Citizens Warned
About Typhoid
Immunization

Due to the fact that we have
had practically no typhoid fever
in the state for the past few years
many citizens have become care
less about keeping up their ty-
phoid immunizations. They are
not taking their one dose booster
shot annually as they did in the
past. The general feeling is that
typhoid fever is gone forever. 1t
is not There are several cases
in the state today, and investiga-
tons reveal that immunizations
have been neglected.
To keep typhoid under control,
we must - personally and collec-
lively - practice good sanitation,
in addition to keeping up proper
protective lamentations. SAM
tation, of course, is very impor-
tant, but sanitation alone will not
protect us from typhoid fever. We
must be immunized at proper in
teryals.
It would be too bad for Missis-
sippi to lose the gains it has made
in the control of yellow fever.
After practically no deaths and
very few cases for several years,
the disease now seems to be re-
turning in some counties in the
state. We must continue to do
the things which we have learned
are necessary to control the dis
ease if we are again to become
free and remain so.

duce enough hay tor his need.
About so per cent of the farmers

hay to feed next winter or are
you going to continue to pay $50

Every cattle producer in
Holmes County should bale or

hay for each COW. You cannot
afford TO pay $50 to $40 a ton
for hay that you can produce on
your own form for $40 to SIS
per ton.
Prepare your hay land as soon
as possible. Plant kobe or korean
lespedeza at the rate of 25 to
80 pounds per acre. This should
be planted not later than April
18th. Control weeds during the
summer by clipping it high with
a moving machine. Each acre
should produce one and one-half
to two tons of good hay.
There are thousands of acres OF

Sesregationists To
Express Opinions
by Walter S. Wetzel, Vice-Chr.
Blackfeet Tribal CounciD

Wy VdlleF .. "cILei, FlCc-CIl.,
Blackfeet Tribal CounciD
Several members of the Black
feet tribe have been at council
meetings and have asked that
the Blackfeet Tribal Business
Council give them an opportun-
ity to voice their opinion on seq
regation from the Blackfeet Tri-
bal Business Council jurisdiction.
Such request has been granted
to these individuals.
There will be meetings as fol-
lows:
March % at Browning.
March "a at Heart Butte.
March Is at Starr School.
The benefits would be small to
the Indians who would prefer to
pull away from the Blackfeet
Tribal corporation. Those Ind
ians who desire to take their
monthly per capita share from
Tribal income would be surprised
to find that they would receive
about 81 per month.
The segregationists would not
receive medical aid. relief. edu.
cational assistance. productive
loans. emergency loans and bur-
ials, under the Blackfeet Tribal
corporation set-up. because they
would receive their per capita
share in a direct payment each
month.
! The present Tribal Council has
paid all obligations that were in
Cured by the old administration
and has given a shutdown order
on spending for an indefinite
time to save for a per capita pay
ment some time in the future.
The present Tribal Council has
worked tirelessly with senators,
representatives and other offic-
ials to put in legislation in both
State and Federal Governments
to benefit the Indians.
To criticize is a right we all
enjoy, but any injurious actions
on the part of members of the
Tribe towards the Blackfeet Tri-
bal Council will hamper their eff
forts in achieving their goal,
which is to promote the welfore
of the Blackfeet Indians.
Full support by all members is
needed for the Blackfeet Tribal
Council to accomplish their task.
In my opinion, l am not in ia
vor of segregation because in
these times when the Indian is
trying to put himself on the same
level as any other American citi-
zen and where there is discrimi-
nation shown against him, we
can only win our fight by work.
