Diplomats visiting in Latin
America invariably remark on
the social unrest and complex
economic problems that they
observe there, warning that
communist agents are trying
to shape these restless forces
to their own ends. The Boga-
ta Conference called for “a
speedy effort ... in economic
and social progress,” in order
to preserve and strengthen
democratic institutions. Presi
dent Kennedy’s proposed
Peace Corps, however, has
called forth much controversy.
Those who criticize it point
out that, for more than a cen
tury, Catholic and Protestant
missionaries have been doing
what the Peace Corps is sup
posed to do, motivated not
only by patriotism and human-
itarianism but also by dedica
tion to the highest cause of all,
preaching Christ’s gospel to
every creature.

themselves in the Latin
American missions doing
“something for God,” for their
country and humanity.
“The people need them, with
needs that cry to the heavens,
with problems that mount to
the sky,” Bishop Walsh, Mary-
knoll’s Superior General, told
the young men’s families and
friends on Departure Day.
“The people need bread, the
people need health, the people
need livelihood . . .; they need
sympathy and guidance and
help, and above all, they need
God.” For six years Brother
Gonzaga labored in the jun
gles of Bolivia before meeting
his sudden death on February
11, 1952.
In spite of an uneven style,
Father Lyons who himself
served for thirteen years in
Peru and Bolivia, has present
ed the story of his fellow-
Maryknoller in a manner that
will appeal to the eager ima
ginations of young people. He
shows them many facets of
this quietly heroic life that
is within the capability of
most young Americans to imi
tate, yet infinitely beyond any
human calculation in its value.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR
DRINKING? by. John C. Ford,
S.J., Paulist Press, 1961, 128
pp., 75c.
Reviewed by
W. L. Schmidt
In an effort to inform Cath
olics particularly of the nature
and origin of many personal
problems, and to offer solu
tions, the magazine Informa
tion has for some years run
numerous articles on them.
The more significant ones
have now been gathered toge
ther in “Personal Problems.”
Here Betty Smith tells how
and why she became a “di
vorced” Catholic. Carmel
Martinez writes of the impos
sibility of a really happy mar
riage without outward signs of
love. Father George Hagmaier,
C.S.P., goes into detail on the
reasons for strained emotional
relationships in marriage. Oth
er articles include a very sym
pathetic discussion on confes
sion for the fallen-away Cath
olic; the subject of a young
man leaving the seminary; and
the proper understanding of
the problem of alcoholism.
But anyone interested in un
derstanding the problem of
drink and the drinker should
obtain the book “What About
Your Drinking?” This contains
easily understandable scien
tific facts on the subject, tell
ing how beverages are made,
and their reaction on the body
under certain circumstances.
Many bugaboos are dispelled,
land may lie for days in the
frozen white grip of snow;
along comes the “chinook,” the
snow eater, and before your
eyes the snow doesn’t melt
particularly, it just evaporates,
and the land is liberated. In
the Swiss Alps, the classic
Foehn, hot dry and dessiccat-
ing, and a brother or at least a
cousin of the chinook, clears
away winter snows, ripens
fruit in fall, and can bring
warmth and prosperity and
just as readily the terror of
flood, hot, gale winds and tin-
berbox conditions that' ever
threaten and sometimes de
stroy whole villages in con
flagration.
Servicemen with duty in
North Africa, Sicily, and south
Italy may have experienced
the sirocco. Depending on just
where it was experienced,
their accounts could and
would truthfully vary.
Tornadoes, hurricanes, ty
phoons and monsoons, and one
of my favorites, the Tehuan-
tepecer, are all covered in
Brown’s book, which, all con
sidered, is a marvelous over
view of one of God’s great cre
ations, the winds in which He
wrapped the world.
Back in March 1888, an un
seasonable storm blew into the
eastern seaboard and for days
locked that area in its icy grip.
Werstein has taken a fancy to
that respected event, has re
searched it, and has sketched
it out in fair detail. People
were not expecting the storm,
they didn’t take it very seri
ously when it was on them.
But it was momentary master.
Some people just walked home
and just walked to their death;
others sought to pass the time
away in saloons where some
mighty brawls were brewed.
Some New Yorkers walked
across the heavily frozen East
River from Brooklyn to Man
hattan; profiteers charged and
collected 5c for the use of a
ladder to get from the pier to
the ice and, on the other side,
10c to get them from the ice
to the pier. The storm wreck
ed all communication; it drove
the then familiar overhead
wires underground.
And Sister Irene at New
York Foundling Home, “re
vealed that for the first time
in the history of the home, not
a single baby had been left
either Monday or Tuesday
when normally, three to seven
infants were either abandoned
or placed there every day.”

