Natures Children
Sacred White Buffalo.
By LiIIion Cox Athey

There are only two white buffalo
in the United States today. That
lis not too unusual, since in the law
of averages we might have to wait
several centuries to see one. An
albino only occurs once in every 500
million and the phenomenon is fur
ther complicated by the fact that
the father of one of these animals
lis his own brother.
Nature took over a million years
TO create the buffalo. Americans
ltcok few years to almost wipe out
all evidence that such a creature
existed. Not until millions had been
reduced to a mere SAL could any one
Iget Congress interested in saving
the buffalo.
During the years 1872-73-74 more
than S million were destroyed
About 5000 we're slaughtered daily.
AS early as 1849 it was not unusual
for man to make $4,000 a year
on hides. These were shipped by
river boat to st. Louis from the
Upper Missouri Sub-Agency. Bull
hides brought 81 and COW hides,
SITS. Yet there came day when
81 900 was paid for a white one.
The Indians looked upon the
white buffalo as a special gift from
the Great Spirit. To them this ami
NAL was sacred, therefore his robe
was only used during special religi-
GUS ceremonies. One writer made
the error of saying, "A white buffalo
was so great a rarity that even the
Great Spirit must have been sur
prised when one was born. To
which the Indian replied that the
Great Spirit personally had some
thing to do with the birth of every
white buffalo"
To the Indian the buffalo was the
staff of live during early days. The
skin, bones, hair, tendonS, hoofS,
and even the brains served a special
purpose. The hide made wonder
full windbreak, rug or blanket. 1t
was believed that the Great Spirit
created these animals for the In
dian and so they regarded them.

Montana is pure white with the

He lives on the National Bison

might have been fought over his
beautiful hide. Today he is pro-
|tected curiosity. And just in case
you have not been told before, our
so-called buffalo that has become
Ia national symbol and celebrated
lin adventurous lore is not buffalo,
but bison! A true buffalo does
not have a hump on his shoulders
such as African buffalo and cousins
found in Asia.
The first white men to explore
our continent named the pride Of
our plains buffalo" after the Eu-
ropean one. So buffalo he will

named by the first visitors who
thought the men they saw came
from India and so were Indians.

Take NV Word for 1t

Santa Paula: Here is clipping
of a magazine ad about carillonic
bells. It quotes a well-known min
lister as saying, "Your 'carillonic
bells have been in operation in our
church for almost year, and there
has been fulsome praise from our
own members and other groups" +"
Can't you do something?-!G. M.
A. For several years I have de-
voted much space to the word "ful-
some," explaining that it means
offensive; repulsive; disgusting;
foul" Merriam Webster's defines
"fulsome praise" as offensive from
insincerity or basenesS of motive. -
Nevertheless, we continue to read of
mons fulsome meals" of rooms
being flooded with "fulsome sun
shine" of girls wearing long and
"fulsome" evening dresses, etc.
Professional writers especially
should shun fulsome. There is no
place in good modern English for
the obsolete word.

end is good. Although the
spring favorite, shad, is reach
ing the end of its season it is
being replaced by blue fish,
rock, butterfish and crabs.
Blue fish is a good buy right
now. This is a lean fish, you
know and so is less fattening
than some, but rich in iodine
and protective vitaminS. I've
never understood why iodine is
marked poison in a bottle but
lis good for you when eaten in
fish. Perhaps it's like rubbing
alcohol and the other kind
or household ammonia and the
medicinal variety. Life is full
of contradictions, isn't it?
Anyway, according to those
who know, we should all eat
fish at least once q week prin-
cipally for the iodine it con-
tainS.

Recognition of
 China Kicked Out By UN Assembly

PARIS, Nov. 5-R-The fifth United Nations General Assembly rejected at it's final session today Russian demand that the ques- tion of giving China's seat to the Communists be given priority in the sixth assembly, opening tomorrow.
 The vote was II for, 20 against and II abstentions.
 Russias Jacob A. Malik threw the explosive question of Chinese representation into what diplomats had hoped would be non-contro- versial, ceremonial windup of the fifth session.
 He angrily declared it is time to put an end to this disgraceful attitude toward the Chinese peo- pie"
 T. F. Tsiang, Nationalist Chinese delegate, denounced the Russian proposal as calculated to decrease peace" He said the regime Malik proposed to admit has been de- nounced by the assembly as an ag- gressor in Korea.
 After rejection of the Soviet de- mand, the rest of the meeting in the Palais de Chaillot went off as scheduled.

Alaska May Have First Bismufh Mine Says Mining Engineer

Norman c. Stines, mining en- gineer from Los Gatos, Calf, re- turned Saturday from the Admir- alty-Alaska Gold Mining properties at Funter Bay. He is hopeful that the properties can be developed to produce much needed nickel, cop per and cobalt.
 Stines has spent six weeks on the Peterson placer tin properties on Cape Creek near Tin City north of Nome. A $60,000 matching loan has been granted for further prospect ing on the Peterson claims, he said.
 He reported two likely prospects in the Nome area for strategic min erals. Alaska may have the first bismuth mine in the world," he re- vealed "Bismuth, strictly controll- ed metal worth $225 a pound, is ordinarily recovered as a by pro- duct of lead, zinc and copper smelt- ing.
 However o. A. Magraff and As- sociates of Nome have found what appears to be the making of a bis muth mine g miles north of Nome" Another promising prospect are sheelite, (tungsten) veins uncovered by Hugo Linfors and Charles Jones of Nome," he said. Tt occurs in high grade punches associated with quartz veins 24 miles north of Nome.
 Stines left yesterday for Seattle.

Is If Illinois
 vs. Trojans
 In Rose Bowl!

NEW YORK, Nov. 5-tR-Illinois and Southern California were the logical candidates for the Rose Bowl assignment today, but they still have some formidable obstacles to hurdle
 The Illini must get past Ohio State and Northwestern in Big Ten games, while Southern California has Saturday date with Stanford, an undefeated team that could throw the Pacific Coast conference race into confusion.
 If the Trojans beat Stanford, they then must whip UCLA, and they're in. Actually, Southern Cal, on the basis of it's performances all year, should whip both.
 Illinois has three Big Ten games left against Iowa this week, Ohio State on Nov. IT and Northwestern on Nov. 24 Illinois had to settle for a TO victory Saturday over de- lending Michigan. The score came on a pass from Tom O'Connell to Red Smith in the final 65 seconds.
 In other Big Ten affairs, Ohio State kept it's hopes alive by beat ing Northwestern cn a field goal by Vic Janodicz. so; and Wiscon- sin scored in the last minute to stop Indiana, 60.
 Southern California gave an ex- hibition to New York and trounced Army 286. in the rain and mud of Yankee Stadium. That one didn't count in the Pacific Coast standings, but California's 21-7 defeat at the hands of UCLA did - and it was a mighty important one for it just about knocked the Golden Bears out of the race. Now they've lost two. Stanford halted Washington State 21-13.
 Uneasy is the head that wears the crown in the Southwest Conference, as Baylor found out Saturday. TCU whipped Baylor, 20-7, and now the Horned Frogs are the only unde- feated team in the conference, though they've lost to outsiders.
 But TCU still has to play Texas and Rice, so there's no reason to get excited. Texas showed it was not ready to throw in the towel by hanging a 20-l3 defeat on Southern Methodist, while Arkansas upset Texas A. and M, 33-21.
