THURSDAY, MAY 17, 1962 THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina Some Looks At Books By LOCKIE PARKER A SAD HEART AT THE SU PERMARKET. Essays and Fables by Randall Jarrell (Alheneum $4.50). This begins with a neat ac count of Diogenes—the man who could do with least—sitting in his tub and being visited by Alexan der the Great who asked if he could do anything, for the philoso pher. Diogenes replied, “Yes, get out of my light.” Jarrell says that this story has meant different things to different ages but that what would strike the good American is the oddness of Alex ander being there, taking time out from conquering the world to visit so impoverished and eccen tric an intellectual, just an egg head. This introduces a brilliant championship of the egghead as the salt of the earth. A genuine devotion to litera ture infuses all the pieces in this book, accompanied by some dis tress about tendencies and influ ences in our culture today. But vertiser with the uncomfortable, startling things offered by the genuine artist, the last rugged in dividualist in a too-conforming society. Other essays deal with how to read Kipling, the poet in relation to critics and readers, Malraux, the short story, education today. “The Schools of Yesterday” is a dialogue between a grandfather on the respective contents of their fifth grade readers—the contrast is something to think about. Randall Jarrell is a poet who has received, among other honors, the 1961 National Book Award for Poetry.a critic whose book about poetry has goue into a pop ular reprint, and a Professor of English at the Woman’s College in Greensboro CATCH-22 by Joseph Holler (Simon & Schuster $5.95). The publishers have great faith in this big, garrulous novel with its devastating as his picture of otrr amusingly absurd conversations slick magazine - radio-television- digest-fed minds is, his lecture is given with such wit and irony, such a persuasive contrast with more nourishing fare that the reader’s interest is caught from the start, his sympathies engaged, and some may even be persuaded to try his recommendations. The title essay, “A Sad Heart at the Supermarket,” has to do mainly with advertising. Turning ' to the dictionary for a definition of “media,” Jarrell finds it jiust the plural of medium, which is, among other things a nutritive mixture for cultivating bacteria, fungi, etc. He sees us as living in such a "medium,” our senses be ing constantly stimulated to buy ing more and more, until we are thoroughly brain-washed by those whose job it is to sell more. Then he contrasts the comfortable, flat tering things offered by the ad- WALL PAINT No stirring, no priming. Dip in and start to paint! Creamy-thick—won’t drip or spatter like ordinary paint.

SHAW PAINT & WALLPAPER CO. Southern Pines against the bitter background of life in an American bomber souadron in World War 11. They even sav it is “a microcosm of the twentieth-oentury world as it might look to someone dangerous ly sane.” I tried to have faith, too, but I must confess that I sometimes had trouble finding my way through the verbal fireworks in my effort to discover a pattern, even though I looked at the end ing for a- guidepost. However, there is a center, a bombardier named Yossarian. whose domina ting conc.srn is frankly his own safety. He had even elected to become a bombardier for that reason, figuring that the training took so long that the war would be Over before hg was ready. But as the book begins, he has flown about fifty missions, he is furious because so many “perfect strang ers” want to kill him, and he car ries on a private war with his su perior offio'^rs. Oddly enough, despite all this mixing of sense and nonsense, hi larity and tragedy, the book ends, with the most classic requirement of a serious novel, a major moral decision by the hero. THE CONSCIENCE OF LOVE by Marcel Ayme (Alheneum $4.50). This book is a neat and compact example of French wit playing with a thesis which is early stated and brilliantly illus trated. Yet despite the contrast in form it resembles “Catch-22” in some ways. The characters reject society’s conventions and conven tional phrases dealing with fam ily, sex, patriotism, business; and they just love discussing this and their own ideas. The author seems partly to agree with them and partly to regard them with the tolerance of age for the confidence of youth that they can reshape the world. The setting for the story is Paris and a group of young peo ple with complicated amours and immediate problems of survival in a world where they have not Moare Library Staff Attends Monroe Meeting The Moore County Library is closed today (Thursday) and the bookmobile is o^ the road in order that the entire library staff may attend the annual meeting of the Piedmont Public Library Council. This one-day meeting is being held in the Union County Public Library in Monroe. Aside from a business session, the meeting is devoted to a symposium on North Carolina historical and genealogi cal materials. Special guests and speakers are William S. Powell, librarian in charge of the North Carolina Collection, University of North Carolina Library at Chapel Hill, and Mrs. Margaret Price, Genealogy Reference Librarian, North Carolina State Library at Raleigh. Bookmobile Schedule Woman Taken to Hospital Says She Shot Herself Mrs. Elizabeth Sanders Pope, about 30, of near Robbins, was reported in critical condition at Montgomery County Hospital, Troy, following a shooting with a 22 calibre pistol early Sunday morning. Later advice is that she is improving. She was taken to the hospital in an ambulance by Winthrop Wil liams, at whose home just this side of the Moore-Montgomery line the shooting took place. Deputy Sheriff I. D. Marley, who went to the hospital follow ing word of the shooting, said Mrs. Pope told him she fired the pistol herself. She was in no con dition to be questioned further, he said. Williams told Deputies Marley and H. H. Grimm that Mrs. Pope shot herself “because she was jealous of visits I paid to my children.” He is separated from his wife, who has their children with her at Burlington, the offi cers said. Investigation is continuing, Marley said. May 21-24 Monday, May 21, Union Church Route: Mrs. R. L. Comer, 9:30- 9:35; J. M.

