PHONE 2-5219 FROM Ice Age Hunters Roamed Into America From Asia Science is beaming a spotlight on the dim first families of Am- erica the Ice Age nomadic hun j ters whose desperate lives are glimpsed in bones and primitive weapons. Over 20,000 years ago they came from Siberia to Alaska and groped southward through glac ial mists, subsisting partly on now-extinct animals of apalling size and ferocity. Their way of life and migra tions as pieced together by the scientists using atomic-age tools are disclosed by Thomas R. Hen ry. The firstcomers used their weapons with considerable skill. With crude clubs and spears they killed "some of the fiercest and most powerful animals the world has ever known." Some mammoths set upon by the spear-wielding hunters stood 13 feet at the shoulders. Long tusks curled 16 feet. A full- PORTLAND LIVESTOCK Portland (U.P.J CatUe 400.

The horns of one species, tip to tip, were six feet apart. That such beasts were assailed by the earliest mi grants is attested by weapons found amidst the animals' bones. It is unlikely that the hunters used arrows. The bow came much later. Mastodons and mammoths, perhaps, were attacked while bogged in sloughs. "As for the bison, the hunters doubtless dressed themselves in wolf skins and lay in wait on the slopes of waterholes," the author says. Lurking wolves were tak en for granted by the bison; per haps the hunters mimicked wolf howls to enhance the deception. The hunt, in the absence of agriculture, was the nomads' livelihood. Game animals gave them weapons, food, clothing and shelter. Their ornaments were beads of lignite, tubular bone beads and probably pendants fashion ed laboriously from red hema tite. While appreciating beauty by their standards, Ice Age men left artifacts that show careless ness, short-cuts, and work un finished. Feminine ensemble probably consisted Of short shaggy skirts and a few beads. Needlelike rel ics suggest that the women could sew. The roamings of the dawn man in the Western world, from Alaska to Cape Horn, have bequeathed tell-tale souvenirs: A 9,000-year-old basket from Dang er Cave, Utah, earliest found in the New World; sandals of the same period from Fort Rock Cave, Oregon; 23,800-year-old charcoal from Tule Springs, Ne vada; triangular-shaped blades 10,500-years-old from Gypsum Cave, Nevada; a 20,000-year-old female skeleton from Pelican Rapids, Minn.; a skull 12,000-years-old from Midland, Tex.; a human skeleton in the same stra tum with bones of the mastodon and extinct horse from Minas Gerais, Brazil. "Perhaps we shall never know . . . when the first Asian hunts man walked into the new hunt ing grounds of North America," Henry says, "but we have learn ed a little about these first Am ericans . . . and, slowly, the scientists here and there may continue to clear away some of the mist." Addition Under Way At Bakery in Medford An $11,000 addition to Beck's Morning Fresh bakery, 1414 North Riverside ave., is under way to make room for a $21,000 automatic bun and roll making machine and other business ex pansion.

The second floor will allow for an office, employees' dressing and shower rooms and lunch bar.
