Navajo Indians live in hogans
made of mud, grass and twigs. The
squawS make blankets out of the
wool that the men shear from the
sheep. They make baskets and pot
terry.
Navajo Indians are very super

always leave an opening so the
evil spirit can come out.
When couples marry, the mother
cooks corn meal and puts it in
a flat basket. She puts a red
line through it and blue one.
The mother eats one part, the
bride eats one, and the bridegroom
one. The fourth part is for the
evil spirit. When the meal is
eaten they are married.-Bill Jim

the other evening. He was dane

partner by the arm and starts to
pull her hair. Jimmy looked
round kinda abashed, hoping no
one was looking probably no one
was). Anyway, don't blame jim
my, cause he can't help it if his
irresistible charms affect the girls
that way. There was a keen
artist at the dance, drawing pro-

time to look for it is when he's

the sleeve of his coat practically
