UADER-TIMES, KITTANNING. SEPTEMBER 24, IM4 ofsom Man Get This Far From Home A missile weapon that has been found in the vicinity of Dayton, exactly where remains top secret, has experts searching for its track, believed, to be southwest of Armstrong County by more than a thausand miles. The missile is an arrowhead, the striking end of a a weapon used with a' bow. It is, in fact, a product of simple primitive workmanship and was probably dropped by a Folsom man, one of a Stone Age people supposed to have lived in North America at the end of the last great glacier. Artifacts found in 1925, near Folsom, New Mexico support this theory.

Folsom man, so far as scientists have been able to determine, ranged chiefly in the southwest, and finding one of his artifacts this far north offers the first real evidence that the Stone Age human ever strayed from his normal southwest home. The man who found the Folsom paint is Bernard Snyder of Kittanning RD 2, who has spent most of his life searching for artifacts. He won't tell exactly where the arrowhead was when he found it, but the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh has accepted the find as positive. a recognized authority in the field, has had a close working relationship with the museum for several, years. In addition, he is ead Turned Up in Dayton Vicinity New Slant on Primitive Wanderinas servalion League and other sportsmen clubs.

His private den at home (he built and landscaped his house and grounds) contains literally hundreds of artifacts that he found on Armstrong County lands. When Snyder found his Folsom point, he took it to the logical man to confirm or disprove its authenticity: Harry Bassinger of Templeton RD 1, a close friend and a certified associate of the National Geographic Society. Bassinger agreed that Snyder had found a missile weapon once used by a Folsom man. A dedicated expert, Bassinger has one of the nation's biggest and finest individual col ltd ions of artifacts, all neatly displayed and properly identified under glass. Bassinger's collection ij priceless, yet he gives the impression be might trade it all a- wav for one Folsom point.

says the ever growing list of companies increasing their dividends and declaring extras seems to express business confidence in the business outlook. Moreover, the firm says, with stock prices in line and price- earnings ratios not excessive it believes the market is headed higher and advises that positions be established in fundamentally attractive issues. Newton D. Zinder of E. F.

Hutton Co. Inc. says the fact that the market i showing a tendency to ignore occasional unfavorable news is a strong indication that the path of least resistance remains upward. On the economic front, International Statistical Bureau Inc. feels that new highs will be recorded in the economy in the coming months.

The firm says there is yet no evidence of speculative excesses in securities, commodities or inventories.

S. is the busiest and quite possibly the hottest young prospect in pictures. When I was on the coast a few weeks ago, his was the name I heard most often. Hollywood has waited years for someone to drop into John Garfield's niche and this seems to be the one. Joan Crawford even has compared him with the young Clark Gable.

"I even miss Staten Island when I'm out in California," he told me with a grin. GEORGE WAS stationed at a missile command post in Staten Island for a year and a half, during his Army hitch. "I was overseas," he explained.

"You know, that's like another country. Like, say, South Dakota. The' people are no more like ordinary, hip New Yorkers than well, I'll say that Harlem is more like the upper East Side than Staten Island is. I used to take the ferry back to the Village I was married and living there then at night, and it was like returning to civilization again." Four years ago, Segal was doing "The Premise" off Broadway when he got a bit role in "The Young Doctors" film. Fredric March was the picture's star, and he went downtown to see George's play and was so impressed that he 3egan to boost him.

Nina Khrushchev, the premier's wife, joined in the applause. But just before the performance of Verdi's Requiem, a chorale work, Miss Price disclosed that she had been treated for bronchitis. She said she vas "doctored up" because of he respiratory trouble, which she blamed on the quick- hanging Moscow weather. One of her aides said Miss r'rice "did not sing up to snuff, but she did as well as she could."
