COW POKES By Ace Reid

OBSERVER.

a
and MU VALUIY RIVIIW
Observer,
WHAT TO DO ABOUT ACCUMULATING magazines is a quest-
ion most of us have to face sooner or later. If you're the strong,
decisive type that can toss the pesky things into the trash-can
without an instant's compunction, you're fortunate. We're not.
We're just plain chicken when it comes to throwing away maga-
zines.
Regardless of the quality of
the reading matter, today's
sleek, glossy magazines are
beautiful examples of the print-
ing arts. Most couldn't exist
without the advertising they
carry, but the ads alone are
marvels of color and allure -
veritable showcase of American
enterprise and affluence. In
fact, our magazines are said to
be a prime cause of envy and
unrest in less prosperous parts of
the world, especially in those
countries we're trying to keep
afloat with "foreign aid".
While vast numers of old mag-
azines are put out to pasture in
beauty parlors and dentists'
and doctors' waiting rooms, a
constant stream of new ones
pours into the nation's mail-
boxes. The average family sub-
scribes to at least half a dozen,
each catering to the special
tastes and interest of members
of the household and, in addi-
tion, magazines are exchanged
between relatives and neighbors.
This is a nice custom - except
for the unfortunate individual
(there's one in every family) -
who is stuck with the job of sort-
ing out the ever-growing accu-
mulation and deciding on the
final disposal of those that aren't
worth saving or can't be passed
along to somebody else.
Some magazines are practically
sacred - The National Geograph-
ic, for instance. You would no
more think of consigning this
ancient and honorable publica-
tion to the city dump than you
would think of burning the flag!
And some are so prestigious
and authoritive - like Fortune,
Gourmet, Vogue and even the
snobby, name-dropping Town
and Country - that you instinct-
ively treat them with a degree
of consideration.
( The same is true of the New
Yorker, Harper's and the Atlan-
tic - you don't throw those in '
the trashcan, even though their
intellectual pretensions some-
times raise your hackles.
It's the expendable, middle-
brow, mass-produced popular
weeklies that pose a problem.
What do you do with old copies
of Time, Life, Look and The
Saturday Evening Post? In our
crisis-wracked world their con-
tents are obsolete almost before
they're off the presses.
Time can be shucked - but
what about the others ? All those
beautiful color ads and specta-
cular photographs! We bundle
the things up and take them to
a painter who happens to be
working in the house today.
"Perhaps your little girls would
like to have these", we suggest
hopefully, "to cut out the pic-
tures ?"
He rejects them. "All my kids
is boys", he says, coldly.
So we give up.
There are four points of pesti-
cide safety to remember each
time you consider the use of a
pesticide-chemical on your
farm or ranch. Just as you are
responsible for the decisions on
the use of pesticides in your ;
agricultural enterprise, you al-
so assume the responsibility of
their safe use. Pesticide safety,
then, depends on you and your
actions.
You can "practice pesticide
safety" by remembering the
following points: (1) take appro-
priate protective measures, as
calle dfor" on the label, each
time you use the product, (2)
always strive for accurate appli-
cation, to hit the right pest
in me right place at the right
time; (3) remember to protect
those around you with locked
proper storage, and (4) never
neglect correct disposal of the
left-over chemicals or empty
pesticide containers.
Pertinent information about
the first three points of safety
will be found on the label of
the pesticide you buy. This
points out the importance of
reading and re-reading labels
on the products you buy.

FOR THE MONSTER, A HEART--Paul Harvey
Back to the humanities! _
When the Soviets scared us witless with their first Sputnik, we
beat our educators over the head with that headline.
"Why did you let them get ahead of us?"
Educators passed the academic buck to their pupils and before we
knew it we were stuffing trigonometry down the throats of fifth gra.
ders..
It worked. Scientific knowledge has been compounded so fast
that we are publishing new research at sixty million pages a day".
"Pressure the student to get college-entrance grades; pressure the
college grad to remain draft-exempt. Cram young intellects with
the latest, the newest, the most.
Don't worry about the increasing student suicides and crime,
breakdowns and ulcers — pour on the coal — we've got to catch th
Russians!"
Well, we caught them and, most concede, we passed them.
Whether it was a Pyrrhic vic-
tory, history must decide.
At any event, we refined young
intellects and improved our tech-
nological output spectacularly.
"Now, " says one world-re-
nowned educator, "man has in
his hands abundant goods and
powerful means, but he has not
clarified his vision of the ends
these means should serve. "
We have conquered the mater-
ial world, and we don't know
what to do with it.
Interesting; that's very similar
to the Biblical admonition:
"What profiteth it a man to gain
the whole world and lose his own
soul?"
Constantine Zurayk, President
of the International Association
of Universities, says it is now
time for us to shift emphasis
again -- "from the investigation
of Mature to the investigation of man. "
"The great world problems are problems of values and morals, ol
overpopulation, hunger, disease, ignorance, bondage. If universi-
ties are to share in the building of a world in which man may attai
a greater measure of peace, freedom and dignity, they can do so
mainly through the education of men and women -- not only to be
technically competent -- but to be morally sensitive. "
As the headlines attest, we havenTt been paying much attention
to that.
The Dean of Columbia College, David Truman, says the modem
gigantic university has become "an educational supermarket, with
everything displayed, packaged and priced. " He urges "better
balanced curriculums. "
Dr. Jerrold Zacharias of M. I. T. said it .more bluntly: "Our school
have been set up in such a way as to produce generations of uni-
form mice. "
And while we have concentrated on refining the intellect, letting
the emotions run wild, the Los Angeles Public Library has had to
hire a professional bouncer to keep order.
The Chicago teachers' union says hundreds of its teachers live in
physical terror of their own students.
And nationwide youth crime continues to multiply seven times
faster than youth population.
So we have passed the point of diminishing return in our all-out
emphasis on the sciences. Now Frankenstein's monster needs a
heart; back to the humanities !
