FOR WHAT
IT'S WORTH
B y C L IF F O R D P. 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-

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

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.
