\' r, ► ft* THURSDAY, JULY 23, 1964 THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina / Page THREE Some Looks At Books By LOCKIE PARKER BUSINESS DECISIONS THAT CHANGED OUR LIVES by Sid ney Furs! and Milton Sherman (Random House $4.95). Despite its formidable title and a still more formidable introduction, this book is mainly a collection of very readable and interesting American success stories of ovur time. They concern the invention, perfecting and marketing of such ideas as zippers and kodaks, Kleenex and tubeless tires. My quarrel with the title is that these things do not really “change our lives.” Prevalent as they have become they change some of our daily habits but hardly alter the pattern of family life or anything fundamental. As for the introduction, the two au thors who belong to the Madison Avenue fraternity, talk about the nature of business decisions in impressive polysyllables such as ‘pervasive reorientation” and “objective correlative” but are more confusing than enlighten ing—at least, I found them so. However, they have collected seventeen noteworthy cases, and the accounts of these are written in simple, straightforward Eng lish by the men presently at the head of the businesses involved. Most of these are modest about their own share in the business’s success and take care to point out that this success was not due to one man’s decision but to “grad ual processes shaped by many minds and hands.” Take even the simple zipper. Whitcomb Judson took out a pat ent in 1883 on a sroe closure de vice that was the clumsy device that was the original of today’s zipper. He continued to work on it with the backing of Col. Lewis Walker of Meadville, Pa. In 1896 they got an order for “slide fas teners” for twenty mail bags from the U. S. Post Office. But it was not until two more decades had passed with more improve ments on the model, struggles with devising machinery to man ufacture it and much money spent that a satisfactory zipper was developed that could be manufactured at a reasonable price. Even then there remained a major problem in persuading garment manufacturers and the public to try it. The idea only really caught on in the twenties but then it went fast, until today you find zippers nearly all over the world and, as Lewis Walker in points out, they will probably soon be on the moon as an astro naut’s suit has thirteen zippers. Equally remarkable tales of early discouragements, persis tence and final success with the ideas of the supermarket, the Blue Cross hospital plan, cake mixes, strained baby foods, the compact automobile and a dozen other things that we accept as almost indispensable conven iences round out the book. WHEN THE BOUGH BREAKS by Richard Klug«r (Douhledhy $4.95). This is a good lively novel about a community fight. The lo cale is “exurbia,” about an hour’s communiting distance from New York. The conflict arises over a question of zoning. It is proposed to rezone a sizeable tract of woods for a housing development with one end to be used for in dustrial plants. Now along one side of this tract runs Forest Glen Road and living there are some substantial people who have chosen the place because of the view of the woods, because they enjoy “un spoiled” country. They organize to stop the rezoning under the leadership of Roy Barton, a somewhat enigmatic character who has money, leisure and seems to welcome a fighting cause On the other side are the contractors, the owner and the county courthouse crowd. Feeling runs high and some rough stuff is pulled—threats, rock throwing, a bit of blackmail with other more genteel but no less effective measures. Along with this you get some surprising Bookmobile Schedule Monday, Roseland, Colonial Hts Route: R. E.

