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.

graphical novel by Thomas H.
Raddall, has just been announced

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-

have never been so prosperous,
the trouble with abundance—says
Mr. Larrabee—is that *“it is

to abolish poverty, let alone, sin;

Social Justice
l<esson for July' 10, 1060
QUALITY
CARPET —
il
'’pHE CHRISTIAN religion Is
A said to be a religion of love, and
so It Is. 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.
