"Music" by Frederic V. Grunfeld:
Each stage of historical
development reveals something new
and important about the cultural
phenomenon thai is music. Here are
the monks chanting their devotion; the
troubadours singing of a love that was
deep, sensual, and far from idealized:
the baroque ensemble seeking to
please a patron; Louis XIV of France
the Sun King-demonstrating his skill
on a guitar.
The history of music is filled with
giants - the virtuoso organist Bach; the
prolific, revered Papa Haydn; that
genius for all seaons Mozart; tragic,
impassioned Beethoven. Here, too, is
the story of such romantics as Chopin
and Liszt: the Mighty Five who
revolutionized Russian music: the
twentieth-century titan Igor
Stravinsky; modern innovators like
Schoenberg, von Webern, and Berg.
Finally, there is the story of jazz and
the ultimate sound of our own
generation, rock. It has remained for
the Beatles in the decade just past, the
author suggests, to bridge the gap
between classical and popular music,
to demonstrate that "the art of music
will once more be a continuum instead
of a series of independent and
soundproof compartments."
"Revelations: Diaries of Women"
edited by Mary Jane Moffat &
Charlotte Painter:
In this volume thirty-three women
reveal their private truths to their
diaries. They are from many different
countries and periods of history and
yet they share a universality in their
revelations, a common concern not
only for the nature of women but for
the forces that shape their lives.
Among many are these: George
Sand. Virginia Woolf. Ruth Benedict.
Kaethe Kollwitz, Marie Bashkirtself,
Anais Nin. Alice James. George Eliot.
Sophie Tolstoy and others.
"Chooang a Nursing Home" by
Jean Baron Nassau:
How to assess the quality, range,
and type of care offered. And once the
choice is made, how to help the
patient adjust to his new situation.
"Cooking Should Be Seen" by Beth
Tartan:
In the beginning man with his
woman by his side cooked food over
an open fire as that was the only way
they knew Whatever they had they
put it on a spit and as it cooked the
family hovered around working up an
appetite. It was togetherness before
the word was added to the language.
In time the wood stove replaced
cooking outdoors and cooking in the
Fireplace. Gradually the cozy old wood
stove went to the junk yard and along
came the spotless laboratory white
range which lacked the magnetism of
die open fire and wood stove. Man
sensed something was lacking. The
charcoal grill proved the answer and
once again there was togetherness as
main reigned over the coals.
This might well be called the age of
show-off cooking as more and more
people are Finding nothing shows off
any better than food. It is a new status
symbol. It fits into the
do-your-own-thing craze. It Fits into
what the psychologists call "encounter
groups" which try to learn to use the
senses of seeing, smelling, hearing and
touching to become more aware of the
world. Nothing touches all these senses
the way food does.
"An American in the Gulag" by
Alexander Dolgun:
The Prophetic English voice of
Orwell foretold its coming. The
majestic Russian voice of Solzhenitsyn
revealed its existence. Now, in a
narrative that holds the reader nonstop
through the night, the unmistakably
American voice of Alexander Dolgun,
compelling himself to reconstruct his
years-long ordeal at the hands of the
Soviet Secret Police, will for the first
time make Americans know the
chilling human experience of Gulag.
"Rivers West" by Louis I'Amour:
The year is 1812. The westward
expansion of the United States
boundaries brings into the barely
settled, rich, river valleys and forests
thousands of adventuring people - true
pioneers and patriots as well as
scoundrels. fortune-seekers, and
thieves. Filled with authentic historical
detail and rugged, pioneering
characters. Rivers West is solid
storytelling at its best.
"Allegra" by Clare Darcy:
A novel of Regency England. Miss
Darcy, as always, brings to life a
charming, spirited heroine, an urbane
Gentleman of the Ton to match her,
and the glowing background of tine
period.
"Caribbean Isles" by Peter Wood
and Time/Life eds.
Embracing a warm and fecund sea,
the islands of the Caribbean comprise
two major groups, the Greater and
Lesser Antilles. To the west lie Cuba,
Jamaica. Hispaniola and Puerto Rico.
Curving like a shepherd's crook to die
east are the smaller islands - some of
them, such as Aves off Dominica, mere
pinpoints in the sea.
Despite centuries of colonization
and yearly flocks of sun-seeking
tourists, these islands still contain wild
areas of dazzling diversity:
10.000-foot mountains, vine-choked
rain forests, labyrinths of limestone
caves and colorful coral reefs.
Read Jeremiah 1:4-8.
John 1 :l>-13
Be transformed by the renewal of
your mind, that you may prove what
is the will of God. (Romans 12.2.
RSV)
J B Phillips in his Letters to
Voung Churches translates ??will of
God" as "plan of God". God has a
plan for each of us. He never tells it
to us in advance but unfolds it
moment by moment as we
confidently walk in step with Him.
'What if God should whisper in
my ear what He wants me to do
today?
?What if He has plans for me that
I could never design myself?
?What if He expects more of me
that I feel I can do?
The possibilities are endless. What
if . . what if I am chosen of God? It
is a staggering thought I am unique.
There is no one like me in all the
world. God has given me His Spirit
that is as close to me as the air I
breathe. The word spirit comes from
the Latin word spiritus, meaning
"breath." Breathe in God! I can
literally inhale the spirit of God. I am
no longer powerless. The very breath
of God is in me. He has chosen me.
PRAYER: "Breathe on me. breath
of God." Fill me with Your spirit so
that I may touch as many lives as
possible for you. Amen
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY We
cannot make over our lives, but we
can give our lives to One who can
and will.

$2,976,000 In F ederal
Aid To Hoke County
(Special to The News-Journal)
NEW YORK. May 16 - In the
distribution of Federal funds to states
and localities across the country, via
grants-in-aid and revenue sharing, how
has Hoke County been making out?
What portion of the S44.6 bdlion
that was distributed by Washington in
the past fiscal year percolated down to
the local area?
According to state-by-state figures
compiled by dte Tax Foundation, a
non-profit research organization that
serves as a watchdog over public
spending, its allotment was relatively
large.
The grants earmarked for local
purposes under a variety of
community aid programs came to
approximately S?,<176,000. it is
estimated from a breakdown of the
state figures.
The money was awarded for such
purposes as public housing, education,
health, child welfare, job training, road
construction, food stamps and die
hke.
Throughout die State of Nordi
Carolina as a whole, die grants totaled
S%6,000.000. the Tax Foundation
reports, based upon data it obtained
from the Treasury Department.
The figures take into account only
direct aid and revenue sharing. They
do not include other Federal
expenditures, for goods and services,
in local communities.
On the other side of the ledger is
the cost of the benefits. They are paid
for out of Federal income and excise
taxes collected from each area and
allocated to the aid programs.
Hoke County's share of these costs
came to approximately S2,797,000 in
the year. The statewide contribution
was S909,000,000. The amounts are
exclusive of matching funds.
In some areas the costs involved
exceeded the benefits. In others the
reverse was the case.
The Tax Foundation finds that 23
of the states paid a premium for the
aid they received. The remaining 27
came out ahead.
Indiana was at the bottom of the
heap, paying SI.58 per every S1.00 it
got back in aid. Alaska was at the
other end. Its cost, per S1.00 of aid,
was only 36 cents.
In explanation, the Government
states that there is no attempt a?
equalization, that community needs
and requirements are the determininz
factor.
