0 THURSDAY, MAY 3, 1962 THE PILOT—Southern Pines. North Carolina Page THREE Some Looks At Books By LOCKIE PARKER THE FORGOTTEN SMILE by Margaret Kennedy (Macmillan $4.50.). This is a lovely book about an enchanted Greek island that had successfully resisted progress and about a few odd English peo ple who found their way to it and were refreshed and fortified. Keritha was so small an island, so poor, so lacking in interesting antiquities that no one had ever bothered much with it, not even the conquering Turks. Besides the Kerithians did not welcome for eign “barbarians” and had an ef fective way of dealing with them. True, a few bits of foreign cul ture had been tasted and accept ed—Coca Cola and Christianity. The Kerithians liked some of the ritual of the Greek Orthodox Church though they maintained neither priest nor chapel. The basic tenets on which life was conducted were older than Chris tianity, older than the Homeric gods, a primitive bargaining with nature spirits in river and tree, sky and sea. There was the naiad of the waterfall who must be placated with a sweet before one crossed the unrailed bridge—on one occasion a sentimental phon ograph record served. To this island come at differ ent times and for different rea sons a few characters from Eng land who did not fit well into the English social pattern. There are the half (Sreek Challoners, a brother and sister descerately un satisfactory as English youth, but finding peace, honor and satis faction here. There is the clumsy Selwyn, a Greek scholar and ar tist who had once found a para dise and lost it. Most endearing of all is Kate, a middle-aged woman with a talent for mother ing whose children have grown up. The special effect of the is land on each and their interac tion on each other has been told with sympathy and humor by the author. She loves her characters dearly for their idiosyncrasies and aspirations, their human dig nity and the valiant tendrils they put toward living even after re buffs—“Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly.” This is not an ambitious book but it does superbly what it sets out to do, giving us a blancing look at an ancient wisdom, a way of life still in touch with nature magic that has stood the test of centuries.

Southern Pines FIA FIA by Janies UUman (World $4.95). There is the story of another island, struggling less successfully against the encroach ments of the modern world. Tiara was one of the myriad islands of the South Seas, distinguished by the croWn of a single white cloud above its central mountain. Un fortunately its exotic loveliness, its excellent beaches, its unspoil ed natives came to the attention of Mel Melnick, successful builder of luxury hotels in Miami and Mexico. The native Polynesians were not pleased. Deeply attach ed to their ancient ways, they found their life good as it was. Having seen a bit of modern progress during World War 11, the elders of the tribe wanted no more of it. Still there were a few, “the talking chief” and some of the young people who were more curious, more easily dazzled by novelties. 'The drama of this struggle within the tribe, even within individuals is feelingly de scribed and carried to a gripping climax. But there is a personal drama in the book just as poignant. Mitchell Carr, an engineer hired by Melzick to blast out the la goon and make it safe for sea planes, had been to Tiara before, had had his own South Sea idyl there during World War 11. The experience made a deeper im pression on him than he had real ized at the time. Eighteen years later, dissatisfied with business success, haunted by the failure of two marriages, he jumps at the offer of a job on Tiara, finding that it stirs hopes of ivecapturing the peace and simple acceptance of love he had once known. The place is there, the people are there, but he has changed. 'Then unexpectedly he is attracted to a restless, brilliant, unhappy half- caste boy. How there two are drawn to each other, antagonize each other and eventually come to recognize and value their rela tionship makes a tense and mov ing story. It is skillfully inter woven with the island drama of Polynesian resistance to the white man’s incursion.

CARD OF THANKS We wish to express our deepest appreciation and heartfelt grati tude for the kind expressions of sympathy by friends and neigh bors at the passing of our dearly beloved father, Zebulon V. Ro bertson. The Robertson Children. the British will leave too. While the British were concentrating on keeping Spain from joining the Axis and the Germans were do ing everything to induce them to join, the apes began to die off through malnutrition and expos ure. For its influence on Spain and for their own morale, the British including the Prime Min ister, felt that a company of twen ty-four apes must be kept on the Rock. But Scruffy, the oldest, biggest ape on the island, the meanest and most cunning that ever lived, continued to reduce the ape pop ulation by fighting with them un til there was only one ape left: himself. How the problem was solved is logical, absurd and fun ny with that special mixture of fantasy, humor and sentiment that distinguishes Paul Gallico. Tuesday, May 8, Murdocksville Route: R. F.

