Frederick National Geographic New# Service Giving up their centuries-old cargoes at last, drowned ships are" yielding fresh insights into the settlement of the Americas. Items found on ships sunk in the age of colonization indicate that supposedly modern things like tax shelters, laws against shipping in foreign bottoms, and junk jewelry all played a part in the struggle for the New World.

"In many cases artifacts re covered from the sea are far better preserved than those ashore. In addition, they can often be more precisely dated through records of marine disasters. To have such exact dating adds immeasurable to the value of certain finds by establishing their relationship to historical patterns." Those who sailed for the New World in the 250 years between Columbus's historic ianding on the island of San Salvador in 1492 and the decline of Spanish power in the Americas risked their lives as well as their comfort. Ships often were unseaworthy. largely because of human greed. As trade with the New World increased, so did demand for shipping, and more than one rotting hulk was pressed into service for a hazardous voyage that rarely included the vessel's owner. Once in the New Wofld, such derelicts were often burned for their iron fittings, to be sold at a handsome profit at one of the great trade centers -- Havana. Veracruz, or Portobelo. The result was a further shortage of ships. Spain stripped her forests bare of heavy timber in a vain effort to fill the demand. Many a Spanish merchant resorted to foreign ship charters despite a royal decree that all goods shipped to the country's overseas colonies be of Spanish manufacture and travel only in Spanish hulls. More than 200 years later. Nuestra Senora de los Milagros. a Spanish ship lost off the coast of Yucatan in 1741. yielded up brass spoons from France, religious me dals from Italy, German needles, and an assortment of English pewter. Clearly. Spanish merchants had found ways around a law that threatened to moor their ships at home with hawsers of red tape. In exchange for South America's gold and emeralds. Europe sent back mere trinkets. Milagros' car go ran most heavily to brass crucifixes and medals, and to rings, pendants, brooches, and earrings set with cheap glass brilliants. Found on another Spanish wreck in the Bahamas was a ten-foot-long gold chain. Such chains were frequently long and heavy, perhaps because personal jewelry was ex empt from some of the taxes levied on gold bars or bullion. Such early forerunners of the tax shelter would have had one notable disadvantage at sea, points out Mr. Peterson. "One can imagine some luckless nobleman being washed overboard in a storm and speeded to the bottom by his own tax-free wealth." Endorphine Discovery Aids Drug Addicts Endorphine is not exactly a household term but it might be in the future. The discovery of en dorphine is, perhaps, one of the greatest scientific breakthroughs so far in the understanding of pain and drug addiction. Actually, we have very little objective understanding of pain and no real way to measure it. Since 1973 scientists have been studying analgesics (pain killers) to see how they work on the brain. They have also been looking at why some people have a high tolerance to pain and others have a low tolerance. The answers to these curious questions have been discovered by three groups of independent re searchers working in three different parts of the country. Here is a short explanation of their work. The brain produces a chemical, similar to morphine, which takes care of its own pain. Imagine a lock and key. with the lock being the receptor site of the brain and the key being the complex morphine like compound that the brain produces. These compounds are called endorphines and are made up of proteins and food substances made by the body. The key (endorphine) reaches the lock (re ceptor site) and kills the pain. Actually it is not quite this simple but that is just about the way it works. To test their theory scientists have chosen two animals of roughly the same size -- the horse, having a low threshold of pain, and the camel, having a high threshold of pain. They found the camel's brain produces much more endorphine than the horse's brain. And just as you might expect, people with low thresholds of pain produced much less endorphine than people with high thresholds of pain. For the first time, by measuring a body chemical, we can objectively measure and understand pain. The discovery of endorphine is important for another reason. Most addictive drugs, such as morphine. heroin, etc.. are dangerous chemi cals. However, if one gives purified endorphine extracted from the brain to a person undergoing drug withdrawal the person improves immediately. Clenton James Smith, 37, "Direc tor of Economic Development for the East Tennessee Development District in Knoxville, Tenn., has begun as the Executive Director of the Southeastern Economic De velopment Commission in Eliza bethtown. Smith will serve as coordinator of a nine county region which is headquartered in Elizabethtown and will be responsible for carrying out the programs of the federal Economic Development Adminis tration. Smith's responsibilities as Exe cutive Director of the Commission will include development of pro jects, funding sources, application processes, technical assistance and inter-governmental coordination. Smtth is a 1963 graduate of East PSU Rock Concert Set Tickets are now on sale at three area locations for the "Mother's Finest" concert Thursday, Jan. 26 at 8 p.m. Tickets are S4 limited advance sale and $5 the day of the show and are available at Eutaw Records in Fayetteville, Merrimac Music in Lumberton and the Alumni Affairs office in Sampson Hall on the PSU campus. "Mother's Finest" is appearing with special guests "High and Mighty" in the largest group attraction ever seen at Pembroke State University, according to Stu dent Government President David McDuffie. McDuffie has booked all pop artists at PSU for two years as Entertainment Committee chair man and now serves as head of the first concert committee at PSU. Because of the size of the two acts, the concert will be presented in the 4,000 seat Jones Health and Physical Education building rather than in the 1.700 seat Performing Arts Center on the campus. Mc Duffie emphasized the concert will be festival seating, that is no reserved seating -- all first come, first served. He added plenty of parking is available near the build ing The concert at Pembroke State is part of the 1978 Homecoming Week for the record number of students attending this year. "It is open to the public, however," stated McDuffie. '/Mother's Finest" has a major recording contract with Epic Re cords and has released two albums, "Mother's Finest" and "Another Mother Further." From the latter came their regional hit of a few weeks back. "Baby Love." Members of the group describe their music as the best parts of rock and roll, disco and rhythm and blues, according to McDuffie. "And lead singer Joyce Kennedy can belt out a song with the best of today's rock and rollers," McDuf fie said. "We're looking forward to a superb night of entertainment at PSU." said McDuffie. "I hope that many of the area residents will join us for this, the first of many big name bands in our area." Unaccustomed Strain Can Result In Bursitis Sometimes it's called "tennis elbow," "swimmers knee." or other names indicating specific joint pains but it is bursitis just the same. In some cases it is a source of minor irritation. In others, it is a painful and disabling ailment. Bursitis is an inflammation of a lubricating sac around a joint. The sac. called a bursa, is similar to a collapsed balloon with some fluid inside. These sacs are located at various points around the body and act as a cushion and lubricant where joints and tissues rub and touch. While it can affect many parts of the body, bursitis most often occurs in a shoulder, knee, or elbow. In most cases bursitis follows an unaccustomed strain or overuse of an arm or leg. You can probably avoid this common and painful ailment by gradual conditioning and strengthening of the muscles you plan to use in any repetitious motion outside your normal range of activity. For example, you might strengthen your arm and wrist muscles before painting the house. If you develop bursitis, no one need suggest that you see a physician. You will be hurting enough that you will be the first to think of it. In recent years scientists have learned much about bursitis and there is much your physician can do to relieve the pain and promote healing. One of the mainstays in the treatment is the use of a mild pain killer. Cortisone - like drugs and heat treatments also have success in bursitis therapy. Another treatment that has long been used is complete res* in bed. However, any therapy that will lessen the chance of the afflicted joint being moved will ease th| pain and speed healing. Just like any other bearings, your bursae stay trouble free much longer if you warm up slowly and let them get lubricated before you race the motor. % New Regional EDA Director Is Named Carolina University and received a Master's of Science Degree from the University of Tennessee in Geography in 1966.
