LONG BEFORE COLUMBUS If You Find Skeleton 'Please Stop Digging!' Persons who discover skeletons while trenching for sweet-peas may wonder what to do. Nine chances out of ten, in Orange County, that skeleton belongs to a long dead Canalino Indian. If so, William O. Payne, Orange Coast College's Archaeologist, would be interested. To those who uncover bones or Indian artifacts while digging for landscaping or building construction, Payne sayd: "Please stop digging and call me. The bones aren't the important thing. It's the position of the skeleton and the materials buried with it. They can add to our knowledge of the Canalinos." EDITORIAL Monday—a Day To Recall Valor The silence came at 11 a.m., and the tired men stood up straight and breathed the still air and tasted the sudden sweet knowledge that they had survived. It was Nov. 11, 1918 on the Western Front. Pretty soon the men started to holler and jump up and down. Then they saw the fellows on the other side of no man’s land a hundred or so yards away starting to do the same thing, and then they all climbed out of their holes and the other fellows did too, and they all met at the barbed wire, with the dead around them. That other war was a long time ago, and most Americans have half-forgotten that it ever happened. The holiday which originally marked its end is Numerous burial sites are cated on the coastal area along the Pacific shore, Corona del Mar south, Spanish times the Canal camped on the bluets and gather shellfish. Shallow Graves Indians who died were in shallow graves, in a right position with knees up, head down and arms ed to the chest. Often they was buried in a blanket in grass. Sometimes art such as scrapers made of sure flaked stones or vests used for abalone were buried with the body. The most recent find Payne was called in to investigate was on South Lakes cliff, overlooking Monarchs. A three-man crew wore for landscape artist Fred M. Lang of South Laguna covered a skeleton under feet of sandy soil while ing a garden terrace on cliff face. Lang, a former ange College nighttime instructor, thought to call Payne.

Then they saw the fellows on the other side of no man's land a hundred or so yards away starting to do the same thing, and then they all climbed out of their holes and the other fellows did too, and they all met at the barbed wire, with the dead around them. That other war was a long time ago, and most Americans have half-forgotten that it ever happened. The holiday which originally marked its end is now officially celebrated as Veterans Day, and when people think of war, they tend to think of H-bombs and missiles. But for the men who fought that other war, it was the likes nothing else in the history of man's inhumanity to man. Only for moments, and then only in a few places, did the men of World War II and Korea ever take the concentrated pounding that was the daily lot of the soldiers on both sides of the Western Front. And it was a rare man who came out of it without a scar on his soul, if nowhere else. They were a funny lot, those Yanks who went to France to pay back a favor to Lafayette. They wore funny little strips of cloth wrapped around their legs, and they used horses and mules to pull their cannon, and they didn't know the meaning of the word electronics. Most of all, they were so naive that they thought they could end all war and save the world for democracy just by being ridiculously brave and laying down their lives in a muddy, inglorious Hell of barbed wire and machine guns and poison gas. So for that bravery ——and the naivete — let us remember on Veteran's Day, 1963, that moment of silence 45 years ago, and the men who never lived to hear it.

Numerous burial sites are located on the coastal bluffs along the Pacific shore from Corona del Mar south. In pre-panish times the Canalinos camped on the bluffs to fish and gather shellfish. Shallow Graves Indians who died were buried in shallow graves, in an upright position with knees drawn up, head down and arms clasped to the chest. Often the body was buried in a blanket of sea bass. Sometimes artifacts, such as scrapers made of presure flaked stones or walrus skins used for abalone pries, were buried with the body. The most recent find which Payne was called in to investigate was on South Laguna off, overlooking Monarch Bay. A three-man crew working for landscape artist Frederick Lang of South Laguna uncovered a skeleton under six feet of sandy soil while building a garden terrace on the Jeff face. Lang, a former Ortege College nighttime instructor, thought to call Payne. Acorn Flour With members of the OCC archaeology Club, Payne continued the digging.

In 1827 the members raised funds to send to Beethoven to assist him in his illness. Mendelssohn had a long and close association with the Royal Philharmonic Society. Sir Thomas Beecham became associated with the Royal Philharmonic Society in 1910 when he first conducted its concerts, and he conducted them intermittently throughout the rest of his life. In 1932 Beecham joined with the Society to form the london Philharmonic Symphony which regularly presented the Society's concert series until it was disbanded during World War II.
