Some Looks
At Books
By LOCKIE PARKER
THE AFFLUENT SOCIETY by
John Kenneth Galbraith
(Houghton Mifflin $4.00). Here is
something as bracing as a fresh
wind on a muggy day, a ringing
challenge to the basic tenets of
our economic thinking. In plain
English—no technical jargon—
with dry humor, shrewd apprais
al of human motivation and pic
turesque analogies. Professor
Galbraith of Harvard points out
how many of our underlying
ideas on economics no longer fit
the case.
Once they did fit. Most of us
who have been brought up to
respect production of goods as
the sign of progress and the
measure of health in the nation,
have felt confused by a world in
which you paid farmers not to
produce and in which advertis
ing men and salesmen are more
important and better paid than
the people who produce what
they sell. This author clears the
air by giving us a candid history
of our ideas on economics—^man-
made not divinely revealed.
They stem from three economists
who did pioneer work in making
economics a respectable branch
of learning a hundred years ago
—Adam Smith, Ricardo and
Malthus. In that day the mass of
workers were still hard pressed
to find adequate food, clothes
and shelter. As these men who
formulated the principles of
economics saw it this would al
ways be true. As production in
creased, population would also
increase until there was just
enough food to keep workers
working, or, if and when there
was a temporary surplus, this
would inevitably go to landlords,
bankers and bosses.
Now Galbraith’s point is that
in the United States—and to a
considerable extent in Western
Europe,—this is just not so. You
have only to look around you at
the distribution of cars, televi
sion, electric appliances, to see it
does not fit the facts. Yet econo
mic theory has not changed its
basic tenets. This is oversimpli
fying, of course, and not fair to
a closely reasoned case. He ad
mits to minor adjustments, but
he cites passage after passage to
prove the persistence of the in
fluence of this “traditional wis
dom” in the thinking of econ
omists, business men, politicians,
editorial writers, labor leaders.
I So what next? Well, Mr. Gal
Jbraith has built up so dramatic
a case in explaining the actual
state of our economics and the in
consistency of some of our atti
tudes about it, that it would
“spoil the story” to give his con
clusions without the build-up.
Read it yourself and see. You
will find this a stimulating book
whether you agree with his con
clusions or not.
Carthage Woman
Joins County’s
Welfare Staff
Mrs. Grace Bunting of Carth
age has been employed by the
Moore County Welfare Depart
ment as an assistant case worker,
according to Mrs. Walter B. Cole,
superintendent.
Adding Mrs. Bunting to the
staff was niade possible, Mrs.
Cole said, by an increased appro
priation for the welfare depart
ment in the current budget. She
has already begun her duties,
consisting for the most part of
calling on new cases and helping
with investigations of old ones.

MOUNTAIN ROAD by Theo
dore H. While (Mexrow $3.95).
Mr. White’s highly successful
book on postwar Europe, “Fire
in the Ashes,” owed much of its
popularity to the vivid account
he gave of the life and fortunes
of one individual in each country,
thus making concrete for us his
general statements.
In the present novel he does a
similar thing on a larger scale for
China in its day of disaster but
with much deeper probing and
more concern with emotional
values. In the break-up of the
Chinese army, the flight of the
Chinese refugees, the loss of law
and order, discipline and morale,
the savagery of the desperate,
you have a universal comment
on the fruits of war. We see this
chiefly through the eyes of Rog
er Baldwin, an American engin
eer who happens temporarily to
be in charge of a demolition team
whose function it is to blow up
bridges, roads, ammunition
dumps as the Chinese retreat and
the Japanese advance. But we
see it also through the eyes of a
Chinese woman with an Ameri
can education who from her
place between two cultures can
sometimes interpret one to the
other.
Beside this and more import
ant to the status of the work as
a novel, we have the hero’s per
sonal strains and development.
Never before has he been faced
with the command of individual
men. As a desk engineer both be
fore and during the war, he had
analyzed and reported, but oth
ers had made decisions. Now he
is faced day by day with prob
lems of destruction that not only
doom hordes of Chinese to death
or, at the best, a more painful
struggle to survive, but that en
danger the lives of the eight men
under him. He is also faced with
the need to drive these men on
when they are tired of the whole
business. They know as he does
that his orders had been to blow
up one airfield and other object
ives “at your discretion.” Mr.
White makes responsibility— its
challenges, its terrors, its satis
factions—the main theme of his
novel.

