fEDFORP MAIL TRIBUNE. rEDFORD. OREGON. FRIDAY. MARCTT fi. PAGE SEVEN POTTERY SHOWS OLD INDIAN ART; New Official WASHINGTON (UP) Window M. Walker, formerly of the bureau of American ethnology, haa reported to the Smithsonian 1 Institution that beautiful Incised and engraved Indian pottery of Louisiana, Arkansaa and Texaa was made by the tribes first encountered by white men In this region. In a burial site near Natchitoches, Ia., Walker found earthenware bot tles and bowls of this type associated with such objects as glass beads and scissors, which undoubtedly were of European manufacture. This burial site can be traced his torically to a branch of the Caddo tribe. Thus, Walker points out, "the chronological data offer a clue which should assist considerably In the in terpretation of many of the archeol oglcal remains In northwestern Louis iana, southern Arkansas and north eastern Texas." . A skeleton of an old woman was recovered from the ancient grave yard. It la a notable illustration of the extreme head distortion prac ticed by the southeastern Indiana on their children. The head was flatten ed both at the front and rear until, fax the words of one early explorer, "it was pointed and almost of the shape of a miter." This distortion was accomplished by pressing the head of a child In clay between two boards every night until It liad assumed the desired shape, which the aboriginals consid ered an attribute of beauty. Appar ently the practice did little perman ent damage.

(Aasoclated Preaa Photo TO TRY SUCCESS OF UTOPIA PLAN MONTREAL (UP) Several score unemployed men and their families, tired of waiting for "better times" and Jobs, are planning to forsake modern civilization and live like early Canadians lived.

(UP) A new turn In the Soviet official atltude toward lit erature, away from purely pro pagan -dlstlo works glorifying communism, and back to the Russian classical au thors. Is strikingly apparent these days. This trend has been under way for several years, but of late It la much more pronounced. With official encouragement Soviet literary circle recently commemorat ed the 25th anniversary of Leo Tol stoy's death. A nation-wide tribute ta Alexander Pushkin la being plan ned for his centenary, January 37, 1937. Commissar of War Klementl Voro sbilov will head the commission of high government officials appointed by the All-Unlon central executive committee to popularize among both adult workers and school children the writ lings of "Russia's Shakespeare" as Pushkin has been called. Pushkin hardly ranks as a revolu tionary author, although he was sympathetic with the "Decabrlsts" who, In 1825, atempted a futile revo lution against Tsarist power. But the adulation he Is now receiving from the bolsheviks Is based not so much on his political beliefs aa on a desire to honor a Russian man of letters who wrote some of the great est poema and plays In their na tional literature, The commemoration of Pushkin's death will be on a national scale. The Leningrad Union of Archi tects hss appointed a commission to restore many of the spots connected with Pushkin's life in the village of Mlkhallovsk. nearby. The grove on tha bank of the Black Rivulet where the poet lost his life In a duel Is to be restored and a email summer house In the style of Pushkin's period will be built hard by it. The State Muslo Publishing house plana to Issue several songs, to which poems by Pushkin will be adapted, to be sung by school children. Michael Bulgakov, one of the moat talented Soviet playwrights, la at work on a play about Pushkin. The poet himself will not be one of the characters, as Bulgakov explains that "the writer la not born who could convey the genius of Pushkin." Bus his presence will be felt through characters who were his intimates. BUCKINOHAM'b ice Cream. Candy and Party Specials. The Crest, J30 So. Centre! . SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.
