Inspect cords and lamps before you use them. Finally, install a smoke detector in your home or apartment if one is not already there; a good Christmas gift for the entire family is a second smoke detector as a watchdog against a fire. A portable fire extinguisher is also a worthwhile investment, one on each floor of the house. Keep the extinguisher handy just in case. Never use electric lights on meialic trees. Although safe when used according to manufacturers directions, matallic trees can become charged with electricity from faulty electric light cords, and this may result in a shock or electrocution hazard to anyone who thouches the energized tree. Use no more than three sets of light fixtures for each extension cord. Inspect all rooms before retiring for the night or leaving the house. Make certain all tree and display lights have been turned off and the plugs disconnected. Many fires have occured when lights were left buring in an unattended house. Play is safe over the holidays.

The youngsters would choose up sides with half of the group imitating cowboys and the rest, To us the Indians. games were a playful pastime as we engaged in reckless fury, in the of a bitter deathlike struggle. Employed as weapons were sticks which would cause the enemy to drop to the ground in a lifeless heap when the opponent shouted: "Bang, youre dead!" Little did we realize that the excitement we imitated was only a drama of more painful times even though somewhat over-enacte- Part of the actual scene of action was a farm now identified as "The Last Resort by the Cecil and Beatrice Martin family and was a staging area, as well as a campsite for the Indians in pioneer days. The farm displays the vantage point of a prominent hill which served as a lookout from which the Indians of the area could survey the entire Scipio valley from all sides. The hill also served as a convenient source of supply of food and clothing for the Indians, since wild game. parMeu-larl- y mule deer, considered the surrounding a choice countryside habitat. Unsuspectingly, they were often caught within range of skillful hands w ielding the deadly bow and arrow. The meat was not wasted and the hides, after undergoing a process of refinement, were made into gloves, moccasins, and other regalia used by the Indians, masters of the great outdoors. Symbols of the Indian culture previously engraved in stone arc still faint on the face of the cliffs on the cast side of the hill, and carry the ugly "pockmarks" caused recently by thoughtless the impulsive squeeze of a trigger. We may never learn the message there recorded. In the past few months, part of the ledge has been further devastated by human hands of destruction by the shattering effects of dynamite! From the vantage point of the hill spoken of, the Indians were able to determine the appropriate time to raid the valley and make off with livestock which were so vital to the needs of the pioneers who learned early to tie up the calves so if the cows were driven off in the raid they would be sure to return home. When the Martins purchased the property from Hcb Matthews a number of years ago, there was a lookout tower on top of the hill which provided wide for surveillance an Indian scout. Cecil Martin recalls the structure of stone from boyhood times and relates how he stood in the tower on several occasions admiring the beauty of the mountains surrounding and fertile valley, remembering times not too far past when Indians occupied the area. Pottery, corn grinders, and other Indian artifacts were easy to find after their owners left the area but have long since disappeared to who Arrowknows where. heads and flint used to be picked up by the can full by children who found it to be an amusing pastime. Lifestyles for the cowboys and Indians have changed and all are being absorbed into a new society of a vastly different nature. Memories of the past and their significant influence on the present can be relived and revitalized by visiting the museum and studying the artifacts and associated history, for how can we tell where we are going if we dont know where we have been?
