Roman Nails Found, Believed Wingham Advance -Times, Thursday, March 21, 1963 -- Page 7 features from To BeNearly 2,000 Years Old The World of Women From Stelco Flashes It is rare indeed to find something more than one thou- sand years old in almost per- fect condition, yet such was the case recently in the little village of Inchtuthil, near Perth, Scotland. This find was the recovery of a large quantity of hand forged Roman nails in almost mint condition from the site of a former Roman fortress. Several of these nails re- cently came into the possession of product development metal- lurgist, Alan Dove, who re- ceived them from the British Iron and Steel Institute, The story of the nails began in 1951, when Professor I. A. Richmond, Professor of Arche- ology of the Roman Empire, at Oxford, and Dr. St. Joseph, Curator of Air Photography at Cambridge, noticed something unusual about the terrain while conducting an aerial survey near Inchtuthi'. Subsequent Investigation re- vealed the are to be the site of a completes I demolished Roman fortress. After excava- tion operations had taken place, the two men were gradually able to piece together its out- lines and relate it to the known history of the times. In the year 83 A.D., one of the 27 Roman legions establish- ed its headquarters at Inchtu- thil. The fortress was unusual- ly large, with barracks, ad- ministrative offices, hospital and workshops, to serve a gar- rison of 5, 500 men and some 5, 000 other legionaires who were defending the rest of the Roman defence line against the wild Caledonian tribes. Between 87 and 90 A.D., trouble on the Danube caused the Romans to withdraw from Inchtuthil and fall back to Hadrian's Wall, further to the south. Before evacuating their fortress, the Romans des- troyed everything of value — houses were burned and tim- bers removed — pottery was smashed — even the drains and sewers were filled up tightly with gravel. Their large stock of nails, however, posed a problem for the Romans, Unwilling to leave this great amount of metal for the Picts, who would have melted it down for wea- pons, they dug a deep pit in which they buried the nails. So skilfully was this pit camou- flaged that it remained undis- covered for nearly 2,000 years. Both Professor Richmond and Dr. St. Joseph are of the opin- ion that nails similar to the ones found at Inchtuthil, per- haps forged in the same shop, might have been used at the Crucifixion. Missionaires to Cannibal Island Are Speakers Two speakers were heard at the March meeting of the Go- forth Auxiliary of the Wingham Presbyterian Church. After singing the missionary hymn, "Lead on, Oh King Eternal", Mrs. John Donaldson read the Scripture from Ephesians, about Paul's missionary journey and meditated on the subject. Paul urged the people to be stout- hearted, well armed with the armour of God, and to walk with a steady pace in truth and righteousness. Our shield is our faith with prayer upon all occasions. We should be wit- nesses by opening our mouths boldly to proclaim the word of God. Mrs. G. Smith led in prayer for those on mission fields, and those who preach anywhere. Mrs. Archie MacDonald gave the offertory prayer. A hymn was sung by Mrs. O. Casemore, self accompanied on the auto- harp. The roll call was answered by giving a Bible verse containing the words, "Fear not". Mr. and Mrs. Robt.

HOMINNONMEN These nails were recovered from the site of an old Roman fortress in Scotland. Nails similar to these are believed to have been used in the Crucifixion. graduates of Bible College and missionaries to the new field of New Guinea, a canni- bal island, were introduced by Mrs. Fish. The book, "Canni- bal Valley" has its setting in New Guinea. Mrs. Reid said that even as a little girl, God was putting it into her heart to become a missionary, but she thought it would be Africa. However, everything pointed to the field of New Guinea, which is the second largest island in the world and is situated north of Australia. Mrs. Reid is also a graduate nurse. Mr. Reid showed pictures of the island and the people, mak- ing suitable comments as he went along. The first and second missionaries there were martyred by native blackmen. The interior of the island is quite beautiful with very high mountains and extraordinary rivers, which are dangerous because of the huge crocodiles. The people live along the banks of the river in villages of about 100, but there is no family life, The houses have two floors, the upper for the men and boys and the mud floor below for the women, girls and the pigs. It is no life for the women as they do all the work, and the men only teach the boys war- fare. Many kinds of disease prevail, and there are skin in- fections which can be cleared up with one single shot of pen- icillin. It is indeed a very challeng- ing field, and Mr. and Mrs. Reid, who are associated with TEAM, asked to be remember- ed in prayers and hope to go out to New Guinea in Novem- ber, if funds are available. Mrs. Merrick thanked the speakers, and on behalf of the society presented them with a gift. TEEN-AGERS NOT UNDERNOURISHED Who's undernourished? Cer- tainly not the average teen- age boyl He's the biggest eat- er in the country. And though he costs his family about $11.50 a week in groceries, he's getting good value in the foods he eats. A nineteen -year-old boy, a recent study shows, eats about twice the recommended dietary allowances of vitamin A, thia- min, riboflavin, and niacin. He also eats well above the amounts of vitamins B6 and B12 estimated as required for good nutrition. Although the amounts of vitamins C and D were not checked in the study, the nu- tritionists point out that other studies have shown that these vitamins, too, are adequately supplied in the foods eaten by teen-age boys.
