THURSDAY, JULY 19, 1962 THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina Page THREE Some Looks At Books By LOCKIE PARKER YOUNGBLOOD HAWKE by Herman Wouk (Doubleday $7.95) is the story of a gifted Kentucky mountain boy who likes to write and his encounters with the met ropolitan worlds of publishing, theater and cinema. It is, of course, an unabashed reflection of the life of Thomas Wolfe. Wouk is a good story teller, an accomplish ed user of the English language and a practiced intellectual. The^ aspects of the author persist in his new work. Those parts of the book which deal with publishing give some interesting glimpses into that field. The relationship of th.3 young author, Hawke, with an older woman is well conceived and the best parts of the book are to be found in passages dealing with this. The characterization of Hawke’s mother—a persistent and keen mountain woman with raw good humor—is by far the best in the entire book. Unfortunately, in spite of all Wouk has to offer as an accom plished writer and all the subject of Thomas Wolfe, no matter how worn, has to offer, the combina tion just does not work. The book is far too long. Wouk may have enjoyable. The disappointments in both author and subject are more likely to outweigh the good points of the book, even at a penny a page. —A. C. M. HOW LIKE AN ANGEL by Margaret Millar (Random House $3.50). Summer is a good time for thrillers and chillers, they keep your mind off the heat and require little effort. Often the only difficulty is to stop once you’ve started. This one, with a stark tower behind a white-robed figure on its cover, is both a chill er and a mystery. Joe Quinn, erstwhile private detective in Reno but now foot loose and broke, is hitchhiking his way to the coast. He finds himself at dusk in a desolate stretch of mountain country. The only chance of food and shelter a^ pears to be “The Tower.” This turns out to be the home of an austere and fanatical religious community, but he is kindly re ceived by Sister Blessing, fed and offered shelter. Talking to Sister Bdessing, he tells her that he has worked as Bookmobile Schedule IS i.<*l too AOlAg. iicx mov boen trying to mimic Wolfe’s ver-! a private detective and she asks bosity but the lyric quality of him to do her a favor, to go to Wolfe is completely lacking. It may be for this samfe reason that the emotions of Hawke are so in adequately portrayed. Wolfe was something like a comet streaking across the field of literature; Hawke seems to lumber along and occasionally bog down in the mire of contrived situations that connect the various parts of the book. Wouk has failed to take advantage of the editor-author relationship that was so important to Wolfe and instead turns the re lationship into an ill-fated love affair. Because Wouk is the craftsman he is and because one expects more, the book proves harmless enough reading, at times even Paintuig’sPASr mthlWDiiPont lUCITE’ WALL PAINT No stirring, no priming.

Southern Pines the town of Chicote and find one Patrick O’Gorman, not talk to him, just find him. Then the scene shifts to the small town of Chicote. Quinn’s search gets him into some sur prising situations that arounse his curiosity and then his fighting spirit. The strange tangle of hu man relationships that connect some highly respected citizens of Chicote with the queer group at the Tower is excellently handled and so is the gradual unraveling of a five-year-old mystery. THE SHAPES OF SLEEP by J. B. Priestly (Doubleday $3.75). Priestly has written so many kinds of good books that when he turns his hand to a mystery, you expect something out of the or dinary, and you get it. The dour Sterndale, journalist out of a job, is hired to find a mysterious green paper that has disappeared from the desk of an advertising executive. The trail loads him to night clubs, to high and low parts of London, to Ham burg and on to two delight ful old German towns—^nit bad, as the advertising agency is paying expenses. He meets spies, counter spies, ladies who try to lure him from the trail. And still one wonders what was on that green paper written by an elder ly German professor that was wanted so badly by both the Com munists and an American adver tising agency. Priestly uses the occasion to give you his views on the way the world is going, so his story has a point as well as a plot. LITTLE BROTHER IS WATCH ING by Waller Dillon (Houghton Mifflin $3,951). This is not proper ly a mystery, though there is a most villainous looking spy on I the jacket. You might call it a CHARLES L. HUNLEY Hunley Named to Head 8th District Executive Group Charles L. Hunley, Monroe business man, has been appoint ed chairman of the Eighth Con gressional District Democratic Executive Committee, it has been announced by Bert Bennett, State Chairman.

Hunley will also preside as chairman of the district caucus at the 1964 State Democratic Con vention. Hunley has been active in covm- ty and state party affairs for a number of years and was a strong supporter of Kitchin in the Dem ocratic Primary in May. He has £.3rved as a precinct conunittee- man for three terms and is now treasurer of the Union County Democratic Executive Committee. He is executive vice president and manager of BeUc Brothers, Inc., at Monroe, an officer and director in severEil Belk corpora tions, and connected with other business in various capacities.