For readers who have
known Lake Superior or any
one of her four sister-lakes,
William Ratigan’s Great Lakes
Shipwrecks and Survivals will
evoke memories overpowering
in their nostalgia for the in
land seas. The episodes built
around each of these lakes
personify forces of Nature that
“even the summertime sailor
who wants to enjoy another
season treats with uninter
rupted respect.” The Great
Lakes captains and their crews
provide epic-tales that can’t
fail to awaken responses in a
generation which commonly
shares the exaltation of soar
ing through space. Beginning
before the era when “people
caught boats as casually as
they do planes today,” the au
thor relates in dramatic se
quence account after account
of man’s daring and fortitude.
The reader will be stirred to
new appreciations of the land
and people he counts his
American heritage.
Here is more than a recital
of vital statistics on practically
every shipwreck since La
Salle’s Griffin. Rather, its
tone suggests a poetic insight
into those intimate associa
tions of land and lakes, of sail
ors and people along the
shores of each. One relives the
practice of checking positions
by the smell of cherry blos-
• soms off Grand Traverse Bay
and noting the time it took the
boat’s whistle to echo back
from the Pictured Rocks. The
“years with the blackest bor
ders” and the phantom Otta
wa drum sounding out the
death toll from Emmet County
are as vivid as the Carl D.
Bradley’s “Mayday! Mayday
. . .” The mariner’s laconic
“She sailed through a crack in
the lake,” the “ghost patrol of
flying Dutchmen,” and “No
canny Scott ever paid in ad
vance for a round-trip ticket
on Lake Huron!” are typical
of Ratigan’s style.
Great Lakes Shipwrecks and
Survivals is a book to be own
ed and picked up again and
again. The power and strength
of Reynold FI. Widenaar’s pic
tures have captured the dra
ma of the long ships in their
encounters with the fury of the
elements on the Great Lakes.
They heighten the impact of
the narrative with each suc
cessive reading. Master of the
techniques of his media, Wide-
paar uses them powerfully to
portray each memorable dis
aster and to create in the read
er deep insights into their
challenge for man.

THE BLUE AND
THE GRAY
Whatever your feelings
about the Civil War, it will be
hard to avoid black powder,
historical costumes and many
an argument during the pres
ent centennial observance.
Naturally, there will be more
than usual emphasis on the
Civil War for school children
this year. The years 1861-1865
are an important part of our
national heritage, and they
make up one of the most stir
ring and tragic periods in
American history. Children’s
book publishers are celebrat
ing the centennial in their own
way with books of every kind
on every aspect of the Civil
War. A good book for after
school enjoyment will do its
part to make battles, reasons,
people and events vivid to any
youngster.
The Searlef Raider by Jos
eph B. Icenhower is an histori
cal novel centered on the ever
fascinating Mosby’s Rangers.
There is fast moving adven
ture and a lively picture of
Confederate daring and cour
age. The publishers say it’s for
12 to 16-year-olds, but 10 to
14 would be more like it.
(Chilton, $2.95).
Yankee Trailer, Rebel Spy,
by Elinor Case is another his
torical novel, complete with a
spy plot complicated by friend
ship between young Charlie
Castle, Union soldier, and
Dade Henry, Confederate spy.
It is somewhat stereotyped but
adventurous. For ages 12 to 16.
(Westminster, $2.95).
Ulysses S. Granl, by Henry
Thomas, is an excellent biogra
phy of the gentle, war-hating
man (voted “least likely to
succeed”) who became the
Union’s greatest general. Un
like many junior biographies,
this one sketches a famous
person in depth without get
ting too cute or skipping too
much history. It is enlivened
with Grant’s own comments,
and offers a bibliography and
index. Nicely printed and stur
dily bound. For ages 12 to 16.
(Putnam, $2.95).
The Gray Sea Raiders, by
Gordon Shirreffs is a good sea
story. Confederate Midship
man Clinton Wallace meets
with all kinds of danger, in
cluding a very believable
escape-at-sea. There is a nice
balance between sea lingo and
normal speech; Mr. Shirreffs
is an accomplished story-teller,
