Something 70
Think About
BY Maurice F. White

For the past two weeks I have
been attempting to explain the
way / view the reason for an In
djyiduals existence.
That is, that everyone has a
purpose in life and should try to
discover and achieve that purpose.
In this last essay on the sub
ject Of purpose, I wish to say
something concerning how one
should actually go about finding
his purpose in life.
I am not a Catholic, but there
is an organization founded by a
Catholic priest, the philosophy of
which, I admire very much. 1t is
the Christophers. Their motto is:
II Is better to light one candle
than to curse the darkness.
MY father put it another way.
IF you don't like a thing, do
something about It."
What both the Christopher's
motto and my father mean is that
whenever an individual comes
upon a situation which he feels
could be improved, rather than
accept the circumstances as they
are or stand back and criticise 1t,
each person Is duty bound to do
whatever he can, however small
1t is, to change that situation for
the better.
No one has a right 10 complain
about anything IL he Is not willing
to actively work for the better
ment Of q situation
Many times it Is out of such
activity that ones true purpose Is
discovered.
Next an individual should keep
an open mind and be willing to
attempt various things should the
opportunities present themselves.
Through such variety knowledge
is gained of the world and most
important Of ones self. More spec
ificaIly, knowledge is gained Of
extent Of ones abilities and limit
atoms, and Of ones likes and dis
likes. Il
Thirdly, a person must main
tain a steadfast faith in three
things.
One, an individual must believe
in himself. without confidence in
ones own worth or ability to sue
coed, a person doomed to failure,
External encouragement can only
carry a person so far. One needs
to have an internal reservoir to
call upon when circumstances and
people fail to support him.
Speaking Of people, an individual
should always maintain a sincere
belief in his fellow man. No matter
how many times one puts his faith
in people and they fail him, he
should never cease believing In the
innate goodness Of people. One
should recognize the fact that ev-
eryone is fallible, and should make
allowances for that faIability. This
realization in itself is a service to
mankind and service to others is
always the road to a true purpose
in life.
Finally, an individual should al
ways maintain a belief in a Higher
Power. The name by which this
Higher Power is called Is iInmater-
ial. 1t is the faith in its existence
that is important.
As stated earlier, this Is the
last essay on the subject Of pur-
pose in life. These thoughts that
I have shared with you are
thoughts that have come from
many hours of meditation. Wheth-
err you agree with me or not is of
no consequence. I just hope you
have been stimulated to do some
thinking on your own.
In the weeks to come hope to
share with you more Of my ideas
on such subjects as war, the
church, chivalry, marriage, mercy
killings and anything else that
comes to mind.

Social Security

If your family was facing finan-
cial difficulties, would you continue
to ignore source of steady income
that might be yours for the asking2
You might think this silly Ques-
ton, but that is exactly what MANY
American families are doing. Ac-
cording to the Social Security Adj
ministration, it is estimated that
number of disabled persons have
neglected to file for monthly social
security disability benefits to which
they may be entitled and toward
which they contributed while work.
ing. The sad fact is that in many
cases, these additional dollars
might be just enough to balance the
family budget, eliminating the wor-
ries and fear that accompany ac-
tual or approaching dependency.
The 1861 Amendments to the So
cial SecurityAct extended the dead
line for applying for disability ben
efits to June 30, 1862. This gives
people with long standing disabil-
tiles year longer in which to ap-
ply than the old law did. Workers
who delay their applications be-
you'd June 30, 1862. may lose all
rights to present and future bene-
fits for themselves and their FAM
lilies. The important point is that
action should be taken now. Time
is running against them.
For example, starting in No
vember 1860, monthly social Sc
curity disability benefits were pay
able to young severely disabled
workers and their families. Prior
to that month. cash disability ben
efits were paid only If the worker
had reached his 5Oeh birthday. In
a nutshell, if you are a disabled
worker under age so. find om from
your social security office right
away whether you are eligible for
monthly benefits. If you have
worked under social security for
at least out of 10 years just be-
Navajo times., 1961-12-27

