Jf THURSDAY, AUGUST 30, 1962 ^ Carolina THE PILOT—Southern Pines, Nor ro'i“ la » Some Looks At Books By LOCKIE PARKER THE BLUE NILE by Alan Moorehead (Harper & Rowe $S.95). Here is a welcome addition to the author’s earlier books on Africa, “No Room in the Ark” and “The White Nile.” In some ways this is the strangest of all; for the Blue Nile with its source in the highlands of Ethiopia has cut so deep a gorge through the plateau that some of it has never been penetrated by man. “No one has ever made the boat journey down the Blue Nile from Lake Tana to the Sudan, no one yet has man aged to walk or take a mule along the full length of its pre cipitous banks.” Today an Amer ican survey team is using heli copters to explore its thousand- foot depths where width from bank to bank is sometimes only a hundred feet. But above the river are ancient lands whose history is now an in triguing subject for archaeolo gists. Here and on its lower reaches the ubiquitous European traveller has penetrated from time to time. One of the earliest was James Bruce, a Scottish laird. He set out from Cairo without guide or maps—^there were none in 1768. Dressed as a dervish and with a fair command of Arabic his aim was to travel up the Nile to its source. One way and an other he reached Ethiopia and brought back tales that seemed as incredible to his contempor aries as those of Marco Polo. This reception of his arduously ac quired knowledge of central Africa embittered his later years. Considerable space is given to Napoleon’s invasion of Egypt and the notes and drawings made by WHITE'S REAL ESTATE AGENCY ESTHER F.

SHAW PAINT & WALLPAPER CO. Southern Pines that zealous archaeologist, Denon, who accompanied General Desaix in his long march up the river from Cairo. He was the first Eu ropean to note many now famous temples and monuments. There is a good deal, too, about the Turks who followed Napoleon and their effect on Egypt. One of the great travellers of this period was Burckhardt, a Swiss who had emi grated to England, studied Arabic and persuaded the newly formed African Association to give him modest backing for the explora tion of central Africa. His equip ment was incredibly meager, his hardships severe, but he sent back copious notes, adding great ly to knowledge of that continent. His description of Shendy market, the crossroads of the central Su dan in 1814 before the Turks had penetrated that far, is fascinating social history. As always, Alan Moorehead has done a thorough job of research. Then he has assimilated the re search and written a narrative which has the tang of great ad venture. His keen interest in these early travellers as men gives them life and makes the reader follow their risks, despairs and triumphs with eager partici pation. GABRIELA, CLOVE AND CIN NAMON by Jorge Amado (Knopf $5.95). This is a rich and brilliant novel of “Main Street” in Brazil. Don’t be misled by the title or the sexy jacket. True this Gabriela is a darling, but there is a lot more to the book than that. You ane a third of the way through before Gabriela even comes on the stage. The book is concerned with a community in process of change and is as generously peopled with all kinds of characters as one of Dickens’s novels. They are in tensely human people with their follfes and virtues, their generous and selfish impulses, and a keen interest in their neighbors. The framework is the clash between the new and the old—^well, not so very old, but those who have been in Ileus twenty-five years consider later comers just rank outsiders. A boom in cacoa has made the town. Those who came first and proved strongest are now wealthy planters, known locally as “the colonels.” They have been run ning the place in a rather feudal wav when a new groups—^business and professional men—challenge this regime, wanting better trans portation and more modern wavs. The impact of all this on the personal lives of individuals makes a very lively story, for the change affects not only politics and business but moral standards and social life. The dominance of the colonels is challenged even within the family. True, the older women, accustomed to the hanem- like seclusion of the Latin tradi tion, are still docile, but some mis tresses tend to get restless, and then there ana the young girls growing up and thinking about their own futures. The author has a special sympathy for the wom- SADA Community Contest Awards To Be Made At Rockingham Meet Nov. 19 s/~ Page THREE I sideration by Mrs. D. F. Hurley of Montgomery county, area com munity development chairman, and President Cadieu. To help with these and other expenses, the five county g6r- ernments will be asked for a con tinuation of the support they have given for the past four years, and Herbert Brewer of Montgomery county, vice-president, was placed in charge of this important phase of SADA operations.

Hoke was added as a new member in the spring. Area and county board chair men and division chairmen were present at the luncheon meeting, held at Howard Johnson’s Restau rant on UiS 1 between Southern Pines and Aberdeen August 21. The next executive committee meeting will be held at the same place October 9, at 12:30 p. m., at which time plans for the annual meeting will be made. The Awards Day program of the Sandhills Area Development association will be held in con junction with the SADA annual meeting, set for November 19 in Richmond 'county, it was an nounced by Neal Cadieu of Rock ingham, president, following an executive committee meeting held here last week. Awards will be presented to communities participating in the year-long Community Develop ment program of the association, which comprises five counties— Moore, Montgomery, Richmond, Hoke and Lee year—$100 first prize, $75 second, prize, $50 third prize and $25 4th prize in two categories, farm and non-farm communities. There was some doubt as to whether Lee would be consider ed as a participant this year, as only two communities in this county had entered the contest, but the committee decided to in clude these two in the area judg ing, which will take place the week of November 12. The advisability of presenting plaques and certificates, along with the cash prizes, was discuss ed, and was left for further con- Father Peter Denges Will Observe Anniversaries With Brothers At Rome Father Peter M. Denges, who served for six years as pastor of St. Anthony’s Catholic church, will have a month’s vacation in Europe during which he and two brothers, who are also priests, will celebrate their sacerdotal an niversaries together in Rome.

