At first one is start led to find a political journalist of today writing of the Mycen- aeans of ancient Greece, the men of whom Homer sang, but, as a distinguished Greek scholar. Sir Maurice Bowra, points out in his introduction, Joseph Alsop “makes admirable use of his ex perience in political reporting.’ Moreover he has pursued this hobby or archaeology for many years, reading widely and even making a trip to Pylos, one of the latest important “digs.” The result is an exceptionally stimulating book. Reminding us first that until Schliemann made his excavations of Troy less than a hundred years ago, the charac ters of Homer were commonly re garded as legendary, just folk myths, Alsop relates how one archaeological discovery after an other proved them historical fig ures. Then we have an account of his own visit to Pylos and the ex cavations of the Palace of Nestor who had gone with Menelaus to Troy and is vividly portrayed by Homer as a wise but sometimes garrulous old man. As Mr. Alsop describes his walk through the palace ruins with the archaeolo gist in charge of excavations, we envisage the former activities there so clearly that we share his sadness over the destruction of this early civilization, the sack and burning by Barbaric inva ders. But this is only the starting point for a fascinating reconstruc tion of the Mycenean kingdoms, not so romatic as the Homeric ac count, for “discoveries tend to play jokes on the discoverers.” Quantities of clay tablets baked into permanence by the great fire turn out to be the accounts and records of an elaborate and effi cient bureaucracy that numbered even the sheep and goats of the villages. Here Mr. Alsop’s experi ence in reporting on governments comes into play, and we get a realistic pictiu-e of the functioning of this ancient kingdom with its military aristocracy, its peasants artisans, slaves, its exports and imports. However, as the author points out, every new discovery raises more questions than it answers. One of the chief in this case is the relation between the Greeks of this era and the Minoans on Crete. It is hotly debated in ar chaeological circles. Mr. Alsop gives the different theories and presents his own ideas. But this is only one of several questions raised and still in controversy, which he makes so intriguing that the reader yearns to take a spade and help find the answer. The book is beautiful designed. Excellent photographs of perti nent archaeological finds are so well placed in the text that they meet your eye just when you need them. THE WINTER PEOPLE by Gilbert Phelps (Bimon & Schus ter $4.50). This book, too, has to do with an ancient people and a lost civilization, but it is fiction. In England, where it first appear ed, it was compared to Rider Haggard’s “She” and Samuel But ler’s “Erewhon.” Deliberately taking the discur sive form of the Victorian novel, the narrator, a middle-aged law yer, builds up as background an intensively respectable family, the Parrs, and their embarrass ment at having produced such a sport as Colonel John Parr, who was enamoured of the Andes. The narrator himself has some what reluctantly followed the prescribed path of the respectable Parrs but remembers his uncle’s visits to England as the high mo ments of his boyhood. On the death of his uncle, he receives in structions to read John Parr’s “Journal of the Winter People.” Then we get a strange story of a man in high fever wandering away from a camp in the high Andes and coming upon a lost tribe with a pre-Inca civilization in one of the high valleys. He wakes in a hut where he is nurs ed back to health by a girl and her family. The members of the tribe all receive him kindly and give him special consideration as “our stranger.” He begins to study their social system and beliefs. Many things he finds hard to un derstand but, as motives become How Much Money Will You Have When You Are 65?

