Port Franks Excavation Filmed by University of Western Ontario Group What may be the first of many historical instructional films pro­ duced iby the University of Western Ontario__and the first such films made in Canada—held an audience at Westminster Hospital in fasci­ nated silence recently, although they had shown only lukewarm in­ terest in a lecture which preceded the film. Gus McGuier, medical school photographer, produced the 400-foot black and white film of diggings at Port Franks by a university ar­ chaeological team under Wilfred Jury. It traces the course of the sur­ vey, problems facing the diggers, the findings, and reconstructs with the use of university actors, the activities of the Indians under in­ vestigation. The team- was tracing the flint­ implement “factory” at Kettle Point, near Port (Franks. Re-Cutting Course The film opened with a panor­ amic survey of the sand dunes which have formed since timber was cut away from the mouth of the Aux Sable River. The river is rapidly re-cutting its course, and the present diggings will be under water within a few years. The film shows the course of the old river bed, showing the deep depressions and pools where once it flowed toward the flint beds. Flint is more easily flaked while wet, and the Indians gathered it along the water’s edge. In the film, Fraser Metcalfe, a student, illus­ trates the Indian method of gath­ ering and chipping flints. He is seen walking, clad in loin cloth and carrying a pot, along the odg© of tlio lukOj stooping' fro* quently to gather the flints. Then, a short distance inland, near a spoking fire, he crushes the large flints by means of a leverage, pro­ cess. The flint is placed oil a stone under a tree. The leverage is pro­ vided by a long ironwood pole pushed among the roots of the tree at one end, and using the flint as its fulcrum. Chipped by Antlers After the initial flaking, which must be done while the flint is wet, the Indians carried their partially- manufactured tools upriver by canoe, or along the riverside path, to their homes. There they finished the job of chipping with deer ant­ lers. The film also shows how 'Indians made a “sapling house,” from curved saplings, tied with roots in the middle, aud roofed with elm bark, capable of standing 40 years. It shows how the diggings started, and how they progressed, were measured and marked. Tlie party started work at g a.m., dug until five, taking their lunch into the field. In the evening, the day’s finds were catalogued, map­ ped, and cleaned, shovels were kept sharp-edged for cutting foliage, and scrupulously polished so that they would ring when they struck a flint. Made Arrow Heads Mr. Jury said he had himself made about 100 arrow heads by using the Indian's process, each one taking about 15 minutes. At the site of the original crushing, half a deer skeleton was found, indicating the Indians had stayed’ there a while working. Some 2,000 flints were found to every 10 square feet of ground ex­ cavated. Far from finding the work easy, the party pulled out trees iy2 feet in diameter to search under the roots, and battled mosquitoes. Twenty-two sites have been found, but others are hidden by the drifting sand, Mr. Jury said. Keen-Edged Products The Indians worked flints for 500 to 600 years, the investigations showed, producing knives, arrow heads, spears, saws and all kinds of cutting instruments. Some were sharp enough to shave with. In 1641, French explorers noted the Attawandrian Indians, who controlled the flint beds, were never at war with their belligerent neighbors. The French nicknamed the Attawandrians “The Neoutrals,” by which name they are known in history. The reason for their neutrality was that their enemies and friends alike needed the flints, and remain­ ed at peace with the Attawandrians to assure a supply of the precious commodity. Mr. Jury said he hoped more films will be made of archaeologi­ cal diggings illustrating the discov­ eries. Later films may be in color, he said.

But it’s like so many other trite sayings, in that it is distressingly true I And the wisest ehap that lives has no advance informa­ tion on accidents—only the probability can be estimated. It is upon probabilities and experience that the best accident policies are based. They are in such form as to provide pro­ tection against losses in accidents in almost every circum­ stance.
