HORNS O F
The horns of a dilemna would aptly describe
our situation along with that of ( »old Beach.
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?

C oastal Coos County is develop
ing q u ite a flurry. I t has been
proposed to consolidate Coos Bay,
E m pire, N o rth Bend, E astside.
1 and th e contiguous country, into
- ” ‘
~ 1 " L i cne city, which w ould m ake it th e
SC C W J I ?*• , fo u rth in size in Oregon. P ra c t
ically every avenue of discussion
s being well used, w ith tw o-way
traffic, and th e new spapers around
th e bay are m aking the t ‘?st of it.
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.

H um an intelligence is functional

ilitv to concentrate. 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.
Ju st as objects in o u r visual
fields, are constantly changing,
so are a b stra c t thou g h ts in our
minds The sim ilarity of functions,

casual relationship betw een the]
eyp and brain.
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. Beyond this, the mind

minds It is possible to look d ir- 1
i.c tly at an .o b ject w ithout seeing

looking for a lady friend in 3
crowd and suddenly she turns
around, then you recognize her.
If you happer.'ad to be w ith some
one e l ? , you would probably say,
Oh. I see her now." She might
have been w ithin the range of
cognition all th e tin»?, yet you
did not recognize her. So we are
forced to conclude, th a t seeing
a ls o depends on recognition.
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.
