gjjjjjjfly, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1964 THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina Some Looks At Books By LOCKIS PARKER THE WORLD OF BIRDS by James Fisher and Roger Tory Peterson (Doubleday $22.85, pre- Christmas price $17.95). When two such eminent specialists in this field collaborate you may ex pect a book that is at once au thentic, thorough, beautiful and stimulating. This book is all of these. As to its appearance, we will only remark that the first of the authors’ acknowledgements for noteworthy help went to the designers and staff of the British firm that printed the volume. If author and artist are satisfied, you can be sure that the illustra tions are accurate as well as a de light to the eye. This is not a guide book for identifying birds but a book for those who in watching birds have grown curious to know more about these quick, bright eyed, little creatures who hop about our lawns, flit across meadows, sometimes patronize our feeders and sing, chirp, call for reasons that are sometimes obscure to us. Here is a rich account of what makes them tick — their evolution, behavior, food habits, migrations and “the precision engineering” of wing muscles and eyes. There are maps showing the distribution of birds over the world, and there is a thorough discussion of the techniques of bird watching, including the pho tographing of birds and record ing their songs. In the preface the authors say, “For the last twelve years we have been watching birds together in eleven countries. . . for the last five we have been planning and research ing this book.” No one knows how many birds th ere are, but 8,500 full species have been noted, and the authors say, “there is no square mile of the surface of our planet, wet or dry, that has not been crossed by the shadow of a bird—except perhaps some of the Antarctic continent.” Yet even in that in hospitable land petrels breed and penguins have colonies. In a final chapter, called “Birds and Men,” the problems of conservation are discussed. There i s a red list of birds now living but in danger of extinction and a black list of birds that are be lieved to have become extinct since 1600. Every page is illustrated with drawings and paintings tied closely to the text. The color printing is notable for both bril liance and delicacy, so that the flashing colors of a parrot or the subtle shading of the titmouse are equally satisfactory. JUGTOWN POTTERY; HIS TORY AND DESIGN by Jean Crawford (John F. Blair $8.00). Just in time for Christmas comes this long-awaited book on Jug- town in upper Moore County. Here are highlights of what the publisher says we may expect: “Illustrated with color and black - and - white photographs, this book tells the story of the interesting revival of folk art that took place during the first part of this century through the efforts of Jacques and Juliana Busbee. “The Jugtown story begins with the Busbees’ search for Page THREE Bookmobile Schedule December 21-23 Monday, Roseland, Colonial Hts.

North Carolina potters who were still turning out ware in the sim ple, traditional designs handed down to them from their fathers. The successful establishment of Jugtown as a center for the pro duction of good, inexpensive pot tery followed, and its fame spread until Jugtown pottery gained national and international recognition as a twentieth-cen tury American folk art. “In addition to the history of Jugtown, the book presents the methods of making, glazing, and firing pottery at Jugtown and discusses Mr. Busbee’s addition of new and more decorative de signs and colors to the traditional utilitarian ware.” The author is a native North Carolinian, educated at Peace College and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In 1961 she was awarded a graduate assistantship in Interior Design at Woman’s College in Greens boro and in 1962 received a de gree of Master of Science from that institution. She is now work ing with an interior designer in California. WHITE STALLION OF LIP- IZZA -by -Marguerite Henry (Rand McNally $3.95). Marguer ite Henry, who has celebrated the qualities of several breeds of horses in her stories, from “Misty of Chincoteague,” wild Banks pony, to that elegant Arabian, “King of the Wind,” now turns to the most glamorous of all in “White Stallion of Lipizza.” The horse is seen through the eyes of thirteen-year-old Hans, a baker’s boy in Vienna. On his morning rounds delivering hot rolls, Hans always managed to be on hand when the stallions were led out from the stables to the Spanish Court Riding School, and he dreamed of the day when he might ride one, preferably Borina, his favorite. But Hans not only dreamed, he worked, studied, missed no opportunities and his day came. Along with the story of Hans and Borina, Miss Henry gives a glowing account of the amazing feats of these famous horses, their long and skillful training and the devotion of their riders. Wesley Dennis illustrates the book very completely as well as contributing two colorful double pages of the Lipizzaners in ac tion. AN OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS by Paul Engle (Dial $3.95). “Every Christmas should begin with the sound of bells” begins this frankly nostal gic book about Christmas on an Iowa farm in the early years of this century. The bells that began young Paul’s Christmas were sleigh bells “on my father’s team of horses as he drove up to our horse-headed hitching post with the bobsled that would take us to celebrate Christmas on the fam ily farm.” After the delights of the sleigh ride, he describes the holiday feast, nearly all of it from materials raised on the farm, then the home-made pres ents and a final song around the tree. Mr. Engle also describes still earlier American Christmas cele brations, including the Pilgrims’ first Christmas, a , Catholic Christmas in early America and winds up with a speculative look into the future, “Christmas on the Moon.” SUBSCRIBE TO THE PILOT.

