’104“
By Kenneth L. Holmes, writer historian
We went to see Packy and his
mother, Belle, and the rest of the
elephant herd at the Portland zoo
recently. We suggest you do the
same. There is simply no way to
anticipate what your feelings will
be until you experience this for
yourself. We’ve known all along
that big elephants come from little
elephants, but until we saw for
ourselves, we realize now, the idea
was vague and undefined. When
we stood before the window and
saw the little critter in the flesh,
rolling on the floor like a puppy,
kicking his mother’s leg, trying to
figure what to do with his trunk
while he nursed, experimenting
with his trunk in the complicated
process of moving a bundle of hay
from the floor to his mouth — then
we realized what a complex thing
a baby elephant is, and what an
amusing ham actor. There are
three more baby elephants to be
born at the Portland zoo in the
months ahead.
In thinking about our colurtin,
“Pages From Our Past,” and the
necessity for writing about history,
we naturally tried to find a way
to draw the elephants into such a
story Here is how we did it: We
asked the question, "When was
the last elephant born in the Pa
cific Northwest'" And therein
lies a long, long story.
You see. there were members of
the elephant family in our region
thousands of years ago: two
branches of the family, mastadons
and mammoths. There were se
veral species of each.
The first fossil find of such an
animal was made by a trapper.

river, near present Newberg, in

Student Dancer
Slates Return
Barbara Woodworth, Willamette
University student, who danced
her way into the hearts of 1961
Oregon State Fair goers, will re
turn for the 1962 State Fair Free
Talent show Manager Dean Mel
vin Geist announced today.
However, she has this week
been selected for another honor
which she will enjoy before the
State Fair opens. She will be one
of eight talented 4-H clubbers to
perform at the National Associa
tion of County Agricultural agents
at Las Cruces, New Mexico Aug
ust 26-30.
Announcement that she was
elected for this honor was made
Thursday night at the Pike coun
ty pre-fair training program where
she was a guest performer.
Earlier this summer the 4-H
clubs of each state chose a number
for the New Mexico event. These
48 numbers were eliminated to
eight for the final talent show
sponsored by Monsanto Chemical
company at the NACAA. Miss
Woodworth, who works summers
in the Polk County extension of
fices at Dallas, will do a “Roar
ing ‘20s’’ dance.
She has promised Dean Geist,
who is also dean of music at
Willamette University, as well as
manager of the State Fair Free
Talent show, that she would re
turn in time to appear on his pro
gram.
She is the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. William Woodworth of
Grande Ronde and will be a jun
ior at Willamette University this
fall. The brown-haired, attractive
18-year old miss, is majoring in
Biology.

WHAT BOATS REQUIRE LIFE
SAVING EQUIPMENT?
The Oregon State Law on Boats
and Boating requires all boats to
carry at least one U. S. Coast
Guard approved lifesaving device.
C h ild re n and non-sw im m ers
should always wear a life pre
server or buoyant vest when in a
small open boat. Statistics show
that during 1960 and 1961 there
were 28 lives lost in recreational
boats on Oregon waters because
the victims of accidents occurring
in small open boats were not wear
ing a life preserver or buoyant
vest. Further information on ap
proved lifesaving equipment may
be obtained by requesting “Safety
Circulars” from the Oregon State
Marine Board, 506 Public Service
Building, Salem 10, Oregon.

Young’s own words, “about twelve
feet under the earth.” There were
bones of an ancient bison, a giant
sloth and a "fossil elephant.” Ew
ing Young gave them to a New
England seaman. Captain John H.
Couch, of Middleborough, Mass.,
who took them around the horn
with him and presented them to
a friend back home, Dr. H. C. Per
kins, a physician. Perkins studied
the bones, made drawings of them,
and wrote up the find for the
American Journal of Science in
1842. This is generally thought to
have been the very first reference
to paleontogical discoveries in the
Pacific Northwest.
Since that time many fossil ele
phantine bones have been found
in our area. The mastadons and
mammoths seem to have lived as
contemporaries here during the
great Pleistocene ice age, when
an ice sheet moved south out of
British Columbia into northern
Washington. These were the last
elephants to inhabit our area un
til the white man brought in spec
imens for zoos and circuses. Be
fore the birth of Packy you have
to go back through the ages into
the past to find the birthdate of
another elephant, but there were
lots of them born in those days.
When did the last mastadon or
mammoth exist? Dr. Richard S.
Lull, a paleontologist of Yale uni
versity, wrote in a book on fos
sils in 1931 that mastadons were
here "within the last thousand
years or so." That is way too late.
Phil Brogan, editor of the Bond
Bulletin, and an expert on geology,
says "as late as 20,000 years ago.”
The June issue of the National
Geographic tells of a find in Wy
oming of mammoth remains defi-
nately dated by the carbon- 14 me
thod at 11.000 years A fine book

QUESTION: Are all benefits
taken at any age before 65 re
duced by 20 percent?
ANSWER: The amount of re
duction in benefits depends upon
the number of months you are un
der age 65. At 62 this amounts to
20 percent. At age 63
the re
duction would only be 10 percent.
QUESTION: I am a construction
worker and during the year I
sometimes work for as many as
a dozen or more different employ
ers. How can I be sure all of my
earnings are reported for social
security?
ANSWER: Each employer is re
quired to report your earnings up
to the maximum of $4800 during
the year. You can be sure that this
is done by requesting a statement
of your earnings every two or
three years. You can do this by
getting the postcard form at your
local social security office or by
letter. You will also find the so
cial security booklet, OASI-855
helpful.
QUESTION: I am an employed
wife. I do not expect to continue
working until I am 62, but I do
entitled "Elephants," written by
Richard Carrington (1959), says
"Recent methods of dating fossil
bones show what the true masta
dons survived in North America
until less than eight thousand
years ago.”
Well, anyway, it’s been a long
dry spell, and Belle broke it by
presenting her precious 225-pound
bundle of joy on April 14, 1962
want to continue long enough to
be sure that I will receive a social
security benefit when I am old
enough. How can I be sure of this?
ANSWER: Your local social se
curity office has a free booklet
(OASI-855) which is designed spe
cifically to help you with this
problem. Ask them for it.
QUESTION: We hired a maid
in our home in October at $20 a
week but she quit after three
weeks. Since she did not stay any
longer than that, do we still pay
social security on her?
ANSWER: Yes. If you pay a
maid as much as $50 cash wages
in a calendar quarter (January -
March, April-June, July-Septem-
ber, or October-December), a so
cial security return is due on her.
The returns for the October, No
vember, December quarter are
due by the end of January. You
can get a simple, envelope report
form from the nearest Internal
Revenue Service office.
QUESTION: Last March I was
injured and have little prospect of
returning to work. I understand I
cannot receive disability benefits
until I have been disabled at
least six months, but if I then
qualify for payments, there will be
no reduction in the payment be
cause I am under age 65. I am 64
years of age and could apply for
reduced payments without wait
ing. I need the money — what
should I do?
ANSWER: You should contact
your Social Security office immed
iately for a full explanation of the
rules involved. You will be given
an estimate of the amount of pay
ments under the disability pro
vision and also the reduced benefit
provision of the law. You can then
figure in dollars and cents how
long you will be ahead by re
ceiving reduced benefits. In some
cases, applications based on both
age and disability may be to your
advantage, which will also be ex
plained.
