Ceremonial
Big Event

it gives into a culture centuries
old before the Pilgrim or Spanish
found our shores.
During the four days, Gallup,
to whom costumed Indians are a
commonplace because of its posi-
ton as the Indain Capital, be-
comes stepped in a civilization that
ante-dated it by hundreds of years.
Into it's Exhibit Hall pour the
finest Indian craftsmanship and
art of the year representing every
conceivable kind of genuine hand
work the Indian produces-many
of the Indina is best exemplified
pared especially to compete for
the long list of prizes that are
offered.
Down the main streets of Gal
lup each morning wind the long
succession of bizarre Indian dane
ers in one Of the three public par
AIDES that provide an exotic caval
cade through banked thousands Of
spectators.
But the overwhelming presence
of the Indiafn is best exemplified
in the encampment of upwards OF
1O,OOO-mostly Navajo from the
nearby reservation-who live in
the open as guests of the Cere-
Lmonial Association on its grounds
during the four-day event.
The Ceremonial still carries on
the all-Indian tradition in which ii
was first conceived in 1922. The
exposition is, above all, a major
social event for the Indian peoples.
Here they meet as did our fathers
at the county fairs of the turn of
the century.
Then. it serves as a preservator
of their tribal dances and rituals.
Navajo times. [volume] (Window Rock, Ariz.) 1960-1984, 1960-08-04

stimulating by the rivalry between
tribes, their interest and apprec-
iation of their own way of life
that rubs away through the years
under the deteriorating compro-
misses with the white civilization.
Its Exhibit Hall provides nat
ional market place each year to
new thousands yet to be introduced
to the true workmanship and craft
Of their handword, fostering high
er standards among the craftsmen
themselves who have this oppor-
tunity to view the work of others.
Thus, it has contributed much to
their year-round economy.
Take the Ceremonial from its
Gallup setting with the rugged
Southwestern mountains as a back
drop and it would lose its authen-
tic ring. For here in the city that
lies in the middle of the. largest
Indian concentration in the coun-
try is the true wedding of time
and place.
The white visitor comes to Gal
lup at Ceremonial time as a pri-
vileged spectator. The program
has been designed for the Indian
to show his skill in the dances,
to exhibit his proves in the rodeo
and games, to demonstrate his
arts and crafts. The white man
joins with him in this great gather
ing but his presence is but minor
factor in the Ceremonial itself.
The color of the modern cam
era film, the artists brush the
written word, or the recorded
sound has never yet caught the
whole canvas of one of Gallup's
annual Ceremonials.

This means on the part Of the Ma
vajo people: Preservation and new
development of their own tradition
in the modern technical world.
Again the German situation in its
difference reminds me of the same
problem. We, the Germans, have
to find new tradition for our
political and cultural life, a ira
dition, which leaves behind all the
disastrous influences of past years
and brings forth once more tok-
ems of humanity, and peace.
Now, during all the weeks Of
my stay at Fort Defiance, while

the Rev. Wayne Plummer in the

l saw the mountains rise out of
the wavy plains when I came fly
ing in from the East Coast of the
United States. The Greyhound car
ried me from Albuquerque to Gal
lup, and again the wide, spacious
country, its wild beauty over
whelmed me. This, then, was the
country the Navajo people called
their homeland. This is the coun-
try, where according to the old
Navajo tales first man and woman
broke through from the deeper
worlds to find their final home
steadS. Its red sand stone walls,
its sandy Steepe, the cactus OPEN
ing its blossoms in the wilderness,
the immense quietness and its hurl-
ing SandStorm: liked it from the
very beginning and l will be a
little bit home-sick when / have to
leave again in September.
But there is more, / love, than
the country. There are the wan
dering flocks of sheep, there are
the noble horses, there is the run
of the jackrabbit across the plains,
and the cry of the eagle. And there
are the Navajo people.
Though my own people back in
Germany has had an entirely diff
ferent history and is living from
an entirely different tradition
find that we have something in
common. My country and the Ma
vajo land are both in a process
of technical and industrial develop
ment. Germany had to rebuild a
war-destroyed country. And when
ever / look around here. in Navajo
land / discover the same familiar
scenes as back home: Road con-
structions, school projects, work
ing bricklayers and carpenters,
humming bulldozers. And both
countries are looking forward to-
wards a new future, they are re-
modelling their tradition The Nav
ajo people must find a synthesis
of their old, strong and valuable
tradition with the white mems hui

Two Postal Men Slain
By. Mailbag Thieves

CHICAGO, Mar. IS (AP).-
Two Post Office investigators
were shot to death in their car
late last night by three men
they had just caught stealing
mail bags.
A half dozen shots were fired
into the bodies of the inspec-
tors by the three thieves, who
fed after the shooting on the
southwest edge of the Loop.
The FBI and police searched
throughout Chicago today for
the slayers.
The inspectors had seized the
trio and several sacks of mail
from the thieves car and we're
about to drive them to a police
station when the shooting broke
out.
The inspectors apparently had
overlooked the guns the thieves
had concealed and they didn t
get a chance to return the fire
after the surprise attack. Both
men were armed with .38-cali-
ber service revolvers but neither
gun was fired.
The victims were Ben Spiz-
zirri, AZ, father of five young
children, and John McAuliffe,
jr., 36, father Of two. Mr.. Nc
Auliffe, who was in the drivers
seat, was shot in the right chest
and shoulder. Mr.. Spizzirri was
killed by shots in the right jaw
and head. Police recovered one

zirri's body.
