The Salem Tavern of Old Sa

an 18th century “ordinary” town
tavern in the South. An “or
dinary” was a type of inn where
meals were served only at regu

JOURNEY AMONG BRAVE
MEN by Dana Adams Schmidt
(Little, Brown $6.95). “For the
best reporting requiring excep
tional courage and enterprise
abroad” reads the award of the
Overseas Press Club to Dana
Adams Schmidt for his reports
on the seven weeks he spent in
Kurdistan among brave men. In
the mountains of northern Iraq,
western Iran, eastern Turkey live
the Kurds, great fighters, some of
them nomads with flocks of
sheep and goats, some raising
grain and fruit in the valleys, a
few in cities. They have their
own language, legends and a his
tory that goes back four thous
and years. In our schoolbooks we

knew them as the Medes.
Most of them still live and
think as tribes. Like the Scottish
Highlanders in the seventeenth
century they resist all efforts to
make them change their ways.
Ataturk tried to quell and absorb
the Kurds, various regimes in
Iran tried it, the U.S.S.R. encour
aged an independent republic but
gave it up when they could not
control it, and in this book we
see the Kurds of Iraq carrying oii
guerrilla warfare with the Iraqui
government under the leadership
of Mullah Mustafa Barzani.
In the spring of 1962 Barzani
decided he wanted to present the
cause of the Kurds to the West
ern world and invited members
of the press to visit him at his
mountain headquarters. The mes
sage was brought to Schmidt in
Beirut by some young men of the
Turkish underground who con
vinced him that it was authentic
and that Barzani would provide
adequae escort, once he was
across the border. Fine! but how
to get there? Well, how he did
makes quite a story as does the
account of the weeks he spent
traveling on horseback, mule-
back and on foot among the Kur
dish troops and villages. Over
evening campfires the Kurds
sang songs, told legends, talked
of their fights with Arabs, Turks,
Persians and other Kurdish
tribes.
Schmidt not only gained their
confidence and liked them; he
came to admire them for their
courage and generosity, their
dash and dauntlessness. He
quotes more than once the Turk
ish proverb, “The male is bom
to be slaughtered.” Death in bat
tle was just normal.
He says that the aim of Bar
zani and his followers is auton
omy under the Iraqui govern
ment with Kurdish language in
their schools, Kuirdish officials
in their district and other politi
cal and economic rights to put
them on an equal footing with
the Arabs of Iraq.
A FAMILY OF ISLANDS by
Alec Waugh (Doubleday $5.95).
This is a history of the West In
dies, the fourth volume in the
series. Mainstream of the Mod
em World. In this one Alec
Waugh tells the history of the
West Indies as you might expect
a novelist to tell it with islands
instead of individuals as charac
ters. The history covers four cen
turies from the time of Colum
bus to 1898 when the red and
gold flag was mn down at Hav
ana marking the end of Spanish
occupation. A final chapter gives
a resume of the twentieth cen
tury events, including Castro’s
regime.

four centuries includes the names
and deeds of such men as Drake,
Hawkins, Raleigh, Philip II of
Spain, Henry Morgan, the great
privateer who was later made
governor of Jamaica and the
three great figures of the Haitian
Revolution; Toussaint I’Ouver-
ture, Dessalines and Henri Chris-
tophe. It contains a parade of
exotic and incredible customs,
witch doctors and obeah spells,
sick slaves doctored with lemon
juice and powder to make them
temporarily fit for sale and the
horrors of the “Middle Passage”
from Africa.
Alec Waugh wrote the popular
novel, “Island in the Sun,” and
has written some nineteen other
books, fiction and non-fiction
This book is the result of a long
love affair with the Caribbean
where he spends a good deal of
his time. His home is in Eng
land.
THE ENGLISH WIFE by
Charity Blackstock (Coward-Mc-
Cann $3.95). Charity Blackstock
weaves a powerful spell, Eind it
is a tough reader who will not
succumb to it. True, after you
come to the end and get your
breath back, you may question
the credibility of certain harrow
ing situations, but at the time
you are carried cQong in a fine
whirl of stormy people and
strange tensions.
In any case it was all “once
upon a time” and in another land
—^yes, more than a hundred years
ago and in the bleak Highlands
of Scotland. A whimsical Eng
lish girl. London-bred and of the
gentry, goes to a ball and is at
tracted to a glowering Highland
er who looks totally out of place
there. They marry and she goes
with him to the extreme north
of Scotland where he is factor of
the large estate of the Countess
of Sutherland.
Contrary to all predictions the
two are very happy for ten years.
Then the English wife discovers
another side to her husband. He is
deliberately cruel to the crofters,
or small farmers, he has lied to
her about other things. But she
still is passionately in love with
him, and there are children.
What will she do? The situation
grows daily more unbearable.
Events move swiftly. There is a
fine build-up and a blood-curd
ling climax where poetic justice
is done.

