The world s leading anthropologists responded with
shocked disbelief this week to the news that a primitive
tribe had bccn discovered" within the boundaries of the
lower" forty-eight'; states.
,,
We were not surprised when a primitive society was
found in the hills of the Philippines," said Dr. Z Diem
Boanz of the University of Saigon, 'but to discover such a
tribe in the,mountains of Kentucky is beyond
comprehension.

When the plane made a forced landing in a mountain

valley in Kentucky, the newsmen found themselves in the
midst of a pagan festival.
"It was like a trip back through time to about 4 B.C.
(Before Carter)," said one reporter. "The natives were
shouting, clapping, waving flags and brandishing signs
proclaiming NIXON'S THE MAN and NIXON IN '80. "
A four-piece musical group played a melody that
sounded, according to observers, surprisingly similar to Hail
to the Chiel; It was hard to distinguish the tune, they
noted, because the four instruments were a drum, a kazoo,
a washboard and a musical saw.
Purpose of the ceremony was apparently the dedication Ca00itolCDome

Also under scrutiny by the
Ray administration is the
unemployment compensation
program, and what is known as
"rocking chair money."
What the state can do in this
area also is limited by federal
funds and regulations. But the
Legislature tightened eligibility
rules last year, and will be asked
to tighten them further in the
next session.
The target is seasonal work.
Seasonal workers who work
only part of the year with the
expectation of living on
unemployment compensation
during the offseason may find
the latter money cut off.
Ray probably will have an
executive request bill on the
subject introduced to the 1979
Legislature.

Editor, The Journal:
In the October 28, 1976
issue of the Journal you printed
a picture of the home of my
grandfather, Charles T. Huntley.
The picture was taken July
4, 1899. In the picture from left
to right are my grandfather's
second wife, Martha Searles
Huntley; the young couple with
the baby is my mother and
father. Minnie Huntley Lee and
Patrick E. Lee. The infant, their
firstborn child, was my brother
Edward. Next is my aunt, Elma
Hun/Icy Bowman, and my uncle,
Clarence Hun/Icy. Faintly seen at
the extreme right is my
grandfather, Charles T. Huntley.
In 1899 there were many
Civil War veterans living in the
Shclton area and for many years
there was the Old Soldiers Home
at Rclsil near Bremorlon.
In Shelh)n on the Fourth of
July every year. the veterans in
Ihcir Civil War uniforms walked
in a parade down Railroad
AvclmC. I saw Ibis many limes as

a child. My tall grandfather,
carrying a large flag, led the
parade. He had been wounded in
the Battle of Spotsylvania
Courthouse and always wore his
medals proudly displayed on his
uniform.
The Fourth of July was
always celebrated not only in
Shelton but the smaller towns.
Each home displayed a flag and
many of them were decorated
with:red, white and blue paper
bunting streamers.
At Kamilche the Krise
brothers were delegated to put
on a huge clam bake. A pit was
dug, lined with rocks on which a
fire burned for man hours until
the rocks were very hot. Then
wet evergreen boughs produced a
steam that cooked and opened
all the clams and osters. Little
Skookum Bay was full of the
native Olympia oyslers at that
time and free for nyone who
wanted to pick the up when
the tide went out.

enjoyed. There was dancing
many games. At Kamilche
