The Clinton News Record, 1941-03-06, Page 3Want Information About Canada's First People • Oniy One Relic of the Oldest Race of People the Fol - soma Has Yet Been Die - covered — Means of Dating Earliest Inhabitants Sought By National Museum An ancient spearhead embedded in an equally `ancient bone is the discovery wanted by scientists to help fill in about 10,0000 vacant years. • Dr. D. Jenness, chief 'of the an- thropological division of the Na- tional Museum, 'tut Canadian discoveries of the Folsom point over a 'period of years. have en- couraged the hope that further information about .the Dominion's first people may be assembled. DISCOVERY ON PRAIRIES The Folsom point, evidently the .point of a spear and made by chipping "chert stone, is the only relic of the oldest race of. Americans. Their antiquity was estalylishecl approximately %when geologists examined formations in which they were found in the United States, chiefly in Color- ado, New Mexico, Nevada, and Utah. Geolcgists said -these for- mations were from 10,000 to 20,000 years old, and it has been assumed that Folsom points found on the surface in Canada must be about the same age. Most Falsom point discoveries have bean made on the prairies, and it may be that some were carried there 'by the first men , who crossed from Asia, to Alas- ka. SEARCH SPEAR IN BONE "Surface discoveries of Folsom• points, are not particularly help- ful," said Dr. Jenness. "Unless they are in the earth formations in which they have lain for so long they cannot tell us more than we already know. "If one were found embedded in a bone we could establish the age more exactly by studying the bone and applying our know- ledge of the period in which these animals lived." ANIMALS OF THAT ERA The Folsom era then in Can- ada had an extraordinary range of animals they might hunt - or flee — including a three -toed horse, a type of camel, a species .c.f bison, a giant sloth, and the mammoth. Little Girl Fashions Ready for a day in school, Virginia Weidler, who is featured in "The Pidladelphia Story," ` rides her bicycle to school wearing a two- ' piece ensemble. Her skirt is navy serge with all-round unpressed pleats. With it she wears a starched yellow cotton blouse with pencil atripee in. navy. The sleeves are long and full and button atthe wrist in a regular tailored cuff.' Find Sun Spots Are Still Active Numbers Still Remain Higher Than ordinary Years Although three years have passed since the maximum of the current sun -spot cycle, spot ae- •tivity is stili greater than at. the peals of the preceding cycle, Dr. Seth B. Nicholson, Mount Wilson (Pasadena; Calif.) as- tronomer, sa:d;last week that the current cycle it perhaps the most active on record and ap- parently produced the greatest magnetic .storm. This storm, last' Easter, dis- rupted cable and short wave ra- dio service to Europe and the Orient :for more than two hours, and played havoc with telephone and telegraphic communication. During the storm the northern lights were cbserved as far south as Tucson, Ariz. HIGHER THAN LAST CYCLE Dr. Nicholson said that whop the current maximum was reach- ed in :the latter part of 1937 an average of 9.9 spot, groups were observed on the sun daily. The daily average dropped to 8,5 in 1939. and to 6.5 in 1940.. In the preceding cycle the spot groups averaged 6.3 a day at maximum in 1928 and three years later had dropped to 2,3. . "The last two cycles have been 10% years, as conipared to the all-time average of about 11%1" said Dr. Nicholson. "It would seem a safe guesS that the "present' cycle will run 11 years or Inore, There has been no sudden decrease in sum spots this year'„" SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON LESSON.. X,:.- CHRIST REJECTED— Luke 20 : 9-21 : 38. PRINTED TEXT, Luke 20 : 9-20 P GOLDEN TEXT.—Blessed are, ye when men reproach you, and per- secute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Matt. 5 : 11, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time: Tuesday, April 4, A.D. 30. Place. --All the events of the chapter, down to 21 : 5, took place in Jerusalem proper; . the Olivet discourse was given on the Mount of Olives, directly opposite from and east of the Holy City, The prophecies uttered in this lesson are wonderfully rich, a rev- • elation of Christ's divine fore- knowledge and -an unveiling of fu- ture events. The Wicked .Husbandmen Luke 20: 9. "And he began to speak unto the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard, and let 11 out to husbaudmen, and went in- to another country for a long time: 10. And at the season he sent unto the husbandmen a • servant, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husband - men heat him, and sent him away ' empty. 11. And he sent yet another servant: and him also they beat, and handled him shamefully, and sent him away empty._. 12. And he sent yet a third: and him also they wounded, and cast him forth. 18. And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? S will send my beloved son; it may be they will reverence him. 14. And when the husbandmen saw him, they reason- ed One with another, saying, This Is the holr; let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours" The inference in this parable is that the owner will eventually come back to the vineyard and punish his treas- onable and murderous tenants by death. That the vineyard and its liusbandnaen together represent Is- rael, almost all would agree. The use of The Vine as a symbol of the Jewish people is a familiar one in the Old Testament. With it go the thoughts of Divine care for it, and Divine hope of fruit from it. Have we ]fere, then, the Vineyard as the emblem of .the people, and their Leaders—the Rabbis, Elders, and Teachers — represented by the wicked cultivators? If that be so, the servants sent by the owner are prophets bringing a message to the people. Warning to the Husbandmen 15. "And they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed hits. