Some Looks
At Books
By LOCKIE PARKER
THE RICH NATIONS AND
THE POOR NATIONS by Bar
bara Ward (Norton $3.75). Bar
bara Ward has the gift of writing
about the complicated world of
international economics and pol
itics in a most clear and persu
asive way. So much is covered in
this small book, such a sweep of
time and space that, carried
along by her engaging style, you
feel you have gone almost too
fast and must take a more delib
erate look.
She begins with the statement
that we must all be aware of “the
fact that we live in the most ca
tastrophically revolutionary age
that men have ever faced.” Ac
cording to her, we face not one
but several revolutions, of which
she elects to discuss four: (1) the
revolution of demand for equal
ity, equality of men and of na
tions; (2) the emphasis of materi
al progress, the insistence on a
better world here and now; (3)
the population explosion; and (4)
the application of science and
saving “to all the economic pro
cesses of our life.”
No one can be unaware these
days of the emergence of dozens
of small nations. demanding
equality in the forum of the
United Nations, intent on raising'
local standards of living, and hav
ing sometimes naive faith that
they can do this by quickly build
ing factories and power plants.
Mrs. Ward explains why it is not
this easy. The structure of her ar
gument is clearly Rostov’s “Five
Stages of Economic Growth,” but
she will reach a larger audience
than Rostov, as she foregoes
tables of statistics and writes
with persuasive eloquence.
She points out that these
troublesome new nations acquir
ed their notion of human equal
ity, better standards of living, the
potency of science by contact
with Western Nations through
colonialism and trade. We set it
going; now what are we going to
do about it? She explains that the

conditions under which most of
them are trying to make the jump
into the modern world are not so
favorable as those under which
Western Europe and the United
States made their decisive ad
vances in the nineteenth centimy,
or even Russia in the twentieth.
She discusses the necessity for
each country itself saving from
income to get capital for effec
tively applying science, educa
ting skilled people, lifting agri
culture above the subsistence
level, providing roads and ports
and, in short, laying the ground
work so indispensable before a
country can achieve the “break
through” to sustained growth.
With a husband who is Commis
sioner of Development in Ghana,
she is quite aware of the difficul
ty of doing this in countries
where the mass of people are liv
ing now at subsistence level.
The Communist answer to all
this is presented adequately, and
she points out its great attraction
for people in a hurry. Speakin^g
to a Canadian audience—this
book was originally a series of
lectures—she urges Canada, Aus
tralia, and the nations of Western
Eiurope to give more thought to
the matter, shoulder their share
of the burden and do something
about it before it is too late and
we find ourselves living in a
world we do not like. She credits
the United States with generous
financial support but feels that
this has not always been wisely
applied.
PIPPIN'S JOURNAL, qt Rose
mary for Remembrance by Rohan
O'Gradiy (MacmUlan $3.50). It has
been a long time since we have
had a tale like this one—unblush
ing romance and adventure,
echoes of Robert Louis Stevenson
and the Gothic novels. There is
an ancient curse, a lost treasure,
monstrous villains and a fair but
wayward heroine. These worn
stage properties, expertly man
aged, result in first-class enter
tainment.
When the Canadian heir of
'Montrolfe Hall comes to his de
crepit* Georgian mansion, the
door is opened by “an old, old
crone bent double with age.”
John Montrolfe’s efforts to se
cure more servants and men to
repair the thirty-room house are
frustrated by the villagers’ fear
of the haunted place. How John
himself almost succumbs to its
strange miasma, how his dreams
are haunted by a fifteen-year-old
girl from the eighteenth century,
how he reaches a crisis in his own
life and tries to right an ancient
wrong make a truly absorbing
story.
CASTLE DOR by Arthur QuU-
ler-Couch and Daphne du Maur-
ier (Doubleday $.4.95). This stems
from an even earlier romantic
tradition, that of the Middle
Ages. Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch,
editor of the Oxford Book of
Verse and once a leading literary
figure in Britain, lived in Corn
wall not far from the scene where
Tristan and Isolde kept their fatal
tryst. It was the darling project
of his later years to bring the leg
end to life in modern dress. This
is the novel he began and that
his young friend. Daphne du
Maurier, finished at the request
of his daughter.
The result is partly romance
and pEirtly antiquarianism. The
scholarly Quiller-Couch concen
trates much of his attention on
two elderly gentlemen, a Breton
notary and a Cornish doctor who
are eagerly looking for proofs of
the actual site ofdCing Mark’s cas
tle and the lovers’ trysting place,
while two contemporary lovers
get sporadic notice. After Daphne
du Maurier takes hold the mod
ern lovers do much better and the
story perceptibly picks up.
MISS POLLY'S ANIMAL
SCHOOL by Mary Elting; THE
SECRET CAT by Tamara Ki«
(Grosselt 59c each). These sturdy
little books are from a group de
signed for beginning readers.
Using not more than a hundred
different words, the authors have
developed real stories that chil
dren will enjoy. The books are
gaily illustrated with two-color
pictures.
“Miss Polly’s Animal School” is
modern. Miss Polly is teaching
the animal tricks to do on TV.
The seal and the kangaroo learn
to do them quite nicely. Biff the
Bear always does something clum
sy. How this results in Biff’s ul
timate triumph makes a tale with
much humor and slapstick.
“The Secret Cat” concerns a
prince and princess who want to
find a birthday present for the
queen. How the “secret cat” help
ed them is charmingly told. Both
author and illustrator have a de
lightful appreciation of cat nature
and of the bond between children
and their animal pets.