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 . . .

Most amazing among them is Portier, a languid character who has be come a legend and a mystery to hundreds but to his brother and mistress is just an indulged and impractical child. One French critic has described the book as “wild fantasy allied with logic.” HEART OF THE WILD by Chet Schwa2kopf (Doubleday $3.95|). Along the northwestern coast of California lies a rare stretch of wild land. Covering the state’s four northernmost counties, the Redwood Coast is largely inhabited by magnifi cent specimens of North ^'mer- ican wildlife, the heroes of this book. In the center of the area lies the town of Eureka, where Mr. Schwarzkopf lived for more than twenty years (counting time out for World War ll). As an ardent steelhead and salmon fisherman, he had ample opportunity to see at first hand the whistling swans, the otters, the giant trout and many other wild creatures whose stories appear in this book. The book is illustrated effec tively with linecuts by Wayne Trim, an outdoorsman who is on the staff of “The New York State Conservationist.” SPROTT BROS. FURNITURE CO.

But if the world continues, fear will continue too, and crisis will follow crisis as far as eye can see. People will be asking, as they are asking now: Is this the end of the world? No time-tables We should remember that wWle an atomic catastrophe (you could not call it war) might well mean the end of the United States, the end of Russia and of Europe, the end of all we know as civilization, and the plunging of the rest of the race back into darkest bar barism,—that is still not the clean sweep to which the Bible looks forward. Second Peter and Jude, for instance, both picture a total destruction not only of the human race in its present form, but of the earth itself. By cornparuson with that, the disappearance of a civilization is a slight affair. Now the writers of the Nev, Ti'.starnent. if you could have saic to them, “It looks as if civiliza iion is on its last logs,’ would have said, “Of course that's true. But they would not have fretted ir feared for a moment. When the End came, most people would lie terrified: but they did not ex ect CiU'istians to be afraid. On :e other iiand, the early Chris an at>ost.les and teachers r^ joiced in looking forward to the Last Day, a day so all-important that they sometimes called it sim ply “The Day.” However, no New Testament writer tried to set up a time-table. They did expect it in their lifetime, at first, but later books (2 Timothy for example) show that they realized the Day would probably not come while they lived. They left the WHEN to God. What sort of person? We catch glimpses, in various parts of the New Testament, of various ways people reacted to the likelihood of an approaching End of All Things. Some screamed for lulls to cover them (how mod ern that sounds!), some gave up ail ordinary business and spent their time just talking about the future, some (not the writers of the New Testament but other people) painfuUy tried to piece together mysterious prophecies from the Old Testament so as to predict the very time. Second Peter warns against too much cal culation. The Lord’s clocks and calendars are not geared to ours, a tliousand years to us may be a day to him, and also vice versa It may be later than we think, or earlier, we don’t know. Howevei-, 2 Peter has no hesitation about predicting the End. You might al most think he could see the nu clear cataclysm: “The heavens will pass away with a loud noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fire, and the earth, and the works upon it, will be burned up.” But now see how he goes on from there. Since these things are so. “what sort of persons ought yon to be?” The end of all that we know about will not be the end of us. Death is a deceiver even when millions die at one moment The Christian way The writer Jude, who also has some pretty grim things to say about the End, concludes his shorl letter with a beautiful benedic tion. In one sentence he sums up the Christian attitude toward des tiny. First, it is in God’s hands, and we should not forget this Second, God will keep his people— not necessarily from danger or suffering, but from “falling” into sin or despair. And most of all, Jude wants his readers to keep their minds on God and remem ber who he is; the only God, who saves us through Christ our Lord, the eternal God, whose kingdom and whose authority will not end when this little planet has van ished. Thinking of ourselves, we may well tremble; thinking of Him. our hearts are strong with lope (Based on outlines oopyri^hied hy the Division of Christian Edneation, N'atlonal Council of the Churches of f'hriat in the C.
