meet stlffer resistance In the way
of communications around Biloxi
when the hurricane hit the gulf
coast last September.
U Last year, all communications
. iroin me sincKen area went over
a tiny radio set in hangar No. 1 at
nearbv Keexler IMii fulls tnw n.
sistance, emergency calls to wor-
nea relatives ami wire service
stories, all took their turn on the
.! i tiny radio set.
But the shrimp net forestalls
any oucn situation in me iuiure.
The shrimp net is the unofficial
name for the gulf coast ama
teur radio net, which was organ
ized after last September's dis
aster by some 26 hams in Biloxi
and 12 at Keesler field. All are
prepared to make Immediate con
tact with the outside world In
case of another disaster.
' Many foreign Friends
, Meantime, they are having a lot
of fun and have made many in
ternational friends. Most of them
re. trying for the certificates
nsissed out by the National ama
teur radio club on the presenta
tion of 100 cards from diffeernt
countries, or cards from each of
the United States. Many are ex
changing stamps with their new
found foreign friends.
,' One of the leaders of the Biloxi
group is M. Sgt. Joe Melton, who
is stationed at Keesler field. Mel.
ton lives in a Bilox'i court , that
was flooded last year but he has
built a portable set which he can
move on a moment's notice.
'. Melton has endeared himself to
Keesler field soldiers by one of
the radio services he now performs.-
If he contacts a ham in
the home town of a soldier at the
field, he arranges for the soldier
to have a radio chat with his
. family;
fMelton's radio activities have
jotted him an unusual present.
Vven he told a Kentucky ham he
had never seen blue grass, the
, Kentuckian bundled up some of
,-y the cured grass and sent it to his
gulf coast friend.
Utah Tree's Age Called
Thousands of Years
- Navajo Lake, Utah IIP! The
Utah fish and game commission
reports the discovery of a tree
that may be the oldest one on
record.
A commission field inspector,
Lee Kay, said the scrub oak tree's
age of "thousands of years" prob
ably tops the record of Califor
nia's famous redwoods.
The ancient tree stands in the
mouth of Deep Creek canyon,
sheltered for years from human
eye in a sparsely settled moun
tainous stretch of southern Utah.
It is 43 feet high and 18 M, feet
in diameter.

Nebraska Savants Try to Solve
t J
Mystery of Prehistoric People
Cambridge, Neb. (IPi A Smith
sonian institution archeologlst is
trying to solve a three-fold mys
tery concerning the prehistoric
people who once inhabited tiny
villages along Medicine creek in
south Nebraska.
The archeoloKisr. Marvin Ki-
vett, Is investigating remains of
villages on the site where Medi
cine creek dam now Is being built.
tie is trying to, determine where
the aborigines came from, at
what period they lived, and what
happened to them.
"it is interesting to note." KI-
vett said, "that remains of a sim
ilar culture have been found in
the Texas Panhandle. The only
difference was that the Texas vil
lages had stone huts, while the
Medicine creek people used logs
tnv iholr hnmna "
Carving Is Puzzle
Klvett also reported that a
piece of shale,' In which was carv
ed a picture of a human face, was
found recently.'
"This type of carving," he said,
"usually is' associated with the
prehistoric inhabitants of the
southeast."
Now working on the remains
of a third village in the dam site
area, Klvett believes that eacn
was occupied at a different per
iod. All were before the coming
of the white man, he said.
There Is no evidence of horses,
metal or glass, which were
brought by the whites. Kivett
would like to ascertain as definite
ly as possible the times of the set
tlements, but -hasn't found too
much in the way of clues.
As to what happened to tne
people, the researchers still are
baffled;. Kivett said he has found
no evidence of warfare, or any
sign, that such peaceful farming j
folk were wiped out by Invading
tribes. 1
In fact, Kivett admitted that so
far he has found only one burial
place, and that contained only one
skeleton that of a man, with one
arm missing. The archeologlst
still has many people to account
for. Klvett had expected to find
that the people buried many bo
dies In each burial place.
This one burial place, he said,
was on a high hill, was dug only
about 17 inches deep, and con
tained a few pieces of pottery, ar
rowheads and some beads made
from gulf coast shells. Kivett con
jectured that the shell beads must
have been traded from one tribe
to another to reach Nebraska.
These people kept two kinds of
dogs, Klvett said. They raised
corn, beans and domesticated sun
flowers. They kept bees and
caught fish, mussels, crayfish and
turtles in the creek.
Kivett said Medicine creek val
ley is receiving possibly more
archeologlcul attention this year
than any other site in the United
States, with throe agencies par
ticipating: University of Nebras
ka, Nebraska Historical society
and Smithsonian institution.
Bills Not Much Good
Except for Taxes
Chicago HP) A man entered the
Upper Avenue National bank in
Chicago to cash a couple of $10
bills.
The bills turned out to be bank
notes issued by the old State Bank
of Illinois in 1821.
Bank officials did some re
search and found that by 1826 the
bills had dropped so much in val
ue that the legislature ordered
them retired. Some $75,000 of the
notes were burned in a ceremonial
fire.
The research disclosed that the
bills were "legally receivable" by
the state treasurer In payment of
taxes and dues owing the state.
The man was advised by the
bank to try to pay his taxes with
them.

Lisbon, N.D. ill'i William
Lambrecht, local farmer, had

He told his county acent he
