There is an interesting Photo by Ellis Farmer Adjusts In Land 'Down Under' ADELAIDE, Australia (AP) Five days a week a bespectacled American, slightly balding, leaves his house in the Kircalrly suburb ol Adelaide, gels to work at 8:30 a.m. and leaves at 6 p.m. For his work as a clerk he is paid 16 Australian pounds the equivalent of S36 each week. The clerk is Stanley Yankus. 40, who sold his Dowagiac, Mich., farm for $30,000 and came to Aus tralia. The U.S. government had fined Yankus $5,072 for planting 35 acres of wheat on his farm instead of the 15 acres he was allowed under his acreage allotment. Yankus, who fed the extra wheat to his chickens, contended it was wrong to prevent a man from earning his living, and in violation of the Constitution of the United Stales. He quit the country last Way. . Now, with Mrs. Yankus, Russell 13, Dennis, 12, and Karen, 3, he is In Adelaide. He works as a clerk In the suburban factory of Pope Products Ltd. The firm makes' television sets, motorized lawn mowers, household appliances and garden tools.' Yankus says he knows It Is not a highly paid job. "But it's legitimate, honest and It is a beginning," he adds. He has a desk in a small office In one of the sprawling factory buildings. "I don't feel in the least hurt that I'm starting where I am," he said. "I work in the purchasing department. It is nothing compli cated. No skill, but accuracy, is required. "It gives a chance to begin slow ly in Australia. But I've been giv en to understand that there may be some more interesting work for me later in the air-conditioning section." Yankus turned down olfers to manage chicken farms, as well as a host of jobs as a salesman. His plans for the future? "f like this job," he said. "I am starting at the bottom. 1 hope to climb up to the lop. If I am given' the opportunity to show my abili ty, then I feel my prospects of staying permanently with this firm are bright." The first few weeks in the job produced some minor complica tions for a man used to the Ameri can way of weighing materials and writing receipts. Sleeping Thief To Stand Trial NORTH BERGEN, N.J.

In 1B4S a man and woman, their 2-year-old son and several rela tives left Indiana with the Mitchell Wagon Train lor Oregon. For two years they traveled and carefully carried their priceless household articles with them. Many of the original items nev er completed the trip. They had In be abandoned along the trail, leaving them to deteriorate into dust or to be burned by the marauding bands of Indians. After finally reaching Silverton and settling down, the remaining possessions were preserved and yeart later passed on to the son and his wife. They in turn passed them to their son and daughters. loday, pictured with this val uable gift given him by his par ents is Hal Cline, local barber. He displays a few of the antiques in a window in the Town and Country Shopping Center. Each piece Cline owns has its own special story. Most of the articles are over 100 years old and range from mar ble-topped furniture to a "crazy quilt" which his grandmother handmade in 1830. He also has his father's dental chair which he used when he be came the second licensed dentist in the state of Oregon, and a ledg er book possessed by his step uncle who ran a general merchan dise store from 1830 to 1859. Prices at that time, as recorded, were tobacco, 25 cents a pound; whiskey, six cents a drink or 25 cents a quart; a pair of trousers, $5; board for one day, 25 cents and one meal, 12 and one-half cents. Other items included in the century-old assortment are early cook ing utensils and even chains from the original ox-drawn wagon. Also there is a trunk which was made before 1BO0. Pictured above in the window are a few more of the collector's heirlooms. Directly behind him is the handmade "crazy quilt" pre viously mentioned. Below it is a cup which was made iif Bavaria in 1794. It has a devil on the handle. The hanging glassware is a prod uct of the famous Steubenville Glass and dates from 1790. Below it is a gravy boat which came from his grandmother's wedding set. Thejlarge milk pitcher to the left SAVE UP TO 80 OK RUG CLEANING - DO-IT-YOUPKELF lirG CLEANING FOR RENT. A&B !5J E. Mln- Point Store is also from her set and is Iron stone china from England. It was made about 1800. At the bottom of the window are several dishes which came from New York. Their colors are re produced from gold and silver and are thus called lustre ware. The largest dish at the bottom, left, is a carved marble holy wa ter fountain which came from the Corbett Estate in Portland. It originally was shipped from Italy around the Horn. One other marble object is the vase at the far right, bottom. It was part of the Tilton Estate in Portland and was carved belore 1850. The hanging silver pieces were all made about 1800., The pearl handled silverware dates from 1750. Though Cline has more' than 100 antiques, he can show but a few of them. He hopes someday in the near future to start a museum for the public. In recalling his family's rich history, Cline said that one inci dent in particular stands out in his mind. When nil grandfather was 3 years old he was stolen by In dians in New York stale. He lived with them until he was 19 years old. At that- time he was bought by an English sea captain who reared him. To sum up the reason for his gathering and preserving the an tiques, Cline stated that "the peo ple who settled the West had a great deal of fortitude, and their; endeavors have had an effect upon ' individuals' personalities and upon I the world. For the present gen-1 eration to see these living memen- tos to the past is to give them a taste of the things that people worked for 100 years ago.
