BIG COLLECTION OF O.C. INDIAN RELICS AT STRANDT'S MUSEUM Saga of ancient Indian civilizations which once flourished in these United States and the passing pageant of Shoshonean Indians that once inhabited Orange county lives again out of the pages of history via the huge collection of relics at H. F. Strandt's museum, 1025 East Broadway. A resident of Anaheim for the past 26 years, Strandt, an internationally known authority on Indian lore and archeologist and anthropologist for many years, has a large collection of Orange county relics of more than 10,000 specimens. These tokens represent a civilization of this vicinity which existed more than 3,000 years ago. The relics of the first Shoshonean Indian include crude arrowheads and spearheads. The ancient inhabitants were known as the scrapper makers or Oak Grove people. Fossils of the second culture include points more than 2,000 years old which were used by the early Shoshonean or hunting people. Unlike their predecessors, the third culture comprised the Canalino Indians who lived here during the days of the Spanish conquest and early days of the padre. All were descendants of the original Shoshoneans, although different tribal dialects were spoken. Excavations of each tribe were made by Strandt revealing a variance in the type of points used by the mountain people who created small delicate arrow heads and harpoon shaped points as compared with the larger, broader points employed by the coastal tribes. Through all three cultures beads were scarce. The Indians were practical minded sod hut dwellers. In all directions. Scattered burials were made in shell mittens. Then there were plot burials of 10 to 30, community burial grounds outside mitten on a hillside with bodies close together, and community burial grounds which were away from the camps. Creation was employed entirely by nomadic desert Indians. Relics from Orange county on display also include bone scrapers and fleshers of deer bone, bone awls which were used for making clothes, fish nets and basket weaving, and asphalted shells found in burials. These dippers or ladels and pectin-shell food dishes are very scarce because of their fragility. Points used were created often from gem stone which is found throughout California, chert, jasper or calcedony. One of the original founders of the Archaeology Society of Southern California, Strandt is now a charter member. Since coming to California 31 years ago, he was field representative of the organization, guiding trips in the desert. He is also a member of the Museum of American Indians, Heye Foundation, New York City, and the Society for American Archaeology which has 800 members from all over the world. Artifacts collected from Indian excavation and exploration of many diggings of the southwest coast of California include the only original ceremonial stone rings found to date, the rare cogged stones which are found so far only from Ventura to San Clemente and whose use has been the basis of much research and specialization. Others include and anthropology at an early Forty-eight years ago having viking excavations for the burg museum on the Aalto lands which are between Italian, Swedish and coasts located in the northern of the Baltic sea.

Excavations of each tribe were made by Strandt revealing a variance in the type of points used by the mountain people who created small delicate arrow heads and harpoon shaped points as compared with the larger, broader points employed by the coastal tribes. Through all three cultures beads were scarce. The Indians were practical minded sod hut dwellers. An extensive research of ancient Shoshonean lore was made between 1835 and 1940 by the Anthropological Project of Orange county with Strandt as field director. The project was sponsored by the Santa Ana Junior college during its first four years and by Fullerton Junior college in its last year, augmented by a staff of 16 men at the Santa Ana office. Prominent member of the group was Terry Stevenson, former postmaster of Santa Ana who died May 8, 1943. He formerly owned the Santa Ana Register and was the author of "Under the Shadow of Saddle Back," "Don Barnardo Yorba," "Caminos Viejos" and "Foster vs. Pico." Burial habits of Orange county Indians have afforded room for much comment. The dead were interred in refuge heaps which were located within the camp site. The disposal grounds are known as kitchen-mittens. All three cultures buried their deceased tribal members facing City, and the Society for American Archaeology which has 800 members from all over the world. Artifacts collected from Indian excavation and exploration of many diggings of the southwest coast of California include the only original ceremonial stone rings found to date, the rare cogged stones which are found so far only, from Ventura to San Clemente and whose use has been the basis of much research and specialization. Others include spear points, large polished stones for dressing hides, heating stones with holes for removing from fire; an anvil from the Banning land company site, polished medicine stones, metates or acorn grinders, paint mortars of steatite or soapstone, and arrow shaft straighteners, and stone plummets used as weights in fishing. Numerous excavations have been made by Strandt during summer field trips to Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, San Nicholas and San Miguel Islands.

Drivers Asked to 'Keep Eye Peeled' On Pedestrians The Department of Motor Vehicles admonished drivers this week to keep a sharp eye out for pedestrians over the holiday period. The warning, which is a part of the current statewide safety drive sponsored by Governor Earl Warren, has its slogan: "Don't Let Death Take Your Holiday". It points out that December is the worst month of the year for pedestrian accidents because of shorter hours of daylight, fog and rain, congestion of city streets due to holiday shopping and release of children from school. Pedestrians, in turn, were urged to wear articles of white clothing or even carry newspapers to increase visibility in the twilight or night hours. Sell it through our classified section!
