We want and need a road into the interior badly, each of us, but that same road could be used to haul off on 1- '.lUtiful tuiioer, and cut our heads off at the neck. Is there an answer? Should we look the other way, whenever somebody talks about a road to the valley? Should we sit here in our little isolation until such time as we have all the timber cut and processed, and then rru -»Knut n m id? Gold Beach is even more worked up about the dilemna. They feel that the nasty old loggers in the valley would like to build an access road up to the limits of Gold Beach, and take their timber. Certain local people feel the same way. Why make it easy for Giants I ass mill operators to take away our timber, they ask. \\ by not wait until we can secure it for ourselves before we push any road project? 9- R A TES • a s Yoar la Ad' *nca (in Cusry C oaty) ---------- One Year Is A d v a n ce o u t s i d e Curry C oun ty> N E W S PA PE R IN D E P E N D E N T A D IL E M N A IA T I O F * * Z i ' • r Thursday, November io, 1955 BROOKINGS, OREGON C oastal Coos County is develop ing q u ite a flurry.

Some especially aro m atic slugs of m ud are being indicrim inately tossed and, by th e reports, some of them are splashing p retty high up. However, local opponents for the road forget several things. One, that nobody can stand in the way o£ progress. It may be three years, or ten years, before a foad tQ thc vancy ¡s completed—because after all, even in the survey stage right now. 1 wo, the long trucking problems facing the valley operators would spell a terriffic advantage to the local buyers, and they should be able to compete on that basis, or e se t icy shouldn’t be in a competitive business. Three, a road would help their haul, and their situation in a lot or ways. It would mean a shorter haul to a railhead, for exampie . It would be ideal if we can convince t le govern- mcnt that the timber in this area should be processed here. Then those worries would disappear, and every- Would be happy. We need a road, and we need tiinBer locally and if we can reconcile the two with- comjng (O blows, we should attempt to do so. 4^ Q - VISUAL PER C E PTIO N P art 18 G estalt Psychology WANTED 2nd GROWTH DOUGLAS FIR FOR POLES and PILING Call or W rite for Price List and Specifications J.

However, con-] ce n tratio n is' not a force, as i^ commonly believ’d. W e a re in clined to associate th - powers of co rcen tratio n w ith physical pow. ers, Hut the sim ilarity is more sem antic than real. T he capacity ct an individual to concentrate, depends on his ability to hold i r?j thing in the focus of attention, for a given peiiod of tim e, without being distracted, and not, some kind of super hum an power. In reality, force prevents concentra tion. instead of aiding it. It is the mind th a ’ is free from pres- i i»re and tension, which concen- 1 n a te s best. We are living in a w orld of dy- j nam ic flux, when? everything is, in some way related. In order t5 become more fam iliar w ith any aspect surroundings, for special exam ination. Concerning visual* impression», th? eye aids us, by focusing on one thing a t a time, and thereby isolating it from its surroundings.

In order for an object to have a | unified m eaning for th e observer, i* m ust be detached from its sur- i fundings, so as to become a com plete unit w ithin itself. The mind is able to block from conscious- i ■ ss, all but the immediat thought, and the eyes block from co- scious percept on, everything th a t is not related to t ' e part icular image under consideration. i The process of m ental blockage i; kno n as G estalt. However, th ere is another form of blockage, faciliated by G estalt, th a t takes place in the eye. This process d o pends on optical devices, in the I eye proper. T he eyes a re able to focus on any point of an object, or group of objects. F o r the m ost part, focusing is done by purely mech anical principles such as lens curv atu re.' stereoptic coordination, etc. F or exam ple, the o u te r lens of th?>, eye, (cornea) bends light rays; and th e inner lens, ju st back of the iris, changes its c u rv a tu re t project the im age onto the retina, which is the lining of th e eye. | Both ey?s swing in and out, so hat each will be directed toward i fixed point. This convergence of] the eyes, and th eir ability to sup erimpose two unidentical images, so they will fu.'? into a single im age, w ith a three dimensional q uality is called stereopsis. The main processes of focusing is fac ilitated by devices, th a t ana as m echanical in ch a racter, as a . m era lens, binoculars, or a tereoscope.

The abov? discussion has been an atiem pt to show, th a t in order to concentrate our atten tio n on an object or an ab stra ct thought, first has to be sep arated from its Ijickground, or close associat ions.
