And SO our world has too little
of the poet spirit
There are too few Vernon
Wards. He is a poet of hope who
retains a deep faith in mans
destiny on this earth. ''Of dust
and stars man is made, he sings.
Conscious of the great sorrow
and evil, he declares:
'No need to cry to God;
We are doin the blasting"
Then, speaking to those who do
the paying - and the dying -
he says:
eve have been paying for
heaven and getting hell"
A native Southerner, graduate
of the University Of North Caro-
lima, this poet sees the solution of
the race problem in simple
Christian terms:
words are broken arrows
They cannot reach the mark. !"
But -
'The solution to the race ques-
ton is to forget race.
Nothing wipes out color faster
than friendship"
Digging his living up from the
Carolina soil, this poet lives
with everyday reality and
truth. "War is loves essence lost,
he writes. But:
Each day / hope to hear
That nations, classes, races,
creeds,
Are to merge into brotherhood
That the whole earth is to be
Our common neighborhood."
Then, contemplating history,
the fact that even a Jesus lay in
prison, Vernon Ward says:

New Light
On Nouh

Professor Arnold Sorsby, Re-
search Professor in Ophthalmo-
logy at the Royal College of Sur
geons and Royal Eye Hospital
says that an account of Noah's
birth given in the Book of Enoch
is clearly not that of a miracu-
lous child but of an albino.
In an article in the British
Medical Journal" the professor
includes the Dead Sea Scrolls a.
mong his sources of information
on Noah, whose appearance at
birth, described in the Book of
Enoch, is "a body white as snow,
hair white as wool, and eyes that
are like the rays of the sum-"
In a fragment of a particular
ly badly preserved scroll from
the Dead Sea caves the story is
told that Lamech, Noah's father
who was assured by his wife,
who addresses Lamech as 20 my
brother" and 20 my Lord" that
Noah was his child not the child
of any stranger or of any of the
Watchers, or of the Sons of Hea-
ven. In the light of this fragment,
says the professor the account of
Noah's birth is clearly that Of an
albino.
The fragment also allows some
conclusions on how Noah Inherit
ed his albinism. 1t has been held
says the professor, that Lamech's
wife was also his sister. Thus
Noah was the offspring of an ex-
IRENE type Of consanguineous
marriage. The first recorded case
of albinism shows parentage Of
this nature.
Another authority calls La
mech's wife his cousin - a COM
mon type of consanguinity in al
binism. If Lanech and his wife
were brother and sister, however,
it would enable Methuselah, La
mech's father, to claim the addi-
tional distinction of being the
first authenticated carrier Of all
binism, unless the distinction be-
longs to his anonymous wife.
On either reading, says Profess
sor Soresby, the consanguineous
origin Of Noah's albinism is be-
You'd question. Lamech and his
wife not only produced Noah
but also made genetic history.

I mention this merely to estab-

More to the point, here in Colora-
do we have peculiar kind of in
tegration filled with innumerable
little cruelities, although we are
making some progress. Last fall
for example, the Democrats, in a
county that is about evenly bal
anced party-wise, enticed a Mexi-
can, i.e., Spanish-American, to
run for a county political office.
The Democrats promptly desert
ed him and voted, largely, for his
Republican opponent who won.
However, all of the Spanish peo-
pie, temporarily lulled into a
feeling of social and political ac-
ceptance, voted for all the Demo-
crat candidates and they, with the
exception noted, all won. A neat
bit of skullduggery calculated to
win elections and irritate people.
However, we are moving along.

A Book
Review
OF DUST AND STARS
BY Vernon Ward
Exposition Press
New York
By Don West

Don't be misled by the title of
this collection of poems. Vernon
Ward is not a man whose eyes
are clouded by star dust. He is
keenly conscious of his world, its
beauty and good, and all its ugly
and mean.
Hard-headed practical men"
sometimes dismiss the poets role
as visionary" or "a dreamer
out of touch. They look down a
practical nose at the poor poet
who may, in the spirit of Geor-
gia's Sidney Lanier, consider
trade and commerce. as 'war
grown na;ser1y'' and want no
+ part of then.
True, there have been, and are,
those who seek to escape from
the world and themselves in an
abstract art. They have the err
roneous notion that to create
poetry they must leave the realm
of humanity, of man and his wor-
ries, or his hopes. Such futile es-
capist efforts characterize too
much of what passes as modern
poetry.
In history the poet has been
mankind's conscience. The proud
and undivided beauty inherent
in all life, the faith that nothing
human is alien to the poets pen,
has been the major theme of the
great poets. Sometimes this spirit
has been submerged or deferred
by a Grass materialism whic al
ways seeks to kill the poet. 1t
such times it may for a while
lie dormant like a pregnant seed.
But in every age the poet has
lifted his voice, even as one cry
inc in the wilderness. For not al
ways do the people hear or I'M
derstand. Sometimes the people
are too much under the influence
of the practical" men who
preach and live materialism be-
cause they know not the spiritual.
But the poet looks and sees deep
ly. His role is to keep alive the
finest potential for the peoples
future, to enliven and feed the
sensitive and gentle inner heart
of man, full of hope and promise.
Jesus had his poet spirit. His
greet, searching hunger for beau
ty and peace and love to grow in
the heart. of man was boundless.
But theologians substituted
hard "practical"--unfeeling dogma
for that poet spirit Hardly could
they have maintained status in a
greedy, violent world by preach

Since discovering The Petal

your unvarnished, human, coura-
geous, penetrating prose. My
heartfelt sympathies go to you
because my case is similar to
yours. The big difference is that I
lack your articulateness and CUTS.

Just sure what this term current

I am a Chamber of Commerce
manager, who, for many years
was a union member and, who,
these days gets along very well
with unions and firmly believes
in them. In fact, I hold to the
stubborn and unpopular theory
that our economy can only pro-
gress with strong management
and strong union structures. Ere
quently I have stood for correc-
tive and against punitive labor