This is the author’s first novel but he is no amateur in the lit erary field. Richard Kluger has owned and edited his own week ly newspaper and is now book ^itor of the New York Herald Tribune whose Sunday book sec tion is also used by the Washing ton Post. GIRL ON WITCHES' HILL by Mildred Lawrence (Harcourl $3.2S). This author is a favorite with high school girls. Here she writes of Stacey Tilden who in her last year at high school had to move with her family from Cape Canaveral to a quiet village on the New England coast. Stacey had been enthralled with Cape Canaveral, its rockets and its astronauts. Stimulated by this and her interest in Bariy, a classmate who was a whizz at math and science, Stacey had gotten to be quite good at these two subjects herself. She was even helping Barry with his re search as he worked for a schol arship. Then suddenly she was up rooted and moved to a little coast al village where the chief inter ests seemed to be witches, old ruins and bird watching. She re sents the change bitterly. But two of her new classmates take it on themselves to show the new girl around. How their friendli ness and enthusiasm gradually change her attitude until she finds herself interested in a lot of things beside science and Bar ry makes a warm and interesting story. FIREMAN SAVE MY CAT wriUen and illustrated by Tony Palaszo (Abelard Schuman $2.95). This is a thrilling tale about the familiar situation of a cat going where it could not get back. In this case the cat ended up on a ledge two stories high between two houses. The cat howled. Mary Jane who had been playing with it shrieked. A policeman came. All the tenants in the building came running. The fire department was called, then the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Children of five to eight will enjoy the commotion and sus pense and the lively pictures in three colors on each page. The older ones can read it them selves. It is a good story to read to a younger child because the situation is simple, the action moves forward rapidly and there is a thoroughly satisfactory end ing. Come on, check the Dodges. The style, the features, the ride and the prices. Yon can own a hig new Dodge for the same dough you’d pay for a Ford, Chevy or Rambler—even less in some cases!

It’s hard to be in the same house with one, hard to be on a committee or a team with one. A real original prima donna is a singer (the name means First Lady) who does soprano parts at the opera. They are notoriously tem peramental. They make it rather hard for the other members of the cast. They don’t like to share a scene, Dr. Foreman they want to dom inate it. Now prima donnas in ordinary life are like that. They have plenty of talent, perhaps even genius. But they do not work well on a team. They are star per formers and they know it But there is a difference between a superior performer and a per former who can’t forget that he is superior. Laadort Ntad haTp There is a. difference between prima donnas and leaders. The p.d. is admired, but that’s the end of it The boys in the school yard may admire a boy who can stand on one. hand. But if they don’t all try to do the same, he’s not a leader. A leader is fol lowed. Now some of the greatest mistakes in history have occuired when leaders have tried to be prima donnas, or vice versa. Hit ler was a first-class prima donna; but he called himself a Leader. He seldom would listen to advice. God’s loadsK You might think that God’s leaders would not need help, but they do. Don’t they have the help of God and isn’t that enough? No; God’s providence calls on other men to rally behind leaders. Not even God’s chosen leader.s can lend without help of any kind. This is true of your looel minister: where is the church that can get on witiio\it a committee or board or council or session or vestry or some group of leaders from the congregation to help the minister? It was true of Moses too. There was a man of God if ever there was one: immortal in human memory as one of the greatest leaders in all history . . . yet even he was tempted to play prima donna. Because he could do anything better than most others, he tried to do everything. Because he was a good judge, none better, he made the at tempt to judge everything. Now every man has his limitations. No man, for example, can do more than he has time to work in. Even if his powers were un limited, which they are not, he cr.nnot do in ten hours what call.' for twenty hours to do it right. Ministers have been known to suffer nervous breakdowns be cause they thought they did no' need help; and Moses was head ed for the same kind of trouble, till old Jethro gave him the ad vice which saved the situation. The humility of a leader Moses was one of the best ed ucaled men of his time, and im mensely superior to the ot^he; Israelites. Jethro, his old father in-law, was on the other hand one of the most ignorant of men He had never lived, so far as we know, outside that rocky wilder ness. When he ventured to give Moses advice on how to handle the crowds that came before him from dawn to dark, demanding his decision on innumerable prob lems large and small, Moses did not brush him off. Moses listened; one of the humblest acts record ed of any leader in history. It was a humble thing old Jethro advised him to do, too. Appoint ing subordinate judges to help solve the people’s problems would be, in a way, governing by com mittee, and we can imagine Moses had no great liking for that. But the mere admission of others (none in his class, either) to the administration of nation^ affairs would be admitting he could not do it all. Well, even the greatest have to admit it: they are not superhuman, and thon^ they are God’s men, there are no more hours in a day for them than for any one else. The great man may accept help grudgin^y, but God’s leaders accept gratefully, lliey take helpers as God’s gift and not as insult.
