Page 6 College Station, Texas Wednesday, August 19, 1970 THE BATTALION Gov. Smith approves grant for seminars Speakers at conference—Dr. Bernice M. Moore, r., Robert B. Johnson, 1. Sociologist addresses staff Positive attitude can achieve desired results A prominent Texas sociologist said here Thursday that a posi tive attitude about shaping our social environment in the 1970’s can help achieve desired results. Dr. Bernice M. Moore, assist ant to the director for communi ty programs and professional education with the Texas Hogg Foundation for Mental Health, Austin, told about 952 staff members of the Agricultural Ex tension Service on campus that “we cannot afford to have a negative outlook on so important an issue.” Dr. Moore, in her address keyed to the conference theme of “Shaping Our Environment in You can build your li brary at LOU’S expense. 2,000 textbooks that went out of edition before I could sell or trade them. cm/pm NOW SHOWING 4:15 - 6:50 - 9:15 P.

The third goal is elimination of ig norance, disease, want, intoler ance and hate.” As educators work with peo ple, these aspirations are the basis of hope for achieving suc cess, Dr. Moore said. “Yet we are living in a period of great complexity and we must hurry to learn new ways of approaching and solving present social prob lems. Our skills and technology in working with people are not as advanced as our technology in working with agriculture,” she emphasized. On the human scene today, Dr. Moore continued, many people are afraid of social change cop- out in various ways. “Some get so wrapped up in their own job or immediate set ting that they have no time to try for solutions to social prob lems. Others immerse themselves so deeply in a specialized profes sion that they pretend there is no bigger scene. Still others cop- out by declaring that society is so bad already that nothing can save it. A fourth group says that our government or schools have fallen under the wrong leadership. Let’s get involved and be creative as we seek posi tive methods for change,” Dr. Moore challenged. Knapp-Porter awards were made to two of the state’s outstanding agricultural leaders, Roy B. Davis, general manager for the Plains Cooperative Oil Mill, Lub bock; and David G. Gault, gen eral manager of the Mid - Tex Milk Producers Association, Aus tin. Dr. John E. Hutchison, di rector, Texas Agricultural Ex tension Service, made the pres entations. Featured speaker at Exten sion’s annual dinner meeting Thursday night was Jack Link- letter, television personality. Another speaker, Dr. Maple Avery, a physician at Conroe, discussed the meaning of Ameri canism and its role in shap ing our social environment. “Throughout history, down-pay ments have been made on our heritage of today. The concepts of human rights and human dig nity are part of our important heritage,” he told the group. Presentation the 1970 The Extension State Confer ence moved into its final day Fri day, with seven persons receiv ing coveted Texas Superior Serv ice Awards and two special awards presented by the South west Animal Health Research Foundation. Speakers Friday in cluded Edwin L. Kirby of the Extension Service, Washington, D.C., and Texas Extension Direc tor Hutchison. Speaker predicts America going European in 1970’s The “Europeanization of the American scene” in the 1970’s was prophesized Wednesday morning by a prominent U. S. economist. He was Richard B. Johnson of Dallas, chairman of the Eco nomics Department and director of the Southwestern Graduate School of Banking at Southern Methodist University. Johnson spoke to the 952 pro fessional employees of the Texas Agricultural Extension Service who are on the campus this week for their biennial statewide con ference. Two other speakers were heard in the Wednesday session, which was devoted to “Shaping Our Economic Environment in the 1970’s” — the Rev. Thomas Fry Jr. of the First Presbyterian Church in Dallas, and Dr. H. O. Kunkel, dean of the College of Agriculture. In a “prescription” for the 1970’s, Johnson urged, 1. rein forcement of traditional values such as saving and hard work. 2. improvement of education for the labor force, 3. econominiza- tion, and 4. realism in U. S. com mitments to the rest of the world. Johnson described Europeani zation of the American scene as meaning that because we have become a settled community, we can expect the further develop ment of organized dissent, the proliferation of political parties, and the integration of intellec tual positions. Dr. Kunkel told his audience that “It is not my point here to Owning cow herd dream, nightmare Having a cow herd is the dream of many and sometimes the night mare of those who have one, the 250 cattlemen attending the 20th Annual Beef Cattle Short Course here were told Monday morning. “With a herd of ‘computer cows’ and no capital, one can try his luck as a breeder of cattle,” Dr. Richard L. Willham, Iowa State University animal scientist, said, explaining the “computer cow game.” “You can try that selection program you either dreamed up or heard about,” he said. “You can see the results of a lifetime of breeding cattle in a few short weeks, besides having at the end a knowledge of the actual breed ing value of each animal you either selected or culled. And this is impossible in the real world.” Because any constructive selec tion program involving beef cattle requires time, it is critical for breeders not to waste time or resources on unsuccessful pro grams, Dr. Willham said. It would be useful for the beef breeder to try out several alternative selec tion programs before making this near lifetime choice, he added, noting that this can now be done by means of the genetic simula tion program developed for beef cattle at Iowa State University and known as the “Computer Cow Game.” August Special MAKE YOUR OWN DEAL!

Hickory Hills Mobile Homes “We Deal In Quality and Service” 1902 Texas Ave. 823-5701 Across From Townshire argue for or against the view of the environmentalist who would ban a chemical, be it DDT, 2,4,5- T, 2,4-D, PCB or other. “The truth is that there is in adequate scientific basis for ei ther side. Groups calling for more stringent environmental controls of chemicals are genuine in their alarms. And their con cern should be a concern of ours. “The problem is that we are faced with a dilemma of major proportions: Scientific data and conclusions are inadequate in the main for sound judgement to be made now. The scientific issues are complex and conti-oversial. But under the glare of public spotlight they are being debated by layman and scientist alike.” “The greater majority of peo ple in the United States would ban DDT. Yet it was DDT that ushered in the agricultural revo lution that provides the quality of food we have today.

Insurance Policy Made To Appear As Investment Bi .... Beware of those salesmen who come to you with a letter of recommendation from one of your friends and try to get you “in on the ground floor” of his fabulous company. It is bad enough that he has probably already take your friend for a commitment of a lot of money he could invest to much greater advantage elsewhere. company grows and makes better profits, but it will, in nearly every case, take years to ever recover the original investments. What the salesman is attempting to do is to get you to make what he represents as a highly profitable investment which turns out to be an extremely expensive and highly concealed series of premium payments on a very limited insurance policy. By its very nature the special policy is dif ficult to understand, lends itself to misrepresenta tion, and defies comparison with other insurance policies which the laymen may understand. More often than not they are sold in high promotional manner, represented as a one-time-only-opportu nity for a person to get in on the ground floor. Most of the “deals” include a profit sharing dividend feature with the implication that these dividends will continually increase in size as the Highly polished, canned sales presentations with exaggerated emphasis on the themes of profit, investment, dividends and the like often leave buyers unaware that they have merely bought an insurance policy.
