FROM A LoNG-LosT DIARY
Robert Louis Stevenson
.
AS the Journey Ended

trovert the testing judgment.
Fanny's triumphant discovery
that IF cauliflowers get an oc-
casional watering with sea
water they will hold up in any
climate" is a case in point.
The editor, who naturally
finds Fanny q very interesting
character in her own right
and worth all the trouble she
put him to in reading through
scratched-out portions of her
diaries. has interspersed por-
tions of RLS' previously pub
lished accounts of their life in
Samoa. The contrast is al
most too much. Every line of
his is full of lightness, grace
and humor. In one lovely
passage, for instance, he re-
marks that he is happy, then
takes it back: IT was only hap
py once. and that was a Hyeres
But ] know pleasure still:
pleasure with a thousand
faces. and none perfect, a
Thousand tongues all broken, a
thousand hands and all Of
them with scratching nails"
Mrs. Stevenson, with her
eternal planting and manag-
ing. generalizes seldom. When
her visiting mother-in-law was
being a problem, II see again
she dislikes the life here which
we find so enchanting" she
says.
The Death Scene
Much Of the diary is taken
up with expression of the
Stevensons' passionate parti-
Sanship for the deposed native
King Metaafa and the bloody
civil war that broke out over
his claims. These old political
problems have little meaning
for the modern reader. Besides
RLS described them in his "A.
Footnote to History" In 1892.
There is a poignant descrip-
ton Of his death at A. by his
mother.
Mrs. Stevenson was formi-
daily practical. observant and
capable. And doubtless in
many ways the ideal helpmeet.
for RLS, who. the editor thinks.
perhaps regarded her more as
mother than wife. However,
in the opinion Of this reader.
she does not have the stuff Of
deathless diarists.

MAYBE I'M DEAD. BY Joe
Klaas. (Macmillan: $4.50J
This is a novel about POWs
in Germany which is obviously
based on the authors personal
experiences. Its main action
is q long forced march, in
freezing weather across Ger
many In the face Of the RUS
sian advance. Mr.. Klaas
presents his characters in UNI
vanished state-their Lam
guage, their emotions, their
heroism and meanness. There
are fiashbacks to tell how each
downed airman got behind the
barbed wire. It is all very
authentic. The experiences.
however. are much more vivid
than the characters involved in
them, making the book more
impressive as reporting than
as fiction. M. MEG.

By MARY McGRORY

It Is an age of promising
book titles. Sometimes it seems
that anyone with the price Of q
book has happiness within his
grasp. He is promised fuller,
richer, deeper, longer and in all
respects q more abundant life
II he will but follow the rules
set forth by the author.
In most Of these books. the
reader assumes the burden Of
guilt as between him and the
world. That Is to say. con-
formity is generally urged as
the means Of solving his prob
lens. Now. bucking the tide
comes "The Sane Society,"" by
Erich Fromm. which suggests
that maybe it's the world that's
wrong and not the individual.
DR.. Fromm. a psychiatrist.
presents an argument and a
solution that are complex. But
here is a sample of how few
promises he makes:
How can q sensitive and
alive person ever feel secure?
Because of the very conditions
Of our existence, we cannot
feel secure about anything.
Our thoughts and insights are
at best partial truths, mixed
with a great deal of error.
not to speak OF the unneces-
sary misinformation about life
and society to which we are
exposed almost from the day
of birth. Our life and health
are subject to accidents be-
yond our control. II we make
a decision, we can never be
certain of the outcome. Any
decision implies q risk of fall
ure, and If it does not imply
it, it has not been a decision
in the true sense of the word.
We can never be certain Of
the outcome of our best efforts.
The result always depends on
many factors which transcend
our capacity of control. Just
as a sensitive and alive person
cannot avoid being sad, he
cannot avoid feeling insecure.
The psychic task which a per-
son can and must set for him.
self is not to feel secure, but
to be able to tolerate insecurity
without panic and undue fear"

Luster on the South
A native Of Mississippi and
graduate Of the university, he
was a classmate and. as far
as he knows, first editor OF
the States most famous writ
ing man, William Faulker. Al
ways a friend and admirer Of
the Nobel Prize-winner, he
wrote one Of the earliest pub
lished appropriations Of Mr..
Faulkner. in November, 1892.
In it, he expressed the opinion
he always held fast to: Namely,
that even though Mr.. Faulkner
writes of degenerates and gives
q biased and twisted picture
of the South, he has made a
name for himself and casts
some luster on the South.
Mr.. Cochran first handled
Mr.. Faulkner's copy when he
was editor Of the ole Miss,
the University Of Mississippi
yearbook. Mr.. Cochran then
approached special student
Faulkner. who was known url-
kindly around the campus as
Count No Count" asking him
to write a poem for the 1920
annual. Mr.. Faulkner obliged
with ode to a Miss"
Il anticipated the critics"
says Mr.. Cochran with q grin.
II couldn't understand 1t. So

always peculiar. something Of
a genius.
But for a truer picture Of
his native heath, Mr.. Cochran
prefers some Of the younger
writer's, jefferson Young. au-
thor Of "A Good Man" and
Shelby Foote.
II can't understand" says
Mr.. Cochran. with the air of
q man who is going to do
something about 1t. why they

portray their part Of the coun-
try with the same impartiality
as, say New Englanders. write

City Non

The country would be wonderful
II only all the bugs
Had someplace else to live and
work
For instance, under rugs,
l love to flee the city streets
And all the city mugs,
To soothe my nerves in rural
peace
But l can't stand the bugs.
They bite and chew the whole
day through
And mostly upon me;
No sooner do / sit me down
Beneath a verdant tree
Than hordes converge from earth
and sky
With mandibles and fangs.
To SAVIOR of my flesh and blood
Like wild orangutangs,
/ limp back to the city with
My torso scared with bites,
With bumps and welts that burr
and sting,
And through the torrid nights
While traffic roars, and in the
streets
There roam the urban thugs,
/ try TO dream of rural peace
without, OF course, the bugs.
