R O W E Now that the state basketbaU tournaments are over and the college coaches have been given a bleachers’ eye-view of the out standing senior hoopsters, notice should be given that the hunting season for prospective college material will soon be in force. No holds will be barred as rival BROOKINGS-HARBOR PILOT - mentors put on the pressure to Lolster their standings with victory-minded alumni and all that the stars will need to do is sit back and wait for the highest bidder. Odd as it may seem in a nat ion which bemoans its lack of scientists, the boy with the abil ity to put a basketball through the hoop, or make a touchdown, or to knock a baseball out of the park, will be tlv one who gets the largest financial assist toward getting a college educat- RUMMAGE SALE V.F.W.

BROOKINGS, OREGON TOP BUG Certainly, no one ever hears of alumni «^making the financial road any easier for the lad who is cursed with just having brains. On the other hand, in any town you might name, the loyal grads of old State U. will see to it that the area’s best athlete is given an opportunity to partake of the scholarship pie at their old alma mater. Rearely do they beat the scholarship drum for PeeWee Smith who has been amazing his teachers for years with his math ematical prowess. As a result, one cannot be blamed too much if he wonders as to the eventual outcome. I will admit that entertainment is an important part of our daily life, and I will go along with the theory that physical development of our youth is also important; but I fail utterly to see either should take precedence over oth er essential elements in our ed-J ucational program. I don't know what finally hap pens to star athletes;* perhaps like old generals they just fade away. One thing I do know is that their contributions are soon forgotten. But what docs worry me is tlie future of the poor kid with brains alone who because of lack of finances cannot contin ue beyond high school. They -#ay Russia is turning out ten scientists to our one. With science playing a leading role foday in the future of any nation, it may he well tliat while we are spending our scholarship money on entertainment and physical development, those who an? capitalizing on mental ac complishments may be in the final act of taking the bows before the curtain of history. Oregon’s most costly insect :s the aphid, according to a report by this state's entomologists Money expended in the eradic ation of this pest is returned, many fold. They will attack all kinds of growing things, sucking their life’s fluids, and mnoculat- ing the plants with a multitude of afflictions. They will secrete themselves deep in plants and are sometimes hard to destroy and they are phenominal multi pliers so must be kept after con stantly. ~ Of the several crawling-creep ing-flying pests of Oregon, the next most damaging in this area is the root weevil, common ly called the “strawberry,” or "lily” weevil, a constant threat to many millions of dollars’ worth of Oregon crops. Their control is easy, and like the aphid, can only be successful if Now! — PAGE SEVEN tarried out by everyone every where there are growing things t f any kind. Another costly critter is the symphylid. This is quite a large family of critters often called ‘Thousand legs” which live most ly in the soil of decayed vege table material. They are brown or straw color and quite difficult to get rid of.