Varde, the security officer, yearns to find some saboteur ,some in former, even an honest-to-good- ness Communist, but the materi als are unpromising. Nevertheless Varde multiplies his staff of guards and searchers, adds more and more intricate mechanical devices to protect the plant. The company directors don’t mind, for their contract calls for cost plus. Eventually Varde’s eager inves tigators run into opposition from some of the townspeople, especial ly a doughty librarian of eighty and the venerable head of the lo cal police. They don’t like peo ple who pry. But it takes a really worldly wise character, a lady with whose illicit business he has interfered, to finally stop Varde in a hilariously farcial ending.

Casualty, Was Visitor Here The trouble in South Viet Nam came close to home last week with the news of the death in ac tion of Captain Don Joseph York, formerly of Asheville. Captain York and his wife were close friends of Mr. and Mrs. Karl Stu art, of 250 N. Page Street, and Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Harvat whom they visited here last year. The young captain, only 29, who was in Viet Nam with the U. S. Mission as an advisor, was killed in ambush by guerilla fighters. He was the seventh American to lose his life in the jungle sector. He was due to return within a few weeks and to rejoin his wife, the former Joanna Mooney, and their two children in Asheville. Married soon after his gradua tion from West Point in 1954, the couple had lived in various army posts including four years in Alaska, coming finally to Ft. Ban ning when the officer volunteer ed for duty with airborne troops. Following graduation from the parachute school, the next move was to Ft. Bragg where the cap tain received his commission and assignment as a company com mander. The couple lost no time in call ing up their old friends in South ern Pines and, thereafter, paid many visits here. Mrs. York had roomed with Mrs. Harvat and Mrs. Stuart when the three were working in New York before their marriages and the reunion was a most enjoyable one. Since her husband’s absence overseas, Mrs. York and the chil dren have been living with her mother and step-father, Mr. and Mrs. Edward C. Coleman, of Weaverville.

Come and see us mornings For Summer Reading for Children and Adults C0W1ITRT SeORSBOP P ATRIOTISM is called love of one’s country, but it means more than that. “Country” can mean hills and valleys, rivers and mountains, as we sing in our hymn “My Coun try, ’tis of Thee , . .” But while these physical surroundings can stir our hearts (and even plain and ugly land scapes can seem beautiful if they speU Home), real Dr. Foreman patriotism means a love and loyalty to the people who live in the land, our fellow- citizens. Patriot In Jail In our time the accusation is sometimes brought against the Christian ministry that it is un patriotic, which in the present situation usually means “com munist.” This accusation is wildly false, but it is not new. Men of God—just because they were true men of God—have been called bad names like traitor, more than once. A notable example is the Biblical prophet Jeremiah. He was easily the most unpopular man in the country. Few believed him or believed in him. B’rom the ruling class right down to the masses, he was considered to be a bad character. More than once he was put in jail or under house arrest as a dangerous character. Yet he was, as history acclaims him, one of the great patriots of Ihe Jewish people. How do we know he was a pa triot if his contemporaries could not see him in that light? For one thing, we now know, as his con temporaries would have known in time, that he was right. What he said would come true, did come true. Realism Another reason why we can see that he was a real patriot was that he did not pretend that all was well with his nation. He was brave and clear-sighted enough to speak out against abuses in church and state. He swung a strong axe against the trees of evil that overshadowed the land. He talked very plainly about the sins and crimes of men at the top. He did not even pretend to believe that his country could come out victorious after any war they chose to get into. He did not agree that God loved the children of Israel better than he loved any other nation, or that only in Israel could servants of God be found. He even publicly called Nebuchad nezzar, an invading king, a ser vant of God. About the future of his country he had no illusions. He saw that their only hope was to yield to Nebuchadnezzar and to become a part of their empire; but this the Israelites could not think of doing. Their recipe for national security was military al liance with Egypt, a suicidal policy as Jeremiah tried to tell them. So they accused Jeremiah of being an enemy of his country. But how much is a country helped by people who can never see any thing wrong in it? A True Patriot In all the hullabaloo over Jere miah, people in his city either did not know, or would not notice, some facts that marked the man as a genuine patriot. For one thing, he went to some trouble to buy land, in an area already controlled by invading armies. The prophet thus expressed in a practical (and expenave) way his conviction that (so to speak) teere would always be a Judah. Fur thermore, though we know he had opportunities to do so, he never went over or “defected” as we say, to the Babylonians. And at the end, so as to stay with his own people, he chose banish ment, poverty and death ratlier than live in comfort in Babylon. In the one-sided war between his country and Babylon, he could see that Babylon was stronger by far; but his own people were his own, and he loved them. Prof. Harold Berman once said: “If we really want to defeat communism there is only one way to do it . . . It is the one thing that people who talk about fight ing communism generally fail to mention. We must construct a social order in which the goals of justice, mercy and morality take precedence over economic secu rity, political power and techno logical process.” Some would call the writer of such lines no patriot; but what he says is in the noble tradition of Jeremiah the prophet.