IT'S SO EASY TO LOOK GOOD!
DRY CLEANING KEEPS CLOTHES "IN THE TRIM"
Valet
The
MRS. D. C. JENSEN
Where Cleaning and Prices Are Better!
THE GINGER MAN by J. P.
Donleavy (McDowell, Obolensky
$3.95). The war over, Sebastian
Dangerfield decides to take ad
vantage of the G. I. Bill and
study law in Dublin. Having set
tled his well-bred English wife
and their daughter into an un
bearably filthy shack, the red-
bearded Ginger Man goes sup
posedly each day to attend class
es at Trinity. But Dangerfield is
above all a knave and rogue,
and he consequently whiles away
his days in drunken debauchery.
A climax of sorts is reached
when Marion finally realizes her
position is hopeless and with the
baby leaves for good. Danger-
field, however, is well protected
by his patron saint and is always
able to ease himself out of any
monetary, physical, or legal dif
ficulties.
The author, like, the Ginger
Man, is an American who studied
in Dublin and then moved on to
richer London. And somewhere
along the way he lost any under
standing of things American that
he might have once possessed. It
is surprising that this first novel
was received with much favor
by both the Birtish critics and
public.
The reader is too saturated
with Dangerfield’s virile feats
and a conglomeration of obscene
words and phrases to really be
iable to see the work as a whole
and thus understand and be in a
position to agree or disagree
with Mr. Donleavy’s point. Even
the so-called comic situations in
which Dangerfield entangles
himself do little to give a lift to
the story and make it any more
readable. The only saving factor
is the author’s ability to occa
sionally write a truly beautiful
and poetic sentence.

JUSTICE, like charity, begins at
•J home. People vriho don’t practice
it there are not likely to practice
it anywhere. A home is often call
ed a retreat, a place where one
can get away. But the home is no
place to get away from the hu
man race, no place to get away
from God, no
hide-away from
duty. In one
sense the home
is the easiest
place to live.
When some one
wants to express
the idea of a de- ^
Ughtful situation
he will say it is
like "one big Forouan
happy family." On the other hand
the home is a very difficult place
to live, just because those who
make it up are so very different.
Anywhere else in the worid, for
Instance, a man has other meii he
can team up with; but in the home
father is the only man. He has only
a woman and children for com
pany. They love him and he loves
them; but they are all so different
that they are hard to tmderstand.
Siteial Jastiea ia the Hoaa
It is hard to comprehend the
meaning of "social justice" in so
ciety at large. The whole thing is
so complex wd enormous that we
seldom feel' certain of the an
swers. But when we look at a
single home, the problem is in
some ways clearer. For example;
The home makes it plain that “Jus
tice” is not the same thing as
treating every one precisely alike.
A good diet for mother may be a
poor one for father, and what
both of them eat may be poison
for the baby. Father, mother and
child have different parts to play
in the home, they have different
contributions to make, they need
from the home different benefits.
The Bible at many points deals
with the home, and if what is said
soimds too simple and common-
sense for inspired Scripture, we
must recall that the home itself,
which we take for granted, is it
self a product of the religion of
the Bible. One thing the Bible
makes plain is of the essence, of
justice: rights and responsibilities
go together. The father and the
mother between them furnish the,
support, they commaiui and teach.
Tb« Teadiing Motbar
No one wiU try to make fight
of a mother’s willing sacrifice in
bringing a chiM into Ute world.
But if an a woman does for her
children is to give them birth she
is not the Bible’s idea of a good
mother. A woman, who has a child
who, because of her ne^ect, is
, only a future thief or killer, mlgffit
better not have had the dfild at
an. The BlUe (as in Proverbs)
often brings out directly or in
directly the importance of a good
mother in a child's life. And the
thing often mentkmed is her serv
ice as teacher. She is the principal
teacher—or she can be, it she
gives her time and mind to it—
of her child for his first six years.
What has aU this to do with
“^istlce”? TWs modi, at least:
One important feature of justice,
in society or in the famfiy, is giv
ing each person an opportunity to
render all the service of which he
is capable. Hence if moUiers are
gcfing to be good teachers, we
must see how important the edu
cation of girls is. "Educate a boy
and jmu educate a future rr«m-
Educate a girt and you educate a
future family." If mothets ace to
be teachers, fiber, justice requires
that everyone, husband «««<i oom-
munity alike, give them every en
couragement and appaAxaOkf ta
five with their ehfidren.
