The Sixth Grade Visits the
Historic Places in Dover

We left our class room on Tues
day, November 21st at 900 am.
We arrived in Dover at $3.50 am.
When we arrived in Dover, we
visited Caesar Rodney's grave in
the cemetery of Christ Church. AS
we entered the church yard, we
saw a sign on the wall which said
that Caesar Rodney was born in
1928 and died in 1884. He was first
buried on his farm and later re-
moved to the Christ Church Gene
terry. The monument at his grave
said that he was the Governor Of
I Delaware during the Revolution
ary War, a great statesman, and
signer of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence.
Next, we visited the new State
House. There we saw the Senate
Chamber and the House Of Repre-
sentatives. The Senate Chamber
has seventeen seats. The walls anc
ceiling were gray. There were foui
beautiful chandeliers hanging from
the ceiling. Overhead there was z
balcony for visitors. When we en-
tered the room in which the Re
representatives. meet, we found they
had thirty-five seats there. Theil
walls and ceiling were also gra!
with four chandeliers. This room
also had a balcony for visitors.
We next visited the Governor,
office, on the second floor. Th
Governors secretary told us tina
the furniture in the office had beel
used by other Governors year

The Doughten Memorial Clock,

ago. We found that the Governors
desk held a paper donkey that had
been presented to him by a nine
year old boy as the Governor was
a Democrat. We also learned that
the Governors telephone number
was Dover 5711.
When we left the new State
House, we went to the Archives
Building, where there was a lady
to explain the documents to us.
We learned that the records are
safely filed with all precautions
taken to preserve them.
We also learned that Delaware
was one of the seven states that
still has the charter that the King
of England gave to the Duke of

St. Mary's Landing
Strip Proposed;
On Park Program

Washington-St. Marys on the
eastern border of Glacier Nation
al Park may have a landing strip
under terms of legislation passed
in the House Of Representatives,
according to Representative Wes-
ley A. D'Ewart.
The bill provides that the Ma
tional Park Service may act as
sponsor for CAA airport projects
where local communities adjac-
ent to park entrances are unable
to supply the required matching
funds.
D'Ewart said an airport at St.
Marys is the No. 2 project on the
Park Service program. The first
will be at West Yellowstone.
Tentative plans call for the In
terror Department to be respon-
sible for large share of the
SIS, TAB, which local sponsors
would be required to supply un-
der the CAA law. The CAA
would contribute SIT, O57 for the
St. Marys project, which would
provide one turf strip, 500 by
5000 feet, an administration
building and an access road.
The legislation now awaits the
Presidents approval.

Blackfeet Got
$4,000 For
Browning Site

At various times over the years
there have been those who have
wondered as to what became OF
the proceeds in the sale of lots Of
the townsite of Browning back in
1919.
An inquiry made by Congress-
man Wesley A. D'Ewart to the
Bureau of Land Management, u.
S. Department of the Interior,
recently resulted in the follow
ing answer to him, copy of
which he h a $ submitted to the
Chief:
My dear Mr.. D'Ewart:
Reference is made to your letter
of February 16 requesting infor-
nation regarding the townsite of
Browning, Montana.
The sale Of lots in the TOWNSHIP
was opened August 4, 1919 and
all funds from the sale were de-
posted to the credit of the Indian
trust account 147361, Blackfeet
Reservation, Montana, Act March
/, 1907.
1t is estimated that approx
mately $4,000 was collected
from sales of lots in the townsite
of Browning, Montana. In order
to determine the total amount de-
posted into the account from the
sales of the lots in the townsite
of Browning it would be necessary
to analyze old records. possibly
requiring three months time.
However, feel certain that the
above will provide sufficient in
formation for your purpose.
Sincerely yours,
Marion Clover. Director.

White Man Held Responsible
For Early Day Scalping

Handbook of American Indians
issued by t he Smithsonian
Bureau of Ethnology in 1910 says:
"Scalping was confined originally
in N or t h America to a limited
area in the Eastern United States
and the over St. Lawrence
region. 1t was absent from New
England and much of the Atlantic
Coast region, and was unknown
until comparatively recent times
throughout the whole Interior
and Plains area. It was not found
on the Pacific Coast or the Can
adam Northwest
George Frederick, in the Smith
sonian Annual Report for 1906,
says: "Scalping in it's commonly
known form and greatest extent
was largely the result of the in
fluence of white people who in
troduced firearms, which in
creased the fatalities in a conflict;
brought the steel knife, facilitat-
ing the taking of the scalp, and
finally offered scalp premiums"
First to offer premiums for ma
tive heads were the New England
Puritans in 1857, Frederici con-
tinues: 1.-The acme of the custom
was reached after the institution
by whites of scalp premiums, &C.
companied by the employment of
natives for scalp gathering, and
scalping by the whites them
selves"
The English were the first to
offer scalp bounties, followed by

Indian Affairs, Inc.)
The Association of American
Indian Affairs, through its Ma
tional Film Committee, has an
other swipe at the Savage In
dian stereotype as evident in a
controversial painting on Capitol
Hill.
Last week, Charley Grounds, a
Seminole Indian, told a House
Sub Committee it ought to re-
move from its walls painting de-
picting an Indian scalping a white
man. History cites us it was the
white man who started t h t
scalping," Mr.. Grounds said.
Mr.. Grounds is absolutely right,
the Associations National Film
Committee pointed out, review
ing the history of scalping in the
United States. In fact. the Asso-
citation said, the scalping stigma
attributed to Indians illustrates
precisely how misconceptions
about the red man have swollen
into til e present bloodthirsty
stereotype so prevalent in Holly
wood westerns, comic strips and
other story forms.
Historians, writing in various
Smithsonian Institution publica-
tions as far back as 1906 and 1910
agree, according to the Associa-
ton, that scalping was not gen.
eral among American Indians be-
fore the coming of t h e white
man.

Red China Land Law Makes
Concessions 10 Landlords

HONG KONG. July Red
China's chairman Mao Tze-tung
yesterday signed the agrarian re-
form law.
Published here by the official
New China News agency, the
8,000-word text makes startling
concessions to China's land capi-
talists and rich peasants.
Landlords in Central and South
China are due to have their land
holdings. farm implements and
surplus houses" confiscated, but
will be allowed to retain other
wealth under the law. Rich peas
ants who till their own land and
hire other peasants will be allowed
to keep all their wealth and land
as before.
These concessions contrast with
the harsh policy in Manchuria
where landlords were stripped of
all wealth and driven from their
homes, and where rich peasants
were stripped to the level of ordi-
nary peasants.

Reorganization Approved,
WaItham Will Reopen
BY the Associated Press

BOSTON. July Federal
Judge George c. Sweeney ap-
proved reorganization of the
closed-down Waltham Watch Co.
yesterday and its trustees said
they hoped to reopen the century,
old firm after the holiday week
end.
The approved reorganization
plan presented by the court
appointed trustees was sponsored
by Waltham stockholders. The
plant has been closed since
February 3.
Judge Sweeney told the trustees
to open the plant on a limited
basis and directed them first to
dispose of an inventory of 10000
completed and 100000 incom-
pleted watches.
One of the trustees, Judge
Jacob j. Kaplan, said he has as
surance of $4,000 from outside
sources to match a like amount
to be rendered by stockholders to
finance the reopenipg.
With this amount, he said, the
trustees hope to persuade the Re-
construction Finance Corp. to re-
lease $500,000 of Waltham cash it
now is holding in a blocked ac-
count.
But a spokesman for the RFC
said later that the Government
agency was not prepared to re-
lease the $500,000 because earlier
objections to the plan still stand,
despite subsequent amendments.
