Starting New Year Wrong Vandalism and Burglaries Reported During Weekend Hospitals First Things, Last Things ByEricHoffer Continued from Saturday Earliest Jericho was a sanctuary adjacent to a copious well It was occupied by hunters who made it a more or less permanent camping place. Some of the clay floors had stone sockets for the placing of totem poles. There is evidence of the tentative beginning of agriculture dating from 8B-IO B. C. The presence of Anatolian obsidian indicates a link with northern regions.

The settlement grew rapidly in size during the eighth millennium and was heavily fortified with three super-imposed dry- stone walls, a huge watchlowcr with an internal staircase, and a deep rock-cut ditch outside the wall. Toward the end of Die eighth millennium Jericho was taken over by a different cultural group, possibly by the one against whom the massive fortifications had been erected. There evidence that the city was deserted for a time previous to the takeover. The newcomers raised crops and domesticated the goat. Though they had no pottery, they knew how to make clay figurines of the Mother Goddess, and how to plaster skulls and mold them into faces of beauty.

They fashioned beautiful stone vessels. There is no tolling whether the first settlers wore nativos or invading hunters. The fact that some were longheaded and some bmadheadcd may indicate a mixed population. Nor do we know whether inn people who i took over Jericho after t.hc end of Iho eighth millennium, and who were more artistically gifted, were of the invading 'Paleolithic hunters. It is perhaps legitimate to assume Unit the first attempt to plant grain was made by grain collectors familiar with the life cycle of wild grain plants, and that the hunters appropriated the practice from them.

One ought also to assume that the hunters from the north would not readily take to the life of an agriculturalist. Many of them would sooner or later turn northward again and resume the search for a hunter's paradise. They would carry with them the new mode of food production, and a taste for living in a fortified city. It was probably such remnants of the Paleolithic hunters who built the city of Calal Huyuk on the Konya plain in Anatolia. Catal Huyuk was a town of substantial size in the seventh millennium B.

three or four thousand years before the famous cities of Mesopotamia. The dwellers of the town farmed and hunted. Since the Konya plain had no wild grain plants, the agriculture of Cala) Huyuk was imported from somewhere else, probably from Palestine, as Mr. Mel- laart conjectures. As late as fiOOO B.

C. the Konya plain teemed with wild life. There were aurochs, wild pig, severa! species of deer, two species of wild ass, wild sheep and some gazelle. The people of Catal Huyuk made good use of the hunter's paradise. They also cultivated no less than fourteen food plants, and raised sheep and goats.

Since the houses were built one against the other, the city presented to the outside world a blank wall which gave it the appearance of a fortress. As already mentioned, the upper Paleolithic heritage is clearly recognizable in Catal Huyuk. There are the large hunting weapons, the realistic hunting scenes painted on walls, the modeling of animals wounded in hunting rites, the practice of red- ochcr burials and, finally, certain lype.s of stone tools. To be continued Six cases of vandalism and two burglaries were among incidents reported to Emporia police during the weekend. Vandalism resulting in an estimated 5250 damage to glass doors at Emporia High School was reported to police.

City. Nixon (Continued from pg. i) ing the 150th anniversary of Its founding in 1822 by freed American slaves. Monrovia was on a holiday schedule, with banners welcoming Mrs. Nixon and congratulating the new president.

Crowds stood around the $6 million, eight-story presidential mansion, with its huge oval courtyard and blue-tiled lagoons, where much of the activity was centered. The new president is a 58- year-old Baptist minister who was President William V. S. Tubman's vice president for 19 years. Tubman died last July after 27 years in office.

Mrs. Nixon was occupying the presidential suite on the top floor that will be Tolbert's after he is sworn in. She was the first to use it, and pronounced it "absolutely beautiful" and the view of the sea "impressive." At her press session in a marble reception room of the building, Mrs. Nixon said her husband wanted this to be "a meaningful trip, not just a so' cial trip." She added that she would talk with the leaders of three African countries on her Ghana and the Ivory any subjects they want to discuss. "I might ask some questions, too," she added with a chuckle.

She hnd no trouble fielding a question from one reporter who recalled a photo of the Nixons with Generalissimo Chiang Kai- shek and asked her how she viewed President Nixon's trip to Peking next month. "Well, we haven't turned our back on our friends, that's for sure," she replied. She noted that the United States didn't vote to expel Nationalist China from the Nations although "other countries did." "We certainly consider them friends that we're not going to leave by the roadside," she continued, "but it's terribly important to get to know the Chinese people." Pointing out that they comprise one-fourth of the world's population, she said: "We've yol to start a dialogue to get understanding of each other's position so that we can talk rather than fight.".
