all. They all became super
natural.
Some Indians believe that these
gods or Great Ones now live
underneath the Sacred Lake -
others merely that they returned
TO the former underground home.
These spirits, called Kachinas by
the Indians, play an important
part in the religious life of every
member of a Pueblo tribe --
where, after all, there is no such
thing as an individual and any
one who takes time out from
the well-ordered communal life
to attend TO any personal whim
is looked upon as a witch.
When the Indians put on their
dance regalia - specially pre-
pared masks, certain skins fea-
theirs or parts OF plants ~ or
paint their bodies in significant
colors, they believe that they
themselves become supernatural.
They, temporarily. become the
Kachinas endowed with mystical
powers.
And here is how that idea
originated.
IL centuries past. so the legend
goes. the Kachinas, who possess
rich clothing, valuable beads and
beautiful feathers and spend all
OF the time in their own world
singing and dancing. used to
visit the Earth People when crop
failures or other troubles had
made them sad The Kachinas
danced and sang and chcered up
All the Indians Sometimes when
the fields were parched and dry
these spirits would bring rain.
But. according to the Zunis.
when the Great Ones went away.
they always took one OF the
tribe with them, and so always
left a little sadness in their
wake.

THEN one day, the Indians at

criticized the visiting Kachinas.
There was a great fight No
longer would the supernaturals

Even so, they didn't make the
punishment too severe or desert
the Earth People entirely
Worthy Indians were instruct
Cd by the Great Ones. They
were taught how TO make masks
and costumes, TO sing the chants
and perform the dances. They
were particularly instructed in
how 20 live good lives and TO
honor and respect the Kachina
In return these supernaturals
promised 20 continue visiting the
earth in spirit but not in their
physical form They assured
the Indians health and prosperity
II only the customs and rituals

And from their teachings 49, so
many modern Indians still be-
leve - sprang the deliberately
costumed Kachina dances which
continue 70 be performed today.

ans are transformed. sometimes
for days. into dancing gods

suggests that perhaps the first
ceremonial costumes in which
the Pueblos worshiped all ma

ans wore - just like a Sunday

casions.
Then when Coronado and his
Spaniards visited the Southwest
seaking The famed Seven Cities
Of Cibola," the simple Pueblos
saw men fully clothed and hop
ing 10 please their gods further
- especially since there had been
thoughts and crop failures 49,
they finally started celebrating
the costumes.
Even today, when there are
plenty of commercial dyes 1872 and
the Indians use these on their
blankets and ordinary clothes --
no ceremonial robe is colored
with them Nature supplies the
dyes and paints from clays,
leaves and berries, just as she
supplies the evergreen which is
a symbol Of life; the yucca, or
soapweed. used for ceremonial
shampoos and baths which dis
charm" the dancers; the gourds
used for rattles, shouts, noses,
beaks and ears, and all the ami
NAL furs and feathers.
THERE are special rituals for
each season Of the year. Not
all Of these are Kachina dances.
Some are simple ceremonies per-
formed by unmasked dancers.
In the Spring the masked
dancers carry out ceremonies of
planting and termination Of
seeds. Summer ceremonies en-

and produce rain. Thanksgiv-

Fire Hazards Loom

Fall and winter are on their
way. Many parts of the countsy
are still enjoying clear, warm
days-but the months of rain and
snow and cold aren't far off.
The winter season brings with
it some of the greatest fire ha-
zards-hazards which are respon-
sible for thousands of deaths and
the destruction of millions of dol
lars worth of property each year.
Yet those hazards can be easily
corrected.
Winter hazard number one is
your heating plant. Before long.
it will be subjected to maximum
load. Any defect. any weakness.
may result in a disastrous fire.
That is true of furnaces, stoves,
fireplaces and everything which
has to do with creating md con-
veying heat. Don't be your own
inspector-thot is not an amat-
eur's joo. Call in a qualified re-
pairman. 1t won't cost much
and it may save a life. home, or
factory.
Another hazard is expos led
electric wiring. Cords fray. and
fixtures get out of whack.
Short days involve heavy use
of light. Here again, a qualified
expert should make all repairs.
And keep a stock of fuses on
hand-the more or less common
act of using a penny to replace a
burned-out fuse is an invitation
to disaster.
Now is the time to get ready
for Winter-not woen it is here
and you most use maximum heat
and light. Do it today.
