tific answers to the very old
question of what parts of our
personalities are nherited and
what parts resuit from experi
ences and training have been
given by three psychologists
who made detailed studies of
children.
These are their conclusions:
Our general intelligence and
our willingness to accept reali
ty are, in the main, hereditary.
But experiences and training
are chiefly responsible for these
other parts of our personalities
whether we re assertive or not
assertive; whether we're fast or
slow in our mental-physical re
actions; whether we're neurotic
! or not neurotic; whether we're
j strong in power of will and abil
i ity to know ourselves; whether
i the demands made on us needle
I us into tenseness and too much
quick response.
Three more parts of person
ality are about equally due to
heredity and environment-whe-ther
we're critical of ourselves
and practical in applying the
criticisms: whether we're self
critical in ways which make us
timid and cautious; whether
we're exuberant in our general
reactions.
Because these answers are
thoroughly s c i e n t i fic doesn't
mean they are correct. Indeed,
the scientist-Drs. Raymond B.
Cattrell, Glen F. Stice, and Nor
ton F. Kristy, psychologists of
the University of Illinois-specified
that the answers were both
theoretical and "first approximations."

Litterbugs Due
To Get in Trouble
On Utah Highways

terbugs are in for trouble this
year if they scatter papers or
anything alse on Utah's high
wa vs.
The Utah Highway Patrol has
been ordered by Superintendent
Lyle Hyatt to enforce strictly the
state's two-year-old law against
"litterbugging."
In recent orders to his troop
ers. Hyatt pointed out that under
the law, 'litter'' is defined as
throwing "anything but clear
water" on the road or along the
right - of - w ay. Conviction can
bring a fine of up to S239 and a
30-day jail sentence.
The patrol chief told his men
that motorists they catch simply
throwing a few papers from their
car should be stopped, told of
their offense, asked to cooperate
in keeping the highways clean,
and be requested to pick up the
litter.
But for drivers or passengers
who toss out cans, beer bottles or
anything else that would be a
hazard to traffic, Hyatt said ar
test citations should be given
as well as making the offenders
clean up the mess.
He pointed out that in Califor
nia, justices of the peace before
whom litterburgs are brought
currently are making the debris
dropper sweep up not only the
spot he littered but adjoining
stretches of highway.

Not long ago. he was driving
his official car on a mission when
a partly-eaten apple was hurled ,
from the window of a school bus
that was speeding in the opposite
direction.
The apple hit the windshield
of Hyatt's auto and shattered it.
"If it had been four inches
lower, the flying glass would
have cut my head off." the patrol
superintendent recalled grimly.
"I w as going about 60. The bus
was doing around 40. That gave
the apple a velocity of 100 miles
an hour when it hit."
The bus involved was from an

thorities were asked by the Utah
Patrol to take disciplinary ac
tions against the offenders.
Hyatt warned his troopers that
they should be careful themselv
es and not add to the litter by
tossing papers particularly car
bons from their citationbooks
along the road when making ar
rests. He cited the case of one patrol
man who had written out a ticket
for a comely motorist who had a
heavy French accent. The troop
er thoughtlessly tossed his car
bons by the roadside. At this,
the woman pointed a red-painted
fingernail at the officer and re
monstrated: "You are a leetcr-bog."