Denges, pas tor of St. Stephens’ church, Wash ington, D. C., will leave New York September 5 on the SS Con stitution for Naples, Italy, stop ping off at Madeira, Casatilanca, Algeria, Gibraltar, Palma, Genoa and Cannes. From Naples they will go to Rome, where they will' be guests of the Superior General i of the Redemptorist Fathers.' Their other brother Father Q. | Benedict, C.SS.R., is secretary of ■ this religious congregation, as well as rector of St. Alphonsus’ church at Rome. While at Rome they will ob serve the 35th sacerdotal anniver sary, or anniversary of entrance into the priesthood, of Father Peter and Father Joseph, also the 34th of Father Benedict.

Father Peter and Father Joseph were ordained at Baltimore in 1927, while Father Benedict was ordained at New York City in 1928. Father Peter served St. An thony’s parish here from April 1951 to June 1957. Bookmobile Schedule "WE LIKE TO THINK ..."

Wellman (DoublecEay $5.95|). Thirty of America’s most eventful years are the back ground of this novel. The protag onists are Andrew Jackson and Sam Houston, who first met short ly after the battle of Horseshoe Bend in 1814, and whose friend ship lasted till Jackson’s death a few months before Texas was ad mitted to the Union. As Jackson’s protege, Houston came to Washington as a Con gressman, helping old Hickory in many of his bitter fights with political enemies. Eventually, says Mr. WeUman, it was Jackson who sent Houston to Texas to guide the destinies of that troub led area. At the end of Jackson’s life, Houston rode a thousand miles, day and night, to get to the dying man’s bedside in time to tell him that Texas would join the United States. Paul Wellman has written many books about the American past, both fiction and non-fiction. Outstanding among the latter are “A Dynasty of Western Outlaws” and “Glory, God and Gold.” Tuesday, Sept. 4,—Niagara, Lakeview, Eureka Route: C. S. Ward, 9:25-9:30; J. D.

U^vntlonal Reading: Ezra 3:1013 International Untfona WW Sunday School Lesson* vW-' UlirKElNMETHiJ.., FOREMA Foisndations Lesson for September 2, 1962 I T HAD been 50 years since U;e ^ great Temple of Solomon was biirued to the ground, and the beautiful objects of silver and gold, which were so famous, had been carted off as loot by the in vaders from the Euphrates. Fifty years is a long time. Men now with grey beards, 60 years old or so, had been young children when the city fell to Nebu- Ur. Foreman chadnezzar. But old people remember far-past events better than most young ones do; and the splendor of Solo mon’s temple was not to be for gotten. Foundations But though not forgotten, Solo mon’s temple could not be re traced either. The first great public work undertaken by the returned exiles, who brought no wealth with them, was to begin the erection of a temple on the site of the old. When the founda tion was laid, the old men wept, because they remembered the magnificence of the old temple and realized that this would never look like that. But the young peo ple shouted for joy, for they had never seen a temple at all. And the young ones were right, tor those foundations were to bear the weight of a temple that was destined to last as long as Solo mon’s, or even longer. It would become a center of religious life for thousands of worshippers. Its mccessor, even if a king built it (and a king did), would never be loved as this one would be. In- cidencally this became the temple where our book of Psalms was first used as a hymn-book. Bui it all began with the founda tions All foundations look about alike, and they don’t look like much. It takes imagination to see a shrine for God rising above the dusty rock of the foundations, foiindaiions of Lifo All this might suggest to us a parable. Saint Paul once called Christians a temple of the Lord, so we may apply his parable to ourselves. AH lives are buUt on foundations of some kind. Jesus spoke of two houses, perhaps just alike except that one was built on rock and the other one built on .sand. Foundations may be out of sight, indeed have to be out of sight if they go down far enough to do some good. Scaffold ing is necessary but temporary; foundations are necessary from first day to last. Each human life is buUt on other lives. The kind of home which a father and es pecially a mother make, the kind of care they give their children, the spirit of the home, the faith and hope and love of that home, are a foundation on which a good life can be built. A home where Uiere are doubt and hopelessness and hate, a home from which the children escape as soon as they possibly can, is a foundation for the life of a criminal or a beatnik. The probation officer of a large city said that all kir'-v of juvenile delinquents, with . Is of back grounds, had come under his eye; but never yet had he seen a ju venile delinquent from a home where husband and wife lived in harmony. On What Shall A Nation’s Walls Be Set? • Nations like persons have foun dations, good or bad. People sometimes wonder if we deceive ourselves when we prefer a demo cratic state to any other kind. Looking at other experiments in democracy, with the exception of the northern European nations, so-called democracies will not seem very attractive. Is there anything special about American democracy (which is a child, or a first cousin, of the democracies in northern Europe just men tioned)? Yes, there is, and this should be said in thankfulness and without pride, for we had nothing to do with it. There was a long, long period of growth, of trial and error, of practice, you might say, in democratic processes, before we started it over here. We blame the Congolese for making a mess of their country the minute they reach freedom. But would we have done any better with our na tion if we had had no foundations? And it should not be forgotten that a corner-stone of our founda tion is a long-time fai&. “In God we trust” as a motto is worth little; as a foundation it is indis pensable.
