indians Trounce
Waller Panthors
Here 4428
by Jason Devereaux, Jr.)

After an array Of disappoint-
ing losses, Browning Indians
came back to vindicate them
selves by winning from the VAL
Ter Panthors "a to % here last
Friday evening.
Instead of one high-point man
there were two-Croff and Old
Person. Both made II points.
The Indians were out for
blood. In fact, it was somewhat
of grudge affair on the part of
the Indians. In a previous game
with the Panthors on their home
floor, the Indians lost by eight
points.
The Indians in the first quar-
ter were not pressed by their
opponents, who yielded to the In
dams, II to 6. At such a score
the Panthors became awakened.
Yet despite the best they could
do in the half, the Indians were
ahead 81 to IL.
1t may be said for the Panth-
ors that they pulled neat tricks
out of the bag. Yet it only made
the Indians step on the gas"
The Indians were simply too
good for them. At the end of
the third quarter the score had
advanced in the Indians favor
28-18.
In the last quarter the Indians
gave vent to all they had-and it
was mighty considerable. They
were really hot" and before
they cooled off had made baskets
from every point. In the last
few minutes of the game the In
dians played cat and mouse"
with the Panthors. This anger
ed the Panthors.

Production OF
Grain This Year
AT An-ti1ne High
by K. G. Slaugh, Agricultural
Extension Service Supervisory

by K. G. Slaugh, Agricultural
Extension Service Supervisory
Grain production on the Black
feet Reservation this year hit an
all-time high, the yield totaling
239, 0O2 bushels. according to an
intensive survey of farming &C.
Invites of members of the tribe
and those associated wit h it
through marriage.
Nearest production record, pre-
vious annual surveys show, was
in 1947, with a vi e d of l27. 63l
bushels.
Modern machinery, high prices
and favorable growing seasons
have contributed to h e success
of grain growers. obviously the
factors of better equipment and
favorable W e a t h e r enabling
greater exploitation the soil.
In 1914 our total production of
grain was 1890 bushels. The
following year it was 80, 859 bush
els and in 1916. 9s,6 bushels.
Thus, the increase from 1914 to
this year was 239, 0O2 bushels, or
nearly 1000 per cent.
During the last several years
of increasing production, there
has been a rather logical as we'll
as interesting development taking
place on the Blackfeet Reserva-
ton. While our production of
grain has been increasing rapidly,
that of flax and mustard has been
decreasing at about the same
ratio. This is obvious as we'll as to
be expected.
While prices are h g h on all
crops, farmers are going TO raise
more and more of the less spec
ulative crops. Wheat is a fairly
safe crop in this country, while
that of mustard and flax, due to
the h ort growing seasons, is
comparatively more risky. There
may come a time again when risk
in the more speculative crops of
the present will appeal to farm
ers. In the meantime our Indian
farmers will be continuing their
good job at grain growing, which
will be enhanced by improved
equipment and t h "always-to-
be-hoped-for" favorable weather.

Elk Wont Risk
Border Gunfire
To Reach Feed

Practically no elk appear to be
venturing down from Glacier
National Park in quest of feed
on the Blackfeet Reservation,
according to Francis X. Guardi-
pee, retired member of the Park
Service, who returned from a
several days hunting trip in the
st. Mary's area Tuesday. He
said he saw no signs of elk dur
ing his empty quest.
There are a considerable num-
Der of Indian hunters in that area
at the present time, he said.
Poised at the Reservation border
for the elk kill" they are dis
couraging animals from attempt
ing to Craze on the Reservation.
Dearth of feed in the park areas
at this time Of the year impels
elk to migrate to lower levels to
solve their hunger problem.
The annual elk census, which
was taken recently by the Park
Service, placed the number at
about 400.
Members of the Black eet
Tribe often have lamented fail
ure of various Tribal Councils of
the past to esteblis a game hunt
ing policy that would stop the
'hogging' of the game supply by
a small group. Under early Tri-
bal jurisdiction, older Blackfeet
point out, the welfare of all men,
bers as it had to do with the sup
ply of game was uppermost. Too
often these days, they contend,
tribal survival is of little con-
Germ, in its place being the phil
osophy of selfishness-everyone
for himself and the devil take
the hindmost.

man of Reservation Chapter,
American Red Cross.
Engag i by the Red Cross
Chapter and the Blackfeet Tribal
Council to carry on a field invest
igation of the situation early this
year, Pambrun said that his find
ings showed a healthier economic
situation would exist if in other
seasons of the year a community
work project could be carried out
as to make some of the present
needy more responsible for their
share of food and clothing. This,
he said, applied to younger men,
bers of the tribe. The necessities
of elderly Indians, he pointed
out, was a problem others must
fathom.
Over h a | f of the Reservation
population, he said, was in need
at the present time. Some were
actually destitute and without the
present relief project m i g h t
starve. Even with the $50, 900 ap-
preparation for relief made avail
able by the Tribal Council, which
will fall short of financial require
ments before the winter is over,
he said, skimp allowance must
be made.
Naturally, the result is t h a t
the health condition of t h less
robust is not of the best, especi-
ally in cases where families in
clude children of younger age.
Whatever assistance a ny in
dividual of substantial financial
ability could render in connection
with the organized relief work,
he assured. would be most well
come.

BUENOS AIRRES. July 5

BUENOS AIRRES, July 5 -
esterday was a proud day for all
Filipinos residing in this metro
polls. 1t was the third anniversary
OF the proclamation of the Repub-
lie of the Philippines and the event
was fittingly observed for the first
time in Argentina.
In a message broadcast by Radio
FL Mundo, Philippine Minister Mar
else Ramos spoke of the Filipino
peoples determination to uhoid
their democratic way of life and TO
contribute their full share toward
the reservation of freedom and the
establishment of an enduring peace
among all nations.
Many expressions of goodwill
and cordial wishes for the welfare
and prosperity of the Philippine ma
ton were conveyed to Minister
Ramos, including those from Presi-
dent Peron and Foreign Minister
Braruglia. In a July Fourth mes
sage, United States Ambassador
James Bruce called attention to
the "close ties and deep affection
which have always bound the PEG
pie of our nation and those of the
Philippines" Added he: 1T is a
source of considerable satisfaction
TO know that we now share July
Fourth with one of the newest ma
tons in the world, the Republic of
the Philippines
In the evening, a reception un-
der the auspices of the Philippine
Legation was held at the Alvear
Palace Hotel Minister and Mrs
Ramos received the entire Filipino
community, high Argentine Off
cials, the diplomatic corps, and
American and Spanish friends. A
short program featured by Philip
pine songs and folk dances was
rendered with Philippine Consul
General Escundero acting as mast
er of ceremonies. In his brief re-
marks, Minister Ramos said the
years of foreign domination are re-
membered in the Philippines, not
with bitterness, but with gratitude
and affection to both the United
States and Spain from which Fit
pinos inherited culture and civiliza-
ton which have enriched their
own.