would probably ho dressed hkoi
Egyptians and speak Egyptian.
On the streets of cities in Pales
tine Egyptian salesmen were fa
miliar figures, so Uiese twdhre
men had no trouble getting in
to Canaan or getting out again.
TiefnashopHrHiai
But what they saw! Great high
thick walls around every, dty; tall
strong men, prosperity and power
everywhere Hm twdhre men were
unaUhnotts on one p<dnt: Canaan,
was a beautiful mid fottle land,'
and wNl worOi taking if they
could. ... If they couHI Ihat
was where the IntcHigenee De-
partnient split. Big cities, yes;!
rich country, strong people yes.
But can we win in a war? Ten
men said No, Joshua and Caleb
said Yes. What the majority said
is remarkable. “We were as grass
hoppers in our sight, and so we
were in their sight.” This kind of
thinking is called nowadays an
inferiority complex, but we can
just as well call it the grasshop
per mind. If you think of your
self as a grasshopper, it is pretty
certain that no one else is going
to mark up the cheap price-mark
you have put on yourself. Those
Hebrews ha l come out of genera
tions of undernourishment and
hardship, and were no doubt little
undersized people compared with
the big bold Canaanites. So the
Ten said. We’ll never make it;
while only two men had resisted
the grasshopperism of their ten
companions.
They left God out
This was not the first time, nor
the last, that a majority has been
wrong. You can’t find out what is
right, you cannot have reliable in
formation about present facts or
future policies, by simply count
ing noses. Fifty million French
men can be wrong, smashingly
wrong. The majority report may
be the signpost on the road to
ruin. Now when a majority is
wrong, there is always a reason
for it somewhere. The reason is
plain in this case. The reader will
notice that the ten No-sayers said
only “we are not able . . . they
are stronger than we.” The two
Yes-sayers said “The Lord is with
us; do not fear them.” Now all
t,srael professed to believe in
God. It had not been long since
they made that covenant with
God at Mt. Sinai. But when it
came to a pinch, the ten grass
hopper men forgot all about God.
Ur.faith is expensive
Both faith and unfaith are ex
pensive. The tribesmen tc whom
ithe committee of spies reported
chose the way of unfaith and
they were 35 years paying for it.
Now the way of faith is expen
sive too, but in another way. Un
faith costs success, happiness,
honor, and ends in dismal failure.
Faith costs the effort, sometimes
a heroic effort, to live by it—a
faith you cannot live by and fight
for is no true faith. But it wins
the approval of God in the end.
Faith is like a power-tool. A
good one may be expensive; but
you do not save by taking a
cheap one instead. “Quality re
mains after the price is forgot
ten.” Pay for faith or unfaith you
must; but in the long run you
will wish (as the Israelites dying
in the wilderness no doubt wished
many a time) that you had chosem
the way of faith. Yet this too is
costly; cheap faith is not faith at
all. God approves men of courage
like Joshua and Caleb; but he
does not reward such men by
making life easy for them. Odd
as it may seem, it is God’s way
to make faith bard for believers.
