Humbling Reminder

IN this prominently scientific age,
when there is a continuing tempta-
ton to elevate the sciences to deific
status, it is humbling to be reminded
that physics is not ultimate reality.
We are indebted to Nobel Prize-Win-
ming physicist. |. !. Rab for pointing
this out in his recent Compton lectures
at the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology.
Physics, he said, is a human system
worked out by humans for humans. It
has given men an effective means of
coming to grips with the material world.
But beyond its theories. equations. and
concepts lies the true nature of the real
world
That is why even the authority of
theorists as great as Newton or Eihstein
must yield before the continuing march
Of discovery.
1t is also why it is futile to look to the
material sciences for answers to cues
tons beyond their restricted realm.
What is the true nature Of life, of man.
OF God? To questions such as these the
sciences offer a very limited and matter
orlented approach.
The discipline of mathematical logic
and experiment which they entail helps
free the human mind from superstition
and vain speculation 1t reduces per-
ecelved phenomena to terms with which
the human mind can deal But it has not
proved very much one way or other

Why We Have Fear
Editor of Herald:

Editor of Herald.
Inez Robb, feature writer for
the Scripps-HoWard newspapers,
wrote an article several months
ago entitled Americans Now
Fear Each Other" She stated
that she found this disturbing
fact undeniable true during a.
recent broad swing around the
country Her concluding sent
tence was the following ques-
ton: What in heavens name
do Americans have to fear from
each other?" Perhaps the I'M
dersigned can give. at least in
part. some reasons for this dis
tressing situation.
Men and women Of America
are afraid, I believe, of a
President who continually asks
that his powers Of office be in
creased; who seeks to perform
the duties that rightfully belong
to the states, including the fields
OF education, care of the aged,

In The Name of Charity

When John F. Kennedy assumed
the presidency of The UAted
State, among his more noble
announcement was this: He said
none of his appointees would do
outside work for personal gain:
all the money they received for
the sweat from their brow, his
order said. would come as a
result of pay vouchers drawn on
the Federal treasury.
Thus his executive office was to
be kept pure, above mundane
practice.
No moonlighting, the order

Mr.. Taylor phoned DR.. Schle-

he asked, how did DR.. Schlesinger
reconcile the President 5 execu-

The dictatorial answer Mr..

adapt themselves quickly to flu

The most profitable industry
of Cape Ann. in those days, was
the granite du stry. There
were six large quarries in oper-
alton and Cape Ann owners
were shipping granite for build
ing purposes. and for paving
the streets Of large cities. Then,
two unforeseen events happened
which caused the stocks of these
granite companies to decline
suddenly from over 500 a share
to S. share. The largest ship
per of granite was the Rock
port Granite Company which
finally went into bankr lptcy.
These two unforeseen events
were ~ the development of the
automobile, W hi ch demanded
that the paying stones be COW

invention of cement. which be-
came a great building factor.
Those who had invested in the
granite business suffered severe
losses. The people who suffered
included the best families of
Gloucester and Rockport-and
even the banks.
Another branch of the Bah

sailing of three-masted ships

Faulkner Writes OF The South

OF FaulKner S work. For YOknap-
ataWpha County is the South in
miniature. and the history of its
land and people is Faulkner's
view OF the South, past and pres
ent. Most of Faulkner's stories
present episodes in the history
OF his county not in chronology
cal order. nor even always con-
slstent in details. Some of these
episodes are comic, with grim,
sometimes violent, humor. Other
episodes are tragic. with the
classic Greek sense of imped-
ing fate or the Old Testament
vein Of retribution for guilt.
From Faulkner's account of
Yoknapatawpha County, his
view OF the Southern predica-
ment would be something like
this: In the beginning the land
belonged to Indians, who lived
IN harmony with the laws of ma
lure. But when the white men
came, they brought with them
the evil institution of slavery,
which violated the dignity of
human beings. The legacy of the
land became contaminated, and
the sins of the fathers were
visited upon their sons for many
generations.
This retribution is demonstrate
ed in the fortune of the various
families whose members ap-
Pear in Faulkner's works. Sew
eral planter families built their
dynasties before The War Be
tween the States. Their family
fortunes decline after the war
not because of the military de-
feat OF the South, but because
these families have doomed
themselves with the burden of
slavery and miscegenation. The
descendants of these families US
ually abdicate their responsible
lty for leadership, and fall into
moral and spiritual dis;ntegra-
ton.
AS a dramatic contrast to
e S e aristocratic families,
Faulkner presents several poor
white tribes. Flem Snopes is the
most prominent of this group in
Faulkner's stories, and he also
becomes prominent in the So
ciety Of Yoknapatawpha County
AS an INSCRIPTIONS, shreWd, am
bilious poor white, he takes ov-
er a country store, then a vii
lage, and finally the bank at the
county seat. Thus the SnopeSes
move into the vacuum of lead
ershlp left by the decaying plant
er families. ...
This brief excursion into sociol-
ogy points to only one aspect of
Faulkner's Writings Books
could be Cand have BEEN
written about the Negro as
Faulkner viewed him, or Wom-
en- the Female or Retribu-
ton, and SO on. Faulkner's liter
