Hobby Brings History Alive For Jock Phillips Family

Jack Phillips. Pierceton, began a collection of Indian relics before he graduated from Pierceton high school His hobby has grown until presently he has a collection of 900 to 1,000 pieces including Indian bones, tools, spear heads and arrowheads. Phillips, an employee of Harvester International in Fort Wayne and a member of the Indiana Archaelogical Association, and his wife. Kate, and three children. Tony. Doug and Dianna, all are enthusiasts and spend many leisure hours in search of these historical remains. The family does most of their hunting in the Kosciusko county area and along the Eel River. Lake areas, riverbeds and in newly plowed fields are prime

Help Prevent Traffic Accidents Three times as many traffic accidents occur among workers going home as among workers on their way to the job. Be extra alert in the evening rush* hour when fatigue detracts from visual efficiency and nervous reaction time. A fatigued motorist can be impatient, inattentive and discourteous. For your own protection drive defensively. Impatience behind the wheel is a highly dangerous condition. The motorist that tries to save a few seconds by imprudent driving in rush hour can cause An accident. The tension of such impatient driving also lowers a person's ability to react quicMy if he gets himself into an accident situation. Traffic safety’ experts have shown that rush hour travel time is only slightly reduced by excessive speed and risky driving practices. It is worth the risk? The evening rush hour driver who is trying to beat-the-game and arrive home quickly may end up a loser. Efficiency is lowered more than most realize after a days work. The desire to get home, eat and relax leads to risky driving practices., which endangers the motorist and the other drivers on the road. Don't be a slowpoke. A snail s pace on the highway is often as dangerous as speeding. Don't become velocitized. The condition can develop after many miles of freeway driving. It results in temporary loss of ability to judge car speeds. Watch your speed on exit ramps and through towns adjacent to expressways. Don’t become velocitized! LAKELAND LOCALS Mr and Mrs. Charles Schell of Milford recently attended the 38th annual Franty and Snyder reunion held at the Zena Myerly home on road ISsouthof Warsaw. Mr. and Mrs. Glen Treesh and Mr. and Mrs. Michael Treesh of Milford left for Troy. N. Y. to find a home for the Michael Treesh's who will be teaching and continuing his schooling this fall.

areas for finding relics. Phillips believes this area to be rich in relics because the Lakeland area was highly populated by Indians drawn by the waterways and the game in the forests. With the aid of an 1879 Kosciusko county atlas, past Indian settlements, gravesites and mounds can be located and diggings can be more easily and precisely made. Phillips made an amazing find on July 10 of this year while hunting in a nearby gravel pit. There he was able to unearth a human skeleton with intact skull and to identify the remains of five or six other skeletons, one of which was a child. He considers the location of his find to be top secret information until he can do further searching. He does not

Behind The Farm Market Scenes LAFAYETTE — Soybeans posted sharp price gains, while corn prices weakened under reports of a bigger crop. Livestock markets remained sluggish, and egg prices inproved. * These were the highlights of major farm commodity price trends during the first half of July, notes J. William Uhrig. Purdue university agricultural economist. Corn and soybean prices climbed during June, reflecting concern over delayed plantings. Then on July 10 came the first U S D.A. formal projection of the size of the nation’s com crop and the soybean acreage. The com harvest was estimated at 4.82 billion bushels, about five per cent larger than in 1969 and 10 per cent greater than the 1968 crop. Soybean acreage for harvest was placed at 41.6 million acres, two per cent more than in 1969 and one per cent larger than in 1968. Uhrig says record utilization of both corn and soybeans is expected this year. With prospective increases in hog and poultry production, utilization is expected to continue large during 1971. Cash com prices at Chicago declined two cents a bushel during the first half of July to trade at $1.39 a bushel at midmonth. With average yields, the 1970 soybean crop will not meet the projected demand and carryover supplies will be reduced. Uhrig points out. Old crop soybeans at Chicago rose five cents a bushel to sell at $2.95 <23 cents higher than a year ago), while trading on the futures market was active and all new crop options reached seasonal highs. Cash wheat prices in Kansas City markets climbed three cents a bushel during the first two weeks of July; this commodity was selling at $1.39 a bushel on the 15th of the month. Hog prices at major midwest markets remained mostly steady. Price increases of around 25 cents per hundredweight early in the month were largely dissipated by mid-month. U. S. grade 1 and 2 hogs weighing 200220 pounds sold at 526.50-527 at Indianapolis. The average for all market hogs was about $1 lower Hog marketings are starting to increase from seasonal lows and producers are increasing marketings from year earlier levels, Uhrig says. Choice grade cattle averaged s3l at Chicago at mid-July, down about 50 cents for the two-week period, and the same as a year agb. The wholesale beef market remained steady with choice steer carcasses weighing 500-800 pounds trading at SSO-$50.50 per hundredweight. Utility and ’ commercial grade cow prices declined around $1.50 cwt. Increased supplies of the lower grade meats were the main factor in the lower prices, the economist adds.

know the age of this discovery but other area findings have been dated back nearly 2.000 years to the birth of Christ. • Pictured is a partial display of his collection of w’hich the majority has been found by the Phillips family within the last five years. Collections of this type sell at auction for thousands of dollars. Often even the smallest arrowheads will sell for a dollar apiece. Most relics he has found were created by natives in the Woodland culture period dating from 1000 BC — 1200 AD. His collection is one of several in the area. Other people and families in the area have found a common fascination with this hobby that makes history come alive and meaningful.

Chicago egg prices rose 38» cents per dozen to trade at 44 cents in wholesale markets. Lower production due to the hot weather was a factor in the improved prices. Lowering of the bid prices on military contracts caused some easing of prices at mid-month. Farm Safety Week Reminders Given LAFAYETTE — Accidents bring death or injury to several hundred thousand Americans each year. Many victims are farm residents. In 1968 alone, more than 7,500 of those killed and 650,000 of those injured in some form of accident in the nation were farm residents, points out F. R. Willsey, Purdue University extension safety specialist. Heart Disease, cancer and stroke claim more lives. But, because of the loss in productivity and years trimmed from life expectancy, accidents—fourth leading cause of deathloom much greater. And although safety information and protective equipment are readily available to farm people, accidents continue to occur, adds Willsey. “Protection . . . make it work for safety” is the theme of 1970 National Farm Safety Week, July 19-25, a period for re-emphasizing efforts to curb accidents. Here are a few safety reminders —keep all guards and shields in place when operating machinery and power tools of any kind. —equip your tractor (s) with a protective frame or crushresistant cab. —always fasten your safety belts when driving or riding. Insist that others do the same. —install fire extinguishers in buildings, or motor vehicles, tractors and self-propelled equipment. —applying pesticides, wear gloves and recommended protective clothing and chemical respirators., —check electrical wiring; use proper size fuses. —protect small children and others by covering tank openings. Fence dangerous areas such as manure lagoons and farm ponds. Have flotation aids available at ponds. —wear safety shoes, especially for repair and construction jobs, machinery operations and materials handling. —protect your eyes with glasses or goggles with safety lenses. —protect your head with an industrial type “hard” hat or “bump” cap. —spare your hands on rough jobs with heavy duty gloves. Wear rubber gloves when handling farm chemicals k petroleum products and other solvents. —keep pesticides in a suitable storage area, inaccessible to children and animals.
