LONDON - At least one traveller

PUBLIC SHARE IN
INDIAN ASSIMILATION

The avOwed objective of the In
dian Service of the Department of
the Interior through the years has
been to work itself out of a job.
Within the last year, the Commit
tees of the Congress which are
concerned with Indian Affairs have
expressed some doubts whether the
controls we're being released rap
idly enough. To reafirm this pol
icy of releasing Indians from Gov
eminent supervision, the Congress
made substantial reductions in
funds appropriated for this fiscal
year for Indian administration at
all levels of the service.
Government management and
leasing of Indian property were
based on the assumption that In
dams lacked the experience to
compete with whites in handling
their own affairs in our economy.
Money from these operations have
remained in restricted status. This
is one of the greatest causes of In
dian resentment at Federal super
vision, and rightly so. It has been
increasingly clear that the Indian
field service has been reluctant,
perhaps because of imposed regu-
lations, to relinQuish control over
funds of individual Indians, as rap
idly as the increasing competence
of Indians should have dictated.
One result of the current cut in
administrative funds has been that
the Department of Interior has had
to withdraw much of the super
vision of individual funds and in
dividual leasing of land that was
formerly exercised by agency off,
Gals. The suddenness of this tran
sitiOn will work to the disadvan-
tage of some Indians, but the
change as a whole is a move in
the right direction.
Wholesale and indiscriminate re-
linquishment of Federal RESPONSE
bilities for the protection of Indian
property rights is not justifable,
however, and would be dangerous
to the Indians. Many critics fail
to discriminate adequately be-
tween those Indians who have pro-
crossed a long way toward assimi-
latiOn, and those like the Navajo,
Apache. and EskimOs who have as
yet had little opportunity for as
sOciatiOn with nOn-Indians.

AFL CHASING RAINBOWs

One OF the strangest moves in
Union Labor circles is led by Will
liam Green, head of A. f. L.. who
has replaced John l.. Lewis as the
foe of the Taft-Hartley labor law.
Green says he expects to raise a
fund of at least $S,0OO,00O for the
purpose of a political drive to un-
seat all members of Congress who
supported the Taft-Hartlev Act
and to elect new members more
favorable to labor. Major efforts
also will be made in those States
which have adopted measures re-
strictive of labor unions.
One unanswered question is
whether the A. F. L. will support
a presidential candidate. The ans
wer probably will not be forth
coming until after the Republicans
and Democrats have nominated
their candidates next summer.
Meanwhile, an A. F. L. leader
said that John L. Lewis, before he
took his United Mine Workers out
of the A. F. L. last month, asked
for the leadership of the political
league as the price OF peace.
The proposal was made after the
October convention of the A. F. L.
when Mr.. Lewis broke openly with
federation leadership. When the
Lewis suggestion met with silence
at A. F. L. headquarters, the min
ers' leader sent the blunt 1--WE dis
affiliate" note to Mr.. Green.
Last week Mr.. Lewis informed
the 100000 U. M. w. members that
the final break with the fedora
ton was caused by the "increas-
ing hostility" toward the union of
the small group" of men who con-
troll the A. F. L.
Mr. Lewis was one of those pri-
marily responsible for the estab-
lishment of the education and po-
litical organization.

DELAWARE SCHOOLS

GET DRIED FRUITS

Nearly IS thousand pounds OF
Dried fruits will be distributed to
Delaware schools participating in
the National School Lunch Pro-
gram, and to welfare institutions
within the State, under ALLEGATIONS
now being made by the U. S. De-

total: peaches, 10000 pounds:
prunes, 25,770 pounds; raisins, g.
$40 pounds.
These dried fruits were acquired
by the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture when unusually large supplies
threatened to cause heavy financial
loss to growers and professors OH
the West Coast
In schools, these dried fruits are
to be used at the rate of one pound
a month for each child, with the
monthly use per child not to ex-
coed One-quarter pound of any one
dried fruit. Institutional use of
dried fruits will be at the rate of
two pounds each month for each
person, with use not to exceed one
half pound a month of any single
dried fruit.
Dittrick points out that these
dried fruits, which have been de-
prived of their moisture, yield sew
eral times their volume when
soaked and cooked. They rate high
in concentrated food value, and
are an especially valuable source OF
minerals.

Delaware s arm
Front

Since the organization of the New
Castle County Artificial Dairy
Breeding Unit in 1912, six sires
used by the unit have been proven.
In summarizing the progress of the
organization at the recent annual
meeting of the county unit, Edward
II. Schabinger, county agricultural
agent, reported to members of the
unit that daughters of these sires
have averaged an increase of 1904
pounds of milk and 60 pounds of
butterfat over their dams. This IN
creased production has meant il
per cent more milk and an increase
Of Is per cent in butterfat.
The Spring planting season is
just around the corner. About three
million tractors with plOws, cult
vatOrs, discs, and planters will
soon be working in fields through
cut the nation to meet the 1948 food
goals. Mr.. Jack F. Bell, extension
agricultural engineer, points out
that the condition and operation of
this equipment will be an impOr-
tant factor in determining the 194S
farm work accident toll. Every
farmer should make preparations
for safe and efficient machinery
operation.
"See that all farm equipment is
thoroughly checked before field
work starts. Defective bitches,
seats, clutches, wheels, brakes,
steering and unguarded gears
chains or chafts mean accidents
can make free reign. Equipment
that does not operate properly is
irritating and fatiguing to the OPP
orator. 1t helps reduce his alert
hess and increases the temptation
TO take chances. Well conditioned
machinery saves time and costly
field bTeakdOwns and makes farm
work easier" according to Mr..
Bell.

+ A wonan's trip from birth to
THE grave is one of varied expert
tenee, some general patterns and
tn1any inconsistencies. &
From the time she is born until
she reaches her 20s she wants ter
ribly to grow up, to be older, and
may even add year or SO to her
age. This is especially true around
her early teen birthdays. Then
when she reaches the age Of 80 she
begins taking years off her true
age. How much more fun she
would have If she forgot age and
enjoyed to the fullest each stage of
life, rather than reaching forward
or back.
When a lady is very young she
will do anything to, get attention,
even if it means throwing a tan
trum. This is one characteristic
which follows her all through life.
At middle age she may pretend that
she is Indifferent to attention but
usually demands it again in old age.
Psychologists tell us that food is
the most important thing in the life
of child up to the age Of 10. Un-
fortunately this avid interest in food
often lasts into middle age, with q
lessening of health and a build up
in pounds.
In, early years q woman Is in
terested in getting a husband, in
maturity in keeping him, and in age
she either feels sure of him or 1t
doesn't matter much anyway. The
blest woman is the one who still
cares and who also feels sure of her
man.
From infancy to age there is
gradual decline in physical and
mental activity. The eager interest
and the reaching out for new ex-
periences and information which
are such a great part Of childhood
are often lost or greatly decreased
in maturity and may simmer out in
age.

prime. This is the time of all times

| life. She has more leisure and
should have mental and emotional
maturity and Judgment and taste
which enable her to derive most
benefit from study and new expert
lence.
Our emotions need exercising just
as our muscles and our minds do. In
order for life to be colorful we
need the stimulation of strong emo
tions. We should fight indifference
as our worst enemy. In order to
Iprovide this zest We must recoup
Our emotional larders with good
music, good books, hobbies, work,
new experiences, new studies, and
by bringing sympathy and apprecia-
ton to everyday. human experience.
