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. '

News About Books
From the Library
By MISS HELEN WEBSTER
Medford Librarian
"Lent is traditionally a time
for deepening one's sense of
God and His presence. Books can
be powerful aids," says Chad
Walsh, compiler of the Protes
tant Lenten reading list for 1956.
While the book that helps one
reader may not be the best for
another, your Medford Public
Library believes that all those
mentioned below will be enrich
ing to some.
Personal Reality
"Making Religion Real," by
Nels Ferre, turns to the question
of how one can change religion
from theory into a .. personal
reality. His chapters are replete
with practical suggestions. An
excellent book for anyone wnose
prayer life is unreal is John
Casteel's "Rediscovering Pray
er." " ;
Cecil Hunt offers us "Uncom
mon Prayers," an extremely
varied and beautiful collection.
Harry Emerson Fosdick . dis
cusses "What Is Vital in Re
ligion" in a book of sermons
which challenge the difficulties,
doubts, and confusions of the
times.
On Listening
; Ranking among the great mod
ern books of devotion are
Thomas Kelly's "A Testament
of : Devotion" and Evelyn Un
derbill's "The Spiritual Life."
Douglas Steere explores the
levels and skills of listening in
everyday conversation, then wid
ens the focus to include encount
ers with the Eternal Listener
in his newest book, "On Listen
ing to Another." Dignified, in
spiring, and human material,
both factual and devotional
clothes the deep insights of
"Channels of Spiritual Power,"
by Dr. Frank Laubach.
For the illumination it casts
upon the spiritual qualities of
common life Elizabeth Gray Vin
ing's book, "The World in Tune"
has been called a "testament of
light.". Here is a sense of God
filtered through the mind of an
unusually sensitive woman.
Anthology ' -
Dorothy Phillips and others
have prepared an anthology on
the religious way, "The Choice
Is Always Ours." The words and
experience of great Christians
are also gathered together : in
a fine anthology by E. A. Black
burn, "A Treasury of the King
dom."
Contemporary writers who
have told the stories of their
own spiritual pilgrimages are

"My Spiritual Diary," Eugenia
