| dc.description.abstract | The city of Coos Bay is a sea port located on the upper reaches of Coos Bay, mid-way on the Pacific Coast of the State of Oregon. With a valuable virgin timber supply which stretches east of it across the Coast Range to the vicinity of Roseburg, and with a thriving, though small, dairy industry which focuses on the city, the people of the city have attempted to rival Portland and Astoria as sea ports. And, t0 live up to their self-imposed title of "the largest lumber port in the world". A certain civic pride, and pride in achievement, are commendable and accepted in our modern society, but it is also possible to strain the limits of propriety. There is a desirability in "bigness" where size lends itself more effectively to efficient operation. But, the writer does not believe that extensive development is to be overly-encouraged where it is primarily dependent upon a single crop or industry. A false sense of security through large size alone is as -much a psychological boobytrap as is an overly pessimistic attitude. Both, or either, can lead to a misplaced reliance on emotional rather than factual data. | en |
