Pueblo Indians Dance.

SANTA FE, N. Mex, March 22.-
Mexico heralds the start of many
strange, pagan ceremonials among
the Indians in supplication to their
gods for abundant rain, good plant
ing and a bountiful harvest.
Among the Pueblo Indians many
dances and secret ceremonials are
held in March, dedicated to the mys-
teriouS forces which make seeds
grow. The secret ceremonies are
held within the walls of the kiva for
fear the disbelief of the white man
may nullify the supplication TO the
gods of rain. but the dances are
open to visitors.
On the Navajo calendar. April is
known as the month of soft growth"
"a period Of rain chants and bless
ing chants on the fields. for young
birds and animals, and all new
growth. Many planting ceremonies
take place in this month.
Among the most colorful of Aprils
indian rituals is the chongo race,
which is an ancient version of what
Is popularlv known today as the re-
lay race. The races held at Isleta
Indian Pueblo. II miles south of
Albuquerque, are among the best
known.
Youngsters Initiated.
The ChOngO which takes its name
from the knot of hair worn by the
Indian on the back of his head. has
its start with the boys Of the tribe
usually on the day before the main
race. The Youngsters relay amounts
to an initiation into some Of the
secrets Of the tribe.
For the principal race. teams are
selected from among the men of the
tribe. Amid riot of color and noise,
the opposing teams line up on oppo-
site ends of the plaza and at a given
signal begin the rush to the oppo-
site end.
The race goes on for hours. AS the
winning runner closes in on his op-
ponent he grabs him by the lock of
hair on the back of the head and
pulls him over backwards-thuS the
victor has caught the chongo.
Winners of the race are feted at
night before a great ceremonial fire,
where there is dancing and feasting.
Losers must furnish drumming and
chanting for the dancing, while the
lucky ones trod the ground to the
sound of pagan rhythms.

Farm Labor
Important In
Defense Program

The Importance Of farm la
Dor in the defense program was
stressed this week when John
B. Gilbert, manager of the New
ark Employment Security Cen
ter, in a statement assuring far
mers that every effort is being
made by the Ohio State En-
ployment Service to prevent un-
controlled migration of workers
to defense industry areas.
'"The emphasis thus far in the
defense program has been on
industrial and commercial work.
ers," Manager Gilbert said. But
we must not forget that farm
ers are also defense workers and
that they have a vital part in
this country's preparation for
defense.
"As a part of the nationwide
campaign to create a labor re-
servoir to supply the demands of
defense industries for skilled and
semi-skilled labor, the Ohio State
Employment Service is urging
the registration of every Ohio
worker with an urgently needed
defense skill not being used in
their present job.
'The vital food-producing ac-
tivities of the country must not
be hampered for lack of capable
workers." Manager Gilbert con-
tiued. Whether the rural work.
er can serve best on the farm or
in an industrial job, he should
register with the employment
service if available for work, so
that he can be notified of any
job opening which he is quail
fled to fill"
With the Newark Employment
Security Center serving as the
labor recruiting and supply ag-
ency for this area, uncontrolled
migration and recruitment of
workers can be minimized, Man
ager Gilbert pointed out.
Farm and industrial en-
ployers can cooperate further
by referring to the Newark EN-
ployment Security Center all
job seekers applying to them
personally for work, for whom
they do not have a job at the
present time," Manager Gilbert
concluded.

Motor Trolling
Prohibited On
East Buckeye Lake

The Licking County Farm
ers' and Sportsmen's club has
been fighting for two years
to have motor boat trolling in

efforts were crowned with
success, when the following
telegram was received by the
club, according to Walter O.
Seaney, president of the or
ganization:
"Advise Newark club that

According to advice received
by the club the new ruling will
go into effect Sunday, April
20. The news will be widely
hailed by fishermen who be-
lieve that fishing should re-
main a sport which challenges
the skill of the angler.
Members Of the Licking
County club went on record at
their annual dinner meeting,
Tuesday, April s, in favor of
abolishing motor trolling in
the area designated, by a vote
of 189 to nothing.
1t is felt by members of the
organization that the ruling
is a real victory in the inter

Funds Into Farm
Half of Highway
To Market Roads

The Federal aid portion of the
farm-to-market road improve
ment program of the Ohio De-
partment of highways this year
will total $1,OO9,538-half state
funds and half federal funds.
In making this announcement
in Columbus this week Hal G.
Sours, director of the depart
ment, said that 16 projects are
contemplated, IA of which are
bridges, for a total of 1913 miles.
A minimum of $347, 900 of the
farm-to-market road betterment
program is to be expended on
highways included in the 5000
miles of roads added to the state
system by the legislature in 1885,
and for which the legislators
provided no revenues for i'm
provement.
Those 5000 miles of added
highways, all of the secondary
type and low construction, al
ready have cost Ohio motorists
$20,0OO,00O, Director Sours said.
The fact that a great many
bridges on the state highway
secondary system are outmoded
and of insufficient strength to
stand up under the heavy traf-
fic today makes it necessary
that much of the farm-to-market
road program include replace
ment of these inadequate struc-
lures, Director Sours said.
The remainder of the projects
scheduled under this program
includes approaches to the IA
bridges, and some relocation of
right-of-way to smooth out align

Cooke Street Youth Signs Up With Marines; Sent to
 Paris Island, s. C.

Frederick Thomas McHugh of 325 Cooke street, enlisted in the U. s. Marine Corps Reserve here to- day He Is @ graduate of Crosby high school class of 1889 and was a plastic moulder for the past two years at the Patent Button Coni- pany.
 He journeyed from here to Springfield, Mass. and thence to the Marine Corps training station at the recruit depot, Paris Island South Carolina. Tn becoming re- servist for the duration of the na- tlonal emergency McHugh will en- joy the same pay, promotions and advantages available to men of the regular corps, says Maxwell P. Dick erson, commissioned officer in charge of the local recruiting sta- ton.
 Sgt. Paul Connors, Q. s. Marine Corps recruiting officer from the local recruiting station, will be in the civil service room of the Bristol post office tomorrow from 10 a. m. until 3 p. Yn., for the purpose of in- terviewing young men interested in learning the full particulars con- corning enlistment in the U. s. Ma rine corps.
 Sgt. Connors says that since all young men today are some day go- ing to be called to serve Uncle Sam, they should take into consideration all the services, learn all they can about each branch, and then choose the one service he thinks he will like the best. For young men who do not desire to enlist for a four year cruise, the Marine Corps has an enlistment for the duration of the national emergency in the Ma rine Corps Reserve. This enlist ment is the same in all respects, with the exception of the period of enlistment. The reserve enlistment offers the same pay, promotions and advantages of the regular enlist ment.
 Sgt. Connors will explain at length about the Marine Corps In- stitute, its great variety of courses, free to all marines, and about the numerous trade schools which vary from radio school to motor trans- port school.
