Protestant 'Noah' and His Family
Ark It to Israel on Steel-Hull Sailboat
HAIFA—A Protestant "Noah"
with wife and five blond sons in
tow saw his dream of reaching
"the land we love" come true
when their ark, the Pilgrim Ethel,
reached Israel recently.
Warren Hardy, 44, an electro-
magneto systems engineer, em-
ployed by the space industry in
Long Beach, Calif., decided to
Illustrated Book Shows
Great Houses of America
"Great Historic Houses of Amer-
ica" by Phyllis Lee Levin is a tour
of 50 of the greatest homes in the
country, spanning some 300 years
of American history.
Illustrated with more than 250
photographs in color and black and
white, many taken especially for
this volume, "Great Historic
Houses of America" also offers a
perspective on the Presidents,
statesmen, industrialists and writ-
ers for whom Wse magnificent
houses were simply "home."
Mark Twain writes of his Vic-
torian mansion in Hartford, Conn.:
"To us, our house was not insen-
ient matter—it had a heart, and a
soul and eyes to see us with; and
approvals, and solicitudes and
deep sympathies; it was of us, and
we were in its confidence . . ."
Mrs. Levin explores the story
that each home tells about its illus-
trous owner and about the times
in which he lived.
She covers the full spectrum
of American houses, both his-
torically and architects r a 11 y—
from New England Colonial to
the plantation homes of Virginia;
the Georgian manors, American
Greek Revival style homes and
the classic models of the Span.
IA-influenced residences of the
West.
Among the houses are Oak Hill
in Virginia, where the Monroe
Doctrine was created; Sagamore
Hill, the mansion of Theodore
Roosevelt that housed the intrigues
of international diplomacy; the
White House of the Confederacy;
the Moore House in Yorktown, Va.,
where the treaty ending the Revo-
lutionary War was negotiated; as
well as the White House, Mount
Vernon, Monticello and many more.
Mrs. Levin, author of "The
"Wheels of Fashion," an account
of the fashion industry and its
leaders, has been an editor for
Mademoiselle magazine and Har-
per's Bazaar.
I emigrate to Israel because of his
love for the country and faith in
its people.
Although his engineering friends
laughed, Hardy was determined,
and in 1964, began construction of
a family ark. It took him four
years and S20,0000 to complete
the broad-beamed and very solid
looking steel-hull boat with sails
and an auxiliary motor.
The family set sail for Israel
in 1968. The first two years
they went through the Panama
Canal and to the Atlantic Coast,
stopping in Texas and Virginia
so that the boys could attend
school. Then last 'June, the three-
month trip to Haifa began. De-
spite storms in the Pacific, Gulf
of Mexico and the Atlantic,
Hardy said the trip was not
at all catastrophic.
Now in Israel, the family has
been given a month's residence
permit by the coastal police and
plans to apply for a permanent
visa. If the family is allowed to
stay, Hardy says he will sell the
trusty Pilgrim Ethel and buy a
flat in Tel Aviv.
Power in Poetry
Reflecting 'Time
of Revolution'
Published both in cloth and as
a paperback, as "Poems From Our
Third World," the attitudes of our
time, the rebellion against injus-
tice, are represented in the volume
"In a Time of Revolution," edited
by Walter Lowenfels, published by
Random House.
The '75 selections, from as many
poets, represent a powerful re-
action to the society we live in.
In a prologue, his introductiry
essay, Lowenfels notes the "unique
development of modern sound that
Is adding a new dimension to
North American prosody," and in-
dicates the influence stemming
from these poems.
There are the street rhythms,
the atonal music, the effects of the
revolts in Watts and Mississippi.
The Afro-Asian role finds pow-
erful expression in many of
themes.
Children's Delight: Koch's 'Wishes, Lies, and Dreams
Poets will be delighted, --educa-
tors will be intrigued, young and
old will delight in poems by young-
sters compiled into a book by Ken-
neth Koch under the title "Wishes,
Lies and Dreams."
This Random House book des-
cribes how children are guided
and how they respond to poetry
writing and the very many poems
in this full-length volume attest
to efforts that created an interest
in poetry.
How this is done, the manner of
response, the enthusiasm created
— they are sources for educators'
interests in a labor that emerges
as an -art in child training.
Illustrated with photographs
of children writing and reading
their poems and with reproduc.
lions of their manuscript s,
"Wishes, Lies and Dreams" is a
Chelsea House book published
this week by Random House.
Kenneth Koch is a professor of
English and comparative literature
at Columbia University. His com-
ments in his new work include:
". . . Children have a natural
talent for writing poetry and any-
one who teaches them should know
that. Teaching really is not the
right word for what takes place:
it is more like permitting the chil-
dren to discover something they
- already- have_I helped them to do
this by removing obstacles, suc
as the need to rhyme, and by en-
couraging them in various ways to
get tuned in to their own strong
feelings, to their spontaneity, their
sensitivity, and their carefree in-
ventiveness .. ."
". . . The way of teaching . . .
worked as well with so-called de-
prived or disadvantaged children
as it had with others ... The rea-
son I say 'so-called' is because the
words deprived and disadvantaged
may be thought to apply to the
children's imaginations and their
power to create things, and they

"My country, right or wrong,"
is a thing no patriot would think of
saying except in a desperate case.
It is like saying: "My mother,

do not. The tragedy. for a teacher,
the hope and the opportunity—is
not that these children lack imagin-
ation, but that it has been re-
pressed and depressed, among
other places at school, where their
difficulties with writing and read-
ing are sometimes a complete bar
to their doing anything creative or
interesting. They needn't be. De-
gree of literacy certainly makes a
difference in a child's ability to
write easily and confidently, but
it does not form his imagination.
The power to see the world in a
strong, fresh and beautiful way is
a possession of all children .. ."
