Digging For Bones

The recent m a rk ct for
bones has stimulated the opening
up of several old " piskuns or
buffalo kills on the reservation.
Along the steep banks of the Cut
Bank Creek above the boarding
school a number of Indians are
busy digging and have unearthed
great quantities of buffalo bones.
The presence of antlers of various
kinds mixed in with the bones in
dicates that the buffalo were not
the only animals who were run
over these cliffs. The bones in
the Cut Bank Creek region are
found for the most part about two
feet down, and their appearance
as well as the quantity of earth on
top of them would indicate they
are Of great antiquity.
In many cases where these pi.
skuns have been opened I'D in
other locations many artifacs
have been found such as arrow.
heads. scrapers and sometimes
hammers. but very few finds
have been made in these pits
along the Cut Bank. an occa.

To Whom 1t May Concern:

To Whom 1t May Concern:
Several months ago traffic
signs were erected by the Black
feet Agency to the effect that
the maxium speed limit on the
Agency Square was 20 miles per
hour. Stop signs have also been
placed at appropriate locations.
The Agency streets are hard-sur-
faced and it has been noted that
some of the employees and others
have paid DO attention whatever
to the speed limit or the stop
signs. This street is now being
patroiled and Any employee or
others exceeding the speed limit
or disregarding any stop signs
will be warned. and if those who
have been warned persist in vio-
lating the traffic regulation on
the Agency Reserve, the Indians
will be placed in Tribal court for
disposition of their case, and the
whites will be brought before me
for proper disposition. This not
only applies to the employees but
also to others who might violate
these regulations AS all of you

Worst Is Not Yet

The mere actually that Ger
many's blitzkreig against England
has been confined largely to mass
aerial attacks. and that Britain thus
far has been able to resist in a fair
measure OF satisfaction, is no grounds
for undue optimism. For our part
we cannot escape the feeling and the
fear that the worst is yet to come,
and that worst will be bad enough.
Whatever else may be said about
Adolf Hitler. whether you call him 4
mailman or 4 maniac. he certainly is
nobody'S fool: He may not pull
veriZe" the British Isles as he has
promised to do, but it may DIS we'll be
taken for granted that he will come
near to il or die in the attempt.
He knows, his people know and all
the world knows that he has repeat
eddy proclaimed his aims and pur-
poses in that direction. He knows
further and every one knows, too,
that, that with the build-up he has
fashioned for himself, failure will re-
duce his prestige and diminish the
confidence the German people have
in him, and which might mean the
end of Hitler
Talk has been heard all summer
that unless Hitler strikes before the
weather intervenes in Britain's be-
half, he will have lost his advantage
Now, some experts are saying that,
contrary to hitherto-held eXpecta-
tons, the NaziS may pull d genuine
| surprise and strike in the midst of
one of these pea-soIP fogs that soon
will shroud the islands to a density
IN which vision is possible only a few
feet away. 1t is even limited that
Hitler'S specialists have discovered
some sort of light that will penetrate
| the fog. All of that, of course, may
be merely continuation of the wal
of nerves. Only the Germans can
answer that.
AS late as the weekend renewed
assurances have come from Berlin
supporting rawlings of the vocative
Iayda in Rome, that the hour is
near. This, too, could be a part of
the war of nerves.
1t can only be wished that this
were true. But all the argument is
on the side of something new and
something worse, and of greater ano
more startling tragedy. We think il
is safe to assume that Hitler has by
no means as yet pulled all of his rab-
bits out of the bag. The world has
! not seen the worst in the German
determination to destroy Britain.
