IPoilpiraFri Jf we spend all our spare time next summer sifting sand and digging in caves, it will be the result of a trip to Gold Hill last Sunday. Browsing among Earl Moore's collection of Indian relics we were quite carried away and made some rash statements about what we'd like to do with our vacation time. Whereupon the head of the household fixed us with an eye and demanded to have the statement put in writing. However, it is interesting to hunt the arrowheads and other Indian relics, and it would be great excitement to find something truly rare, as Mr. Moore has so often done. Although Mr. Moore has been pursuing his hobby for 50 years, his Interest is still strong. One recent day when the raging Rogue river flood waters had subsided somewhat, friends of the Moores phoned to say that a spot uncovered by the flood had revealed what looked to be a skeleton. This proved to be true and Mir. Moore has a new addition to his collection a skull with a bullet hole above each ear one where the bullet went in and the other exactly opposite where it came out Mr. Moore would have unearthed the entire skeleton, one buried in the sitting position used by Indians of this locality, but some person less interested in archeology than he is, scattered the rest of the bones hither and yon while Mr. M. left the spot for a time on an errand. Mrs. Moore told an amusing sequel to this tale. Her husband put the skull on the back seat of the family car with his hat care lessly thrown across it. Mrs. Moore took the car and went grocery shopping, forgetting about the skull until the grocery clerk start ed to store the box of purchases in the car. bettung behind tne wheel, Mrs. Moore turned around to find the startled clerk peering suspiciously at the object, which he had uncovered when he tried to move the hat. The hobby of searching for Indian artifacts has literally color ed and changed the lives of both Mr. and Mrs. Moore and then- three daughters. It has provided interesting week end and vaca tion trips as well as day by day recreation, has been a source of Intriguing information about the life and habits of the Indians wno developed an early civilization on this continent and has made Mr. Moore a minor celebrity among other collectors and those Interested in western Indians. The Moores can tell endless stories about incidents which grew from the hobby such as the time one of the daughters held an umbrella over her father while he worked in the rain because he Just knew something interesting and valuable was to be found . and it was. Then there was the time the careful Mr. Moore packed all his equipment only to find "when he unpacked after arriving in central Oregon that he hadn't brought the box ol cooKing utensils, 'ine resourceful camper finally scoured up his shovel and used it to bake pancakes and hea; oanned beans. -;! A year or so ago wkle re-reading part of Herbert Mueller's "Uses of the Past" Potpoirri penciled a few lines to quote come election time. The lines, taken from the chapter on the Fall of Rome read: "For the Romans, we may speak the last word in charity, and even in awe. They had nothing like our material and intellectual resources; the wonder is not that their empire fell but that it en dured so long and so grandly. For us, the last word is a challenge to the educated, privileged classes. The problem today is not mere ly a matter of improving the minds and tastes of the common men. It is also a question of whether the elite can provide better politi cal, intellectual and spiritual leadership than it has in all pre vious societies. For if the creative achievements of civilization have been due primarily to the elite, so too have the failures of civilization. "No civilized minority," observed Leonard woolf, has yet been found willing, to make the necessary sacrifices.' " In our mail not long ago came a letter from Mrs. Gene Earle, former Medford resident. Mary wrote from Nashville, Tenn., where the Earles are temporarily sojourning in Tennessee after a stay of several months in Sandusky, Ohio, and were to move on before long, since Gene's work with Toledo Testing laboratory takes him hither and yon. Mary said that it was cold in Tennessee, but that they were en Joying their stay in Nashville. "This is a wonderful town," she wrote. "It's reminiscent of Portland, the way the bridges lay over the Cumberland river. It has an easy-going air that ! associate with life 50 years ago. In fact, quite a few- of the mountain folk come to town with their horse and buggies and southern hos pitality really does exist. ; "When I first arrived here I pulled a beaut of a boner and asked why all the little farms I saw on the way through the Smokie mountains and around Nashville had let their spinach go to seed. I found out later that it was tobacco. Yesterday I even saw a snuff factory, and I'm getting so I can take hog jowl and black-eyed peas and black-bottom pie quite in my stride. I can even make spoonbread with the best of them I think. "Coming down here from Ohio I took, a detour into the Blue Ridge mountains in Virginia. It was just at the height of the fall color and I have never seen anything so bright. The kids and I spent a week end at an Episcopal mission in the mountains under the Skyline drive and I was rather puzzled by the beautiful homes; schools and churches scattered in isolated spots. I hope to go back for a week or so when spring opens up the roads again. The colors were so bright and varied it was almost unreal I want to go; back and see what the place really looks like this time. Virginia itself seemed like a great, well-tended park." " By conincidence, today's women's section presents an interest ing contrast. On the front page the pictorial story of Earl Moore's collection of Indian artifacts tells how a Gold Hill man has learned of the culture of the western American Indian by a study of their weapons, tools and ornaments. These articles he has found over a period of 50 years, by excavating, sifting sand and digging in caves and along lake shores. r Another story tells of the present-day problems of the Indians and the work of the Oregon Department of Higher Education to help Oregon Indians prepare to take their proper place in this country's "complex society" when federal controls are completely relinquished in 1958. A recent speaker here, Hirohito Zackoji of the education department, told how the federal government, in days gone by, brought on these very problems. He spoke of the exploiting of Indian children, of sending them to boarding school to alienate them from their own culture, of making them dependent on the -Agency and working to discredit the family' and tribe. "There was no absorption of the Christian faith that missions presented," he said. O. S. ' Refrigerator Door Opens From Inside New York, U.R) Safety for the child is a new feature of one line of refrigerators. They have doors which can be opened from within with a slight pressure. General Electric said the door has no mechanical latch. It is "closed automatically and held closed by the action of a bar magnet placed in the conven tions latch area.
