The cave, known as "Clyde's Cavern, " is yielding a significant cache of artifacts from at least two different cultures which once flourished in Utah and then became extinct. Although none of the charcoalfragments excavated from the cave have been carbon-dated, the U archaeologists are finding artifacts typical of the Desert Archaic and the Fremont Cultures, roughly dating occupation anywhere from 8, 000 B. C, to 1200 A, D, Dr. Jesse D. Jennings, professor of anthropology and director of the Utah Museum of Natural History who is directing the excavation, says the Desert Archaic people comprise the oldest known culture in Utah. Their occupation was dated at Danger and Hogup Caves in northern Utah between 8, 000 B, C, and 400 A, D, Artifacts similar to those found in the north are emerging from the lower levels of Clyde's Cavern. The Fremont people, dated in other Utah "digs" between 400 and 1200 A, D., were a more advanced culture. Unlike the Desert Archaic people, they used pottery and had a comparatively agricultural system. At least a part of Clyde's Cavern was used as a mud -- and -- stick granary in which the Fremont occupants stored com grown on the valley's alluvial fans. According to Dr. Jennings, the Desert Archaic people lived off the land much like the other stone age people. They survived by exploiting almost everything edible in their environment, . . from seeds and plants to insects, small rodents, Volume 72 Number Thursday, July 1, 1971 26 Teacher Listens and Helps well-develo- deer and buffalo.

Silli-ma- n, pianist-teach- er from Green River. The lone girl in a family of six boys, she was bom in Fayette, Sanpete County, but was reared in Salt Lake City, Practicing the piano was her happiness and she progressed into the McCune School of Music and Art, where she studied piano and music theory. While she was majoring in piano and piano teaching under Mabel Borg Jenkins, she had the honor of playing several recitals with Grant Johannesen. (The ce of musical achievement). Lucille lacked just one fourth credit of having a B. A, degree in music when she left McCune, so to complete the measure, she enrolled at the University of Utah. However, when she found that the wage scale for music teachers dropped down from that of education majors, she decided to change her tune and finale in elementary education. After graduating from the University of Utah in 1938, she taught for a year at Parowan and on to GreenRiver where she taught for a few months before deciding to harmonize with Howard. The 4 grace notes they produced have developed into solid compositions.

Just at dawn on the morning of the Fourth, the local residents could count on the silence being broken by several earth shaking booms to herald in the Day of Independence.

Moss, today reported that the Federal Communications Commission in tends to allow two new television channels to be carried on cable television in the Utah market. Senator Moss said the FCC intent was made known yesterday at a hearing conducted by the Senate Communications Subcommittee, of which he is a member. Purpose of the hearing was to consider the entry of cable television into the top 100 TV markets in,the United States. "At the hearing I questioned FCC Chairman Dean Burch about the possibility of allowing cable television channels in Utah at the request of the mayors of Ogden, Salt Lake City and Provo, Each Mayor had urged me to 'seek the addition- al service. " In answer to the Senator's question, Chairman Burch said the FCC was now, after six years of hearings, willing to allow the admission of two new channels into the Utah market. Senator Moss said there was no further elaboration at the hearing by the Chairman as to specific dates of the additional service, but that the FCC would report back to the Subcommittee by August 8. 1971. a lot of fun. Orv would usually take the occasion to don his special garb as an Indian Chief, mount one of his white horses and spend the day giving the kids a thrill from his war whoops or rides with him on the horse. He had two white horses for several and, almost without exception, about everyone in town borrowed those horses at one time or another.
