Editorial

The General Election OF 1860 is history There
will be few changes here and there mostly numbers of
The United States of America has new Presidential
ect John Fitzgerald Kennedy AS such Mr. Kennedy will
have chance lead Americans what could be the
most productive years of all times
All of Americas productive at their highest
peak New advances science and echnooges should help
make these years the most interesting OF all times Not only
interesting but the most productive. American citizens
should be making money, having free time, and
living better than before There should be ad-
vances made in medicine education art and all fields
We feel that all the American people, not certain ee-
should be able take advantage of all these things
We advocate that President-Elect Kennedy meet as
possible with the leaders of the Navajo Tribe.
Since there has been a change in government, that
means change in the two most important offices that a
feet the Indian people of America Secretary of the Inter-
and Commissioner of Indian Affairs In these two
fcals rest the fate of all the Indian Nations just the
Navajo
Tribe leading it's people into better times for the Ma
vajo but still up to par for the nation as whole
There exists on the Navajo Reservation now many
grave problems Economy is down large portion OF this
stems from low livestock price and lack of adequate
feed for the livestock STUDY of these problems and fac
tors to better them should be started soon.
Road conditions the Reservation are better, and are
becoming better all the time Still there certain areas
that practically inaccessible
Education presents its problem too Every year, more
and more children OF school age taxing the Reservation
schools the utmost More facilities better teaching meth
Ods and certainly teachers will help solve this prob
lem, too.
Lack of industry on the Reservation In this area where
timber OIL gas and other products abundance there
should be businesses fighting build the Reservation
We need aid in Locating Industry that will hire Navajo labor
on or near the Navajo Reservation Someone competent
fill these two positions will be hard find &c. again we
advocate that President Elect Kennedy meet with
fcials of the Navajo Tribe discuss this matter
No matter who chosen they will need the aid and as
Sistance of all the Indian people that the
vao people will willingly help the Secretary of Inter-
0r and Commissioner of Indian Affairs in making the
ing years the productive and richest of all for
the Navajo, as well as for all Indian people

seems to be with the mainstream
of American civilization rather
than with his more ancient Indian
background.
Even under the new Democrat
ic Kennedy Administration, how
ever it is obvious that there is not
going to be much change in the
federal governments subtle prodS
to Indian Tribes to become pre-
pared for the ultimate day of ter
mination. Kennedy has reiterated
over and over again in his New
Frontier theme that all Americans
are expected to pull their weight
in the colossal battle between
Communism and the Western Free
World, Kennedy is likely to 60
along intellectually with the Ell
senhower Administrations attempt
to provide schooling for all school
age Indian children. But there is
considerable question whether the
young President-elect will 60 along
with proposals for bigger social
and welfare benefits for Indians
just because they are Indians, as
demanded by the Indian lobbyists.
Kennedy is no expert on Indian
problems, and he never will be.
He will take his cue from Chair
man Clinton P. Anderson, D.-N.M.
of the Senate Interior Committee
and from Chairman Wayne N. AS
pinall D. Colo, of the House In
terror Committee, both of whom
tend to seek practical solutions
to Indian problems.
The Indian lobby organizations
got jolt on election day when
former Rep. William H. Harrison
Jr., Of Sheridan, Wyo., was elect
ed to Congress again by about
5000 votes over his colorful uran-
ium rich Democratic rival, HIT.
Armstrong. Harrison sponsored
the Indian termination resolution
approved by the 83rd Congress.
Kennedy issued statement on
Nov. l promising the consent of
Indians to any termination schem-
es. But Chairman James A. Hal
ey, D-Fla., of the House Indian
Affairs Subcommittee, has told
this correspondent that he antici-
pates Congress will not repeal the
Harrison termination resolution
which has been Congressional pol
icy for the past four Congresses.

On Monday the 14th of Novem.
ber meeting was called for by
the Lukachuki Chapter to discuss
the Education Clothing Program.
The Education chairman of the
Navajo Tribe presided at the
meeting. The Tribal Clothing pro-
gram was discussed to make clear
er the working of this Program.
The Chapter residents requested
that the clothing program be ex-
panded to include the 9th grade
students. The Program includes
the 3rd grades. Since there are
800 students involved, the resi-
dents requested an expansion of
the program. The other problem
for discussion involved the check
ing out of dormitory students
once a month. This visit to be
made to see parents, etc. If the
students check out more often,
they are liable to be late return
ing to school, or not report at all.

Mercy Given Woman
With q Parking Tags

Municipal Court Judge Mil
ton S. Kronheim, jr., tempered
the strict application of the law
with mercy yesterday in the
case of a woman who was taken
from her new job and held for
312 hours on 81 parking ticket
warrants.
The jurist fined Mrs. William
McAdams SIS on each of the
tickets but suspended the
sentence.
Judge Kronheim said the
fact that two policemen took
her away from the job she has
held only three days in George
town and that she was in GUS
tody for 81 hours was sufficient
punishment.
Her court-appointed attorney
Edward Kehoe, told Judge
Kronheim Mrs. McAdams did
not know the tickets were out
standing against her. He said
she had frequently loaned her
car to a friend and thought
the tickets must have been
issued while the friend was
using it over a period of a year
Actually, Mr.. Kehoe and po-
lice said. Mrs. McAdamS hasn't
even owned a car for three
months.
She was arrested yesterday

Melvin L. Reese slashed school
budgets before sending them to
the council. It required five
votes of the seven-member
council to restore cuts.
Procedure Revised
Mr.. Reese was operating un-
der a provision of the county
charter which set up the pro-
cedure for his review of the
school budget. To get around
this step, the council in 1858
set UP a procedure which by

school spending.

The decision was a defeat
for the eopservatively-minded

which tried to get the courts
to uphold the authority of the

Is our land going back to the
| Indians? This question suggests
very important and pressing
problem facing Noble county's
| young people as we'll as all of
the young people of our nation.
This is pressing problem es-
pecially to the youth because in
the next fifteen years the con-
| serving and developing of our
| God-given natural resources will
| be put into the hands of US, the
| teenagers of today and the farm
ers of tomorrow.
What we shall do to preserve
our natural resources will depend
upon our general understanding
of the principles of conservation.
/ First of all we must realize that
conservation does not mean a
miserly boarding Of natural re-
sources but simply that we should
use wisely and well the resources
God has given to us. We must
accept the fact that at no time
will we honestly be able to say
Il have completed my part in
conservation" because conserVa-
ton is never completed.
To supply the food, raw mat
erials, and recreational areas for
the growing population of our
nation, we must use wisely every
available acre of land. However,
we cannot clear the forests and
all woodland areas for use as
cropland. This would be wasting
a great amount of valuable tim
ber while destroying a good rec
reational area as well as the
shelter and food for wildlife. If
the food and shelter were de-
stroyed, Wildlife would become
dangerously scarce.
| If the forests were removed,
lack of timber would be prob
lem; but a more dangerous prob
lem would be uncomfortable soil
| erosion. Without the roots of
trees TO take in water and hold
the soil in place, the surface
water would run off too swiftly.
The fast runcff of the surface
water would not only cause ero-
sion, but also the underground
