Linking Ca0Pda-U ,S.
,Approved By Senate
SENATOR REED
--contra: Press Cansclian
The Senate's transport committee
at OttaWa approved incorporation
of three new pipeline companies
seeking to tap the oil fields of Al-
berta after a verbal battle in which
Senator Tom Reid (L., B.C.),,
walked out during consideration of
a bill incorporating the Border
Pipeline Corp. Senator Reid was
among a block of senators bitterly
opposing incorporation of the com-
pany because the line would fol-
low a U.S. route to Vancouver from
the Edmonton area. Two other
bills passed included a $78,000,000
all-Canadian pipeline from Alberta
through the Yellowhead Pass In the
Rockies to Vancouver and a pro-
posed gas line from southeastern
Alberta to link with an American
line at the Montana border, 36
miles away.
Half of the Navajo children do not
get beyond the second grade.
Not all that the Navajos need to
he taught, though, can be learned in
schools, They need to learn the
Christian way of living, and they
need to learn by seeing it acted out.
When Christians prove that their
way of living is good, the Navajos
are ready to try it, too, just as they
are trying the new medicine, seeing
that it is better than the old,

Becoming a Reality
.01 At.
The opportunity to secure a
beautiful site for a golf course has been seized. It
is one and one-half miles from Wingham,, on the
banks of the Maitland. The low purchase price
of the property will enable Wingham to have
its long needed GOLF COURSE at much below
the usual cost.
Most Western Ontario towns
have their golf courses. So can Wingham — if
we all pull together for the community.
Approximately $10,000 — a
pre = inflation figure will do the job, expended
as follows :
60 acres, with house $1900
Equipment $2600
Greens = seed, fertilizer, etc. $1200
Piping and pump $1300

On the Navajo reservation, He has a

Plastered with mud. It is called a

The Navajos.
Chee is proud of his tribe too. The
Navajos are the largest Indian tribe
in North America, When the Span-
iards first came exploring the South-
west, they found the Navajos there,
a wandering, warlike tribe, When the
Spaniards built towns the Navajos
made raids on them and stole live-
stock, especially horses and sheep.
.They learned hew to handle horses.
and beearne fan1014 riders,
Later the pioneera took over the
West and the Navajos made plenty of
trouble for them, too. But finally
about seventy-five years ago the
chiefs gave up fighting, Then the
United States government set aside
large section of land in northwestern
New Mexico and northeastern AO
Zona and told the Navajos they could
live there. This piece of land is called
a "reservation," Today most Indian
tribes in America live on reserva-
tions in the various states,
Navajo Country
The Navajo reservation lies in des-
ert country, wnero there is not
enough water for farming. The skies
above it are beautiful both day and
night, and every sunset is worth re-
membering. It has many flat-topped
hills called mesas, covered with short
grass, sagebrush, and other shrubs,
and a few kinds of wild flowers,
Scraggly celar trees grow there too,
and pinon trees, Navajos 'find many
uses for the desert trees and plants,
The pinon nuts make good fetid dur-
the winter; the sage provides medi,
tine; yucca root gives suds for wash-
ing blankets and for shampoos.

In the true story of "The Race for
the Iron Lung," which you will hear
on the radio program All Aboard for
Adventure, on CKNX, Sunday, May
20th., at 12:15, the little girl, DazBah,
was taken to the Presbyterian Mis-
sion hospital at Ganado, Arizona. It
was the only way to save her life. If
the hospital had not been there, a
medicine man would have been asked
to attend her.
The old Navajo way of curing sick
persons is to hold what is called a
"sing." Hundreds of people will come
to a "sing," camping near the hogan
of the sick person and cooking their
meals over little fires on the ground.
The sick person's family has to furn-
ish most of the food, and pay the
medicine man besides.
The medicine man makes a picture
on the floor of the hogan by sprink-
ling colored sands in careful patterns.
The patient is placed on the center
of the painting while the medicine
man treats him in special ways. Fires
are built outside the hoga,n around
which different groups of men dance
"If Ye Love Me, Keep My Command-
ments" was delivered by Rev. R. A.

rgi- It has been hard for the Indians to
▪ get used to new methods of curing
in the sick. But when it was plain to
WI see that patients got well much fas-
= ter at the hospital than after "sings,"
11-21 the Navajos began to wonder about
172 their old ways, And they began to
o yd' think that' if the white doctor's medi-
4 eine -WaS. raeateelea
was good, too, With the Indians,
PA medicine and religion are all mixed
N up-as indeed they should be. More
IO and more, people began to find out
about the "Jesus way." Some of them
began to live it. The following children were ban-
k "How Do We Eat?" tized: John Robert, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Ross Turvey; Richard Howard • Though the Navajo country may be
ki Allan, son of Mr, and Mrs. Elmer
pleasant to look at, it does not furn-
ish a good living. There is not enough Sellers; Ruth Anne and Gladys Elea-
= pasture and water for the flocks of
33, sheep. Often it is hard for the Ind-
• tans to get enough food.
4 Many, Navajos would like to. do = something now besides tending sheep,
weaving rugs, and hammering out
B silver jewelry. Already some of them
re'l have become carpenters, shopmen,
Pi teachers and nurses. In the army
fal many young men learned engineer-
ing, radio, truck driving and airplane
flying: Some of them will want to
• keep on doing those things. The l\Ta-
q vajos want better roads, better hous-
WI: es and better schools on the reserve-
1A
i Hon. They want more churches, They
would like some day to do away with 114 the reserva'ion plan itself, though
they know that it cannot he d(mi , in
a hurry.

come without schooling for all Na-
