Deputies averted a riot at the

An educated Navajo presents
the films at ceremonies and
other Indian gatherings. The
program was started by the gov
eminent to acquaint the Indians
with the advantages OF proper
farming methods, conservation,
better livestock, good health and
need for an education. Current
newsreels accompany the educa-
tional films.
HOWL WITH GLEE
A favorite subject is any de-
picting the Navajos. Great gales
of laughter rise from the audi
ence as soon as the Indian ac-
tors are flashed on the screen.
Rapt attention is given one film
showing a Navajo wedding.
There is absolute silence until
the bride and bridegroom seal
the ceremony by eating corn
meal from the wedding basket.
Then the inexplicable Nava-
JOS howl with laughter far into
the remainder of the show.
