a definite influence on later per-
sonal features,

tunity to create pleasant atmos-

ing the Operators Club and the
Radio Club. One of his main in
terests at that time was photog-

Ulysses left Scott Base he went
back to Lowry Air Force Base as
radio mechanic. Due to the very
high record he has made he has a
permanent position on that base

stantly must be preserved by each family.
The potentials of broad inclusive culture,
however, have not been destroyed among the
Sirionos DR.. Holmberg illustrates his text with
photographs which show that they have an ac-
tive sense of humor. Despite their pathetic pow
erty, they appear to be cheerful and friendly
Even though they cannot count beyond three
and have no musical instrument of any kind
they sing attractively and have certain poetical
way of looking at things. The future among them
Is "the brother of tomorrow" the past "the
brother of yesterday" But their good humor and
amusing imaginative capacity have not altered
the circumstances of their perpetual hunger their
social degradation, their mere survival without
hope Of improvement. Flight from their enemies
saved them from extinction, but their pacifism
has given them little reason to be glad that they
did not perish. DR.. Holmberg closes his appraisal
by noting that they wander through the country
so beset with insects that life becomes well-nigh
unendurable."

Long-Bow Nomods

The Smithsonian Institution recently has pub
hShed study of the Siriono Indians of eastern
Bolivia by Dr. Allan R. Holmberg of Cornell Uni
verSity which deserves public attention as well as
the careful study of professional anthropologists
and ethnographiSts. One reason why the book
is important is that it shows what happens to
people who submit to being pushed around and
fenced in. The Sirionos are perhaps the most
primitive people alive in the world today. They
probably are the remnants of population ex-
terminated or absorbed centuries ago by more
advanced Indian invaders" DR.. Holmberg found
them naked, always hungry consistently miser-
able. Their only shelters are brush leantos They
have no domesticated animals. Their conception
Of social organization is infantile. They string
necklaces and occasionally paint their bodies
erudely, but they possess no other art worthy of
the name. .-....s...
! Yet the Sirionos do have skills. They are
clever hunters, using rude long bows and very
long arrows to shoot prey which they lure out of
the forests and the swamps by the trick of imi-
tation. It is possible for them to mock bird or
peccary perfectly. Men capable Of such a per-
formance, it would seem, should be able to fab
ricate canoe but none Of the "nomads of the
long bow" have done so. Their intellectual pov-
erty also is proved by the fact that they have lost
