THE preacher wore feathers, and from his
Il bright beaded belt hung a tOmahawk.
He waved it, and an awed congregation loosed
a low gasp.
Il do not come to scalp the head, my
brethren" he reassured them, but to scalp
the heart of sim" d.
And the country listeners sighed.
Il am Chief O. T. Custalow," he doomed,
chief of the Mattaponis and descendant of
the great Powhatan. And l am the only Indian
chief in the history of Virginia to be ordained
into the Baptist ministry"
He paused to let the introduction sink in,
and the audience gazed raptly at his richly
decorated, red chiefs suit, his necklaces of
marsh hog tuskS and scales, and his brilliant
flowing headdress.
1t was just typical pulpit appearance
for the chief, who travels from church to
church on invitation. A lay preacher for years,
he was ordained recently as an evangelist
People ask me why wear my full regalia
in the pulpit" he said, land tell them because
folks come to see the Indian chief, and if I'm
wearing civilian clothes, they ask, Where's
the chief?'"
Contrary to a common conception of an
Indian as 1.-the, unsmiling and inarticulate,
Chief Custalow is Stocky- even paunchy-
and as jolly and garrulous as an enthusiastic
department store Santa Claus.

He is the leader of famous tribe that
once numbered in the thousands and called
much of Tidewater Virginia home.
Today, only 200 MattapOnis survive.
Eighty of them live on their reservation, l25
acres of farmland and forest along the pleas
ant, shad-rich MattapOni River in King William
County. (See Star Dust, page2l
Chief Custalow, noting with dismay
steady exodus of young Indians to jobs in the
cities, has done what he could to prevent
his people from becoming literally
vanishing Americans.
Besides keeping Mattaponi history alive
in his evangelical travels, he has preserved
Indian cultural relics in a reservation mu-
scum and he has contributed more than his
share to tribal population with Is children, by

walls between objects identified with Pow

Another, and larger, sign points out that
the chiefs Indian name, Hos-ki-no-wa-na-ha,
means: Big Tree, ruler of the forest, stand
against mighty storm, not fall. Little tree weak,
fall"
The chief explains that he is supposed to
be like Big Tree and not yield to either temp

AS the campaign draws near to a close, we are more
convinced than that Vice President Nixon is the
for the presidency of the United States He has shown
his campaign and in his debates he and
sound in his judgment relies facts rather than the
emotions of people, is not afraid to state his position
matters affecting this nation and that he wants this
try and its people to remain free.
He advocates policies that will retain initiative and
resouceuness for the people, and those that would pre-
vent this country from going into completely welfare
state.
Under Democratic administrations we have been
brought closer the brink of complete welfare
Started in by Mr.. Roosevelt mushroomed and
continued under the Truman ADMINISTRATION. Senator
Kennedy talks lovingly of Franklin d. and Harry and has
already promised crash program comparable to the first
days Of the Roosevelt administration if he is elected
the presidency Heaven Forbid We had enough of that
If Kennedy would get his big push toward government
controls that advocates might be in complete bondage
His discussions about what he plans to do destroy the
American form of government.
He has no fiscal responsibility in regard to decreasing
the cost of government but wants to spend spend and
spend His supporters proud to be among the biggest
spender He considers that in order to spend we must
pay, pay, pay!
Senator Kemedys plans to increase the power of the
federal government will its effect states rights and
take over private enterprise completely He would control
all schools banks and do away with destroy completely
private initiative If this took place, where then would be
our personal freedom?
Can a democracy die. When we get a completely cen
azed Senator Kennedy has advocated
we are more than we'll way Our forefahers fought
and died Constitution based the Bible, Bill OF
Rights and the American creed We will throw all this
and be on our way bondage vote for the man who
promises us everything under the shining along with
pie in the sky and increase taxes We can't support
man whose promises flow like maple syrup and we hope the
big majority of voters can't either.
