District Governor Visits Rotary Club tural periods: ~Woodland, Iroquois and Historic. These periods are broken down further into cultures called Middle Point Peninsula Cul- ture and late Black Creek- Lalonde. For further information on these cultures, "Ontario Pre- History" as written by J.V. Wright, is written for the general public avoiding tech- nical terms and concepts. It should be pointed out that the Initial Woodland period dates from 1000 B.C.-4000 AD. which explains the difficulty of attempting to record Ontario's pre-history. This is where archaeology comes in for it is the discipline that attempts to reconstruct human events that took place prior to written records. Some valuable obser- vations were recorded by Samuel de Champlain about the Hurons with whom he wintered in 1615-1616 A.D. That period is part of what is called Historic which dates from 1000 A.D. Sections of pottery have also been found on the Short Site which employed many techni- ques in its manufacture. The shapes and designs of the pieces, once part of larger vessels, reveal their age. Paul Bridges has attempted to recreate Indian pottery using the designs they once used. He got the clay from Bowmanville potter, Sharon Brittain, who fired the pottery for him, most of it with apple ash. He is a member of the Durham Field Naturalists and observations are sent to him. He also designed their news- letter's logo of a heron. When people who know of him, find an injured bird, they take it to Paul for nursing back to health. He was born in Bowmanville and spent two years at Durham College after his high school education. The summer of 1973 brings back pleasant memories for Paul as he worked for an archaeologist at Charleston Lake. They found ten sites there on which he did some preliminary work and test digs. Since 1973, Paul has been a mailman. He enjoyed his daily deliveries in the older section of Bowmanville where he chatted with its elderly resi- dents. Now he works in the Waverley area where he appreciates the summer breezes from the lake but finds the people lead a more hurried existence. If they took the time to chat with Paul Bridges they would be glad they did. He's the one with the fair hair and a definite spring to his step. If citizens interested in preserving our province's pre- history aren't willing to give the time and patience that Paul Bridges has, they can inform museums of pre- 49 Years Ago Thursday, October 17th, 1929 The 40th anniversary of Trinity United Church was celebrated on Sunday with pastor, Rev.

Rotary Club President Earl Wolff hands over the apples in this photo after the district governor spoke to the club members and their wives at an evening meeting in the Flying Dutchman Motor Inn. The governor told the club that although government groups are taking charge of some social programs there is still a need for the work of the Rotary Club. "The needs are alwavs there but they are always changing," he said. Mr. Crookes explained that one of the goals of the Rotary Club is to keep abreast of these changes. He noted that some clubs have been supporting youth projects or senior citizens activities or even undertak- ings such as recycling pro- jects. As an example of what Rotary Clubs have been doing for seniors, he noted that some have held special dinners for seniors with Rotary Club members as waiters. Other clubs have taken charge of driving senior citizens to events in the community. On a worldwide basis, Mr. Crookes reminded the Rotarians that this year Rotary's international presi- dent has announced a 3-H program dealing with Health, Hunger and Humanity. The budget of this program totals three million dollars Mr. Crookes said he believes distribution of food resources is the major problem in the world. "We have a critical problem of distribution but not a shortage of food in the world," he said. LOCAL INDIAN ARTIFACTS While we quibble about the age of an antique within 100 years, there are remnants of past civilizations that go back thousands of years, perhaps beneath our feet. At times though, without concentrated digging, artifacts are unearth- ed by chance, by a farmer's tractor or a contractor's bulldozer and may lie, espe- cially after a recent rainfall, shining in the sun. While Paul Bridges of Bow- manville was bird-watching one day in May of 1969, he came across part of what once had been a large knife. This "Fulton turkey tail" is now part of a large collection Paul has gathered including arrow- heads, spear heads, cutting tools and one piece that is part of a pipe bowl. Paul would like to see the artifacts in display cases but until he can afford that expense, he keeps them in a shoe box. The artifacts were found in ploughed fields in the Antiques By Mary Ann Warkman vicinity of the present Port Darlington Marina. Net sinkers which were found at the Short Site were the most common artifact found and most are palm size. It is these stones which are the key to the area for they reveal that Indians probably did not live here but camped near the shore during the fishing sea- son. Pieces of ground stone were found which had been used as pendants. For instance, one polished green slate pendant has a hole in the centre, apparently drilled from one side. The Indians would have done their drilling with a hollow reed and sand to achieve a hole, the precision of which is remarkable by today's standards. Unusually coloured flints such as a pink one Paul discovered, would have been used for trading. Paul has identified each piece found using the Borden Site Designation Scheme. An axe head he has found, for example, is identified as ALGq-2. Photographs were taken of the artifacts and they are included in a book Paul compiled called "The Short Site and Area - A Preliminary Report" dated February, 1972. The Short Site revealed much of the artifacts found and the name of the location is that of the farmer who owned the land at the time. It is a common practice for archaeo- logists to name pre-historic cultural groups after land- owners, towns or some other current term when it is not possible to associate the archaeological remains directly with an historically native population. Paul Bridges got advice from several archaeologists employed by the Parks and Recreation Areas Branch of the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests as well as others who he has thanked in his report. He also was encouraged by Mr. Forest Dilling of Bowmanville who is an avid historian and "birder". A Preliminary Report had also been written in .1961 by Wiliam S. Donaldson describ- ing an exploratory excavation on the farm belonging to Mr. Blake Short. It is noted in this report that Mr. C.M. Robinson of Oshawa had first discover- ed chipped stone artifacts on the surface of a freshly ploughed field in the spring of 1954. Mr. Donaldson described the recovered artifacts as falling into three general cul- WIN A SKYLARK HOLIDAYBodSW FOR TWO TO THE SUN!