SCRUFFY by Paul Gallico (Doubleday $4.50). Gibraltar at the beginning of the Second World War is the setting for this aopealing and very funny novel about a British Army Captain and an enlisted man who are in charge of the Barbarv apes on the Rock. There is a legend that when the apes leave the Rock, '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 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 . . .

Whitey and Josie ride again. They may not be full-sized ranch hands but they are never short of ideas and nerve. When Uncle Torwal sug gests they catch the old wolf who has be-an killing colts, he is not serious but they are. True, the wolf has outwitted the best hunt ters around there but that does; not discourage this pair. How they figured out a way and kent trying, what hanpened when there was a range fire and how they finally brought in the bodv makes an adventurous and satisfying story told in the inimi table Rounds manner. Of course, there are pictures by the author- strong, original, full of action with a dash of humor and an economical but effective sugges tion of the wide spaces of the nrairies. Mr. Rounds, who lives in 'Southern Pines, has obviously enioved returning to his Whitey series as a change of pace from his books about 'beavers and other wildlife in the Sandhills. FEET ACHE.

The North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles says Slow Down and Live. FT is so easy and respectable to ^ be at least a conventional Chris tian in America, that we are shocked by the picture “Question 7,” because it makes starkly plain the ugly penalties Christians have to pay in communist countries just for being Christian. Because there is such a difference between our coun try and East Ger many (for exam- _ „ pie) or between Dr. Foremao our country and the Roman Empire in the first century after Christ, we are tempted to overlook the fact that we too live in a society that is stUl very largely pagan. The Chris tians to whom the Letters in the New Testament were written were reminded that they had come out of darkness into God’s light. The darkness had not vanished, it was out there like a vast dreadful night. Passlona of fht floth If we are not surrounded b> pitch-hlackness, it is because Christian ideas and ideals have permeated society as a whole. Much of America’s “way of life” has Christian origins. Neverthe less, paganism may take the form of a grey cloud, a fog like the bright emptiness of an antarctic “white-out.” Nothing can be plain ly seen in it. This kind of pagan fog surrounds the Christian, often without his realizing it. We can take some expressions from I Peter 2, to illustrate. The writer speaks of “passions of the flesh that wage war against your souls. ” In America paganism, much as in the ancient and rotting Roman world, the suggestion is constantly made, in advertising, entertain ment, literature and the ordinary “climate of opinion,” that any thing is all right for you if you really want to do it or to have it. Liquor is all right if you want it, the best reason for a divorce is just that you want one, young peo ple don’t have to wait until mar riage before living with each other. These and other lies arc circulated all around us, and it is hard to resist the pressure, hard especially for young people, who do not realize that the voice of “Everybody” may be just the voice of age-old paganism. Among the Gentiles The early-times Christians could not have been fooled by this. They knew that “Everybody” v/as most ly pagan. To look to popular opin ion, in any Roman city, for Chris tian standards of living, would have seemed ridiculous. A Chris tian was expected to be different: they knew that much, or most of them did. Today “conformity” is very much the thing, but we do not ask, as we should. Conformity with what? with whom? Imitating people who do not even pretend to be Christian, is absurd; yet millions of church-members do it. Take two simple examples. There is a magazine about women’s “hair-do’s.” It’s what the maga zine is all about, nothing else. Query: Is it a Christian use of time, brains and money to spend money making and buying a mag azine devoted to hair-do’s? Is there nothing more important to take a Christian woman’s time? Not just against . No one should suppose that the Christian life consists mostly in whacking pagans over the head with the Ten Commandments. Neither does it consist in merely not doing this and not doing that. Saint Peter did not lay out the Christian life as a series of Don’t’s “Live as free men but live as servants of God.” That’s positive living, not negative. Honor aU men, he says. Love die brother hood. That’s positive living in two directions. The Christian has deal ings with non-Christians and also with Christians; and negative ap proaches are no help either way. The best resistance against the constant pressure of paganism is not to keep shouting NO aU the time. It is to find a way of living such that it wiU be the pagan, not the Christian, who discovers that his life is empty. ’The Christian can well get on without the pagan’s “fim;” but the pagan may be turned around by observing die Christian’s happiness.
