mouth of a. canyon in the blue

laden with red and golden fruit.
Spanish. Americans, "Anglos,"

The controversy over Ramu
started six years ago, at the time
when 4 million Indians crushed
into •the northern city of Luck-
now for a fair. The wriggling of
a large, dirty cloth bundle in a
• corner of the rail depot attracted
the attention of passengers, and
wben,police opened the bundle
they found a 9-year-old boy who
crawled on all fours and could
not speak. Running a high fever,
the boy was believed to have
been abandoned by a Hindu beg-
gar who had planned to use ,him
to- attract the pity of fairgoers;
'Such' a beggar had been seen in
the' vicinity.
The boy •was taken -to Balram-
pur Hospital Lucknow, and
there there he has stayed ever since as
a ward of the state' government,.
and as a prime concern of the
hospital's medical superintend-
ent, Dr. Dev Narayan Sharma.
Dr,. Sharma . is one who believes
that Ramu is a wolf-boy. "Ra-
mu's behavior at the hospital
gave us the• firneiMpression that
wolves had reared him," he in-
sisted in an interview last
month.
For one thing, Ramu could
not walk, and 'his body was cov-
ered with what Indians • recog-
nize as "jungle scars." He howled
like a wolf, lapped milk like an
animal, and when given his fav-
orite food of raw meat he gulp-

and I felt the apple expedition
was complete,
When I reached home, I placed
a wooden bowl of golden apples
on the indented shelf of the cor-
ner fireplace, under the new rist-
xa of flame-colored. chilis. I
thought of the apple orchard Old
Jim Young planted at the mouth
of Cochiti Canyon. Eight hand-
red years ago Cochiti Indiaree,
lived on top of the great blue
mesa which terms the west wall
of the canyon, The ruins of that
ancient village now belong to
Old Jim, Long before the Span-
ish settled here in the early 16th
century, the Indians had moved
down along the Rio Grande
where they now live. With the
coming of the Spanish many bat-
ties were fought in the valley
where the apples grow Quanti-
ties of Indian arrowheads were
found when the soil was plowed
for planting the first trees.
Later, if snows do not block
our way, we will take the long
jaunt to. Jemez Pueblo for their
great Corn Dance. We will
journey through a vast, sparsely
inhabited valley bounded by
ruler-straight blue, mesa-tops and
by distant snow-dabbled moun-
tains. We will find the Jemez
people celebrating their • great
dance of Thanksgiving, for crops
garnered and safely in storage
for the long winter. All over the
place will stalk hundreds ef
visiting Navajos.
Last year I bought in Jemez
the second cluster of Indian corn
I use to, hang on the right-hand
side of my fireplace. Indian corn
outlasts Spanish chilis and "Ang-•
lo" apples by many years, These
five long ears, two of blue corn,
two of white splotched with pur-
ple and one of red, all held to-
gether by their bent-back husks
braided together, represent five
of the Indians' cardinal direc-
tions. They are north, south, east
and west and up. They have a
sixth direction, down. It is char-
acteristic of their philosophy that
they do not represent that sixth
direction.
As I muse over the symbols of
three peoples' thinking, before
my corner fireplace, I remember
that the "Anglo" apples are the
first to disappear, that Spanish
chilis last only until another sea-
son, but that Indian corn remains
colorful and intact almost in-
defnitely.
I remember that Indians, shake-
their heads at the white, man's
hurry and anxieties. Just a few
weeks ago, Taos Indians were in-
vited to attend a meeting in Taos
town. There was to be a. talk on
preparedness for nuclear war-
fare. No one really expected the
Indians to come. To the amaze-
ment of the "Anglo" and. Span-.
ish town people e the Governor of
the pueblo and the entire Trib-
al Council filed into the public
meeting. With blankets wrapped
and with hair braided they lis-
tened intently to talk of possible
shelters from the white man's
bombs.
At last, one Council member
remarked casually, "Long, long
ago, our ancients pass down a
saying to us that someday some-
thing will come out of the sky to
destroy the land, the animals.
and the plants."
Would the Indians construct
shelters against nuclear warfare,
the preparedness spokesman ask-
ed.
Yes, they would construct shel-
ters, the Indians answered. But
not, I am quite certain, this win-
ter. Winter is, as all good Indians
knew, "The time for keeping
quiet." — By Dorothy A Pills-
bury in the Christian Science
Monitor.

`is a variation, using a lemon

use in making the crust, cutting
the grated rind of 1 lemon. into
the lard; use the juice of 1 lemon,
diluted with water for the liquid
you need in your crust.

The apple is most commonly
associated with a favorite des-
sert, apple pie. But actually its
possibilities are limitless. When
the masculine portion of the
family begins to feel the strain
on the belt from too much
"double-crusting," one can try
many variations less rich but
as satisfying in eye appeal and
certainly as tempting to taste
and smell, writes Esther Benison
in the Christian Science Monitor,
There are crisps, crunches,
cobblers, cakes, and muffins, as
well as puddings and just plain
baked apples, with or without
a dumpling. My favorite crisp
recipe is one which can be used
equally well with several differ-•
ent fruits. Simply by adjusting
flavoring, amounts of sugar, or
thickening, one may achieve a
culinary masterpiece with the
same basic recipe.

One of the greatest variations
in pumpkin pie recipes is in the
spices used. Some recipes call
for 1/4 teaspoon each of cinna-
mon, nutmeg, and ginger; an-
other calls for 1/4 'teaspoon each
of cinnamon, allspice, and mace;
another calls for 1/2 teaspoon
each, cloves, allspice, nutmeg,
and. ginger. Just use your own
judgment and sense of taste in
making your punipkin filling,
seasoned the way your family
wants it. Here is a recipe for
pumpkin pie with several pos-
sible toppings to vary it ftom
the plain one—although some
people definitely prefer the old-
fashioned plain pumpkin pie.
SPICY PUMPKIN PIE
1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell,
chilled
2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons flour

firmly packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
Melt butter and stir it into
the pumpkin. Add spices. Beat
eggs until light and frothy. Stir
flour, sugars, salt, and milk into
the beaten eggs, Combine the
2 mixtures. Pour this filling into
the unbaked pie shell. Bake 15
minutes at 450° F,, then 45 min
utes at 375' F., or until the tip
of a silver knife inserted in
