Danger in 'FroctionoIizotion'

II at first glance 1t appears
to be a matter Of small
moment that there should be
four new members rather
than one from the same gen.
eral area. we should reflect
on the impact Of such q
splinterization in the long
run. That impact has mean
ing not only to the U. NJ, but
to the future Of Africa as
well. It most certainly has q.
great deal to do with the
chances Of success for the
Communist world conspiracy
in that critical struggle for
control Of the future Of the
former colonial world. -.
The imperialiStS Of the
Kremlin already have secure-
control Of Guinea, Ghana
and q troublesome part Of
the Congo In the person Of
ex-Premier Patrice Lumumba
and his followers. They have
also q strong influence in the
United Arab Republic. in the
Sudan, In Morocco. They are
gaining in TuniSia and In
embattled Algeria. =
Now they have the oppor-
tunity to penetrate and cap
ture, at least ideologically,
four nations rather than q
single nation, in what was to
have become the Mali,
Federation. It would be,
probably without q doubt, too
much to place the blame for
the Mali Developments
squarely on the Vaccinations
Of international communism.
More accurately, we should.
assess the blame Of those
self-seeking politicians anx-
ious for personal gain and
prestige, and worse than that
the discouraging absence Of
even a little craftsmanship Of
high order in this transition
Of a very vital area Of the
world from colonialism to
independence. =

Early Christians had stories

Early Christians had stories
for their children. They were
legends which grew with the
years. and flourished espe-
cially in the years following
Constantine's acceptance Of
Christianity.
There was one about how
the robin got his red breast:
"The bird now called the
robin had lived in the East
long before Jesus was born.
He was an undistinguished
bird Of olive gray color, but
good-natured, and Of . good
heart.
ION the night that Jesus
was born 0 robin was asleep
in Q tree near the stall.
Joseph and his relatives
had built o fire not far from
the mouth Of the cave and
they were sleeping on goat
hair blankets placed on
straw. The women were with
Mary. All Of q sudden q great
light came from the mouth
Of the cave and awakened
the gray bird and the men,
who ran to the cave.
''The bird watched all this
from his tree. All at once he
saw that the fire which Jo-
seph and his family had left
was about to 60 out. So, he
flew down and began to fan II
with his wings. The flames
grew into bright red ones,
and he kept tanning until the
ire was good and hot. And

Navaios in this area.
Many Navajo families move
about the country to find fresh
grazing land and water for their
sheep and cattle. The children,
with nowhere in Page to live,
must move with them. If there is
no school in the vicinity where
they settle, the child gets behind
in his schooling and loses the de-
Sire to attend school at his next
opportunity.
Older Navajo boys and girls are
eager to work part time or full
time in Page during the summer
months. But there is no place for
them to stay.
Many Navajo Children have
no lighting in their homes to
study by nor any hot water for
bathing. Often families are not
financially able to pay the 25 to
80 cents per day for the school
lunch for each of their children.
Half of the more than 80 Navajo
youngsters now attending Page
schools ride an average of SO
miles each day on the school bus.
Bad weather sometimes makes
these back roads on the reserva-
ton impassable> and children are
forced to miss school sessions.

to meet with officials to discuss
their ideas on appointments of an
undersecretary of Interior and
five assistants.
He told newsmen that Clyde Ell
lis, director of the National Rural
Electrification Association and Fe-
ix Sparks, director of the Colo
RADIO Water Conservation Board,
has a lot of support as possible