A fat “saint” who probably never lived; babies; manger scenes; sleighs (who sees real ones any more?), wreaths and poinsettias. But these are not the real Christmas. The day is a birthday. Never mind the fact that the date is almost certainly not the date on which Jesus was born; granted that the date and the festival were ^ „ not specially not- Dr. Foreman ed until about three hundred years later. The fact is, this is the day now marked off by the church as an annual celebration of the birth of our Lord. It is not meant to be a day for glamorizing mother hood or babyhood; not a day best celebrated in department stores. Santa Claus will do as a happy make-believe; but Santa is not the meaning of the day. If we celebrate it as the Lord’s birthday, we may well say we are at the same time celebrating the birthday of the world. The two names of Jesus We can put together two sen tences about the name of Jesus. When a baby is born, visitors who come to admire ask as a first question: What do you think you’ll name her (or him)? The baby born at Bethlehem, whatever the year, whatever the weather, had been named before he was born. It’s a very interest ing thing Matthew says here. The child is to be called Jesus, the angel told Joseph; and Matthew comments that this fulfills a prophecy which says plainly that his name shall be called EmmanueL So far as the New Testament goes, no one actually called Jesus Emmanuel. The fam ily did not, his mother did not, the writers of the New Testa ment generally use other ways of speaking of him. Every reader is entitled to his own guess as to why this was, and why Mat thew sees in “Jesus” the fulfilling of the prophecy that his name would be called Emmanuel. (Im manuel is, of course, just another spelling, meaning the same thing exactly, God with us.) The guess ventured here is this: Jesus was so to speak his public name; Emmanuel was a private name (even Jesus never used it) — one might say God’s name for his son; we might say that the private name explains the public name. Name of an Army man Nobody in Jesus’ time could have been surprised by the name he bore. No doubt many boys had the same. Just as boys to this day are named for George Washington and Robert E. Lee, so boys in those days were named now and then for Joshua, the famous army man, one of Israel’s heroes in her hall of fame. The name Jesus and the name Joshua are just the same in Hebrew, Jesus’ own language. The name means deliverer, res cuer, one who comes to the help of those in distress. The name has also a tinge of triumph about it. It means a conquering hero, one who delivers by beating down the enemy. The name would suggest something like a gallant knight of feudal times, his sword unsheathed |or the defense of the weak and helpless, rescuing prisoners from dun geons. In olden times men had given the name “Messiah” to the hoped-for Deliverer; and the lan guage of many of the prophets used had led people to think the Coming One would be a great military man, saving the Jews from the Greeks or the Romans as the case might be. But the name Jesus was never taken by Jesus in a military way. He raised no army, would not ac cept even an army of angels if it were offered him. Jesus’ enemy was not the Roman empire, not Pilate, not Herod. It was Evil in every form, it was most of all Sin. Sin is the worst tyrant that ever choked the life out of men who should be free. Every time we hear the name Jesus, we are meant to think of him as the deliverer from sin.
