PAGE TWO i—B Human Ecology Now Heard More Frequently By W. A. Until. PhD. The term “Human Ecol ogy” is starting to be heard more and more. Ecology refers to the chain of inter actions between man and his environment. The term as it is now used relates to the people in our world and how they get along with nature and the effects of technological gains. As an example, not too long ago in North Borneo some well-meaning health authorities decided it was time to stamp out malaria which had plagued the na tives for many years. Since malaria is carried by mo squitoes, the authorities sprayed the villages with DDT and killed the mos quitoes. Everyone was happy. No more mosquitoes, no more malaria. Simple? Well, not quite. Along with the mosquitoes, the villages were 'blessed with more than a few cockroaches. The cockroaches were more resistant to the DDT and were not killed, but they absorbed the poison. Other small creatures ate the poi soned cockroaches and these small creatures were in turn eaten by the vil lage cats. The cats died from the DDT residue in the cockroaches. As soon as the cats start- 1 ACID? A/ ; / J H V o y^ TIRED of costly plumbing repsirs? Pipes and water heaters eaten away? Green stains?

By not undo' standing the “Human Ecol i ogy” of the situation, the i well-meaning health auth i orities traded the threat of i malaria for the threat of ; plague carried by the rats. To correct their error, the health authorities had i to get rid of the DDT in* i tested cockroaches and then i bring in a fresh supply of i cats who in turn drove the rats back into the forests. This is just one example of how man, combining ig norance with his pursuit of the immediate benefits of modern technology, is ma nipulating his environment to and beyond the brink of i destruction. Most of man’s little inno vations and inventions, of which he is so proud, have obvious side effects. Most of the technological gains built in “Ecological In sults” or threats to our so cial and mental condition. The factories that turn out all our little goodies also pour out fumes and pollutants. Our wide free ways and multi-billion dol lar highways dump motor ists into massive traffic jams. Disposable clothes, instant foods, cans, bottles and all the modem conveniences have quadrupled man’s gar age in the last fifty years to a total of nearly a ton (2,000 pounds) per person per year.

EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 11. IMA when we are sick are not without harmful aide ef fects. Some of these side effects may even offer sin ister genetic threats to the generations to come. Not long ago pesticides were hailed as one of man’s greatest achievements. Sci entists are now taking an other look at their use. Re cently they have discovered pesticide residues in the Antarctic. By killing a few insects that feed on our crops we might be poi soning our environment Lest we forget, we bet ter keep right on top of another dangerous type of “Ecology.” It could end our time on earth quicker than the pollutants we pour on our environment I am talking about “Political Ecology.” Like the balance of na ture, our political struc ture is a delicate system of checks and balances. Our constitution has worked for a long time. It has proved itself to be the finest docu ment around on which to base a government What w* have today in the USA Mrs. ftobowsky Taken In Death ENFIELD Mrs. Fannie Lesser Hobowsky, 96, died Sunday. Funeral services were held Monday at 12:30 o’clock in the Oliver Fun eral Home in Norfolk, Va., with Rabbi Brownstein of ficiating. Burial was in the B’Nai Israel Cemetery, Norfolk.

Goodness knows they are not perfect Some times I even doubt if they are even on our side but hard as they try, they have been unable to mess up the country beyond repair. For years now they have been trying to spend us broke but while the dollar won’t buy near as much as it used to, it is still the strongest currency around. Our dedicated civil ser vants are not always civil. They are not always as bright as we would like but somehow, some way, they keep the wheels of government running. •Our eleoted officials, those good old glorious leaders, those hand pump ing, vote grubbers, they have more faults than a street dog has fleas but who would swap one of them for the finest Dicta tor or Commissar?