fore you became disabled, you
should apply for benefits. Remem-
ber this--retroactive benefits can
be paid for only IL months before
the month the application is filed.
This means that to be eligible for
back benefits beginning with No
vember 1860, you must file before
the end of November 1861.
Another siZable group who may
find it particularly yprofitableto to call
the local social security office is
one composed of survivors of
workers who died between March
81, 1888, and January 1. 1910. The
first benefits payable to these wio-
ows. widowers dependent parents,
and disabled adult sons and daught-
ers. were also for the month of Oc-
tOber 1867 There is still time to
file for all benefits retroactive to
October 1860, but the filing must
be accomplished before the end of
October this year.
A fourth group affected by
similar type of deadline is made up
of persons who are still working
but whose earnings during 1861
would permit them to get some ben
efits. Under the social security re-
uremenr test, aperson can receive
all benefits due If earnings during
the year are 81, 200 or less. Even
if earnings are more, most people
can get some benefits during the
year. For earnings from ST, 200 to
81, 200, only 81 in benefits is with
held for each 81 earned. On earn
Navajo times., 1961-12-27

ings above 81, 700, ST in benefits
is withheld for each ST earned. In
addition a person can receive full
benefit check for any month in which
he does not earn more than 500
and does not operate his own busi-
ness.
A person II Or older canget
all benefits due regardless of how
much he earns. Any person who
feels that he may qualify for some
benefits under this new provision
should not delay in bring ing t he
facts to the attention of his nearest
social security office. He mayfind

A Merry Christine as
And HappY Birthday

Harold Drake Sr. >, Navajo Tribal
Councilman, from Navajo Noun
tain, Utah, District II.
Harold had to face the fact that
his birthday and Christmas gifts 60
together, for he was bornDecember
Is, 1922.
''We tell him it's privilege to
be born on Christmas" But he's
not quite so sure when there are
birthday parties for other men.
HaroldDrake enrolled in school
for the first time at the age of five
at the Tuba City Boarding School in
1929.
He graduated IS years later in
1945. The school now is the Tuba
City Vocational High School.
After leaving there he attended
the following schools: Cook Christ
ian, Phoenix, Arizona from 1860
1850, Dubuque Theological Semi
nary at University of Dubuque. Du-
buque. Iowa from 1852 20 1853.
In 1854 Harold returned to the
reservation; this is whenhe started
working with the Board of National
Missions of Presbyterian Church,
USA, then in 1855 he transferredto
Kayehta Presbyterian Church.
In 1859 he became Councilman
from Navajo Mountain, District IL
Today the quite young manis much
concerned over the land Northeast
of Navajo Mountain.
Additional to councilman,
Harold Drake is on several Com
mittees: The Advisory Committee,
The Trading Committee, and Utah
commits ssioner of Indian Officers.
We feel since Harold Drake is
born on Christmas Day, it should
be some connections with saying,
A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND
A HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Youth Speaks
Native Language
The Navajo Language: How Does
1t Affect Our Schooling?

49, 'AJ~ A@oAI6OoS(s IIOW DOGS
1t Affect Our Schooling?
We often think of how important
the English language is to US. But
we don'tuse it as often as we should.
About three weeks ago, Irepre-
sented my school at the Navajo
Youth Conference. We chose diff
terent workshops in which we dis
cussed some of the problems of the
Navajo Youth. Ichose language. Our
problem was to figure out how we
could speak English correctly and
use it more. First we had to find
out why we spoke so much Navajo.
We found these facts: 1. The STU
dents don't care much for reading.
z. The parents don't encourage
English as much as they should. 3.
The students themselves don't put
enough effort into trying to learnor
speak English correctly. 4. Teach
ers of Navajos don't try as hard as
they should to teach the Navajo
children to speak English and to en-
courage them to learn it we'll.
We triedto solve these problems
the best we could, and here is what
we came out with: 1. The students
should do more reading and learn
more English idioms. 2. The par
ents should encourage their child
ren to speak English especially if
they are just starting school. 8. The
students should put more effort into
speaking nd using English cor
rectly. 4. More reading material
should be put out for the students
who stay on the reservation in the
summertime. 6. Teachers of Nav
ajo students should be more con-
cerned about their pupils learning
English correctly than about any,
thing else.
These were some of the ways we
thought that the NaVajos could i'm
prove their second language great
deal. Along with solving tho Sc
problems, we all agreed to retain
our native language anduse it when
it is necessary in speaking to our
grandparents and others.
The Winona Lodge House Coun-
Gil decided that they would use the
merit system to encourage the
speaking of English. Their motto
for speaking English is: 'If tits to
be, it is up to me-"
