Navajo Indian Dance
Will Call Attention
To Need for Water
Window Rocks Ariz. (U.R
The Navajo Indians, America's
largest tribe, will perform their
sacred .war dance for the first
time in nearly 90 years to dram
atize their fight for .water sup
plies. .
Upon orders of the tribal
council, the dance will be con
ducted Jan. 24 at Window Rock,
administrative center of the 15,-000,000-acre
Jfavajo reservation,
which is larger than the state
of West Virginia. , .
, More than 2000 warriors and
drummers in full ceremonial
' dress will participate. The war
dance has not been performed
for any purpose since the Nav
ajos signed a peace treaty with
" the United States in 1868. . .
Reason for Dane .
The Indians say they are re
viving the war dance to call at
tention of the nation, and par
ticularly Congress, to the con
troversial Upper Colorado river
storage project, which the Nava
jos support. . " :.
The multi:million dollar proj
ect includes construction of a
dam on the Sari Juan river, a
tributary of " the Colorado. It
would . be known as Navajo
Dam, and would be built near
four corners, where, the state
lines of Utah, Arizona, Colorado
and New Mexico intersect. -
Such development of the Up
per Colorado Basin is opposed
by some interests in California,
on the down stream reaches of
the Colorado.
Sam 'Akeah,. chairman of the
Navajo tribal council, said the
performance of the war dance
was designed f.o "show our de
termination to defend" waters
which the. Navajos believe are
theirs.
'A Warning to All'
"We mean this to be warning
to all those who are opposing
this project for real or fancied
reasons," he said, "This water
is vital to our future, and we're
ready to do anything possible to
protect it." 1 ,
The standard of living among
the 75,000 Jndians on the Navajo
reservation is about the lowest
in the country. The individual
annual income ; averages. -' less
than $500. An estimated 16,000 I
Navajo children are unable to
attend school because of , eco
nomic difficulty.
Akeah said construction of the
Navajo Dam would directly
benefit at least 15,600 members
of the "tribe through irrigation
of 125,000 acres of now desolate
Navajo land. All other members
of the tribe, and thousands . of
non-whites, would benefit indirectly'-.

News and Notes
From Camp White
- By SID HONLLINGS WORTH
Henry Medley served in the
Philippines under Gen. Arthur
MacArthur, who later became
governor general of the islands.
He happened to be going
through some of his papers and
souvenirs not long ago and came
across a photograph of the gen
eral, which he had carried with
him all those years. - - .
. The r picture of the stern
countenance and the military
bearing awakened a number of
recollections, both past and
more recent, when his' distin
guished son, Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur, was in command not
only of the Philippines but the
whole Pacific war theater.
"I think I'll send this picture
'to General MacArthur," he
mused. And he did, receiving an
acknowledgment in a letter
signed by Douglas MacArthur
personally.
"I was a little timid about
sending it," he said. And he had
good reason for his hesitancy -be
cause he was aware, as only a J
soldier who served under Gen.
Arthur MacArthur could be,
that father and son were tem
peramentally as far apart as
the poles.
"No two men could have been
more different and wear the uni-

which distinguished 'Douglas
MacArthur in the field.
Rabbi Philip. Kleinman, .Port
land, was here for a brief visit
last. week. He ' arrived -just as
Chaplain Arnold Boedjng was
leaving and onjy had time to
exchange greetings. He has just
returned from a trip to Europe
and the Mediterranean coun
tries, and reported that the new
state of Israel is flourishing.
Rabbi Kleinman was particular
ly impressed with the ; develop
ment of agricultural communi
ties in the new Jewish home
land. ' ' 1 ':'
Ira ' Townsend was asked:
"What was the tightest spot you
met as a pitcher1 in-professional
baseball?" fi.
Ira thought for a moment and
then : related an experience in
minor league ball toward , the
end of his career. ; : .
"We were leading 1 to'O in the
ninth inning with two out and
two men on base and the cleanup
batter, a left handed hitter, up.
I managed to get a 3 and 2 count
on him and was trying to figure
whether to walk him or pitch
to him. I-knew just -where he
liked them but I was getting
tired and just threw a fast ball
at him giving it all I had.
"The ball cut right across the
plate where he would ordinarily
have driven it out ofthe lot, but
he struck out. He expected me
to walk him and was surprised
when 'I grooved the ball for. him
to hit. As he passed me. on the
field he congratulated me for
outsmarting' him. He didn't
known 'that I was as surprised
as he was when the ball cut
across the plate." . v
Wet weather was more of a
nuisance - than the much pub
licized smog of Los Angeles dur
ing the visit of Dr. and Mrs.
William E. White in that area.
"We had rain, but the smog sit
uation doesn't seem any differ
ent now than it has been," Dr.
White declared. "Over in the,
southern part of the city where
the - refineries are located the
smog is bad but it . is hardly
noticable in west Los Angeles."

