Indians of American Plains Known For Effectiveness With Bow, Arrow SEATTLE (UPI) - The In. dians of the American Plains, who slowed the westward-moving pioneers, may not have had the most modern weapons, but they had plenty of firepower in their bows and arrows flaming or otherwise. At least the whites who were contemporary do not seem to have felt that all the odds in weaponry were against the red man. Here is the opinion on the sub ject as published by an Army of ficer's wife in 1868: "Popular opinion has regard ed the Indian bow and arrow as something primitive and well enough for the pursuit of game, but quite useless in a contest with the white man. This idea would be excellent if the Indian warriors would calmly march up in line of battle and risk their masses so armed against others armed with the rifle. But Indian comes as the hornet comes, in clouds or singly, yet never trying to sting until his ascendency is assured and his own exposure is slight. Rapid Fire "At fifty yards a well-sharpen, iron-pointed arrow is dangerous and very sure. A handful drawn from the quiver and discharged successively will make a more rapid fire than that of the re volver, and at very short range will farther penetrate a piece of plank or timber than the ball of an ordinary Colt's Navy pistol . . . "The bows of Ogillalla and Brule Sioux, Arapahoes, Chey ennes. and most of the Indians east of the Rocky Mountains, are form 32 to 40 inches long, of great elasticity and tension, so that they can easily drive an arrow through a two-i n c h plank, and even through a man or buffalo."

In the book, "Indians as the Westerners Saw Them," An dews ignores the story of the period as set down years after wards by professional histor ians. Instead he presents ac counts by early settlers "who had actual contacts with the In dians and wrote down what they saw and thought." This approach corrects some misapprehensions and also adds data in areas not usually cover ed by the historians. An account of Sioux Indians published in the Omaha Bee about 1886 or 1887 discussed the Indians' selection of personal names. Selections Unchaste "One remarkable feature of the Indian nomenclature is that the selections are frequently un chaste and at times shockingly indecent," the report said. "Al though they have instincts of modesty, such as discounten ance of exposure of persons or lewdness of any character, there is no such thing as vul garity in the speech of the In dian. "All themes are open to men tion in the presence of both men and women, and matters on which we would feel the utmost delicacy are freely discussed between them. The propriety of this is insured by the innocence in which custom allows it. The Indian knows nothing of the sa lacious, filthy converse largely common to his more enlightened white brother. "He cannot appreciate the vi cious pleasure excited by a vul gar yarn, for him the subject is matter-of-fact and not under the ban of indecency." SEEKS LICENSE MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.

High Morale in School Creates Efficient Operation; By DAVID NYDICK t'PI Education Specialist Morale has an important ef fect upon a school and its pro gram. High morale creates an attitude which leads to an en thusiastic and efficient opera tion. This is normaly true of any organization. In a school with god morale teachers and students seem to solve problems with a minimum of distrubance. If the morale is poor, minor problems build into major difficulties. r fee-' H - Lk-: w k,,,,,, J L ..,....,., r.,i- SELASSIE AT UN -- His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia, left, is greeted by UN Secretary General Thant as the former arrives at the world organization for lunch eon. The emperor, in New York on an official visit, was given a ticker tape parade along the city's "canyon of steel". (UPI) Morale is complex in that it involves all areas of the school program. It also appears to be contagious. One unhappy group tends to create other unhappy groups. The reverse is also true. Satisfied individuals and groups tend to influence others to feel the same. Components Overlap If this attitude is so important. we should consider its makeup and how it develops. The many components of morale are close ly related and therefore overlap considerably. The students, staff, and par ents should feel that they belong to and are an important part of the organization. In .this way they become personaly respon sible for its successful opera tion. This brings about a pride in themselves and the school. Individuals who know that their opinions are seriously con sidered feel important. They be gin to have respect for their own ability. Others respect them. There is a strong feeling that the quality of the school program is a result of their ef forts. Students can he given the op portunity to participate in a stu dent government or other simi lar activities. Sports also play a major role. In addition, students will be deeply affected by their success in learning. It is only natural to feel good about some thing in which one is sucessful. Must Be Respected Teachers need to feel that they are professionals. Their opinions should be solicited and used. They should take on im portant responsibilities. They must be respected. Parents should be given the chance to plan and be rcspon-1 sible for certain school activi ties. They should become aware of the quality of the school pro gram. They must be convinced that the school is continuously improving and that they play an important role in this growth. In an organization morale is a reflection of the administra tion. The. school principal's ap proach and attitude influences the approach and attitude of teachers. Parents and students will also reflect these attitudes. Morale depends upon felings of individual worth and cooperation. Actually morale is a result of every aspect of the school's ac tivities. They cannot be separat ed. Individuals and the groups to which they belong must fel a sense of accomplishment and pride in themselves, the groups, and the total school. If your schol has warmth and personality, it probably has high morale. kJf A T T MedfordmITribune SECTION B MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1963 PAGES 1 to 8 SAFETY HEAT CONTROL SUMMER AIR CIRCULATION SWITCH COMPLETELY AUTO MATIC ELECTRIC SPARK IGNITION ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT FLOOD THERMOSTATICALLY CONTROLLED ...THE SAFEST FLOOR FURNACE ON THE MARKET .
