o THURSDAY, JULY 7, 1960 THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina Some Looks At Books By LOCKIE PARKER Miss Parker is on vaca tion. Her column is written by guest reviewers this week. Confession used to be good only lor the soul, but today it is better for the bank account. How much better is revealed by William K. Zinsser in the lead article of the July issue of “Horizon” maga zine. This hard-bound “magazine” is taking its place with books on many library shelves and reviews of its monthly issues often appear en book pages of newspapers. A few years ago anybody with an addiction to alcohol, drugs, or adultery did his best to keep it quiet. But today an overripe past, if confessed with sufficiently ex plicit detail, can be worth—judg ing by the examples Mr. Zinsser cites m “Privacy Lost”—as much as $750,000. Even more profitable than the urge to teU all is the urge to know everything. Amateur bab bling and professional snooping are both big business; between them, privacy is going out of Ame”ican life even faster than the rhoney is coming in. ■ Going with it are such once-prized qual ities as modesty, taste, and good manners. As a result, says Mr. Zinsser, it is “no wonder that Arthur Godfrey’s ravaged lung and President Eisenhower’s intes tinal functions were front-page news.” And no wonder, too, that one must now pay heavily for the privilege of keeping one’s tele phone number unlisted (and therefore uncalled by pollsters, insurance salesmen, and other hucksters); that RCA is planning a radio network to pipe canned music and pharmaceutical com mercials into 25,000 doctors’ of- ifces (what will rock-’n-roll do to your blood pressure?); or that a plan is now afoot to project Cin erama-sized advertisements on hitherto virgin mountainsides and low-lying clouds. But if we have too little pri vacy, we seem to have too much of everything else. That dilemma Century,” Mr. Larrabee concludes that •'Abundance, to say it once again, is not a social soporific but a call on society and its members to transcend themselves. It leaves as no alternative but—and here it comes—“to think." Besides these trenchant com ments on the American scene, the newest issue of “Horizon” con tains thirteen other profusely il lustrated features ranging from a full-scale survey of the Baroque age to a satirical deflation of the mystique of bullfighting. Alto gether this issue has 125 pictures, 33 in full color. —Q. T. “The Governor’s Lady,” a bio graphical novel by Thomas H. Raddall, has just been announced the winner of the 1959 Doubleday Canadian Prize Novel Award. Es tablished to promote and stimu late interest in both Canadian au thors and Canada itself, the Prize Novel Award is granted annually at the judges’ discretion, to the best novel on an essentially Can adian subject. The winning au thor, who need not be a Canadian citizen, received an award of $10,- 000—$2,500 as an outright prize and $7,500 as ah advance against the author’s earnings. The con siderable number of Canadians who live in the Sandhills or visit here make the book of interest lo cally. In addition to winning the Canadian Prize Novel Award, ‘The Governor’s Lady” has also been named the December, 1960, selection of the Dollar Book Club. The regular publication date of the book in the United States, and in Canada (by Doubleday Canada Limited), will be Sep tember 9. “The Governor’s Lady” will be published in the British Empire (except Canada) 'by 'Wil liam Collins Sons & Co., Ltd. Mr. Raddall’^ novel is the true story of Frances Wentworth and her husband, John, who became governor of Nova Scotia thanks as much to his wife’s wide-rang ing affairs with prominent men as to his cwn na''ve abilitj', which was considerable. The au- Bookmobile Schedule is explored by Eric Larrabee in *thor has lived in Nova Scotia most another Horizon’ article, “After of his life and has written more Abundance, What?” Although we have never been so prosperous, the trouble with abundance—says Mr. Larrabee—is that *“it is whimsical; it descends unevenly, slighting a necessity here to be stow a luxury there. It has failed to abolish poverty, let alone, sin; and it satisfies private demands . . . sooner than public ones. It vfill provide tall fins and tele vision sooner than parks, schools, or unpolluted air and water.” In this final installment of his series, “American Mores at Mid- than ten books, including “The Path of Destiny,” the third vol ume in Doubleday’s Canadian History Series.

It is love that makes it beautiful and gives it meaning. But just as the beauty and meaning of literature is built on the humble foundation of the alphabet, just as the beauty and the security of a house go down to the unseen foun dations, so love itself is a stam- mering weak thing if it is not built on the foim- dation of Justice. Love without justice is sloppy Foreman sentimentality, it is double-talk. It is drivel. Social Justiet God’s prophets, whose writings are part of the Christian Bible, were interested in social justice. They were interested because God was interested. People who think that social justice is no affair of religion at all, either haven’t read the prophets, or really don’t believe them. Let us get straight what "social justice” is. It has nothing to do with socialism, or with social affairs as written up for the soci ety pages. It is different from political or legal justice. (These two, of course, should also be a concern of Christians.) An ex ample of political justice would be giving major parties equal time on the radio and TV. An example of legal justice would be getting paid a fair price for land the gov ernment has taken for a highway. Social justice is broader and more beisic than that. In a word,’ it means fair treatment all Sroimd. It does not mean treating everybody exactly alike, because people’.s needs are not always the same. But it does mean giving everybody a “fair shake,” an honest deal; it means not handicapping people for “reasons” that make no difference. It moans giving every one a chance to develop all he’s got. In the time of the prohpet Amos, the people who needed social jus tice and were not getting it were the poor. He speaks of them, and of the Israelites’ mistreatment of them, over and over. They were cheated out of justice in the courts because they could not afford to offer the handsome bribes that richer people gave. They were cheated in .the marketplace be cause the merchants used dis honest weights and measures. They had no one to speak for them—no one but the God who spoke through his prophets. Social justice now also is often needed by the poor. Discrimination —^^a fancy word for unfairness—is practiced also against racial groups—^Negroes, Puerto Ricans, Chinese and others. But the poor, of all races, always need help. For example, housing projects are not a way of wasting the taxpayers’ money. They are a way of helping people live In humanly decent sur- roimdings. 'There is a city which is the capital of one of the states of the Union. In it there is a slum that can be seen by any visitor to town. The city has had a slum clearance authorized now for some years; but they are doing little about it. TYhy? It is against the law to move a family out of the most rotten tenement except Into a better house. But most of the people who live in ttiat particular slum can’t afford to move. So there they Sit. SacklasK of ln|iittieo Amos told his peopio that unless they paid more attention to the welfare of the bottom layers of. society, the whole country would not only suffer—it would be de stroyed. Social injustice is always self-destructive. Consider only one modem example. Here in America we need educated leadership — scientists, thinkers, men of trained minds and skills. One of the rea sons we do not get enough of them is that (as studies have demon- i strated) many capable young ' people do not have the money for ; an education. Some who have the capacity never show it, for the simple reason that their homework in high schools has to be done in crowded, leaky. Insanitary “homes” where you could hardly raise a prize pig, let alone a prize boy. Every time we in America, for reasons of poverty, or race or any other reason, deny a good educa tion to young people who could take it, we are weakening our country by just that much.