Equipment To Contact Flying Saucers
Possible, Chicago Scientists
Chicago (U.R) Want to. talk
to the fellows aboard those fly
ing saucers. . , : ' " . ..
For $25 each, you' can build
a transmitter and a receiver "to
contact saucers, say three Chi
cago electronics experts.: Of
course, you may not understand
a word the saucermen say. Per
haps that's just as well.
. The three engineers' say they
have received .weird .messages
which they, believe came from
saucers. John Otto, a patent en
gineer who heads : the group,
played a tape recording of one
such message. It certaily sounded
out of this world. "
Based on Light Beams
Otto and his associates, Myron
Anthony and Al Williams, have
developed a device based on tLe
principle that infra-red light
beams, or for that matter any
ordinary , beam of light, can be
used to transmit and receive
audible messages. r
They : - have picked . up a
strange sort of code, similar in
some , respects to morse codes.
They have not been able to de
cipher it.; - -
Williams said he " also has
heard voice messages in a sylla
bic tongue: . '
Williams said some of the
voice messages he heard seem
to come "in chorus" with many
voices - saying i the same thing.
Some were guttural,- he report
ed, and some higher pitched,
as if feminine. -- -
All three men believe in fly
ing saucers." In this they differ
from the -Air Force "which in
sists it has no . real evidence to
indicate any space ships are ex
ploring the world. ,
Can Build Transmitter
Anthony said a ; transmitter
could be built consisting of a
microphone and an audio-amplifier
which varies the intensity of
a light beam from an ordinary
tungsten lamp.
The receiver consists of a

Mothers-In-Law
How are you getting, along
with , your mother-in-law? Are
you familiar with Morgan Dem-
ing's educational work titled
"How to Handle 'a Mother-in-
law? In this, .Morgan refers, to
the various types of mothers-in-
law described , by the eminent
psychiatrist, Bertrand Fraham.
These are: 1. The possessive
type. They say "my Jim" or "my
Nancy." 2.' Chip on the shoulder
type. Continually: complians of
neglect. 3. The visiting type. Al
ways dropping in without warn
ing. 4. The perpetual juvenile.
Doesn't care for people of her
own age. Likes - to be around
young people. - 5. The chronic
executive. The "mother knows
best" type. !

Asking ' '
Queries from clients. Q. Have
blondes more . sex appeal than
brunettes?. A." Our experts say
sex appeal is not a matter of
hair coloring. However,' accord
ing to men of experience bru
ettes love more cleverly and in
tensely than blondes. Q. My hus
band says Nora Bayes was mar
ried to an undertaker. I ; say
she was the wife of Jack Nor

Horses And Women
; Young women with gray
green eyes make the best secre
taries. Brdwh-eyed girls are the
least efficient in that position.
Not because they lack intelli
gence but:sbecause if they are
single they , are always looking
around for or thinking of matri
monial prospects. If they are
married they aire always worry
ing about their husbands. Mar
ried women are more efficient
as secretaries than bachelorettes.
The best secretaries are . tall,
gray-green - eyed brunettes of
Scotch-Irish descent-: who. have
been married at least three
years. Or so the research of our
Horses & Women Department
experts indicates.

Still frequently used is the
quotation: , "Nero fiddled - while
Rome ' burned." The -rviolin
hadn't " been invented in Nero's
day.Nero played a zither while
Rome burned .:. What's your
lucky number, if any? Gabrielle
Chanel,"T Paris dressmaker and
perfume manufacturer, believes
her lucky number is five. She
holds her showings on the fifth
of May. "That is the fifth" day,
fifth month. When she went into
the perfume business she named
her first product Chanel No. 5.
She certainly has been lucky
with that.
Students To Prepare
Report on Lumbering
Ashland Harold Schneider
man, a junior at Southern Ore
gon college and . a pre-business
administration major, has been
elected chairman: of a research
group to prepare a report on the
lumbering industry in Ashland
and the neighboring' community.
Members of the group in De
Wayne B. Johnson's journalism
class are to prepare a newspaper,
report on all phases of the
lumbering industry from logging
in the woods ' to the transporta
tion of finished manufactured
products. The purpose ;:of ' the
study is to give members of the

SOC Enrollment Up
Over Total in 1954
Ashland Enrollment reports
at the end of the first week of
the winter quarter at Southern
Oregon College indicate that
the number of. students in j the
college continues , to be r about
23 per cent more than a similar
period last. year. ' ; ' - -7
. At the end of the first week
of j the quarter the total enroll
ment was 682 students, 395 men
and 287 women.
Registrar Mabel W. Winston
said that the greatest percentage
increases .were in the 'junior
class and among teacher educa
tion, students. These increases,
she said, could be partially . at
tributed to the new secondary
teacher training curriculum at
the college, and increased oppor
tunities for students to major in
general studies programs. A
total of 164 veterans are among
the current students. '
