/ / J Thursday, December 18, 1947 UNION PRESS-COURIER PAGE ELEVEN Claim Man Roamed State of Oregon 20,000 Years Ago Workmen making improvements at Odell Lake high in the Ore- gon Cascades have discovered a prehistoric Indian camp site which proves that men occupied this part of the Northwest more than 10,000 years ago. Evidence also was discovered which indicates hunters may have roamed the Oregon country some 20,000 years ago, before New Mexico's stone spear-throwing Folsom men. The discovery is being studied by Prof. L. S. Cressman, head of the University of Oregon Anthro- pology department. He has notified the Smithson- 1 ian Institution in Washington, D. Cc The ancient camp-site and hand implements were buried deep in Mt. Mazama volcanic ash and in the top layer of glacial debris. This clearly established time as older than the climatic eruption of Mt. Mazama 10,000 years ago, and suggested occupation with the late Pleistocene period, when rivers of ice were still pushing into Cascade valleys. Finds at Odell Lake include a cutting implement made of obsid- ian, or volcanic glass, ‘strongly suggestive of the Sandia ‘A’ var- iety,” Prof. Cressman said. Prof. Cressman pointed out that if this obsidian point proves to be of the Sandia type, it may push the Oregon Paleo-Indian relics back as much as 20,000 years. The Sanaia cave men are also known to have lived in New Mex- ico before the mysterious Folsom men. But regardless of the final de- termination and the Sandia-like implement, it was believed to have been overwhelmingly proved that the aborigines who camped in the Odell region were contemporan- eous with the Wickiup men of early tribes. Colver Girl Is Bride At Church in Philadelphia Miss Edith M. McCoy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. F. McCoy of Colver, and Walter R. Hicks, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. R.

The auto companies are leaving no stones unturned either in look- ing for sources of scare material. Some of the auto concerns are purchasing their own steel mills, such as Studebaker, which re- cently bought the Empire Steel Corp. plants. Kaiser-Frazer pulled of a bad supply situation in a like manner early this year, and Ford has been producing its own | sheet steel for some time. | The production of 5,000,000 | passenger cars in one year would | be no mean achievement as such |a number has never been manu- | factured before in one year. ‘Mining Accidents In State on Rise Accidents in the bituminous coal mining industry in the state are running slightly ahead of last year, according to the Department of Labor and Industry. Fatalities are averaging 16 a month, this year, as compared to 14 a month last year. Non-fatal accidents are averaging 858 mon- thly in 1947 as against 756 in 194 During September, the last month in which records are com- plete—there were 22 deaths and 850 non-fatal accidents in the soft coal fields, the state department disclosed. Of 10,281 industrial accidents of all types in the state in Sep- tember, only 872, or eight and a half per cent involved bituminous miners. Holiday Buying Increases Jobs Christmas buying has pushed employment in Pennsylvania over 4,316,000, the State Employment Service reports. The job-finding agency said the state’s labor force was ‘‘almost fully employed.” The only persons not employed are those failing to meet management qualifications because of over-age, handicaps, or lack of skill, the service said. Ab- out 230,000 persons are unem- ployed. With holiday purchases at a high level, the service reported increases in employment over last year for almost all industries, except some textiles, and boosts iu jobs available in most cities. it can secure the necessary | itself | and itself out| Gach and Philomena Bonfilli at- | tended the All-County concert of Hastings By ANNE EASLY Mrs. George Dvorchak and Hel- en Dvorchak were shoppers in Al- toona on Saturday.
