Mr. Ted Arnow, district chief of the water resources division of the United States Geological Survey, has prepared a twelve point research proposal designed to shed more light on the problem of vanishing salt Dated December 13, 1974, this proposal was prepared for the state director of the Bureau of Land Management. The NEWS has ob i3 tained a copy of this proposal and will publish it in a later issue. The study would cost eighty thousand dollars and would be funded as a joint venture of the USGS and the BLM. The water resources division would carry out the actual research. BLM has been pushing . The for such a study since November 5th, 1965. Similar proposals on October 7, 1966 and March 10, 1972 remained on the drawing m board, and on September 27, 1974, the need, for such a study was outlined in a memorandum from Ted Arnow of the USGS to Gerald E. Hillier, district manager of the BLM. "I'm beginning to think of this study as the , perennial bridesmaid that, never reaches the altar," said Mr. Arnow in closing that memo. (to be continued) CI n O C1CI by Ken Donoghue tr Agriew Rock The editor told me he likes whimsy and that I should be whimsical. As an example of whimsy he asked me to look at the AGNEW ROCK on page six of volume one, number one, of this paper. Well, I told him I can't'do that kind of thing. And he said, "OK then, write it anyway you like." I am more of an associative type than a whimsical type. With me one thing leads to another. Now, looking at the Agnew picture reminded me of law and order. Law and order makes me think of Europe, where I lived for about fourteen years. All over Europe, from Vladivostok to Le Havre and from Norway to Sicily, the Europeans have a method of keeping each other in line that no English-speakin- g nation uses.

Then she has to fill this out with a lot of personal information about her nephew Sepperl, and note that Sepperl is going to be staying with her for a week. And after Sepperl leaves, she has to go to the police and tell them that Sepperl has left and where he - . has gone. The thing that always aston ished me was that I never met a European citizen who objected to this. "It helps the police to find us when they want us," they say. "Supposing someone is looking for me they can always go to the police and find out where I am," was another statement often made. Europeans who had never been to England or America were thunderstruck to learn that our citizens can run around wherever they like without letting the police know where they are. "No wonder then you have so much crime and violence in America," they would say. It would be interesting to hear if anyone thinks we should adopt the European system of. keeping track of people. Would it cut down on crime and violence? I must say that for myself, I hate the system and would rather live with the risks that go with living in America and keep my freedom to go to Kankakee, Illinois without telling the police that I'm there. I think the European way of life is based upon a principle: Because a few people will abuse a privilege, we must deny it to everyone. Whereas, the for want of a better term English-speakin- g countries seem to operate on this principle: Although a few people will abuse a privilege, we shall not deny it to everyone. Of course, we could change and move over to the European principle if enough people want things that way. I, for one, do not. ' |
