DO. PARCEL POST
 WINDOW OPEN SAT.
 DELIVER PACKAGES

The Juneau public is reminded today by Postmaster Crystal Jenne that the parcel post window in the local postoffice will be open tomor- row from 10 a.m to 5 pm.
 All package mail arriving on the Baranof last Tuesday is on the shelves and ready for delivery. Post master Jenne said her staff wished the people of Juneau a Merry Christmas by working for two nights until late hours to make ready for delivery all mail in the postoffice in plenty of time for Christmas
 The Postmaster called attention to the fact that the postal rate for mailing cards in an unsealed envelope outside the city is two cents. No correspondence may be contained on the cards. A three cent stamp will give the enveloped card first class handling, as letter mail. Envelopes should show re- turn address.
 Recently the postmaster said cards in unsealed envelopes bear ing one cent stamp each and addressed to destinations in the states were dropped in the postof- flee, with no return address show ing. Fortunately for the sender they were traced back. However, the Postmaster pointed out, such for tunate occurrance might not always be the case. In the event cards are mailed bearing insufficient postage and with no return address and the postoffice can find no means Tor Identification of the sender they could not be sent through the mails.

Too Much Drink"
"Queers" Works

Otto Bear Child and compan-

divulge entered the Shurr Ser

around 3 a. m. Tuesday for the
purpose of separating the owner
from some of his property.
They got into the place by
crashing a re a r window glass;
Browsing around in tn e dark.
Bear C h il d accidently knock'al
the telephone off a desk wi TIN
the result that the number rang
at central. Randy Manuel, who
got up to answer what appeared
to be an emergency call, wa S
astonished when no other tina n
Bear Child's voice was on the
line-the voice of a very con-
genial burglar, yet a voice that
bespoke "strong drink"
In a manner of speaking. Bear
Child was quite "swacked."
To do job as it should be done,
the doer must be in his right
mind. He must be sober. This
advice was taken by the Chief
from The Burglars ManuaN.
But to get along wit h the
story
Randy told Bear Child to hold
the phone. that he would be down
there right way. "O-d'K,"
came the reply.
Randy then called Chief Police
Fredrickson. When h officer
got to the scene of burglary, only
Bear Child, quite drunk, was
there. His companion had es-
capped.
Later in the morning B e a r
Child was arra:gned before JUS
tice of the peace Lukin and taken
to Cut B a n k for further legal

Dream On WQy
To Realization

A dream of the people is at this
moment going into the last stages
of realization. Although we no
doubt need a great many things
in our community such as good
streets, more employment, etc.,
general opinion is that first we
need something for our young
people, recreation a n d training
and at the same time something
that would allow our older people
to work together as a community
to accomplish the other things we
need.
In the last few months, years
of wishing went into a discussion
and planning stage at series of
joint WV and American Legion
meetings.
Urged on by civic minded
townspeople, ranchers, clubs and
groups, the two veterans groups
jointly financed the purchasing
of the option on ManuePs Furni-
ture Store, formerly the Colbert
Hall.
When the purchase is completed
the site will be Handicapped and
redecorated Ia sketch will soon be
shown and will be available to
all local and outlying groups and
activities that will to use it, such
as Boy and Girl Scouts, Lions
Club, Women's Club, Civic
Groups, ranchers headquarters,
boxing programs, young peoples
recreation hall and community
meetings, etc.
Between now and August you
will be called on to help, and we
want your help with the d e a
that this is yours.

School Bond
Issue Favored;
Election Valid

AASOS1VAA OAAAS3
After a photo finish" and
with two days intervening be-
fore the ballots could be returned
from outlying districts. it ap-
pears now that the bond issue
for a new high school in Brown
ing was legalized by a sufficient
number of voters, the issue be-
ing overwhelmingly supported.
Gloom pervaded the atmos-
phere at the high school Sunday
and Monday following Saturdays
election. With delivery of the
returns that could be rounded up,
there appeared at first a hope
less deficit in the number of ell
gible persons required to vote on
the issue.
A combination of weather and
impossible roads, together with
misunderstanding as to who was
legally qualified to vote made it
difficult for proponents of the
bond measure to secure the an
ticipated turnout at the polls.
With Babb and Little Badger
the only precincts having not re-
ported, the handicap seemed too
great 10 be overcome. Word was
being broadcast generally that
the measure had been defeated
because of an insufficient number
of voters participating.
On Monday, however, Allan
LeMieux made it in from Babb
with the returns in the north
community, which has always
been very loyal to Browning high
school.
Babb, with AZ eligible voters
had returned 80 votes. The issue
hung still by hair as there was
not even any assurance that the
Little Badger ballots had cotton
through to the polling place or
that three eligible judges could
make it to the school house. On
Tuesday, however, Joe Iron Pipe
fought his way through mud and
snow and deposited a ballot box
with six precious ballots on the
school clerks desk. This raised
the count to the point that made
the difference between success
and failure and a h i g h school
building for Browning doomed
much closer.
As 40 per cent of the vote is
necessary for the election to be
legalized, it can be seen that
fewer than 10 votes made t n
final score for the bond issue.
This slim margin was made more
precarious when two votes were
thrown out as being improperly
marked. The school board will
meet next Tuesday night for an
official canvass a n d. until that
time the exact vote for and
against" cannot be announced,
It has been noted by the judges
in the several precincts, however,
that the vote against the measure
was almost negligible.
In the trustee election in schoo
district 9 Leo Kennerly was elect
ed overwhelmingly for the three
year term as was w. r. McDon
aid for the one year term.

