Terrace Bay Schreiber | Wednesday, June12, 1985 Vol. 20 No. 24 Serving Terrace Bay, Schreiber and Rossport --. Seat belt convincer The convincer is intend- ed to convince people to wear seat belts by showing their protection value in a crash situation. It is a four- teen foot long, five foot wide, six foot high inclin- ed ramp with a bench type car seat mounted on a sled. The seat is equipped with two three-point lap and shoulder belts. The sled is on glide guidance rails and is raised to the top of the ramp by a built-in power winch. When released, it slides to the bottom of the ramp and impacts a shock absorber, simulating an 8km/hr barrier crash. There is enough force to throw people against their seat belts in a manner visi- ble to observers and recognizable by the riders. Objectives of the Con- vincer Demonstration: 1. To show that in an 8km/hr crash, the forces of declaration are noticeable and that in a 20 or 30 km/hr crash, the forces would be many times a great. : 2. To give people the feel- ing of continuing forward after the sudden stop of the vehicle. Illustrate the con- cept of "human collision."' 3. To iliusturate how seat belts work to prevent the "human collision."' 4. To give the public access to information about seat belts. The convincer will be in the Terrace Bay Fire Hall on Wednesday May 12th and Thursday May 13th, The times for Terrace Bay" are Wednesday 2 p.m. til 8 p.m. and Thursday 2 p.m. til 8 p.m. The Schreiber times and loca- tion are available by con- tacting the local OPP detachment during the hours of 8:30 to 4:30 at 824-2333.

They im- mediately brought them back to town and took them to Marilyn Turcotte who has studied archeology to see if she could give them any information about these stones. Upon ex- amination, Marilyn declared that these were definately artifacts, but that the Ministry of Citizenship and Culture should be call- ed in for further informa- tion and examination. Field Archeologist, David Arthurs arrived from Thunder Bay, and began an investigation at the site. Some small tests were performed and accor- ding to Mr. Arthurs, on the basis of shape and size, they date back approx- imately 3000 to 5000 B.C. They are of an archaic culture, much more sophisticated than Cave Man, probably belonging to the ancestors of the Algonquin Indians; living a lifestyle that was based on hunting and fishing. They were usually small bands of people, families of 20 to 30, all occupying the same camps of the area using the portage system - moving to where the food was more plentiful. These stone tools were all found together in one spot in what was like a pit or container in the ground. They are glass-like in structure, waxy, basically made from a. flint-like substance known as Chert. This material was to be found in-the bedrock below Hudson's Bay and was pushed to the north of Lake Superior during the Iceage. Mr. Arthurs told the '*News" that the only surveys that have been in this area, have been done along the shores of Lake Superior and. that no ar- cheologist has done work in the Interior. : '*This is very definitely a most important discovery, as it is another piece of the puzzle that lets us examine our heritage."" The site is being registered as an archeological site and will be protected by law.
