I m THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1962 THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina Page THI Some Looks At Books By LOCKIE PARKER MARINE! THE LIFE OF CHESTY PULLER by Burke Davis (Little. Brown $5.95). This is the story of a great soldier and combat leader who has become a Marine legend in his own life time. Writing it is a departure for Burke Davis who has hitherto written chiefly of the Civil War and its heroes. However his flair for research and his study of mili tary tactics stand him in good stead here; he has given us a forthright account of a soldier and his campaigns that range from guerrilla warfare in Haiti in the twenties to Guadalcanal and Korea. Of course, the hero of these is Lewis Puller who won more dec orations for valor in combat than any man in Marine Corps history, more than fifty in all—he keeps them now in a cigar box. Born in 1898 in a small town in Virginia, Lewis was brought up on tales of Confederate battles and always wanted to be a soldier. At school a favorite book was Caesar’s Gal lic Wars—in translation; he couldn’t wait to labor through the Latin. After high school, he had a year at Virginia Institute. Then the day after his twentieth birth day he joined the Marine Cores It was 1918 and he honed to set into the fighting, but World War II ended just as he finished train ing. When the Marine Corps was cut after the war, he and a friend volunteered for service in Haiti where American Marine officer were helping the local police put down guerrillas. There he fought forty actions and learned’a great deai about the relentlessness of guerrilla combat. His services were so noteworthy that they earned him what he dearly de sired, a permanent, commission in the, Marine Corps. There followed further professional training, fighting in Nicaragua, a happy marriage, fighting in the Pacife in World War II, some years of peace and finally Korea where he led the amphibious assault at In chon, marched on Seoul and held secure the escape route from Choi- sin Reservoir. told in the barracks. It is good to know that at a Marine reunion in 1960, he was cheered to the echo by two thousand Marines and a reconciliation was affected with the First Alarine Division Associ- aton. THE VANDERBILTS AND THEIR FORTUNES by Edwin P. Hoyt. (Doubleday $4.95). This de tails the life story of the daring, piratical, crafty Clorneel Van Der- bilt, a poor boy from Staten Is land, who became the world- famous Commodore Vanderbilt— greatest tycoon of his time. But that is only half the story. “In one generation,” says Mr. Hoyt, “a Vanderbilt had created the great fortune. In two the fam ily had become the richest in the world. In three generations the Vanderbilts had become the first family of America socially. But at the end of four generations, power had slipped from their their hands. . . the family had lost its place of leadership in the af fairs of America.”. The second part of the book tells of the Commodore’s descen dants down to the present gener ation. There were able, industri ous ones like William Henry Van derbilt, who has gone down in history as the author of the re mark, “The public be damned.” There were others like Cornelius Jeremiah Vanderbilt, the sickly, ;hiftless writer of bad checks, whose whole life lowered tne Vanderbilt prestige. TURN OF THE WHEEL by Reger Vailland (Knopf $3.50). Roger Vailland is one of the most distinguished writers in France today. His novels are short, in tense and serious. The French have great respect for the novel as a medium for expressing philo sophical views on the human con dition and the singular nature of man. This book has only three char acters • that matter. There are Milan and his wife, Roberte, bound together by what Stendhal called “amour-passion” for fifteen under this sea officer, Pellew of “The Indefatigable.” Pellew himself is no fiction. Some naval historians have call ed him “the finest sea’ officer of his age.” The author—a Lieuten ant-Commander of the Royal Navy—has delved deeply into Pellew’s history and assures u that the chief events and 9harac- ters in this book follow closelv the facts. On-this base he hfes built a fine story of the boy who went to se.i at thirteen and, after many ad ventures and many battles, rose td high position and great honors in his chosen profession. s, ' * S Bookmobile Schedule 7^3 years.

