organized for the institute
ach teacher will have a
-choice of four.

the National Science Founda
tion as one of only 16 colleges
in the nation to give 10-month
academic year institute train
ing for top high school science
and math teachers. This pro
gram will be continued next
year under a $248,000 grant.

County Weed Plan
Set Up For Area
By Ray Hubbell
Ragweed control in Jack
son county will be handled
this year by the Jackson
county weed control, accord
ing to Ray Hubbell, city weed
supervisor.
Spraying of all ragweed on
private and county property
should cover a total of about
50 acres, Hubbell said. He
will discuss the program with
George Moose, state director
of ragweed control, later this
month.
The county also has enter
ed an agreement with the
state highway department to
control noxious weeds, includ
ing ragweed, on state high
way property. Spraying has
already begun on broadleaf
weeds along county roads and
some state routes.
Hubbell and County Agent
Earle Jossy this week com
piled a list of 20 weeds "pos
ing the greatest problem from
the standpoint of economic
importance to Jackson county
agriculture."
The seven primary weeds
listed were white top, punc
ture vine, Russian knapweed,
Canada thistle, leafy spurge,
marlahan mustard and ragweed.
Secondary noxious weeds
include Bermuda grass, quack
grass, Johnson grass, wild
morning glory, yellow star
thistle, chicory, buckhorn
plantain, corn cockle, white
cockle, dodder, curly dock,
spiny lotbur and poison hem
lock.

weaned from the maternal
household" and they want
"protection and a benefactor."
True, they like to be with
people, but it is largely "to
be looked at." They want to
be the center of fanfare and
for that reason they choose
activities which have color
and glamor.
Self -Preoccupied
But they're not really so
cial because they're too pre
occupied with themselves.
Their emotional contacts with
other persons are. not close
because all that goes out from
them is their talk, and all that
comes in that is meaningful
to them is fulfillment of their
own wishes.
Socially they're irrespon
sible. They withdraw from the
unpleasant and they're neither
humanitarian, nor altruistic.
They don't take tension well,
and they try to stay out of
jobs and situations in which
tensions develop. Their choice
is to be "breezy" and "happy-go-lucky."
The probings into alcoholic
personalities were done by
Maj. Ronald C. Force, phy
chologist of the Air Force. His
subjects were young Air
Force men convicted by court
martial of crimes. They were
to be "retained" with the idea
of rehabilitation and a return
to duty.
Offenses Repeated
The Air Force experience
had been that alcoholics
among its prisoners repeated
their offenses, once they were
restored to grace, at a rate
three times greater than that
of non-alcoholics. The prob
lem was to sort out the alco
holics for special attention
since alcoholics rarely admit
to their alcoholism.
Force's job was to work out
psychological tests which
would show them up. All pris
oners had to take a number
of these tests before their re
training began.
Force reported the results
to the Yale University Center
for Studies on Alcohol.
