Small Worlds
Around Us
By LYNN M. 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

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.

Central Point Junior High
gymnasium for the beginning
of the three-day circuit con

ses. Delegates and their fami
lies, attending from points as
far as Roseburg and Lake
view, heard Lester M. Dugan,
district supervisor, open the
program with words of wel
come and a talk on the as
sembly theme: "Spread the
Word of Life."
Dugan told conventioners
that "we are living in a world
of fear and mass hysteria -the
Bible holds the only hope
for mankind."
Following a Saturday morn

tion for a morning in the
house-to-house witness cam
paign. 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.
Attendance is expected to
exceed 1,200 for the public
talk at 3 o clock this after
noon when Dugan will speak

Sites Foundation Seeking Members To Continue Work
Memberships are being
sought by the Siskiyou Pio
neer Sites Foundation so it
ma1' continue its restoration
work in Jacksonville, accord
ing to President Jack Sutton.
The principal foundation
goal is restoration of Jack
sonville by renovating the
original buildings of the bus
iness district, Sutton said.
"These early landmark
buildings comprise monu
ments of both historic and
cultural significance. They
maintain a portion of our col
orful past for generations
ahead," 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. Calif.,
where he persuaded a rep
resentative for the Urban Re
newal Administration to ap
praise the ove all potential
reconstruction and preserva
tion program for Jacksonville.
