Ritualistic Drum
Dance Fascinates

The Caribou Eskimos still per
form a ritualistic drum dance that
has survived from the time of the
Stone Age. Members of the tribe
gather in a double-size skin tent
as darkness falls which is the sig
nal for the start of the ceremony.
Darkness" lifts the taboo against
drum beating.
The men sit in an outer circle
around the edge of the tent and
the women form a tight inner
circle. The dancer steps across
the circle of men into the WOmen's
circle. AS he moves he beats a
tambourine or one-slded drum with
a short, stout stick.
AS he sWays in rhythm with the
drum beats he gazes upward then
bends his knees until he nearly
touches the floor. With short steps
he circles around the ring still
beating the drum in perfect, I'M
broken rhythm.

ment requirements; and to in
crease housing for Stats.
During the past three years,
three large centers have been
constructed and put into operation
at Kayenta and Chinle in Arizona,
and at Tohatchi in New Mexico.
Clinic station buildings have been
built and are operating at Plnon,
Round Rock, White Cone, and
Cornfields in Arizona, and at Pue-
bio Pintado in New Mexico. The
large health centers, whose pri-
mary responsibility is preventive
medicine, are stated by medical,
dental, nursing, sanitation and
health education personnel. Physi-
clans in these centers and stations
also render medical care services
on an out-patient basis. If pa
tient requires disqualification. he
is referred to the nearest PHS
Indian hospital.
A new 75-bed hospital was dedi-
Gated for service at Shiprock, May
1860. This facility replaces an out
NODDED frame structure hospital
OF 43 beds. The staff of physicians
has been increased from S to z
along with comparable increases
of other professional. administra-
tive, and ancillary staff. Housing
at this time is a determent to
employment of an adequate staff,
but in thu very near future sur
gerry, pediatrics. internal medi-
cine, obstetrics, gynecology and
expanded out-patient services will
be available. Nine of the 81 hous-
ing units under construction have
been completed at the time of
this writing, and the other units
should be completed within the
next three months. 1t is anti
cipated that by July 1861 this
health service unit will have suf-
ficient staff members to provide
a well-rounded program Of n1edi-
cal care and preventive services.
A new 2OO-bed hospital is under
construction in Gallup. which,
when completed, will provide gen.
eral as we'll as speciality medical
care services to Indians residing
within the boundaries of the Al
buquerque Indian Health Area Of
flee. This hospital is expected to
be opened for service during the
early part of calendar year 1861,
providing sufficient housing can be
made available by the city of
Gallup for staff members.

Path OF
Progress

During the past decade the Ma
vajo people have experienced a
changing world of health, and
their future looks even brighter.
During the late forties, officials
of the Bureau of Indian Affairs
decided that a long range rehabil-
itation program should be deve-
loped to present to Congress. This
program would raise the standard
OF living among the Navajo peo-
pie comparable to the general
population of the United States.
The long range program, which
involved expenditure of millions
OF dollars, was authorized by Pub
lie Law 474 - 81st Congress and
signed by the President on April
10, 1850. Included in the program
were provisions for better and
greater health services for the
Navajo people through construc-
ton of modern and larger hospi-
tails at Tuba City, at Shiprock,
and a 2OO-bed hospital, the site of
which was to be determined. In
addition, several health centers
and clinics were to be constructed
and stated, and a 20O-bed san
atorium was projected to treat
tuberculosis patients.
The first mayor improvement
in health services to the Navajo
people involved negotiating and
letting contracts under the john
son-O' Malley Act with 9 State
and private sanatoria to hospital
ize and treat tuberculosis pat
tents. In October of 1852 the
Branch of Health, under the Bur
eau of Indian Affairs. began ad-
hitting patients to these hospitals
following an intensive case-find-
ing program through use of mo-
bile x-ray units manned by staffs
OF physicians, nurses and technl-
clans specially trained in treat
ment and control of tuberculosis.
At the time, tuberculosis was
rated as the No. 1 killer of the
Navajo. In May 1857, the peak av-
erage daily load OF $50 patients in
contract hospitals was reached.
Since then the average daily load
has diminished to approximately
ITO and the use of 4 Of the 9
contract hospitals have been dis
continued. tuberculosis is now
the fifth cause of death among
the Navajo.
A new and modernly equipped
75-bed hospital was constructed
and put into operation at Tuba
City during late 1854. This struc-
ture replaced an obsolete hoSpi-
tai of 43 beds which employed
only two physicians, dentist and
a small staff of nurses mad other
hospital workers.
On July 1, 1855. through an act
of Congress, health services for
Indians were transferred from the
Bureau of Indian Affairs to the
u. S. Public Health Service. The
u. S. Public Health Service, ii
was decided, could better staff
and operate health programs and
facilities. As a result of this
transfer, there was sizeable in
crease in appropriated funds to
finance increased staffs of ply
sicians, dentists, nurses, ETC.;
procurement of increased medical
supplies, subsistence and equip

tered the shaping Of clay, Mr..

pand his activities in other
fields.
He now creates jewelry

eager to do more work In

into his current role through
a series of happy circum-

gained through a manual dex-
terity aptitude test. Sascha
was cast in the Moss Hart

Eventually he came to
Hollywood to make the
movie, was signed by his
studio to do costume designs.
and in his spare time began
to do free lance ceramic
work.
Then my patron came
along" laughed Sascha,
that rareity in the modern
art world"
The patron happened to be
Winthrop Rockefeller. who
financed the building of q
plant to produce the ceramics
Sascha had in mind.
"He was really quite pa
tient. I would experiment,
and another kiln would ex-
plode, and there would 60

suit that the kiln fired, the
clay took shape and business
doomed.

The Pirates still held their
leading margin in the National
League race today, but through
no fault of their own.
The Bucs dropped their third
straight to the suddenly re-
vitalized Cardinals yesterday,
5-4. but the Braves. with un-
usual Solicitude, kept their
51a-game distance by getting
themselves whomped by San
Francisco, 1872.
Cincinnati defeated Los An
geleS, 9-3, and the Cubs edged
the Phillies, 8-6.
The Cardinals, out to prove
they are not dead yet, not only
swept their series with the
Pirates, but also moved up to
a virtual tie for second place
with Milwaukee. They are only
one point behind the Braves.
Grammas Leads Attack
Alex Grammas, a .228-hitting
utility man, contributed home
run and three singles to the
st. Louis victory, and Hal
Smith Clipped in with a bases
loaded single. However. Joe
Cunningham's sacrifice fly in
the fourth was the decisive
blow.
