Some Looks
At Books
By LOCKIE PARKER
Page THREE
THE FOX IN THE ATTIC by
Richard Hughes (Harper $4.50).
This is one of the important books
of a good season. Several English
critics have compared it to Tol
stoy. A veteran critic said recent
ly that a major novel must have
a moral problem. This has it. The
author is deeply concerned over
relations between the “I” and the
“not I,” on the effect nineteenth
century rationalism had on these
relations, what war does to them
and specifically the part they
play in the lives of his characters,
ranging from his mild young hero
to Adolph Hitler.
This philosophic background
does not prevent him from writ
ing a powerful narrative with a
touching romance of young love
and situations which hold the
reader. The characters have a
flesh-and-blood actuality and are
closely woven into both the plot
and the theme, so that there nev
er seems to be a superfluous word.
Augustine, a young Englishman
of the country gentry, is trying at
the beginning of the book to live
the life of a hermit because “any
relationship which involved one
human being constraining anoth
er repelled him.” Like the author
Augustine was born about 1900
trained for the British Army of
World War I, then went to Ox
ford and later to Central Europe.
In Augustine’s case, a tragic ac
cident shook him out of his her
mit phase. He makes a journey
to visit some distant relatives in
Bavaria. There in an almost medi
eval manor he finds people deep
ly resentful still of Germany’s de
feat, struggling with a shattered
economy and a shattered morale,
all more or less involved in some
scheme for reshaping their world.
He is near Munich when Hitler
makes his first abortive push for
power and then, fleeing, cowers
in a country attic, awaiting ar
rest.
This book is the first part of
a larger design to write what the
author has described as “a lone
historical novel of his own times
culminating in the Second World
War,” its title to be “The Human
Predicament.” It is a bold plar
but Richard Hughes has a depth
of insight, a sweep of vision and
a sure control of his medium that
should be equal to it.
THE SCIENCE OF DREAMS
by Edwin Diamond (Doubleday
$4.50). People who claim that
they never dream will be sur
prised to learn that not only does
everyone dream, but that every
one follows a universal pattern
of dreaming. Edwin Diamond
who is science editor of News
week, reports that studies hav.
proven that in an eight-houi
night of sleep, every individual
dreams approximately once every
ninety minutes.
Gone are the days of the non-
dregmer and men’s wild specula
tions about dreams. The thous
ands of experiments that have
been performed since the first
dream-monitoring experiment in
in 1952 have demonstrated that
there is a science of dreams and
sleep. In the past decade, using
a device for recording brain
that there are four distinct stages
of sleep; that dreaming occurs in
the lightest stage of sleep; that
each dream episode each night in
creases in length, the final dream
of the night often being four or
five times as long as the first; and
that about twenty per cent of the
night is spen* dreaming.
In addition to the many facts
which scientists have uncovered
about dreams, the author also dis
cusses the animistic beliefs of
primitive men, the dream inter
pretations of the early Egyptians
and Assyrians, the use of dreams
in “playing the numbers,” a com
parison of the dream theories of
the Iroquois Indians and Freud,
and many other psychological
and psychanalytical aspects of
dreams.
Written for the layman, this is
a very readable book on a subject
that has intrigued human specu
lation since men began to think at
all.
THE CASE OF THE EXTRA
GRAVE by Christopher Bush
(Macmillan $3.25). This English
author writes the classic detective
story with no literary frills nor
plunges into the field of psychol
ogy. He presents a case, looks for
clues, makes his deductions. This
is a beauty.
The modest but astute Ludovic
Travers of the Broad Street De
tective Agency is called by an in
surance company to solve a jewel
robbery but asked to keep it
quiet. It seems that not only jew
els are missing but the young
wife of the middle-aged manager
of an elegant and exclusive jewel
firm. That looks plain enough but
the first clues they turn up lead
nowhere. It is Travers’s colleague,
the industrious Hallows, who first
turns up something useful.
Even then you are in for plen
ty of surprises. Just as the puz
zle seems certain to be solved,
things take an unexpected turn.
The reader has here a few hours
of most engrossing reading.
DOG SOLDIERS, The Famous
Warrior Society of the Cheyenne
Indians by Glen Dines and Ray
mond Price (Macmillan $1.95).
