A SENATOR FOR CURRY?
Petitions are to be circulated to put on the
1956 election ballot a constitutional amendment to re
apportion the State Legislature on the so-called federal
pattern.
Ib is proposed amendment would provide for
one Senator from each of Oregon’s 36 counties. The
membership of the I louse would be apportioned accord
ing to population.
Th is amendment would materially benefit
Curry County, and give us a state senator, where now
we are hanging on the shirt-tails of Coos County.

ers as a “co.'or sensation.” W heth
e r or not the color sensation is
pleasant, depends largely on the
intensity of th e color, and the
length of tim e th- eye is exposed
to it. The brig h ter the color, the
more quickly is tires the eye.
It is im p o rtan t lor the a rtist to
realize th a t size, intensity atm
lin e , at'-’ factors wl^ch constitute
to tal visual sensation. All things
being equal, you could w rite the
form ula S xIxT equals total stim
ulus.
A bill-board poster can use

cause th-e length of tim e the eye is
exposed to it. is so slight. W hile a
picture in a home, which you have
to look at day afte r day, requires
partially filters colors that would
otherw ise be too stim ulating.
If the eye is exposed to a patch
of bright color, th? color r-'gis*-
m ore subdued colors. A large
patch of w arm gray, can give th-.'
sam e w arm sensation as a small
spot of pure red. You can live
indefinitely w ith a more moderate
am ount of color. By the same
token, a large area of pur? color
:s not disturbing, if it is ju st seen
now and then.
T here a re oth er considerations,
such as th e size of the room, in
which the picture is hung, th a t
m ust be tak en into acount.
T he w alls of my studio are cov-
e: d w ith huge ab stract paintings,
which a re done in bright flashing
colors, while my ap art.n en t, has
only a couple of unebstructive
pictures.
Th pictures which hang in the
studio belong Tl • y stim ulate ex
citem ent and life. B ut in my
ap artm en t, w here I do most of my
w riting and reading, would be like
teon-signs, flashing on anil off.
It would be difficult to concen
tra te und. r these conditions.
Of? :i the difference between
som ething exciting, and som ething
gaudy, is very slight. The hum an
nervous system has a wide m argin
stim ulus, but th e m om ent the
stim ulus exceeds a certain limit,
the hum an system reje cts it all
together. I t is com parable to the
idea of the '»straw th a t broke the
camels back.”
I m entioned th a t a pleasantly
stim ulating sensation is a small
am ount of pain. Most people like
to have their scalp or back mass
aged. It is am azing w h at vigorous
massaging, som e people find
soothing. It seems to give them a
feeling of being alive, but if the
m asseur presses ju st th e slightest
bit harder, they complain.
A stim ulation w hich is pain-
ful to one person, may t e consul-
ercd soothing by another. Alsof
body resistance to certain ele
m ents varies greatly, from one
Iierson to another. F o r example,
the am ount of sunshine which on?
person finds healthy, m ay put
another person in th e hospital. R
seems plausable th a t personal
preference for ce rtain colors is
not, as so m any people believe,
en tirely a m a tte r of imagination
but m ight depend cn o th e r factors,
such as differences in chemical
properties in th e body tissue, of
various individuals.

Approximately 40,000 approved signatures will
be required to put the amendment on the ballot.
We are strong’y in favor of this, of course, and
if in the near future somebody approaches you with
such a petition, please go ahead and sign it. It seems to
be the only fair way of giving the small counties a break,
and it has worked very well on a national level as the
strength of our country testifies.
But, and there is always a but, we don’t think
the amendment has much of a chance, although the re
port we got on the subject didn’t say so.
The facts are that the heavily populated areas-
such as Portland, or in the valley wouldn’t be benefited.
They would, in fact, I k - hurt by the amendment. Conse
quently they would vote against it, and by the simple
expedient of having the most voters, we think that they
could defeat the measure.
