Committee members have found they lack the technical knowledge to evaluate the four or five sites which are being considered. They want to ask I. Dale Despain, Utah County Planning Director, to look over the sites, together with a qualified real estate man and an architect. The School Board will be asked to consider this proposal at their next meeting April 19. If they approve, George Bone, Lehi School Board representative, will contact the experts. The Advisory Committee will not meet again until after the School Board meeting, or after the experts have studied the sites. They intend to delay any action on the matter until they have opinions and recommendations from the experts. Members of the Advisory Com mittee indicated that a new site has been brought to their attention. It is in the Seventh Ward, located near the "west school site" already under study. one-fift- Hol-broo- k, Spurred by their parents' enthusiasm for natural history, the made the Hutchings children museum a family project as soon as they were old enough to join in the hobby. Before long it became a family enterprise which holidays occupied their week-end- s, and vacations. Often they would load the car with their own family ; union and from many foreign visit the countries annually museum, and many authorities in natural history have expressed surprise at the size and scope of the collection. Strangely enough, Utah, with its wealth of natural history, is not "museum minded". It is one of the few states which does not have a state museum. Mr. Hutchings" main concern now is keeping the museum intact and here where it belongs in Lehi, Most of the items in it were collected in the Utah area fossils and minerals, Indian relics, wild-- . life, and also Pioneer relics. He would have no trouble disposing of the collection, If he desired. Any number of universities would like to have it, to say noth- ing of individual collectors. Just recently the Hutchings have had offers from people in Las Vegas, Denver and Arizona for the entire collection, but they don't want it broken up or taken away. Exhibits , Perhaps the most spectacular part of the collection are the minerals, but they are only a part of the total Mr. Hutchings has collected and mounted all the known birds of Utah County, and has 400 sets of birds eggs. The archeaological collection is a museum in itself, representing the production of 21 excavated Indian mounds. They have exhibits from to the the basketmakers, Pueblos and down to the modern Indians, covering thousands of years. The latest addition to this collection are several boxes of materials from the very ancient Feurt Mounds in Ohio, sent to Mr. Hutchings by the president of the Ohio State Archeaological Society. The boxes contain Indian axes, spears, pottery and the like. An interesting sidelight of this collection is the fact that archaeologists have discovered some of the Ohio mounds were not dwellings, but Old iron smelters built by the Indians. In the field of Palentology. the collection contains a large number of fossils from the earliest forms of life down to the dinosaurs, including huge dinosaur footprints. There is also a large collection of marine life which space will not permit them to display. , MR. AND MRS.
