K THURSDAY, MAY 28, 1964 THE PmOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina Page THREE Some Looks At Books By LOCKIE PARKER ROOTS IN THE ROCK by Charles Child (lil^le. Brown $6.75). This is a refreshingly hap py story and a true one of a fam ily and the house they built on the rugged Maine coast, a house that grew and grew over a period of twenty summers. But it was not only a house they built. Charles Child, looking back over the experience, says that they gained, too “a sense of family sol idarity, of enormous respect for nature and many new friends.” The author is also an artist and this comes out not only in the vigorous line drawings that illus trate the text, but in his keen ap preciation of the color and tex ture of leaf and pebble, shell and moth wing as well as the great sweeps of scenery from the cliffs. He was also a pioneer at heart. Coming to Maine with his wife and two little girls one summer, he bought a piece of land on the tip of a wooded point that had not even a road to get to it. His plan was to cut enough trees to build a cabin for his family. Or perhaps it was his wife who thought of it first. She shared his love of the woods and was full of enthusiasm for the project—^fuU of energy, too, no mere onlook er. But Charles was the man with the axe. He describes with relish the thrill of cutting the first big tree and the cheers that went up from the fam.ily when it crashed. The next summer when it came to the log raising, he had the help of his brother. So it went— a bit of help here and there—but mostly doing it themselves, and then they had a house, a house with windows, a fireplace and a view of the sea. It was a small house, one big room with a kitch en off one end and a porch off the other, but they loved it. Affec tionately the author gives you al most too many details of the con struction. However, if you want to build a lo ghouse yourself, you should be able to learn much that is pertinent. In addition, Charles Child gives you memorable glimpses of sunsmer days in Maine and one tremendous hurricane, salty bits of conversation with local char acters, and a candid view of fam ily life with growing children, its trials and its rewards. A good book , and as invigorating as a breath of Maine air. STATE O' MAINE by Louise Dickinson Rich (Harper & Row $6.95i). This is another glowing tribute to Maine, celebrating its unique qualities. It is less person al than the above, as Mrs. Rich told of her own love affair with the state twenty years ago in “We Took to the Woods.” Here she gives the background, Maine’s history from the Ice Age through the coming of the Vi kings, the first settlers, colonial days with their struggles with French and Inidians. The British and the Court of Massachusetts, the achievement of statehood Jn 1820 and so on right down to the placing of the Telstar station in the middle of an area “still main ly inhabited by deer and bobcats, foxes and bear.” Johnson Attends National Meeting Lawrence McN. Johnson of Aberdeen returned Wednesday from New York City, where he attended the NatiAial Tubercu losis Association meeting which began early in the week. This is the first time, said Mr. Johnson, that a delegate from the Moore County T. B. chapter has attend ed a national m.eeting. A partner, with his father, in the Johnson and Johnson law firm in Aberdeen, Mr Johnson is on the board of the state as well as the county TB organization. Years.” Badkmobile Schedule Tenfilfes swarming? FOR INSPECHON, CALL Authorized Dealer SOUTHERN PINES WAREHOUSES. INC. OX 2-7131 She tells how Maine folks m.ake their living today, raising extra fine potatoes and apples, of the tough men who still go the lum ber camps, living in isolated com munities lor six months of the year, of the fishermen still catch ing lobster and herring on the Continental shelf as they have done lor centuries and finally of the development of the tourist in dustry which she holds has been a good thing for Maine people and not only because of the money it brings to the state. Mrs. Rich admires Maine char acter for its earthy good sense and humor; she gives some choice anecdotes illustrating these qual ities. She also calls attention to “A Few to Be Remembered.” These range from Rufus King, the first Governor, to Margaret Chase Smith and include people distin guished in literature, painting, the theatre. Music is represented by Nellie Dunham who won the title of “Champion Old-Time Fid dler of the United States.” Two of Mrs. Rich’s earlier books on Maine have just been republished by Lippincott in a single volume, “The Forest RICHARD MANSFIELD, the Prince of Donkeys by Mary Ellen Chase (Norton $2.95). Here is a firsthand story from a Maine childhood by one of the inost dis tinguished authors that state has produced. Mary Ellen Chase grew up in a small Maine town, one! of a household that included six children, two horses, a cow and several cats and dogs. The family did not need an other animal but two elderly ladies decided to pay a debt to the lawyer father with their aging donkey and his yellow phaeton. The father was not too pleased but nine-year-old Mary fell in love with the little donkey at once and took his care upon her self 'Their