ing process. It was necessary to
prop such pots with stones to hold
them upright.
Before the pottery was baked,
the soft clay was impressed with
bits of cloth, basketry or cord to
form a decorative pattern.
Deep grooves were made in the
clay Of some pottery to outline the
pattern Of design.
Other vessels contained bumps
on their rims of an unusual and
distinctive shape which varied
little.
Independent Development Doubted
Scientists here are convinced
that such complex patterns and
techniques could not have devel-
oped independently.
Early migrants to North Amer
lea, whether they came from Japan
or direct from the continent OF
Asia, apparently pushed eastward
seeking an environment similar to
the one they had left.
Spreading out through forested
areas Of the Mississippi Valley
they continued some of the ways
of life they had known in Asia and
also developed new ideas Of their
IoWn.

might have been moving in from
the Northwest while the Pacific
Islands were being inhabited by
South American Indians travelling
westward on prevailing ocean cur
rents.
The latter theory was advanced
by the Scandinavian scientists and
adventures who recently sailed
their raft Kon- Tiki from the
Northwest coast of South America
to the Polynesian Islands.
The pottery from Japan dates
from about 5000 B. C. up to the
Christian era, while a similar cul-
ture developed in North America
some 1000 years later and con-
Itinued until about 1000 years be-
fore Columbus discovered the New
World.
Overland Migration Probable.
The movement from Asia prob
ably came overland, at period
when land bridge connected the
continents across the present
Bering Straits, and the region was
comparatively ice free.
Successive waves of nomads may
have settled Japan and North
America, proceeding Eastward
from what is now Siberia. The lat
ter wave, it is believed, followed
the reindeer, bear, fox and wolf
into new foraging grounds.
A tentative conclusion is that
the migrations spilled out in two
directions, one settling in Japan
and the other reaching America

Via the Bering Strait and Alaska
All Of the migrants found earlier
inhabitants.
It is now fairly well agreed that
the earliest Americans were no.
madic hunters, who presumably
left Asia long before the develop
|ment Of pottery. Earliest people
of Japan probably were of much
the same type.
One gap in the theory Of rela-
tionship between the two peoples
lis the lack of information as to
the language. or the surviving
characteristics of the pottery
makers of Japan.
Used Same Pottery Techniques.
The japanese, however, pro-
duced ceramics almost exactly toe
same as those of the early Iroqucis
Iof New York. and of the pre-
historic Marksville Culture OF
Louisiana. Similar pieces were
found in the enormous burial sites
Iof the Hopewell Mound Builders
Iof the Middle West.
Pottery techniques common to
the two cultures are of several
kinds:

Older Homes
Need Repairs,
Improvements

Estimates from government
sources indicate that 81 percent
of the more than $4,000, 900 homes
in the United States-or nearly
23,000,000-are more than 80 years
old. Many of these have had little
if any work done to them since
they were built and are in need
of repairs or Improvements such
as new heating plants, floors,
windows, siding and asphalt roofs.
This need is one of the factors
which spells out a banner year
for home moderniZation. Not
since the beginning of the post
war building boom have either
mechanics or materials been
available for any appreciable vol
ume of repair and remodeling
work, but now owners of older
houses have the opportunity to
undertake modernization and re-
pairs. Further, government regu-
lations restricting home construc-
tion are causing substantial rise
in real estate values in all parts
of the country.
SOAAbA dlhOAo say tiAdN q
flood of orders for home moderni-
cation and repairs indicates an
awareness on the part of owners
that such improvements will en-
hance the value of their invest
mentS.
With the demand for new houS-
ing still far from satisfied in most
areas, the remodeling program al
so is certain to include sub
stantial amount of conversions of
the large, older homes into null
tiple dwelling units.
Dealers in building materials,
like the contractors, are ready for
an early start on the huge back
log of home repair, re-roofing and
remodeling jobs. They have been
building up inventories of insula-
ton material, asphalt roofing, sid
ing, wallboard and other supplies.
