MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7. 1963 IK Small Worlds Around Us By LYNN M. W ATKINS (Register and Tribuna Syndicate, 1963) What We Call A 'Vicious' Attack Is Only Way of Life We call it a vicious attack, ,that sudden pouncing of a predator upon a lesser ani mal; terrible, we think too, is the killing and the even tual eating of the poor thing. Actually the attack is a way Fully Automatic Weather Station Records Data Washington - IWU - The Ag riculture Department has 'established a fully automatic weather station, operat i n g "around the clock, to collect and record nearly a dozen weather elements at Athens, Ga., for researchers. ' The station, devoted ex clusively to agriculture, was .built by the Agricultural Re search Service in cooperation with the Georgia ricultural '.experiment station. .Varied Uses . Scientists are using data re corded by the station in their research on solar heating for .farmhouses. Agronomists and soil scientists also will use -the weather information in .studies with various types of ground covers. ." Among the weather ele ments the station records are temperature (dry bulb and dew point), wind speed and -direction, radiation from the sun, difference between gen eral and sky radiation, evap oration, rainfall, soil tempera ture and moisture, and black globe temperature. Black globe temperature is a mea sure of the combined effects of heat radiation, wind move ment, and air temperature. Senses Elements Instruments, located out doors, sense the various wea ther elements, which are re "corded by electronic equip ment kept in a small build ing nearby. Wind speed and direction, for example are measured by an outdoor ane mometer and vane positioned 'some 20 feet about the ground. These instruments are wired to the recording equipment in the building. r Every 30 minutes all wea ther and soil data and the 'place and time of day are ac curately recorded on data processing cards. This record ing takes only a few seconds. , The automatic equipment -operates around-the-clock, day after day, without attention. The punched cards are period ically collected and run through a computer, which translates the data into casy-to-read form.

Unlike a human mur derer who kills in anger or for revenge, the wild beast kills only to sustain itself. Those who do not entirely understand the way of the wild look upon the predator as a cruel and heartless beast, entirely forgetting that the human animal is a predator too, probably the worst in all the animal kingdom. The flesh eating animal whose appetite is satisfied will tolerate the lesser one, even though it would eat if it were hungry. This eating takes place with no malice, no anger, no emotion what soever. The animal is hungry and must eat in order to live. Once satisfied by eating a rab bit, the great horned owl would go to sleep beside another rabbit with never a thought of eating it. Human Trait To be angry enough to kill seems to be an undesirable trait of the human animal alone. The wild creature will stalk its prey, will take any advantage over it but never because it is angry. It is not necessarily a vicious beast, just a hungry creature. It seeks no revenge, it cares not to get even, it is not "mad at" anything or anybody. The predator occupies a very important place in Na ture's scheme of things, prob ably even more important than we realize. The animal whose reflexes are a little slow, who is sick or crippled or over age, falls prey to the one that seeks flesh on which to feed. The sick, crippled or diseased that fall prey to the hunter is eliminated from the scene. It cannot become a par ent and beget children that are diseased, crippled or for any reason not able to adapt to the way of life it has to live. Also, the food supply is never over abundant. The killing of the unfit saves what food is available for those better able to survive. Same Formula The same formula operates in the realm of the predators, too. Those with slow reflexes fail to make a kill. Old age, the loss of teeth or disease that renders them less active works for their downfall. Some of these animals, un able to secure their normal food, become man killers. If they are jungle animals and discover that man is easy and available, they prey on hu mans and become hunted down as criminals. Like man and the lesser creatures, they all want to keep the stomach full, and toward that end they become man killers or, in the case of smaller predators, chicken killers. If the over-age tiger turns to man, we say the animal is a cruel, vicious killer. It is not a killer because it is angry though, or wants to get even with man for some act of vio lence he might have done to it. Being "mad at" is solely a human trait; the wild beast of the jungle kills because that is a way of life, because he is hungry, not becaus he is angry. By LOUIS CASSELS UPl Correspondent A few months ago, the ven erable Saturday Evening Post published an anonymous ar ticle entitled, "Why I Quit the Ministry." The author, a young Presby terian, left the impression that the ordained ministry is an unsatisfying vocation, willed with frustrations and disappointments. How many young people were discouraged from enter ing the ministry by this widely-read article can only be conjectured. But even one would be too many. For the Post article did not present a fair and accurate picture of the ministry. As many clergy men have pointed out, it was apparently written by a man who did not belong in the ministry in the first place.

Ph 218 East (Main ona 779-133 Open An Account Today! of any profession Counter-Article This month the Lutheran magazine published an article 1 entitled, "Why I Stayed in the I Ministry." The author is the Rev. Rob ert M. Herhold, a former newspaperman who is now a Lutheran pastor in Tucson, Ariz. "It would be foolish to pre tend that there are not diffi culties and frustrations in the ministry, just as there are in any job," says pastor Herhold. But they are no greater, and in his experience, actually less, than a man would en counter in a secular vocation. The author of the Post ar ticle indicated that one of his greatest trials was the wrong headedness and insentivity of the lay church officers with whom he had to deal. Ex- reporter Herhold comments that he has yet to meet a church councilman who can be as "difficult" as a news paper editor. He agrees that most minis ters, like the Post author, would like to spend more lme being pastors and less time promoting the various organizations and programs of the church. Often Own Fault "But being an administra tor instead of a minister is ften our own fault," he says. We sometimes take on jobs like running the financial drive or overseeing the con struction of a church build ing, when laymen could do these things much better." He also deals with two other aspects of the minister's ob that have come in for much publicity lately - the many demands on his time and the low pay scale. With regard to the first, Pastor Herhold says: 'I know of few callings that allow for greater freedom ! than docs the ministry. No one tells a pastor just how to spend his day." As for ministerial salaries, lie does not minimize the fi nancial pinch on clergymen, but points out that "generally, teachers and reporters receive less pay than pastors do." "There is far too much talk about the sacrifices a minister makes, and not enough about the joys he has," says Pastor Herhold. One of the unique satisfac tions of the minister's voca tion is the feeling that he is ministering to man's greatest need. "Most men enter the minis try believing that man's great est need is to find himself in God. To be a pastor if often to be a part of the process by which people find the mean ing of their lives. A pastor has a sense of being related to the ultimate decision upon which all other decisions are based." Enjoy Sharing Privilege Pastors also enjoy "the privilege of sharing life's most significant moments with peo ple. "To counsel with a young couple about the Christian meaning of marriage is to af fect many lives. To help new parents realize the signifi cance of bringing their first child to the baptismal font is to touch family life at its most sensitive nerve. To stand at the grave of someone needed and loved, and to remind family of Christ's victory over death, is to say the only thing that really matters then." Pastor Herhold suspects that many young people who might otherwise be attracted to the ministry are put off by a misunderstanding of what constitutes a "call." "The 'call' to the ministry is often confused by pious talk that doesn't seem to apply to other occupations," he says. "Actually, every Christian has the same call and that in ' to be God's man or God's ; woman in whatever place ; they find themselves. Some ' men believe God can use their I talents best as engineers, or as laborers, or as lawyers, while others believe that God can use them best in the min istry. "The call to any work is a persistent awareness that God wants a man serving in this particular way.
