I noticed that a couple of the bricks are loose enough to be lifted out of place. I believe this is due to the pul- verizing of the cement holding them in place. What do you sug- gest? ANSWER: Apply a liquid ce- ment - hardening preparation, available at masonry supplies dealers, to the mortar holding the bricks in place. This fre- quently is enough to stop the pulverizing. Brush out any loose mortar, and use a latex patch- ing concrete, to cement loose bricks in place and replace miss- ing mortar. PAINTING KNOTTY WOOD QUESTION: I bought a pair of cheap unfinished wood book- cases, which I plan to paint to cover the grain of the wood. There are a lot of knots in the wood. Should the knots get any special treatment before apply- ing paint? ANSWER: Yes, to prevent any "bleeding" through of the knots Used By "TORONTO (CP) -- Indians 2,000 years ago mined silver; near the now-famous Cobalt mines of Northern Ontario, says a' Royal Ontario Museum an- thropologist. Walter Kenyon, assistant cur- ator of the museum's ethnology department, bas brought back from a site near Campbeliford, Ont:, 30 to 40 paper-thin pieces of silver-- the first known to have been mined by northern American Indians. Among other anthropological firsts in what he describes as a "fantastic range of material" from the site are a shark's tooth pendant and aconch shell ornament from either the Gulf of Mexico or the West Indies and bone daggers of a previ- ously unknown type. The tooth and conch shell, he says, indicate that the Indians of that time had trade routes stretching right down to the Caribbean. The site -- or "dig" -- is six miles south of Campbeliford and about 20 miles northwest of Belleville on the Trent River farm of the LeVesconte family of Toronto. Museum mineralogists have identified the unsmelted silver, along with a small piece of co- balt mineral, as coming from the Northern Ontario mining area of Cobalt, about 250 miles distant, Mr. Kenyon said. BACK AT SITE te There is no way of knowin whether the Campbellford In- dians mined .the silver them- selves or traded with the In- dians who did. Mr. Kenyon, 45, stocky and' sunburned with a busy, grizzled beard, talked about the discov- ery during a brief visit to Tor- onto to round up more diggers. The exploration will lapse when the university year begins and removes his supply of "peasants" | --anthropologist's slang for the students who, for $50 a month and "all the pork and beans they can eat," live in tents and bear the brunt of the shovel work. "The excitement gets terrific | Cobalt's Silver Indians up there,". he. says. "I haven't settled down yet. I just keep walking around saying: 'Look at all this stuff." The site was discovered by a member of the LeVesconte fam- ily who became curious about an unusual mound on the farm, dug up an arrow point and a few bones and sent them to the museum, © "Tt looked like a single bur- ial, a one-day job," Mr. Kenyon said. "Now I've got a_ hole three to four feet deep, 20 feet wide and 30 feet long. My trou- ble at the moment is that I Big Variation In House Types To Meet Needs House types vary considerably because they are designed to meet specific needs. The house in which you intend to live should be 'chose with this idea in mind, At the same time: you) should relate your house-type 'considerations to your site and personal preferences. You would not do yourself any favor by choosing a house solely because of its attractiveness without giv- ing consideration also to its practical use in relation to the family needs. The bungalow offers many ad- the easy access to rooms which are all on one level. The housewife will appreciate this during the course of her work. Her only climb would be the basement stairs. Usually there are fewer accidents in a one- floor home particularly where children and elderly people are concerned. ' The 1%4-storey house provides the greatest amount of floor area for the least cost, and allows for expansion if needed without interfering with external appearances if only the first floor is required at the outset. The one thing you should be aware of is that designs for this type of house often require dormers. As dormers add to the cost, you should try to obtain a) plan that allows for light vantages, the obvious one being mous Serpent Mound produced in six summers of digging, and we have a beautiful mess of bodies--all ages, sizes and de- scriptions. We have the Indians' physical characteristics nailed right down." Pottery from the site proves the Campbellfor dindians, like those at Serpent Mound 30 miles up the Trent River, were Point Peninsula Indians, named for the place in New York state where their remains were first found, Mr. Kenyon said. The tribe was in Ontario at least as far back as 500 BC but when they arrived and vanished is unknown. A third Point Pen- insula Indian site in Ontario. is on Lake Huron. The find itself is a burial ground in what was once a large village, most of it now under water. dug out with a plastic toothpick and tweezers, were originally taken from the surface veins in the Cobalt area, he said. They were beaten into paper - thin bands and used as decorations around wooden sticks. What the sticks were for is not known. The conch shell is probably the first properly excavated in Ontario, Mr. Kenyon said, al- though others have been turned up by farmers plowing their fields. The shark's tooth has a hole drilled through it and probably was hung by a thong around an Indian's neck. It is believed to 2 Lancasters On Farewell Flights WINNIPEG (CP) -- Two old warrior aircraft, almost the last of a disappearing breed, will make farewell flights here Sat- urday before going into moth- balls. The planes are RCAF Lan- caster bombers,. the type that formed the backbone of allied night bombing missions on Ger- many in the Second World War. Now obsolete, they go into re- tirement after flying in an air force display at Winnipeg Inter- national Airport. They were used as search air- craft lately by No. 111 Rescue Unit in Winnipeg and are the last RCAF Lancasters in active service in Western Canada. They have been replaced. by amphibiant twin-engined Alba- tross aircraft and Dakotas. Only a few Lancasters are still flying with the air force out of Ottawa and Torbay, Nfld. The Canadian Press errone- ously reported earlier that. the Lancasters flying here Saturday have d from tribe to tnibe all the way from the Gulf of Mexico. 6 Life Terms For6 Murderers' SIGOURNEY, Ivwa (AP)-- Gayno Gilbert Smith, 24, was sentenced Thursday to six life: times in prison at hard labor for the murders of six relatives. District Judge L. R.
