<br />they are trying to influence. Faced with such a picture the one conclusion <br />that seems strongly justified is that very much more fundamental research <br />must definitely be carried out in the entire field of cloud physics. As long <br />as there is any hope at all that even a small percentage increase in <br />natural precipitation can be produced by ihtelligent manipulation of seeding <br />processes a very large amount of scientific effort to understand clouds, <br />rain, and snow is warranted. <br /> <br />Such research is going on, and in many places. So substantial has <br />been the increase in scientific knowledge of cloud physics in the last five <br />to ten years it seems likely that fairly definite answers as to the practical <br />potentialities of cloud modification will be forthcoming from research with- <br />in the new half-decade to decade. <br /> <br /> <br />..' <br /> <br />'" <br /> <br />Until a truly .scientific answer has been found to the question of <br />seeding, prospective users of seeding services are advised to regard the <br />activity as fundamentally a gamble. The case for cloud seeding can today <br />only be labeled "not proved. " <br /> <br />Notation: As one practical illustration of some of the research investigations <br />being pursued by the organization Dr. McDonald represented, the <br />Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the University of Arizona, the <br />speaker showed lapse-time motion pictures of rainclouds. <br /> <br />******** <br /> <br />Editor's Note: <br /> <br />In editing the prolific material presented in the Eleventh Annual <br />Meeting of the Colorado River Water Users' Association, we suddenly <br />realized that Mr. Jordan Crouch in his speech which follows was pointing <br />out, quite explicitly, the basic rules of all successful human relations. <br />We recalled the opening words of President Carl Anderson's address <br />concerning our aims and aspirations and felt that here in a simply phrased <br />way, was the method we should follow in .order to accomplish our ends. <br />And so we are printing, exactly as it was presented, the entire speech of <br />Mr. Crouch. <br /> <br />******** <br /> <br />STRATEGY IN WORKING WITH PEOPLE <br /> <br />Jordan Cr\>uch <br />Vice-President, First National B~nk of Nevada, Reno, Nevada <br /> <br />Ability to get along with people is the prime attribute of a good <br />executive and it is a necessity for all of us if we are to enjoy peace of <br />mind. <br /> <br />- 12 - <br />