SchQeffer Writes
Scholarly Paper
On Eth,lOlOgy

|
Birdlife with the early Black
feet had a profound meaning, it
being intimately woven into their
culture. Prompted by this fact,
Claude E. Schaeffer, curator of
the Museum of the Plains Indian
at Browning in scholarly paper,
entitled "Ethnology Bird No
menclature a n d Principles of
Avian Taxonomy of the Blackfeet
Indians, which was reprinted in
February in the Journal of the
Washington Academy of Sci
ence," sets forth preliminary
results Of research.
At the outset Mr.. Schaeffer ex-
plains the chronological quest as
follows:
LAS field of inquiry, the re-
Iationships between man and ma
ture in the Northwestern Plains
and the traditional native ideo-
logies built up around its biota
offer much to enrich our under
standing of the resident Indian
cultures. In its study attention is
confined to Blackfeet ornithol-
ogy and, more narrowly, to the
nomenclatorial phase of h a
topic. The rest of the material
collected on the Blackfeet bird
knowledge, including the Geo.
nomic Importance of wildfowl,
methods of taking, birds as pets,
socioceremonial aspects, and the
whole structure of avian folklore,
has been set aside for the pres
entation at a later date"
Admittedly, while Mr.. Schaef-
fer's paper isn't easy reading
for the average layman, it never
theless teens wit h interesting
facts to help reveal t h e early
Blackfeet's attitude towards life
in its relation to birdlife.
r Mr.. Schaeffer sets forth that
totes forming t h e basis of the
aper were collected during the
inter and spring Of 1948-49 from
uthern Piegan sources in and
'out Browning. Most of the
es came from Jim Whitehall,
IS; Richard Sanderville, age
md Wallace Night Gun, age
Yhitecalf was not only versed
2 in native bird lore, but his owner
n ship Of the Beaver Bundle made
, him conversant with ceremonial
2 aspects of the topic. He was &C.
4 quainted with the names of about
n 70 species.
4 Sanderville, as the result of a
3 lifelong interest in Blackfeet
culture and history, had accumu-
, lated a fund of knowledge on the
2 avian (birdl world. He was ia
miliar with the names of about
60 species. Night Guns know
ledge was less extensive. Services
of Weasel Tail, age about 80;
Z Green Grass Bull, age SO, and
Short Face, age 70, were utilized
for information. George B u |
Z Child was interpreter.
Appearing in the paper is list
of 80 Blackfeet names of birds,
( together with interpretative
words and expressions, the scope
( of historical study being enlarged
through collections made over q
( period of more than a century.
( The earliest known data con.
( sisting of less than a dozen terms,
( were gathered by the fur trader,
( Alexander Henry, presumably
( from native sources on the upper
( Saskatchewan River prior to 1911
( Most terms are recognizable by

U. of A. Mining Extension Course Starts March 27

Continued from Page One) students with minerals of known or likely occurrence in the Terri tory. Crystal habits, physical char actcristics such as color, luSter, specific gravity, and cleavage, with simple bloW-pipe and chem ical tests, are studied in labora- tory exercises to develop facility in the recognizable characteristics of the minerals themselves. Some time is devoted to a study of their natural associations, such as min eral groups and rock types, in or der to assist the prospectOr in con fining his search to the more like ly places for deposits of the Vari- OuS minerals.
 The course in geology will cover the fundamentals of physi- cal geology which are directly ap- plicable to the practical problems of the prospectoT. These geologic principles are of prime import ance in the search for minerals as well as in the development of mines. Occurrence of minerals of commercial value are likely in certain rock types and extremely unlikely in others and the reCogni- ton of these types will be ompha- sized. A study of performing pro cesses which will assist the pros pector in his search will also be included.
 The course in prospecting and mining consits of lectures on methods of prospecting and min ing, both placer and lode.
 Two high lights of the course will be a lecture on mining law and another on radioactive miner als with a demonstration of a Geiger counter.

Tugboat Strike In Puget Sound Seems Certain

SEATTLE, (P) - Chances of avoiding a tugboat strike on Puget Sound were described as almost yesterday after a meet ing of union and management representatives with a federal la bor concilator.
 The glum report was made by union official who said the prin- cipal stumbling block in the way of an agreement was the demand of unions for a tWo-Week annual vacation in place of a demand for a 4O-hour work week. The men now work at least 48 hours.
 Involved in the dispute are the masters, mates and pilots and in land boatmen's union, and some 25 tugboat firms from Olympia to Bellingham.
 Capt. John M. Fox, union lead. CT, said authority for the strike has been voted. He estimated a two-week stoppage would idle some 35,OOO to 10000 men in vari- ous industries dependent upon the tugboats.
 Union and operator representa- lives will meet again around the first of April in a final effort to reach d settlement.
