First All-Indian Junior
Rodeo Held In Alberta

The first annual all-Indian
junior rodeo for school pupils on
the Indian reserves of Alberta
was held on Saturday, June II.
One hundred and eighty-seven
contestants paid entry fees to
compete in a wide variety of
events, and a crowd of over 1000
spectators enjoyed the fast-mov-
ing show.
Blood, Peigan, Blackfoot,
Stoney, and Sarcee students -
ranging in ag from II to IL
travelled from reserves as far
away as Calgary to the new
Stampede Corral at St. Mary's
Indian Residential School on the
Blood Reserve, six miles north
of Cardston. Many of the con-
teStants who had considerable
travelling to do brought com
plete outfits, including horses,
surcingles for bareback and steer
riding, ropes, etc.
The rodeo-believed to be the
first of it's kind in the world
was limited to Indian contestants
and its success this year as part
of the provincial Golden Jubilee
celebrations assures its continu-
alton as an annual event. The
entire show was organized and
produced by the school staff and
pupils, with no professional help.

construction of corralS e. and a

Heavy Hand OF White House
.Snuffs Freedoms Candle
By Clarence Mitchell in the Afro American

Pentagon, everyone knows that If
we are TO prepare for the total
defense of our country there can
be no racial segregation in the
National Guard units Of the
states. .... .........
The plan of establishing ma
tional reserve program has been
troubled from the beginning by
the knowledge that the South did
not want to see the country pre-
pare for defense, If that prepare
ton required the elimination of
segregation in the National
Guard.
In spite of pleas and warnings
from those who support civil
rights, the Administration tailor
ed its reserve program to fit the
Dixie pattern.
When that program was altered
to the American pattern by MA
ACP amendments offered by Con-
gresham Powell, the White
House led, planned and executed
the move to let the Confederacy
have its way.
After days Of unfair attacks by
newspapers and press conferences
studded with patronizing in
nuendos against colored people,
the reserve training program
came to the floor of the House
again on July 1.
This time the sponsors of the
bill even falsely stated that it
did not include the National
Guard. Generals Mccormack and
Martin had used their power to
bring meek followers into line.
When Isl members of the
House voted against the Powell
amendment on July / even Chair
man Vinson of the House Armed
Services Committee, who comes
from Georgia, knew that the price
for victory was higher than any
American elected to public office
should be asked to pay.
Each member who voted a.
gainst the Powell amendment
knew that he was robbing his
country of the services of thous-
ands of fighting men. just because
their skins are black.
He knew that neither George
Washington nor Thomas jefferson
would have voted against integra-
ton of the guard.
He and each spectator in the
gallery knew that the vote against
the Powell amendment was a sur
render to political expediency.

Representatives. tall, handsome
Adam Clayton Powell told his
colleagues on July 1 that the
President Of the United States
could not expect members TO be
rockies in the legislative army.
He called upon them to stand up
and support his amendment which
would attack segregation in the
National Guard units of the
states.
In addition TO Congressman
Powell there were los other MEM
bers. including Illinois William
l.. Dawson and Michigan's Charles
Diggs, who let all the world know
that they would follow their con-
sciences rather than directives
from the Pentagon on the ques-
ton Of racial segregation.
Among the supporters of inte-
grafton was Hugh Scott, former
chairman Of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, and congress-
man from Pennsylvania.

Some may dwell where the rooms are small
But under the skin we are brothers all.

But we're brothers all when the day is done.
