In the pictures, at left, Mr. Ward is seen with two Some Articles Found In Ontario County By CHRISTINE JONES Times Staff Reporter WHITBY amount of white man's wam- pum would persuade Earl Ward, of 105 Mary Street West, to part with his cherished --collec- tion of Indian relics. He has spent 35 years and travelled thousands of miles to build up his collection. The North American Indians and their culture fascinate him-- and he in turn can fascinate a listener with tales about the Indians and their history. His collection of relics in- eludes arrowheads perhaps thousands of years old, skinning knives, and bone needles used by the squaws to sew buffalo hides. PETRIFIED FISH He has beads made out of petrified fish. This jewellery, like some of the other items, was found in an Indian grave. And of course he has some wampum -- Indian money. It would not help much with a supermarket bill, but it is an unusual possession. One of his prizes is a cere- monial drum such as the In- dains use in a rain-dance. This is made of deer hide and was (Staff) -- N 0} picked up in Saskatchewan. Another prized piece is a beautiful stone which was used as a necklace. Mr. Ward found this at Renfrew, north-west of Ottawa. He was offered money for-it by Ottawa University but would not sell. 150 ARROWHEADS He owns over 150 arrow- heads, which can pierce a buf- falo's heart. There is a lot of controversy over how arrow- heads were. made, says Mr. Ward, but he thinks the Indians used to chip them with deer- horn. Also in his collection are a moulded pipe dug up in an On- tario field, a flint pipe from the West, and part of a peacepipe which some great chief prob- ably puffed on many decades ago. Mr. Ward began collecting out west during what he calls the "Dirty Thirties,' when the wind blew the dust up over the prairies and uncoverd the hard- pan. One of his arrowheads was found on the famous Kelsey |Trail (Kelsey was the first man every year, but has also) combed much of Ontario for In-| dian relics, and found many| items, including the needles| and_ skinning knives. He found one in the Sunderland area, and another east of Blackwater. The Rainy River area of Western Patani proved a_ productive} jsource of arrowheads. He has what must be a unique pair of bookends -- they are made from Indian hammers. The Indians sometimes made these into weapons by adding wooden handles on thongs made from deer tendons, He has several books on In- dian culture, and occasionally corresponds with people who share his interest in the subject. UNABLE TO ADOPT His enthusiasm is obvious from the way he speaks. "It wasn't war that killed the in- dian -- it was environment," he declares. "As soon as you took him away from his natural mode of life he was unable to adapt himself. He got lazy, and copied the white man's ways. to discover the prairies). SOME IN COUNTY Mr. Ward still goes west Balloon Is Recovered In New York WHITBY (Staff) -- A balloon, sent aloft by a Henry Street High School geography student, has been returned to the school after a 250-mile flight. The balloon was sent up as one of 350 released by the geog- raphy students to publicize the Whitby Centennial Program and to study pressure gradients and wind currents. Georgraphy Teacher Mr. Fisher said the balloon found in Greene, New York State, fol- lowed the route of an isobaric pressure system which at the time of release was flowing south-southeast of Whitby. He said the balloon followed the pressure system even though prevailing winds at the time were from | the north.