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do unto ,them? 16. He will come and destroy these hus- bandman, and will give the vine- yard unto others. And when titer heard it, they said, God fol -bid." If the ltuabandmen here referred to An the ecclesiastical leaders of Is- rael, who should have been godly men, warmly welcoming the Mess- iah instead of partaking in his death, then the punishment here ptedirted was definitely accom- plished in the destructions or Jer- usalem under Titus in A.D. 70, I'rotu their cry "God forbid!" we are rather lecl to believe that the Jews knew immediately of what Christ was here speaking, and that many of them were definitely con- scious that they were symbolized by the husbandnien of this par- able, The Refected Stone 17. "But he looked upon them, and said, What then is this that is 'written, The stone which the build- er's rejected, The same was made the head of the earner? 18. Every one that falleth on that stone shall be broken to pieces; but on whom- soever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust." The careful reader 00 this conver- sation will be struck with two points in it, first that Jesus claims to be the heir of God; second, It is implied that this was known by the .Jewish leaders. It was just because they knew Him to be the Messiah, they were so eager to refuse I3im, That the stone here spoken of was the Lord Jesus Christ must be acknowledged by everyone. Question of Tribute 19, "And the :scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him inthat. very hone; and they feared the people: for they per- ceived that he spake this parable against them. 20. And they watch- ed him, and sent forth spies, who feigned themselves to be rigid, eons that' they might take hold of his speech, so as to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor." The reason that the scribes and the chief priests wanted to lay hands upon the Lord was not that He had done any- thing wrong, not that Ile was tell- ing a .lie, but that Fie was telling the truth, in exposing their- sinful. nets. The only reason they did not lay hold of the Lord at this, par - tinier hour was through fear of the people. Meantime they' plot• ted an elaborate scheme to trap OUP Lord, and bring about his death. They asked him: "Is It law- ful for us to givo'tribute unto Caes- ar, or not?" The guestioti was .de• vlsed with such craft that, it seem- ed impossible for our Lord to es- cape, They thought they had him ',whichever way he answered It. But his answer confounded them: "Ren- der unto Caesar the things that'ar'e Caesar's, and unto God the things that acre God's. He passed behind aid policies and all parties and all differing human opinions on the question of administration, or state- craft, and declared a principle that applied then, and, all down human history, and today:, Distinguished Canadian Scientist Killed in Plane Crash Sir Frederick Bunting, co -discoverer of 'insulin," one of Canada's foremost medical authorities,- known the world over for his work in scientific research, lost his life when the plane he was flying in en route to England pancaked- off the east coast of Newfoundland. Sir klrederick held the rank of • major in the Canadian Army and had been engaged in army medical work since the outbreak of war. At the time of his death he was occupied with the problem of. how to find the way for airmen to fly at high altitudes with efficiency and se- curity — in other wards. to discover the physical secret and prevent the blackouts that make the handling of high-speed machines so danger- ous, He had been happy in the feeling that definite progress was being made. Hot Spots Are Found In Sky Heat Reflected From Stars Twice That of Sun; Gas Very Thin Celestial hot spots,, where the temperature of seemingly empty space is 20,000 degrees, or twice the sun's surface heat, have beau discovered recently. Dr. Walter S. Adams, director of Mt. Wilson Pasadena, Calif„ ob- servatory, home of the world's largest telescope, described the findings in a report to the Astron- omical Society of the Pacific, • REFLECTED FROM STARS The hot spots are huge clouds of thinly scattered gas, Mostly these "clouds" are thinner than , the best vacuum that can be made on earth. Dr, Adams said that In some there are no more than a few thousand modecules of gas to a cubic ,mile. The heat is reflected from stars. But, quite oddly, said Dr. ,Adams, a gas cloud far from a star is just as hot as one close by. CLOUDS IN SPACE Other parts of these spaces be- tween stars have temperatures of 455 below zero, he said. ,Astron- omers now feel certain that there are many dark, or near -dark stars, suns whose heat has about burned itself out. If astronomers knew ex- actly where to look they might de- tect these objects with heat- measuring eatmeasuring devices. In the gas and dust clouds of space two new substances have been identified recently, cyanogen and hydro -carbons, the stuff which makes petroleum. Previously iden- tified were gases of calcium, titan- ium and potassium. t 11111100a C4D t3 a T IE ,DIT,ROBBINS NEW CANADIANS In Canada there are some four million citizens who are not of Anglo or French-Canadian origin.
