The Book Of KNOWLEDGE
Department: THE WORLD
AMERICA BEFORE COLUMBUS
CD Ten Great Areas
of Indian Life

We have told you OF the belief
that the remote ancestors OF the
American Indians we're Mongols
who, long ago, came over from
Asia through Alaska. 1t probably
took them hundreds Of years to
spread into America. The spread
ing must have been the result OF
fitful ~wanderings. People travelled
considerable distances, but only
with the lapse Of many years.
Several generations at least :.
must have lived and died by the
time some of these people mad
wandered southwark into the
heart Of North America.
Let us use our imaginations and
think of the effect of this long stay
in Arctic regions upon the way
they lived. If they had been farm
ers. they could not have planted
seeds in the Arctic. So with other
elements Of culture. Most domes-
tic animals cannot live in the
Arctic. knowledge of how to work
metal would be lost in the course
CT wandering where there no
metal mines. Regardless Of what
knowledge they had when they
started out, they could keep only
those crafts which could survive
for generations in the Arctic.
AS far as We can tell from the
investigation Of early American
settlements, it seems clear that
the early Indians everywhere
knew how to chip stone nipple
ments. and how to smooth and
polish them by grinding. They had
the dog as a domestic animal.
They had some knowledge of
boats; they had vivid beliefs in
the power of supernatural beings.
How many other parts OF their
life were lost il crossing from
Asia we shall never know.
Thus, the early American In
dams made their way slowly to
all parts OF North and South
America, where in course of time
their mode of life developed in
very different ways. Some of the

One Hill Left Behind

One Hill Lett Ben1nQ
When New Hanover County voters
90 to the polls next Tuesday they will
find the big hill in the approach to a
Junior college already surmounted.
There is no longer any question
about location. By action OF the War
Assets Administration some seventy
acres of the Bluethenthal airport re-
servation are turned over to the Board
of Education, together with forty build
ings thereon, for use of the college, the
high school (manual trades and agri-
cultural departments), and for vet
erans' training.
Thus needed expansion of the high
school and ex-servicemen's work is
amply provided for, as well as the
Junior college, a site for which has been
troubling some of it's supporters.
The only thing left for the voters
to do is to authorize establishment of
the school and provide for it's main
tenance until it becomes self-support-
ing, which it is sure to do within a
very few years.
The tax for this purpose, which was
explained in these columns a few days
ago, with a table showing how slight
ly it will affect all taxpayers budgets,
is too inconsiderable to weigh against
the benefits the school will bring to
the Wilmington area.
In large measure the same thing
may be said of the tuberculosis sana-
forum (which will be before the voters
at the same time. While a site has not
been selected, the money for it's crea-
ton is already in hand, earmarked for
the purpose by the Board Of County
Commissioners. Many sites are avail
able, any one of which would be salts
factory. Here also the only thing re-
naming for the voters to do is to au-
|thorize the sanatorium and accept the
small tax, as insignificant as the tax
for the junior college, for it's main
%tenance.
Failure to support the sanatorium
project would not only be a step back
ward. 1t would make the battle against
tuberculosis harder than ever. And as
this disease is still among the chief
causes of unnecessary deaths, despite
the progress science has made in it's
treatment of late years, the none the
taxpayers are urged to invest in the
sanatorium's maintenance represents
as good an investment as they could
possibly make.
1t is to be remembered that tuber-
|culosis strikes as readily in the best
homes as in novels. The surest means
OF reducing its spread and it's tragic
toll is through sanatoria. In this in
stance, the one and only sure way is
to create a county haven where vic
tins may be cared for when the need
arises instead Of waiting indefinite
periods of time for a vacancy in a state
institution, far from family and loved
ones.
Votes for the sanatorium next Tues
day are as essential to the advance
ment Of this area, in it's particular
field, as votes for the junior college in
the educational progress of southeast
ern North Carolina.

Police estimated that 5000 motor
cyclists converged on this town for
hectic Labor Day week end in
which downtown streets were turned
into racetracks, 100 persons were
picked up by officers. and in the

Chief of Police J. A. Bennett, who
ordered all his officers on duty for
48 hours, said the riders Eoared
around town at breakneck speed and
that a dozen persons were jailed on
charges of drunkenness, fighting or
failure to diSperse.
The occasion was a program of
racing billed as national champion

Association, with the California
highway patrol as co-sponsor. Chief
Bennett said it was the race fol-
lowers who caused the trouble and
not the racers themselves. Police

OF a girls life is only worn once

the bridal gown is usually made
