Push-Bulfon Feed Mill Being Planned Milton-Freewater-flJPD-Clyde Harris, Pendleton lumberman, Tuesday announced plans for a push button operated feed mill on a 210-acre tract four miles west of here.

Lee Ann Chamberlain, Reporter Over-Stressing of Technical Education Results in Warning Editor's Note: Fears that the c.s. mar lose the technological race to Russia have prompted demands that American schools pay more atten tion to mathematics and science and not worry so much about the personality development of their young students. A warning against any such development is sounded in the, following dispatch by Richard A. McGee, California Director of Corrections. As head of the state's penal system, McGee has come to know many young people who could have used more not less attention to their emotional problems.) By RICHARD A. McGEE California Director of Corrections (Written for UPI) Sacramento, Calif. - (UPD -The "Space Age" may mean only "space" in a prison cell for many of our children if school critics force further emphasis on technical knowl edge to the exclusion of all else. Vociferous critics, wag- Termite, Protozoa Go Together No more perfect example of symbiosis has ever been discovered than that existing between some species of pro tozoa and the termites. In fact, the affinity between these two dissimilar animals is so close a relationship that neither can live without the other. Eliminate the protozoa from the alimentary tract and the termite starves to death, and the destruction of the proto zoa within the termite is rel atively easy. It's done by sub jecting the insect to mild heat. This kills the protozoa and in a couple of days the termite dies. Protozoa are minute, single-celled little animals that possess tne ability of multi plying very rapidly under fa vorable conditions. There are hundreds of varieties, and nearly 200 different kinds have been found in the stom achs of termites. Necessary The protozoa are necessary to the termite. JLiving as they do in the insect's alimentary trae , they provide wood-di gesting enzymes. The termite chews up the wood, swallows it and the protozoa then work on it, making it nourishing for the termite. In payment for this important service, the termite's system provides food for the protozoa. So both are dependent on the other for survival. A pretty cozy ar rangement under the one word "symbiosis." How did the termites get the protozoa in the first place? We know this is accomplish ed by an exceedingly inti mate show of "friendship" be tween the members of the termite colony, whereby they exchange mouthfuls of food thus insuring the transfer of a few protozoa. One or two protozoa reaching the stom ach of a new termite is enough, from there on they divide and soon the termite has a full complement. This is the way the baby termite gets his first protozoa. From then on the termite entertains the guests in its alimentary tract. Termite's Duty In Nature's scheme of things the termites were a necessary part of the plan. It was their duty to reduce fall en timber back to dust, there- bv making it available for other plants. From the forests, however, the termites moved to houses and building and rfcept right on chewing. : ' ' During the last 50 years ter mites have broadened their range. Ordinarily termites are tropical insects but they have proved to be highly adapt able, living now in regions unknown to their termite an cestors. Rather ironic that the hu man termite exterminator Pendleton Woman Faces Manslaughter Pendleton-flJPB-Mrs. Verca- ica Jamison, 27, Pendleton, was arrested Tuesday by po lice and held in the Umatilla county jail in lieu of $2,500 bail on a manslaughter charge involving a traffic death. A, Umatilla county grand jury indictment charged Mrs. Jamison with being the driver of a car which struck a second auto in the rear on old High way 30 May 7, resulting in the death of Mrs. Isabella Craig French, 62, of White Swan, Wasn.

The' three were injured in the collision- fit gling warning fingers at Rus sian missile success, demand ever greater stress on tech nological education in our schools. I do not suggest that we should not,' through special ized education, project our technical knowledge to the highest point possible, espec ially for the intellectually gifted few. But it must not be done at the expense of the development of the human personality. Wishful By-Product Too little attention is paid now in our schools to char acter development. Educators devote great energy to train ing 'the intellect. They have recently put more emphasis on physical fitness and recre ation but character is allowed Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watkins should hate the insect as bit terly as he claims, inasmuch as they make it possible for him to have a job. The re lationship known,- as "sym biosis" between the termite and the protozoa has a paral lel of sorts, as that between the termite and the profes sional exterminator in a rath er loose and indirect way. This, too, might be called a symbiosis of sorts. They don't live together but each claims an advantage because of the other. (Released by The Register and Tribune Syndicate, 1959 Grange News...

One out of every seven 17-year-old boys are arrested each year. Chronic alcoholism is our number four public health problem. Half the hospital beds in America are occupied by mental patients and -perhaps a third of our people suffer from deep-seated emo tional maladjustments. It is obvious that our hu man and social problems are more far-reaching, more com plex, more difficult of solu tion and more important than any other we face. Further Neglect- I am alarmed that further over-emphasis on technologi cal education will cause fur ther neglect of our social re sponsibility to develop a gen eration of citizens who can live happily, congenially, and with a sense of responsibility to each other in a world which is becoming more com plex and more ridden with tensions every day. Society is quick to deal with disordered personalities after they have become adults. The tragedy is that we have ig nored the problem at4 the point where it would have been dealt with far more suc cessfully and at much less cost in money and suffering. We should be just as quick to prevent such character dis orders or to correct them when the child is five or ten. The symptoms are there to be seen, the remedies more eas ily applied, and the treatment more certain of success. Must Assume' Role .With the gradual decline of the importance of the family and the church as the major factors in the development of personality and character, the school must assume a leading role. The teacher cannot be limited to imparting informa tion and skills. Nor can the schools reject the "problem child." Not only must strong support to be given positive activities di rected toward character build ing, but the child who needs them most must be brought into them. - ' I Members of the "wrong" gang, the habitual trouble maker, the personality de viate, the withdrawn child, the physically - handicapped and the mentally - retarded must be included. Rejection is the common lot of this group and rejection makes them rebellious and hostile. This is the material out of which delinquents and criminals are made. Khrushchev Plans Visit To Albania Moscow -(UPD - Premier Ni- kita Khrushchev will visit Al bania from May 25 to June 6, the official Tass News agency announced today. This means Kbrushcnev will be out of the country on May 27, the date he originally set for the Allies to move out of West Berlin. Western observers here said the fact he is going away shows that he is not worried about any crisis during his absence and that the Soviets expect a quiet sunimer. It will be Khrushchev's first visit to Albania and will complete his round of visits to the countries of the Soviet bloc. Khrushchev himself has said several times the May 27 date for Berlin did not consti tute an ultimatum and that it would pass without change if negotiations were going well on the Berlin situation. He told a group of Florida businessmen Tuesday that he thought the talks at Geneva would be successful. Death of Man Believed Hit-Run Portland-flJPD-The coroner's office said today the death of Frank E. Hubert, 60, here Sunday, may have resulted from a hit-run accident.
