Dr.. Henrietta K. Burton, Head
Of Indian Unit, Talks of Work
Liberation of an
Exploited Group Is
Held Objective
By JESSIE FAINT EVANS.

DR.. Henrietta K. Burton, super
visor of home extension in the
Indian Service, has visited more
Indian homes than perhaps any
other living person.
Interviewed as she prepared to
leave on her 18th annual field trip,
she said: Il am not conscious of
going from one world to another.
This is, in part. because I have
learned to know, like, live with
and work with the Indians just as
do with my white friends. I could
not be especially useful to them,
though, If I failed to realize that
must approach my service to them
with a knowledge of the difference
In the culture Of our two racial
backgrounds"
DR.. Burton thinks the future OF
our Governments relations with the
Indians 'lies in its ability to hber-
ate and reiuvenate this subjugated
and exploited race living in the
midst of an aggressive civilization.
far ahead, materially speaking, Of
its own
This. she believes. can best be
brought about by wise growth and
development in the Indians own
family life and the blending of such
modern techniuues and inventions
as will help with their own culture.
Proud of Their Ancestry.
She declared there is little real
ization of the fact that there are
47O00 Navajos of practically un-
mixed blood and as many more Of
similarly pure lineage among such
groups as the Pimas, Apaches and
others. They are as proud of their
lineage as some of us are of our
Mayfiower ancestry. Neither does
the general public realize that the
stenographic service of our Indian
Service here is ably stated with
young people who are Indians.
Many of them are graduates Of
Western State universities"
DR.. Burton pointed out that there
are 5000 Indian boys and girls in
All CLUBS IN 70 states.
"They have great joy and pride
in the ancient crafts that are being
revived among their people" she
said, land I can sustain my boast
that they have just little better
achievement records than the white
boys and girls in similar districts, =
She praised the aid of the
General Federal ton of Women's
Clubs under Mrs. Sadie Orr Dunbar
in cooperating Indian service week.
Its division of Indian Welfare under
the general Craftsmanship of Mrs.
Harvey w. Wiley has stressed IN
dian home yard care, home i'm
provement, better food budgets and
general health conditions, and has
established visiting committees and
awarded helpful household prizes
as incentives to improve living con-
ditions.
One Big Problem.
! One problem confronting those
dealing with the Indians is the tact
full handling of their racial belief
in the blessedness of sharing. Those
who are the most thrifty and enter
prising are often victimized by their
indolent kinsmen and neighbors who
literally eat them out of house and
home by long, unannounced visits
Many Indians value their leisure
highly" and the problem Is to find

 Also included in the immediate needs Is the amount of $l00000 for scholarships for Connecticut boys.
 In accepting the chairmanship Governor Hurley said he was influ- enced not only by his loyalty to the Academy from which he was gradu- ated in 1915, but "even more because Cheshire Academy Is an outstanding asset of the State"
 Dr. Harold D. Skilton, chairman of the board of trustees of the Acad- eny, traced the history 10 the school, and thanked the Governor for accepting the chairmanship.
 Arthur N. Sheriff, headmaster, expressed the hope that the rebuilt and renewed Academy would mark ct its sesquicentennial, Q milestone not only in the schools history, but also in the history of education"
 The campaign will be officially launched June 6 with dinner ct the Academy.
 Announced at the meeting were the members of the campaign sponsoring committee. including James Rowland Angel, former president of Yale University; Rt. Rye. Frederick c.

bile Workers CcIo) on contract re- visions.
 Picket lines remained at the Chev- rolet, Buick, and Fisher Body No, 2 plants while union local officials expressed dissatisfaction over terms of the settlement at Washington,
 UAW-CIO president, R. J. Thomas, and UAW-CTA secretary treasurer, George Adde's, were in conference with local officers today attempting to persuade them that pickets should be withdrawn. Pic- kets left the Fisher No. plant but remained at the three other plants to await ratification vote by the hank-and-gile on the GM-Union agreement.
 The presence of picket lines con- flicted with an earlier statement by Thomas and local officials that 34,000 workers made idle in the wildcat strikes would return to their jobs "as speedily as possible"
 Fred Richter, chairman of tho Saginaw, Mich, Grey Iron Foundry, said workers would not report for duty at that plant until nearly 100 grievances were settled. It closed late yesterday when union members among it's 4,8O0 employees walked out.
 That decision appeared to en- danger a Union-Company agree- ment which GM president, c. F. Wilson, said was made on the "as- sumption the unauthorized work stoppages would be promptly set- tled". Thomas said he was not familiar with the situation in Sagi- nav.