This is one of a group of bookr
on the Frontier West designed for
boys from eight to twelve. Fac
tual, they are copiously illustra
ted in color with drawings that
combine plenty of action with
careful attention to authentic de
tail. An extra wide page gives the
pictures room to convey the fine
sweep of the western plains.
The Dog Soldiers were the most
honored of all the Cheyenne war
societies; the bravest four carried
the famous “dog Rone.” In criti-
.al moments of battle, a carrier
of this rope would drive in the
picket-pin at its end and thus
tether himself to a soot where he
would die rather than retreat.
The authors describe one such
battle with the Pawnees. Prepara
tions and equipment for the war
raid are described in some detail
as well as the battle and the cele
bration afterward.
Other books in this group in
dued “Buffalo Land,” “Silver and
Lead,” and “Long Knife,” a story
waves, scientists have discovered of the U. S. Cavalry of 1860.
"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 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.

t?'^HIEF” is a bad word. No-
body wants to be called one.
Even a thief himself will complain
about other thieves. “I’ve been
robbed!” is a common complaint
uttered by those
who habitually
rob others. To be
sure, there are
twisted minds,
busy in devis
ing dishonest
schemes, and
proud of their
success when
they do work.
Dr. Foreman But then there
are twisted minds clever in all
ways of crime and sin. What we
can call normal people don’t like
to be called thieves. It is a fatal
objection to a man that he is dis
honest. Nothing else makes up
for the lack of honesty. “He is
a generous, hard-working man—
but you have to watch him every
minute.” “He’s a pleasant gentle
man, but don’t have any business
dealings with him.” Those are not
“recommendations” any of us
would enjoy over-hearing about
ourselves.
But are we honest?
Nevertheless, such is the
strange nature of the self-deceiv
ing human mind, that it is easy
to “kid” ourselves into thinking
we are more honest than we
really are. One way we deceive
ourselves is by taking refuge in
what is undeniably a fact: It does
make a difference where the
money is taken from. It is worse
to take money from a child than
from a man big enough to fight;
it is worse to take money from a
poor man than from a rich one.
Of course; but stealing is still
stealing; even if not all forms of
stealing are equally bad, all forms
are bad. It is not true, for ex
ample, that if the person from
whom we withhold what is their
rightful due is rich enough,—
maybe not a person at all but a
corporation or a government,
then it’s all rifdit to do them for
all we can get by with. jesu. on
one occasion gave a strong h !i
to the Pharisees that they were
cheating the Roman government
by not paying taxes. Saint Paul
(Romans 13:7) found it necessary
to instruct his fellow-Romans to
pay their taxes. One of the com
monest forms of theft in Amer
ica is beating the government out
of tax money. Business firms
would even make a joke of it; ex
pense accounts were known as
‘swindle sheets.”
Another common form of steal
!ng is to take money from people
who are helpless. To be sure, few
grown Americans would actually
take money from a child; but
some Americans have slow and
creaky consciences when it comes
to taking advantage of their posi
tion by charging much too much.
Those price-fixing cases we all
read about were like that. A city
would have to pay enormous sums
for electrical equipment, because
the bids were “rigged” and not
competitive. A landlord will
charge exorbitant rent for his
property, aU because he knows
the tenant has nowhere to go. A
union will charge its members,
or a surgeon his patients, or a
plumber his customers, with a bill
that is all out of reason; just be
cause the workman or patient or
customer has no choice but to
pay.
In good oause
The incident of the money
changers in the Temple (Mark
11:15-19) illustrates two forms of
stealing at once. The temple taxes
had to be paid in a special cur
rency. These money-men would
exchange (say) Roman money
into temple money, charging a
very high fee for the service. Now
they were cheating the public on
sacred premises; but stealing is
stealing no matter where it’s
done. In America uncounted sums
are lost every year in gambling
devices in certain church “fes
tivals” and “picnics” and the like,
not to mention double-priced white
elephants at church bazaars. It’s
all for a good cause, we are told,
and even prominent public lead
ers set a bad example of gambling
even if it is for the benefit of a
cancer fund or some charitable
organization. But it’s still steal
ing, more is lost than won. Or to
take a different example: How
many churches pay their janitors
and other servants even the mini
mum standard wages? A church
has no more right to underpay
employees than any individual
has. Keeping what belongs to
people out of their hands is still
stealing.