AT MEETING HERE 2 Local Men To Be Inducted Into CP&L ‘Pioneers’ Carolina Power & Light Com pany Pioneers, employees with 25 or more years of service, will hold their annual meeting here on April 10. About 125 Pioneer members, wives and husbands are expected to attend the meeting at the Mid Pines Club, according to Glenn Lee, CP&L district manager at Rockingham and regional Pioneer chairman. New members to be inducted are William C. Darden, appliance service coordinator in Southern Pines; Walter F. Harper, division engineer at Southern Pines; and Richard N. Newsome, senior en gineer at Sanford. A highlight of the annuaal pro gram is presentation of diamond membership pins to new Pioneers. Featured speaker will be the Rev. Thomas Haggai of High Point, lecturer and radio person ality. CP&L’s Pioneer Club has a membership of 445 employees. Of that number, 82 are members in the region covered by the South ern Pines meeting. BY DR. KENNETH J. FOREMAN Next Sunday How Two Men Died Lesson for March 2Z, 1964 clearer, he is deeply impressed by the solutions they have reached to several social problems, inclu ding that of war. When Col. Parr returns to civ ilization, he can talk of nothing else and is regarded as mentally unbalanced, and lives out his later years as a harmless eccen tric. That is why he leaves his journal to the nephew “who once belived and will believe again.” It is a moving book, powerful ly imagined and written with skill and style. THE TREASURE OF THE REEF by Arthur C. Clarke with Mike Wilson (Harrier & Rowe $4.95). The newest method of ex ploring the past is underwater archaeology. Wtih aqualung and other devices expert divers now excavate long lost wrecks—one, a Mycenean ship, was sunk in the eastern Mediterranean about 1200 B. C. Bringing up its remains was a project of the University of Pennsylvania Museum and, of course, a professional job. The discovery described here was made by amateurs—two of them teenagers. Arthur Clarke best known for his pioneer work on rockets and space problems, has in his later years taken a great fancy to the tropical island of Ceylon and spends most of his time there with deep sea diving as a hobby. It was off Ceylon’s south coast that his associate, Mike Wilson, was filming an un derseas picture with some friend ly fish and two teenage boys as actors when they saw something bright on the ocean floor and dis covered it was a brass cannon. A few minutes later they found a quantity of silver coins. These they carried back to the light house which they were using as their base and where Clark await ed them. The latter’s account of the dif ference this made in their lives, their efforts to keep the secret to get equipment for further ex ploration, to finance it on a shoe string, to find out their legal rights and finally the hazardous business of working underwater in a sea never still to une arth a wreck long imbedded in sand and coral, makes a grand story and Arthur Clarke tells it with gusto. In case you are interested he tells you the exact location of the wreck where his group is presum ably at work again, conditions around this reef being such that it is only possible to work during two months of the year, March and April.

Devotional Beading: Luke 23:44-56. D eath came to three men on the same afternoon. We can not say that “as it must to all men, death came to these,” for the three died by cruel violence. They died, in fact, by being executed. It was a form of death that was meted out only to the most degraded of men — traitors, slaves, the worst of criminals. The punishment was crucifixion. We have been so long accustomed to glamorized pic tures of the cross Dr. Foreman that we forget how horrible it was. Naked men were fastened with nails to their crosses. No fatal blow was struck, the men were just left to die. Gradual loss of blood would bring on a torturing thirst, and death was slow in coming. Victims often took two or three days to die, and most men would go insane before the end came. Death without hope The two men crucified to the right and left of Jesus were marked as bad men, and would be considered dangerous in any coun try at any time. They were not “thieves” in the 20th century meaning of that word. The Greek word for them means robber, bandit. They were the kind of men who do not hesitate to com mit murders in order to rob their victims. The police and the pub lic breathe more easily when such men are executed. One of these men died as he had lived, his hand against every man’s. Hung up there to die, he kept his bitter heart to the end. Whoever had condemned him to he crucified was not now out there in the crowd. This robber hated people without reason. So he tiumed against Jesus and picking isted through all eternities. It is here because God said, Let it he. How did God create the universe? When did he create it? Did it iook as it now does when it was new? Did he have any help? What was his reason for making it? How is it all going to end? To only one of those questions is there any dear answer; the reader is invited to think which question it IS. Perhaps true answers to such questions could not be understood because they could not he an swered. in human language. One thing stands dean God is not sur prised by the universe he has made, he is not fri^tened by it, and he will not be beaten down by it. It is his universe; it is marked, so to speal^ by his finger prints. It it ineemplet* A great American Christian thinker. Dr. Cosby Bell, once pointed out that although we can read the handwriting of the Al mighty on the universe, and while it shows God’s infinitely wise planning, it does not yet appear in its fullness as he plans that it shall. This earth at all events is an unfinished earth. This alone is not, however, the whole story. The universe, or the comer of it in which we live, the part of it we can do something about—^this-we are invited by God to help him bring toward completeness. Think, if you will, of the innumerable products—dyes, paints, foods, fab rics—made from cod tar. The Creator left it to man to bring these into existence. God’s mirror From the way the Bible writers present God as Creator, we can know something about God from the things he has made. Consider how the prophet Isaiah speaks to the discouraged exiles. F*' them remember the Creator. thought God had forgotten them; but no, God the Creator does not create only to forget. A child making mud pies might do that; hut certainly not God. The people thought that God was unable to help them. Isaiah the prophet re minds them that nothing is too great for God’s power to achieve. The people thought that blind and cruel fate, or chance had tom them from their homes and thrown them out into the crael- ties of Babylon. The prophet as sures them that the Creator is not one who works without plans. God who planned this universe has a place in that plan for. every man—for you.
