Exactly Like The
Whien1Qt1 Does

Tuesdays Tribal election was
quite a success. It was just ex-
actly like white mans election.
Through the campaign and con-
tinuing through the day of vote
casting all the vices and virtues
of the white man were in evil
dence. Promises of giving away
the moon n d stars, duplicity,
generosity, etc. And now the
aftermath-broken hearts and
broken bottles.
For split second Bill Norman,
Browning district candidate,
thought he had success in the
bag, unanimously. That W S
when he voted for himself. He
didn't stop to think that many
m ore voters would be casting
ballots. He was even unmindful
of his wife's vote. It is alleged
she voted against him. Now he
plans to have her investigated.
O, well!
At 9 o'clock on election night,
just three hours after the polls
had closed and considerable of
votes had been counted, a candi-
date, who apparently had slept
through the election, rushed into
h e Chief office to order cam
paign cards. When told that the
big event was all over except the
shouting, he refused to believe it.
Old Rip Van Wrinkle went
through the sa m e experience.
The Browning mans watch ap-
parently had been running back
wards. Such a watch would shift
a fellow back to the Garden of
Eden. Time flies forward, t h i S
man discovered three hours after
the election was over. The bus
couldn't possibly wait for him.
One candidate when ordering
cards from the Chief during the
campaign asked for a fancy and
meaningful slogan. You see, our
printing operation had to be of
lightning speed. We anticipated
the need of vote-getting slogans
by many Of our ambitious GUS
toners. To this candidate we
suggested the words of George
Washington, W 10 said: "I'd
rather do right than be presi-
dent" But maybe people will
vote against me for what Wash
ington said," this cunning candi-
date said in eavy Blackfeet
accent.
Some Of the uneasy candidates
got pretty worried during vote
counting when some one got out
the yarn that the election judges
were throwing out votes because
voters put their X upside-down
in the square.
At the a S general election,
Margaret Yellow Owl contended
that God was a democrat and
that he voted for Truman. We
didn't see Margaret on election
day, but we are told she was up
on the scene and was quite active
in politics. Scanning over the list
of elected candidates, who would
you say God voted for?
During t h e campaign pet
names for old Tribal Council
members and other personnel
administering to the Tribal men,
bers originated. For instance.
Henry Magee, chairman of the
Tribal Council, was called Henry
Come Tomorrow. Tiff Mckay.
treasurer, was call Tiff No
Funds. Pete Vielle, secretary.
was called Pete No Purchase

Thank You Readers
NEW YORK (ANP)- IN OUR
MAIL THIS WEEK were three
letters from Philadelphia that
cheered us materially. Seems that
my recent profile on Bob Allen,
"The Ghost of Bert Williams"
provided good reading and rich re-
search data. tt..
This is the finest way any writ
er can receive the full measure of
his labors. Either thru desired
praise, or inconstructive criticism
that makes for a more. noteworthy
product. While on the subject of
letters, please do not address any
to me to the NAACP local branch
in st. Phillips Church Parish, 215
w. 133rd st. They should be for
warded to 2272 Seventh Ave, N.

By JIMMIE N. JONES

Despite the 1876 defeat Of the
West against the East in the
Herald Senior Hi-School Turkey
Day Classic, the boys Of the West
have nothing to be ashamed of .
In one Of the best games of the
season, the 5000 fans saw no end
of excitement as Dunbar's Fred
Pearl, playing his final game for
the Blue and White Wolverines a.
long with Roosevelt and Fairview
boys who also disregarded their
moleskins for the last time, along
with Charles Sheffield and Don
White playing a great game
throughout the afternoon. . The
passing and catching of passes by
Roosevelt's Bill Frederick and the
Enework of Sheffield was some
thing to look at -. For the East
as was expected; the show was
dominated by the Chaminade
Eagles, with the exception Of Arch
lie Lewis Of Wilbur Wright, who
was sensational both on the Of
tense and the defense for the East
boys who kept the West with
their backs to the wall for the
first half. Allen Stevens, Teddie
back, was kept under cover by
the east who had a lot of respect
for his cunning and elusiveness

and he was bottled up most Of
the time but was responsible for
much Of the ground-gaining of the
West. !.
And now with the gridiron
schedule blowing out of the local
sport picture, next in line is the
basketball season which finds the
"Big Eight" hardwood lads from
Dunbar looking forward to an
other. great season -. Coach
White is silent on the Wolverine
squad so far, but you can bet the
Blue and White will have one of
the best in the City loop and will
be out to annex the championship
when the tournament time rolls
around.
The Jones Brothers are a threat
to the city title in their basketball
aspirations and according to
"Chink" Jones, Owner-C Coach Of
the Morticians, there is no doubt
about the caliber of material he
has lined up for the season being
the best in the state of Ohio. The
$3.50 romp over the Marshal
Brothers last week end gave evil

Morticians and places them in the
ranks of first class attractions any

Also glass screen panels finish up tina

There are no floors in the buildings
but Johnson uses either inches of
peat moss or inches of shavings.
Heavy paper is used on the lower
part of the ends to keep the poults
in each house separate. These brood

Then the time comes to use the
houses for shelters on the range. The
wiring is taken out, the propane pip

The glass screen panels are also
stored and the buildings moved out
to the range. This moving is done
with a specially widened and under
Slung two-whee1 trailer
The shelters are on skids and just
slid onto the trailer for a quick trip
to the new range. Eight poles are
placed across each shelter for roosts
and more are placed from one
shelter 30 the other to give enough
roosting space for all the birds. The
two sets of buildings cost about ST.

The processing plant represents an
investment of about $1,7OO in picking
equipment alone. An electric knife
is used to shock the birds as they are
stuck. Then they are hung on q
hook suspended from a butchers
track which takes them to the
scalder. The scalder rotates the birds
in scalding water for the desired time
automatically. This scalder is heated
by propane gas. Then a rubber fin
gered drum type picker knocks OF
the feathers. Wing feathers are taken
off in another special stripping ma
chine and the birds are hung back
on the hook for hand trimming or
pin feathers. Then to the cooler room

Farmer we know in Sonoma County, Cali
fornia, figured out a way to clean up his
orchard after pruning, and his system should
save you an aching back, considerable time
and lot of labor COSTS He attached an
ordinary buck rake to the front of his
International Diesel crawler tractor. BY driv-
ing between the rows of trees, he was able to
pick up all the pruning brush and dump it
at the orchard edge, all ready for burning
The hydraulic controls on the tractor made it
easy for him to life the rake after the load
had been gathered.
