Bowl went to the Bahamas and consorted with their friendly but su'erstitious inhabitants, thus adding some choice bits to Burman’s collection. What a wonderful time he and Mark Twain might have had swapping tall tales. They went north, too, following the St. Lawrence to the Gulf, talk ed to fishermen, lumbermen, trappers, prospectors and to the Eskimos trading at a Hudson Bay Store. You may think you have travelled over a bit of the conti nent yourself, but you will find here some unexpected corners. Exploring them yourself might be a bit rugged, but you can have fun doing it vicariously with Mr. Burman. He has the gift of repro ducing in words, sights and sounds and tk*s flavor of a differ ent life. DUST IN THE LION'S PAW by Freya Stark (Harcourl $6.75). This is travel, too, but of a less happy kind, for these are the memoirs of Freya Stark’s war experiences. She was employed by the British government to us her knowledge of Arabiand the Arabs to coun teract Nazi propaganda in the Middle East; later she was sent to the United States to explain from platform and press the Brit ish position on the controversial Palestine question. Made up largely of letters and extracts from a diary she kept, the book lacks the compelling flow of her wonderful travel nar ratives, but it does give a moving picture of the problems faced by a small group of courageous peo ple in an area of war that was necessarily secondary. She also shares with us her personal re actions so candidly that you un derstand the exhilaration the challenge brought even when things looked darkest. 'Then there are fine descriptions of the coun try and Arab life. Her visit to Yemen whereshe showed films to the Sultan’s harem and coinrt- ed local dignitaries is a good story in itself. THE WHISPERING LAND by Gerald Durrell (Viking $3.95). While you are travel-minded, do not overlook this trip to Patago nia. Gerald Durrell, zoologist and collector of animals for zoos or mst for himself, writes about his experiences with such verve and '’harm that you seem to know his ■'trange fauna as well as your own household pets. This time his destination was a new continent with stranger than ever creatures. Arriving in Euenos Aires, he had a terrific ‘ime getting' his eauinment through customs: butwit h the aid of two'beautiful girls, he final- W aot it cleared and set off for Patagonia to film pensuins, not forgetting to take the girls along. Things got increasingly rugged as they progressed, but eventual ly they found an immense gath erings of penguins “stretching to the furthest horizon where they twinkled black and white in the heat haze.” Dazed at first by their numbers and their raucous voices, he decided to concentrate on one ^amily “the Joneses,” of whose horn life he gives us an intimate account. One fascinating aspect of this book is that it introdyces one to several new animals, for the fauna of South America are un like those of our own continent, or the lions and tigers of literature. There were guanacos and rheas on the pampas, macaws and seri- emas in the tropical fdrest, oce lots and peccaries. Then there was his prize specimen, the very rareba by Geoffrey’s cat, that looked so dewey-eyed and inno cent and bit and scratched so fiercely. Life with Gerald Durrell and his creatures is never dull, and this book is more than up to standrad. Illustrated, of course.

COLOR TV ANTENNAS CORNELL’S MOBILE RADIO AND TV SERVICE 2-Way Radio Operated All Makes, All Models U. S. No. 1 Manly OX 5-6395 JlStf SYLVA by Vercors (Putnam $4.00). Some years ago David Gar nett wrote an enchanting story called “Lady into Fox.” This equally enchanting story reverses the process and tells of a fox changing into a lady. This is a longer story; for it is quite an undertaking to make a real lady out of a fox—one who will'pass muster in county society. The physical change was quicK enough, just a sudden miracle at the gate of Albert Richwick’s gar den where the hounds had chased fox. The hounds were completely baffled. So was Richwick—well, almost A rather fussy bachelor, he'had stepped out, hoping to rescue the fox—he disapproved of fox hunt ing—and he suddenly found he had an entirely different kind of creature on his hands, a naked girl, scratched and bruised but quite pretty. When he pulls her out of the hedge, she snarls, scratches, bites. The subsequent development of their relations, and of the little vixon herself is told with humor and a subtle probing of our beliefs as to what is human. There are touches of irony, too, as when Richwick hopefully reads Freud, to find out how to give Sylva some inhibitions. Good entertain ment and stimulates speculation. "WE LIKE TO THINK .,.

To Make A Home Lesson for February 11, 1962 '^HE English language is one ^ of very few that have a word for home. Other languages have words meaning family, or house, but not home. It is a Christian word, though we did not so much invent it as in herit it from our mother-reli gion, the Jewish faith. The Bible does not say much about the Christian home as such, for o! nr. Foreman course in Old Te.stament times there were no Christians, and in New Testament tinids no writer of those books had been born into a Christian honve. It was something quite new Nevertheless, as was just said we inherit the home, as an insti tution, from the Jews We ma\ well be grateful, for no other one thing is so fraught w’ ; • ■ -ir a.s a true home Father and Mother What does it take to make home? A modern popular p.^e wrote, and truly, that “it takes a heap of livin’ to make a house a home ” Another poet retorted that it takes a heap of piumbin and a heap o’ mortgage, and a heap of repairin’, and who knows what, to make a home. Indeed this is all true. But before the living and the mortgage and all the rest of it, two people must love each other and want a home together. Homes do not spring up by magic. They are planned. So the Old Testament Scriptures sel dom if ever speak of a home (in deed they didn’t have the word in the Hebrew language); but they do speak often of Father and Mother. Now a father and a mother do not by themselves make a home. They may both travel and live in suitcases, he may be away so much he seems almost like a stranger when he does come home. Father and mother may achieve nothing but a madhouse, and a divorce as the result of it. But where uicic is true lasting determined hopeful Christian love, there you have the right foundation for a home. This does not mean that only with a father-mother combination and partnership, can therey be a true home. A mother can'carry on~heavy though the burden be —when her husband is taken from her; and a father can carry on (though not so well as a mother) if he has to be fathqr and mother both. Indeed there are homes where there are no children, and where those who live there are not even related to one another For example, we have the well known story of how Jesus said ‘from the cross, “Son, behold thy Mother! ’ and “Mother, behold thy son!” And how John took Jesus’ mother Mary into his own home. John and Mary were no relation that we know of; yet we can be sure that their home was a real one. We do not know v/hal John’s wife said to this; but it is not likely that .Jesus, who must have known John’s home situa tion well, would have said what he did if he thought for a moment that John’s wife was a sel6sh woman. At the very threshold of Christian liistory, then, we see already what has been multiplied many times over and over:—the making of homes by, and for, t.hose whose own homes have beer broken by death and disaster. One of Jesus’ puzzling sayings is that one about Corban. The reader may wonder what that has to do with a home. Well, our Lord is speaking of a situation where 'a . man who should be contributing to the home where his father and mother live, makes excuse for not helping them by claiming that he gave the money to the church (as we would say). One point is certainly clear. The home has first claim among all our creditors For it takes money to support a home. This doesn’t mean we ali have to be rich. What it does mean—among other things—is that such matters as income, min imum wages, and so forth, are not just “economic” matters They affect people’s ability to make homes at all. A bus broke down in Louisville, Kentucky, last summer. It was flUed with mi grant workers headed for the cherry orchards of Michigan Those hard-working people had no money at all, and only the clothes on their backs. They are not cov ered by minimum wage laws How much of a home can you have on a migrant’s wages? To deny people a decent living is deny them life’s greatest blessing, a home.
