Allstair Mac Lean, the man who gave us “The Guns of
Navarone” and “Where Eagles Dare,” tells another hair
raising story In BEAR ISLAND. Just published, It already has
hit some of the best seller lists. BEAR ISLAND Is a lonely
and deserted island north of the Arctic Circle. A movie crew
with directors, electricians, camera men, actors and actresses
sail for the island to take some local color shots for an upcoming
arctic adventure film. As you might guess, movie making acts
as a blind for a much more serious mission--a search for illegal
gold. In the course of the telling, Mac Lean takes you from climax
to climax and through five murders before he lets you put his
book down. Here is another breathtaking tale of intrigue and
violence by a master of the art. (Doubleday, $5.95).
I would hazard a guess that more has been written and said
about the war in Vietnam than any war in history. General Thomas
A. Lane, now retired, adds his word in a book called AMERICA
ON TRIAL. The General gives us what he calls an overview
of the Vietnam war--how it could have been avoided, and how
it could have been won once we were involved. He says that
Vietnamization is no solution to the war and that it will end in
disaster. Instead, he proposes a plan for world disarmament.
(Arlington House, $7.95).
Ecology is the “in” word. Some people want to abolish DDT
and some talk about air poUution and the population explosion
or noise. No w comes a learned professor, John McHale, with
a book called THE ECOLOGICAL CONTEXT. He gives a careful
and thorough appraisal of all phases of the ecology problem
worldwide. McHale is the Director of Integrative Studies at
State University, Binghamton, New York. He says we must
redesign our overall ecological system before we use up
all of our food, energy and materials. (George Braziller, $7.95).
One of the great entertainment stars of all time, Joan
Crawford, writes about MY WAY OF LIFE. She reveals her
routine for keeping vital, young, beautiful and interesting.
She tells how to hold a job and how to organize your time and
energy to make the most out of yourself. She gives her own
recipes for entertaining, for home decorating and the beauty
secrets that make it possible for her to appear anywhere,
any time, looking her best. This is a book of sound advice on
how you can get more out of life. (Simon and Schuster, $7.50).
Anyone who likes to collect antiques--or anything for that
matter—will go wild over INCREDIBLE COLLECTORS, WEIRD
ANTIQUES AND ODD HOBBIES by William E. Carmichael.
Carmichael has spent a lifetime coUecting all sorts of odds
and ends. He pictures a man with a 300 pound ball of string and
tells about a man who collects skulls. Some of the odd items
that people collect include barbed wire, barn doors, elephant
hair, photographs of circus freaks, nails, stuffed animals, and
even glass eyes. (Prentice-Hall, $8.95).
Do you like to dabble in oU? Then study this exceUent art
instruction book, DISCOVERING OIL PAINTING, by George
Cherepov. Mr. Cherepov is an artist himself. But more than
that, he is an instructor. His book is richly illustrated, much
of Jt in full color. He presents the basics of painting in oils
in a clear, detailed text with step-by-step demonstrations.
He covers the entire process of oil painting from stretching
your canvas to applying the final coat of varnish. (Watson-
Guptill Publications, $11.95).

A CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR THE WORLD
At a time when so many problems confront our nation, there
is danger of retreating to an old adage: charity begins at home.
But there is an even older precept of brotherhood, universally
expressed in the Christmas message of goodwill to all mankind*
Most Americans know we cannot close our eyes and heart to those
who suffer hunger and hardship, wherever they may be.
It is in this spirit that the current CARE Food Crusade
appeal seeks to help feed 28,350,000 people, primarily children,
during the coming year. To complete the plan, in 35 countries or
areas whose resources are far less than our own, will require
$7,500,000. Host governments give operating support and the U. S.
donates farm abundance to cover the remaining costs.
Combined with CARE health and self-help programs, the food
is a tool to buUd future self-sufficiency. From Latin America
to Africa and Asia, our gifts will nourish 24,900,000 children
fed daUy at primary schools, preschool and nutrition centers.
Help will also go to disaster victims, to Pakistani refugees,
to impoverished villagers in food-for-work development projects.
Every contribution, at a dollar per food package or unit,
does a multitude of good. For example: $5 can give 1,500
children a nourishing bowl of porridge; $lO serves school
lunches to 10 students for 3 months. Yes, charity begins at
home but it cannot end there. You can make the world better
for people by mailing a check to: CARE, 615 Forsyth Building,
Atlanta, Ga. 30303.
ASKED TO ABOLISH JURY SENTENCING
The Governor’s Commission on Judicial Processes has re
commended in its latest proposal for Judicial reform that
jury sentencing in non-capital cases be abolished.
In the case of jury sentencing, the special Commission explains
that Georgia is one of only six states which still allows die
jury to determine the sentence in non-capital cases.
The origin of jury sentencing in this country has been att
ributed to the Colonial reaction to harsh penalties Imposed
by British judges and to the traditional distrust of concentrated
power in government, jury sentencing was an effective way of
individualizing justice--making punishment fit the criminal—
when an offender was usually well known to his relatively
homogenous, rural community. Today, this procedure produces
widely disparate results, even within one country. For example,
an Atlanta Crime Commission survey showed that when Juries
sentenced in burglary cases, first offenders received on the
average more severe sentences than repeaters. The study also
showed that repeaters elect jury trials more often and that
sentences imposed by juries have little relation to previous
convictions.
The first woman to occupy a seat in the U.S. Senate was
Rebecca Latimer Felton, a Democrat from Georgia. She
was appointed to the post by the Governor in 1922.
