W ATKINS (Rcqiittf and Tribunt Syndicate 1962) Bolnvior Follows Pailrn Except When It Doesn't From the schoolboy In the first grade and right on up to adulthood, we all must admit that two and two always equals four. It can be proved backwards and forwards. Mathematics is an exact science; the answer always comes out the same if it is properly done, regardless of how ninny limes it is figured. And there are many other sciences that are exact, or nearly so all with a calcu-' lated conclusion. However, a couple of very Important ones are not exact; In fact, they don't even come close to exactness. Biology is one. Many wide-open gaps in this science Just about render the whole thing as unpredict able. U probably will be a long lime hetore the gaps arc filled In. Experts in biology are still wallowing around in a quagmire of imponderables. Equally Inexact A companion science, psy rhlatry, is just as inexact. Take the mind of a man or a mouse; both are subject !o j performing the unexpected. ! The actions of cither man or , mouse cannot be accurately , foretold. The mouse, which always behaves like all other . mice, may, at some unexpeel-, ed time, react quite different- ly even when conditions seem the same. ' The squirrel hunter, well , versed in squirrel behavior, knows that a stick thrown pasl a tree and striking the ground will startle the ani mal and force It lo come around Ihe tree in sight of the hunlcr. Mnsl squirrels will do exactly that; Ihey will follow the regular pattern. Hut sooner or later the hunter finds Hit exception. He finds a squirrel loo wise lo be fooled by a "stick trick." Unpredictable The animal may go up or down the tree trunk, or just sit light. TIlis may even hap pen oftener "than once in a coon's age," loo. Some squir rels do not read like squir rels should. The common house-mouse, which even now may be wait ing for darkness in the kitch en to nibble on Ihe loaf of bread, ordinarily follows the mouse-path already laid nul for liim by thousands of gen eral ions of mouse-ancestors. Hut being a living rrealure whose actions are controlled to some extent at least hy an animal intelligence- he may depart the recognized mouse-procedure and perform In an unexpected manner. He may be "bright enough" not to fall for tilt- old "cheese racket." These living creatures j lllndird and milortt I EVEREST & ! I lrliiuiir 1 which depart the traditional path occur In every strata of life, from the highest lo the lowest. Any one of them may, at some unexpected time, react differently than do their fellows. No one can figure all these things out. Even the man who asks the questions cannot ex plain the workings of his own mind. Hatfield Appoints Eric Allen Jr. Salem -(UPI)- Gov.

Dugan, district supervisor, open the program with words of wel come and a talk on the as sembly theme: "Spread the Word of Life."

Following a Saturday morn ing breakfast in the school cafeteria, delegates gathered in the auditorium for instruc- Adult Classes Are Still Available Some adult education class es sponsored by the Medford school district still are avail able, although the regular ses sions started last week, ac cording to Lindsay Vinsel, adult education director.

Highlight of the afternoon program was the baptism dis course followed by the im mersion of 12 newly ordained ministers. Dugan emphasized during the discourse that "Christian soldiers are in the service of Jehovah God, but, unlike the armies of the present govern ments of this world, when these went forth to spread the word of life they could expect no furloughs and no discharge from service." Candidates for baptism were transported by private cars to Jackson Hot Springs for the immersion ceremony.

The principal foundation goal is restoration of Jack sonville by renovating the original buildings of the bus iness district, Sutton said.

Those wishing to join the foundation may send their names and addresses and $2 to the foundation at post of fice box 243, Jacksonville, for the annual membership fee. During the past year the Sites foundation was able to secure the Beekman house for public viewing. During the same period, plans for reconstruction of the U. S. Hotel balcony were completed and wood spindles for the balustrade turned. Throughout the year volun teer crews have replaced near ly all hotel windows and scraped, primed and repaint ed much of the sash. The building s interior was cleared of trash and debris, a backbar was acquired and set up in the old saloon, and the room repainted. Desk, chairs and tables now serve community needs ai.d provide for the monthly meetings of the foundation'. The hotel's exterior also was sandblasted to restore the brick to its original ap pearance. A sealer coat was applied to the surface. Water hoses, sprinklers and other equipment were pur chased during the year to care for the Britt park. The volunteer work has been spearheaded by George Brew er who has been caring for the grounds and attempting to preserve the trees. Th fnnnriation president attended a meeting of the Na tional Historic irusi rounua tion at Sacramento.