"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, ihore
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

Trustees of The Duke Endow
ment have appropriated $290,708
to 45 North Carolina and South
Carolina hospitals on the basis of
their charity work in the fiscal
year which ended September 30,
1961. Included was an appropria
tion of $2,764 to St. Joseph of the
Pines Hospital here.
According to Thomas L. Per
kins, chairman of The Endow
ment, the appropriation brings to
$1,155,282 the funds distributed

in operating expenses. Earlier ap
propriations, announced in Feb
ruary, amounted to $864,574 for
137 hospitals, including $4,738 fo’-
Moore Memorial Hospital at Pine-
hurst.
Marshall I. Pickens, secretary
of The Endowment and director
of the Hospital and Orphan sec
tions, added that this year’s ap
propriations represent an increase
of $159,378 over last year when
$995,904 was contributed to 178
hospitals. Those aided this year

cal year which ended September
30, 1960. The endowment assists
non-profit hospitals at the rate of
$1 per day for free days of bed
care.
Twenty-nine North Carolina
hospitals and 16 South Carolina
hospitals share in the current
$290, 708 distribution. Those in
North Carolina are receiving
$224,615, those in South Carolina,
$66,093.
Laurinburg Road
Reopening Today
T. C. Johnston, division engin
eer for the Eighth Highway Divi
sion, reports that the detour be
tween Aberdeen and Laurinburg
is^ being removed today.
A fire caused by firecrackers in
October, 1961, burned a bridge
along US 15-501 between Aber
deen and Laurinburg. State forces
have rebuilt the bridge to the
point that traffic is able to use
the structure.
Some work still remains around
site, and traffic should use cau
tion in approaching the area, Mr.
Johnston said.

Human Hogs
Lesson for March 18, 1962
ft^OVET” is a word that doesn’t
.sound sinful. It is often used
in perfectly respectable connec
tions, as when the King James
translation of 1 Cor. 12:31 has
Paul saying “Cov
et earnestly the
best gifts.” Cov
eting in the Tenth
Commandment,
however, does not
mean simply to
desire. It is not
itself a sin to de
sire to have some-
thing. All human
Dr. Foreman effort, indeed hu
man life itself, would grind to a
stop if nobody ever wanted any
thing. It is not a sin to want what
someone else has, if he is willing
to let you own it and if you pay
him a fair price.
What is greed?
Nevertheless greed is a sin, and
greed is a simple one-syllable
word that means covetousness but
sounds ugly too, like what it
stands for. If you have ever fed
pigs, you must have noticed how
they act at the trough. AU the hog
needs is just get his mouth into it,
but that’s not enough for him.
He wants to put both feet and
most of his face into it. He doesn’t
care what the other hogs do, he’s
strictly out for his own appetite.
It may be unfair to hogs (for this
writer has seen cats which were
just as greedy as any hog) but
the words hog and hoggishness
are used of human beings some
times, but neve?:as a compliment!
Now, what is to be greedy? As
was said just now, merely want
ing something is not necessarily
greedy. Greed is wanting, more
than my share, more than I need.
Getting more than one’s share,
more than one needs, is not greed.
The greed comes first; it is want
ing gone wUd, it is wanting with
out a particle of love.
“and I intend to squeeze it”
A distinguished critic, being
asked some years ago to give his
philosophy of life, responded, “The
world is my orange, and I intend
to squeeze it.” The man has been
converted since then, it is said,
but as he was then, he was mak
ing as frank a profession of greed
as a man could make. He re
vealed in that one sentence two
facts: 1. The greedy man thinks
he has a claim to everything in
sight, and if he sets his sights
high enough he can even think
the whole world is his orange
2. The greedy man lets nothing
stand in his way. Police depart
ments all over the world know
the connection between greed and
murder. More people are killed
from' motives of greed than from
hatred. Greed unchecked runs up
like a poison-plant into every kind
of crime.
Two kinds of human hog
The human hog comes in two
main varieties. One is the plain
or backlot variety. 'What he wants
are things, and he can go on piling
up things to the day of his death,
like the farmer in Jesus’ story
without giving proper thought to
what he can do with what he has,
in short with no real reason except
to make the pile bigger. Men who
get out their money boxes every
night and count the coins used to
be called misers. It would be hard
to find men like that today; but
the miser is still with us. Every
time there is an election to raise
taxes for schools, there are people
who will vote NO simply because
they have no children and don't
want to be taxed to help other
peoples’ children. Some people
collect money, some collect trash;
but if you’ve no plan to spend the
money wisely and generously, you
might as well collect junk.
Hogs of all soris
The other main variety of this
kind of man is the kind that hogs
something besides money. Some
people hog the limelight, they
want to be the center of every
scene and they don’t relish “scene-
stealers;” some hog notice in the
newspapers, and will die in bed
holding an old album of press
notices. Some are gluttons for
power; James and John were men
of this sort before association
with Jesus finally changed them.
They wanted to share the author
ity of Christ; they have their
counterpart in every church, men
and sometimes women who must
“run” the church or they are not
satisfied. Other people hog atten
tion, others want the largest share
of the credit for any good change
even if they actually fought it
when first it was suggested. What
ever it may be, if any person
wants something so much &at he
doesn’t care what he does to get
it, he is not only ridiculous, he is
a danger to all the rest of us.
