Gently been caused among the
worlds anthropologists by +. P.
Armitage's book which presents the
theory that racial characteristics
are determined by the diet
consumed over many generations.
Armitage claims that racial pig
mentation or coloring is controlled
by the amount Of salt habitually
consumed with food. His theory is
that the dark races could bleach
themselves considerably by eating
more salt for many generations,
And SO on, AImitage arguing
that all the physical characteristics
peculiar to the various races and ma
tionalities, are the result of ances-
tors diet.
If he's right, the eventual alb
sence of alcohol from the Ameri-
can diet may work some startling
changes in our descendants ap-

THE HUMAN

Pas, Monitoba, Canada. He wan

least 100 miles Of wilderness, nev.

found rescued by party of hunt
ers.
During the II days, he had to
fight nature face-to-face to keep
alive, for when he got lost had
neither food nor SUPPLIES of any
kind--not even a pocket knife.
He made bow-and-arrow
killed enough game to keep alive.
Now, the bow-andarrow is obsolete
with the Indians of this lads tribe,
except as pleythings, the high-pow.
cred rifle having taken its place.
But if he hadn't known how to-
make a bow-and-arrow outfit, he'd
have persisted. knowledge often
seems worthless-until emergency.
That's what knowledge is really
for, after all--emergency. The
more education, the better.

body's powers of endurance: In

May | take this means of pre-

District No. 100, (Cloverton

ton? Let it be understood from
the outset, that have no person
al AXE to grind, having accept
ed work elsewhere for the COM
ing year it matters little to me
whether or not such a change. is
made here.
An independent school district
organization would be a distinct
advantage to the taxpayers of
this vicinity. 1t would mean first
of all: Closer relationship and
responsibility between school
board and community. In fact,
that is exactly the purpose which
the independent organization is
intended to accomplish. This
unit provides for a school board
of six (6) members, instead of
three. Two (2) members, in
stead of one, would be elected at
each annual meeting. A quorum
of four (4) members, instead of
two, would be necessary before
the board could transact business
legally. The taxpayers may re-
serve the right to levy the tax,
