HERALD A.VD NEWS, Klamath Falls, Oregon Wednesday. October 23, 1961 PAGE 3C Better Grades 22 Broad View Comes Before Details Hy The Heading Laboratory Written tor XEA In our last chapter we talked annul history how it moves and (lows and how your .study ins must lake this into account how you develop a broad overview o history and then lit each smaller detail into the bts ger movement. Today we've lumped together sociology, political science or civics, and economics. Why do you think we did that'.' Can you see what they have in common, and how they differ from his tory? Stop for a minute and try to figure it out for yourself. And while you're at it, where should we place English litera turedocs it fit with today's groups? Have you figured it all out? If you haven't, keep on reading. Engli.-h literature, of course, fits in with history, rather than with sociology and the oilier ones we'll be talking about here. Unless you're taking ad vanced courses in literary crit icism, your English for Ameri can! literature course is ac tually a history of literature. You're no! learning how to write poetry, or really, what makes great poetry, but you're learning who wrote what and when he wrote it. The development of history land the history of literature' is. in a sense, a horizontal one. 11 flows and progresses from one point In the next, from one century to the next. Bui the de velopment of sociology, psychol ogy, political science and of economics is a vertical develop ment. These subjects construct concepts and then develop those concepts. Some illustrations will help. Sociology defines the concept of group. The definition is with variations' "an agglomeration I of persons with a common bas j is for action." From this gener al concent, one can work down 'vertically i to regional groups, ; or people that live in the same S geographic area, then to pur i poseful groups, or people who are working to achieve a com mon end (perhaps they're or ganizing .a charily drive, or working in the same oflice. etc.' or In take a slightly different lack, yon could delinc group awareness. 'Are you as con scious of your "membership" in a city as you are of your mem bership in a social club?' And then you could move on to the concept of interaction between groups. In the same way, psychology m i g h t define defense mech anisms as unconscious tech niques for dealing with, or avoiding, stress in our lives. Again, from this general con cept, you can work down to various types of delense mech anismsobsessive - compulsive, phobias, withdrawal, etc. Economics, after defining, for instance, the Law of Diminish ing Returns will apply the gen eral law to specific cases, e.g., will a progressive tax structure 'one that hits the higher in come brackets harder than the lower brackets' discourage business investment? What's the lies! way of han dling these subjects? You've probably figured it out. W hen you overview the unit or I h c chapter, or even when you're listening lo the lecture, y o u have to get the detiuilion of the general concept that's being dealt with. Only alter you've understood the general concept of "group." or "defense mech anism." or "government by compact." only then will you concern yourself wilh details and I he particular applications of the concept. Don't get tied up in details unlil you know what you're talking about. (el: Kinlngy. a bird of a different feather.)

Name : Address City State Judge Set To Study Dam Issue ROISE i I'PP Federal Judge Chase A. Clark took under ad visement today, pending further briefs, the question of whether a dambuilding dispute on t h e Snake River is a slate or fed eral issue. The mailer involves an at tempt by the Washington Public Power Supply System to re move to U.S. District Court an Idaho stale court case challeng ing its request to build a hydro electric dam on the river be tween Oregon and Idaho at the Mountain Sheep site. G. X. Carter, Idahu's late rec lamation engineer, had brought suit in Idaho court on grounds slate law requires WPPSS to apply for a permit to appropri alc and store waters of the state for power purposes. Both WPPSS and the Pacific Northwest Power Company w ant to develop hydroelectric power on the Snake. They have filed conflicting applications with the Federal Power Commission. ROME 'UPI1 Soviet experts 'were likewise infested and so recently came to Italy to buy un- were the big pine forests on the usual merchandise ants. 'slopes of Sicily's volcano, Mount Exploiting the work of the pur-'-",a- chased Italian ants, assuming "'nia, wnerc millions ot that they will acclimatize, survive were shipped two years ago. and multiply, Soviet Russia ex- pecls to save millions of rubles. just like Italy saved millions of lire. Tlie ants belong to a red spe cies labeled by entomologists as "formica rufa." Their specialty is lo re-establish, quickly, harmless ly, and inexpensively the biologi cal balance broken in some for ests by leaf-eating ii. sects. The "formica rufa" is not a new discovery, but its "industri al" employ in Italy as an effec tive and costless insecticide dales back to only a few vcars ago when experts of the ministry of 'agriculture transplanted several colonies of them from the woods :of the Lombard Alps to areas of lhe Tuscan Appennines. Here mic iuivms weic ueiuj; inreai ened with extinction ty leaf-eat-j ins worms. The terrain was such in those areas that use of chemical insec ticides, apart from the cost, was aimost impossible. In a few years Ihe "formica ruufa" which, ac cording lo entomologists, is one of the most advanced insect socie ties known, multiplied and cleaned up the forests from the infesting worms and bugs. The result of the experiment I was so successful thai Ihe minis try of agriculture extended it to oilier areas. Sardinia's forests, 0 m Ihe worm and bug reclamation program is well underway. The anls are winning. Strangely enough, the "formica rufa" did not acclimatize on Mount Etna. DOWNTOWN SPECIAL!