Perkins, organist and choirmaster of St. Luke’s Parish, Salisbury, will be heard in a' organ recital in Emmanuel Church on Sunday afternoon, February 18,. at 4 o’clock. The public is invited to the recital and, though an offering will be taken, there is no admission charge. Mr. Perkins is a native of Cor ning, N. Y., and studied at Syra cuse University and Union Theo logical Seminary in New York. He is one of the noted young organists and church musicians of our area and is being heard in the Sandhills for the first time. His program will include works by Bach, Haydn, Gabrieli, Franck and Virgil Thompson. The recital will last about one hour. frahkly and forcefully, and he be came a storm center in the Corps. He was scornful of too much schooling for officers, believed staff groups were too large and spent too much time at command posts and too little on the front line. He criticized our pqlicy on American prisoners of war. He was bitter in denouncing the Army training of enlisted men as inadequate and held this and poor leadership responsible for a large proportion of the casualties in Korea. The author makes it clear that Puller had acquired these convictions in the hard real ities of war fought by relentless enemies. Puller’s forced retirement at the age of fifty-seven was lament ed by many Marines. He was al ways popular with the enlisted men and tales of his courage and his ways of demanding much and giving much to his men are still serious young school teacher. She is fascinated by the candor with which they discuss passion and finds then- strong attachment to each other most romantic. But this attachment has passed its climax. Each in his own way is straining against the bond, not for sake of fhe stimulus of a new lover, but out of weariness of bondage. Vailland turns a harsh, white light on the situation as it develops. Roberte knows she has staked her all on this passion: Milan, now a man of forty, in true French fashion rationalizes his change of mood as he refuses to become involved in a new af fair.

The Bible says so, to be sure; but the Bible wo-lld not say so if it were not v.Tong to begin with The law says so; but the law can only make things illegal, it cannoi make them wrong. Our in stincts, when not perverted, warn us killing is wrong; but in stincts may be mistaken. There are many reasons Dr. Foreman why killing is wrong, a serious sin. Let us try to high-light one of these. This reasons goes to the heart of the matter. Killing is wrong because it destroys the noblest work of God. It is wrong because it de stroys what God has made, in deed the most valuable creature God made upon this earth. Woiih of man to his God Of aU creatures here on our planet, man is the only one with a soul. Put in another way, man is the only animal who is more than an animal. He is the only one who is capable of fellowship with God. He is the only one “in the image of God,” that is, thq only one who has—by God’s gift —the possibility of growing to be like God. Of all creatures he is the one who can be most helpfui to God. All God’s creatures no doubt are useful to him in some way or other for the carrying oni of the divine Purpose; but man alone can be aware of the pur poses of God, man alone can re ceive a revelation from God, man alone can pray. Jesus asked or one occasion what a man could give in exchange for his self. If he lOok the whole world in exchange Jesus said, but lost his self in the bargain, he would be the loser Somebody might interrupt- “Whom in the world are you de scribing? Most people, on the hoof as you might say, aren't a: noble as all that'” Quite true, 'ind nobody knows it better ♦tin- Jod. But men are tne creatures God went to infinite trouble to save. Men are the creatures about whom Jesus told his parable oi the one lost sheep, and the joy in the presence of the angels over even one repenting sinner In ancient times people did not think much of slaves, or women, or children. A woman had status only so far as her conne :'tion; with some man gave her a post tion in society. Children had n-' status till they were grown, and slaves had no status at all Jesus however, never “brushed off” any one He always had time for peo pie; poor people, stupid people, even bad people. When some little children were brought to him, his disciples tried to get rid of them The Master’s time was valuable, he could not afford to waste it' But Jesus rebuked his disciples, not the children. All. the modern keen interest in childhood, the study of growing personalities just at the very beginning of life, stems from the Christian view, which goes back to Jesus, that even babies are already persons To harm a child is to commit a crime against the future of man-' kind. Sins against persons This brings up another very obvious thought: Sins against per sons are the most serious kind. Once upon a time this was not understood. Men would be hanged for murder, they would be hanged for stealing a lamb. Nowadays stealing a lamb is petty theft, but murder is still murder, and in many states still receives the death penalty. This is not the place to argue about capital pun ishment, only to point out that it shows how after aU these cen turies, human life is still known to be the most important life on earth, and any damage to it a serious crime. But suppose I harm myself and myself alone? Isn’t that my af fair? It is your affair if you mean does it concern you. It is your affair if you think that harm you do to yourself injures no one else. You wouldn’t think of chopping your hand off, but if you did, the law would take you in charge. You have no right to injure your self,—by hatchet, alcohol, simple neglect or otherwise; much less to destroy yourself. You do not live alone, you are surrounded by others. Well and strong, you are a benefit to the community; in jured or dead by your own fault before your time, you are a bur den, you have turned your back on the human race, you have de faced God’s handiwork.