close bond lasted five years, that is until Richard’s death. Beginning with a special trib ute to donkeys in literature, the donkeys who carried Sancho Pan- za, Robert Louis Stevenson and the one who bore Jesus and Mary, Miss Chase has given us a tender and amusing story of her own pet. It is satisfyingly illustrated by Paul Kennedy. PLEASANT FIELDMOUSE by Jan Wahl (Harper $2.95). A BABY SISTER FOR FRANCES by Russell Hoban (Harper $2.50). In a very astute essay on “Boys and Girls and Other Animals” by Gavin Maxwell of otter fame, he remarks on the curious fact that “Small children readily identify themselves with animals (in stories), rarely with other small children and almost never with adults.” Here are two books which fit comfortably into that pattern. Pleasant Fieldmouse was small but full of enterprise and ideas. Some of the latter he carried out effectively, some not so success fully. His adventures will have a strong appeal to small boys. The pictures are by Maurice Sendak, winner of this year’s Caldecott Award. The book about Frances is for little girls and emphasizes the warmth and security of family love. To be sure, things have been a bit disrupted in the badger fam- j ily by the appearance of a new , baby. Then Frances finds out she is still important in the family, even more important in the role of Big Sister. The pictures by Lil- llian Hoban are as gentle and lov- ! able as the text.

COLOR TV has nether been in such great shape before., / MOTOROLA Model 23CK38 Classic simplicity—genuine mahogany or walnut veneers and select hardwood solids. $660.00 A s OF October 25, 1962, ther', were 110 nations in the United Nations Organization. (How many can you name?) Na tions are there which did not exist when World War II ended. Na tions are there whose very terri tory was marked on maps UN - KNOWN or UN EXPLORED just a few generations ago, when the writer’s father was a boy. People all over the world who never gave much thought to Dr. Foreman it before, now want to belong to a nation, able to take its place, perhaps a small place but a real one all the same, among the nations of the world. Great nations that used to take themselves more or less for granted, now are keenly aware of their role in the world of nations. The goad in nationalism Nationalism is a state of mind. It is no more visible than the “Spirit of Old Siwash” on the college campus; yet as with the college, so with the nation; the kind of spirit it is, the kind of national outlook and inlook that prevails, determines what Siwash College or the nation itself shall be. Like all states of mind, na tionalism is not just one thing but a combination of things. At base it is patriotism, the love of one’s own country, a wish to work for its welfare; it is pride in the achievements of the pioneers, a sense of the living reality of the history of the nation; it can be a sense of national ideals, an “image” of what one’s country wants to be; an awareness of her resources, a sympathy with one’s fellow-citizens, a proud and hap py sense of belonging. The bad in nationalism Like all good things, national ism can be spoiled. It is like family feeling in some respects. It is good to be pleased with one’s family, even to be proud of it and to uphold its standards; but the very words “family pride” have a bad sound, because in practice it means, too often, nothing but snobbishness, family conceit. So nationalism can degenerate. It can take the form of bragging. Amer ican tourists are in many places unpopular. They go to poorer countries and keep complaining all the time about the food and the language and the people; they never see anything abroad with out telling you how much better they do or make things back in good old Siwash, U.S.A. They are like rich people going on a trip through the slums and making loud unfunny remarks about the way the people in the slums live. But when a slum clearance pro gram comes up, these same peo ple don’t want any part of it. They are willing to tour around and make fun of the way those who are miserable have to live;, but they aren’t on hand to help when something is being done to make the slum more livable. Likewise nationalisni can easily become simple conceit, unwilling ness to co-operate in progress. “Man’s other religion” Nationalism has been called “man’s other religion.’! This is the greatest danger in it; no imaginary danger; as history plainly shows. Nationalism be comes a religion when the citi zens think of their nation as beyond criticism; when devotion to it becomes fanaticism; when many forms of anti-social behav ior are tolerated in society sooner than brave and intelligent criti cism of elements in national life that call for criticism. It becomes a religion when its commands are taken to be the highest authority on earth. The prophets of the Old Testa ment had a good deal to say about nationalism. They were not heeded. It might be truly said that the Hebrew nation perished of repeated attacks of nationalism. One thing, however, the prophets made perfectly clear: God has no pet naxions. Some nations ac knowledge him, some pretend to honor him, some perhaps really do. But every nation is “under God.” What wiU be his verdict on us?
