Observe Communion

At an impressive Holy Com.
munion Mass at the Holy Re-
deemer Church In Kensington
last Saturday, ten exceptional
children of the special education
school of Montgomery County
received their first communion
along with their joyous parents.

Montgomery County," attend
public schools. They attended
catechism classes weekly on
Saturdays since September, and
daily for the last three weeks
prior to communion. Their
teacher is Mrs. Joseph brennan
of st. Michaeps parish, Silver
Spring, who has dedicated a
great part of her life to the
teaching Of the handicapped
child.

Because of the splendid
training in Montgomery County
special education classes, ! the
perfect cooperation of parents,
and the constant excellent spir-
itual guidance of Father John
Brady, assistant pastor of the
Holy Redeemer Church, these
children have realized the most
wonderful privilege known to
man, the reception of the body
and blood of Christ" says Mrs.
brennan.
This years group marks the
second class of its kind in the
county, and many parishes are
represented in the enrolment.
An inspirational message, Civ.
ing much encouragement to the
parents of the handicapped chill
dren, was delivered by Msgr. E.

Indian Trader
Defends Indian
Rights as Voters

in Is States. Counselor also said,
''this action may put the kiss oi
death on the possibility of J. Mau-
rice McCabe, fine outstanding
servant of his tribe, his state and
his nation, becoming United Stat
es Indian Commissioner.
Mr.. McCabe, Navajo Executive
Secretary, is leading contender
for the post under the Kennedy
Administration.
"The Navajos", continued Coun-
selor, 'who for 100 years have
been beset by a series of mis-
fortunes, many of them the re-
suit of political thoughtlessness of
the white man. From time to time
they have lost portions of their
historic homeland, from the land
On which they depend for a livli-
hood"
Counselor compared the action
of the Democratic Party of New
exico to the action of the one
time Indian Commissioner John
Collier who decreed that the Nav
ajos must kill OF d portion of their
sheep; food, and also symbols of
wealth to the Indians, to conserve
grazing lands.
''It is sad," said Counselor"
that any New Mexico political
cars would ever attempt 10 cast
a shadow upon the rights of our
first Americans, not only in New
Mexico but in the Is states of the
Union, where other Indian Tribes
reside"

Almost as fast as a new school
facilities are built, old facilities
become obsolete. My point here is
that the new administration must
be made aware of the simple fact
that our birth rate, plus the de-
terioration of many of our school
facilities poses an tnOrmOus finan-
cial problem. 1t has been esti.
mated that approximately $45, 900.
600 could be spent on the Reser-
walton today for new school con-
struction without overwhelming
the program, but merely meeting
the immediate requirements.
Until recently, we we're peo.
pie living in hogans widely scat
tered across the Reservation. New
economic development and job
opportunities are creating growing
communities at many locations. |
refer especially to Shiprock, Fort
Defiance, Chinle, Tuba City and

day will come when adequate pri-
mary and high school facilities will
be available in the communities.
1t is wrong to wrest a small child
from the security of his family
and send him far away to a
strange land to attend school. At
the impressionable adolescent age
level, it is an equally cruel situa.

A veteran Indian trader has
taken a verbal slap at selfish

deny the Indians of the Nation
their rights and privileges as cit
liens and voters.
Jim Counselor, an Indian trader
and advisor to the Navajos for
40 years, said that the tactics TAX
en- by the Democratic Party in
its attempt to challenge the cleo
ton of Lieutenant Governor Tom
Bolack over Joe Montoya, threat
ened the lifelong fight of the In
dians in their right to vote as other
citizens of the country do.
I'm not taking sides in the
election" Counselor said,' but l
resent the inference that the In
dians of New Mexico are not quail
flied to vote. In my opinion they
are more qualified than the poll
ticians who are challenging their
right"
Mr.. Counselor, a member of the

Chairman Addresses
Education Meeting

ADDRESS BY PAUL JONES,
CHAIRMAN OF THE NAVAJO
TRIBAL COUNCIL, AT THE 4TH
ANNUAL CONFERENCE ON MA
AJO EDUCATION, UNIVERSITY
OF NEW MEXICO, ALBUQUER-
QUE, NEW MEXICO, TOO PM,
JANUARY "a, 1861 - - - :
Ladies and Gentlemen:
No higher compliment could be
paid to the Navajo Tribe than the
spirit exhibited here which reflects
the dedication of each of you in
helping to define and solve many
problems confronting the Navajo
education program.
1t seems that only yesterday
there were $1,000 Navajos of school
age, of which only 1900 were in
school because no schools we're
available. We have come a long
way due to new and enlightened
leadership in Washington and in
the Congress which has made it
possible to offer educational op-
portunities for every Navajo
child.
The specific problem confront
ing this conference deals with the
teaching of English to Navajo
children. l should like to remind
you, however, that this is only
one vital facet in a multitude of
problems which confront our edu-
cational system.
The Navajo Tribe is growing at
the rate of 2.25 percent per year.

children from distant points to the
high schools of tomorrow. In some
cases, it may be necessary for
the public schools to construct
dOrmitOries.
On the immediate problem con.
fronting us in the teaching of Eng
lish am hopeful you will agree
that kindergarten program for
5-year old children is highly de-
sirable. We are aware that the
Navajo child knows no English
until he enters tfN first grade.
Exposure to good ~~lish teach
ing techniques at the tender age
of S may be one answer to the
problem.
l hope you have discussed the
possibility of a summer school
program for children who may not
have had adequate Opptortu nifty to
learn English in the lowest grad.
es and for those who are having
unusual difficulty with the Eng
lish language.
There is something wrong in our
approach to the teaching of Eng
lish or we would not be meeting
here today. Somewhere along the
line, we are not doing the job.
Many of our othelWise-efficient
secretaries at Window Rock high
ly efficient with their shorthand
and typing are unable to COM
pose a sentence properly. 1t is
disappointing to realize that some
of our brightest boys and girls
have never learned the difference
between a sentence and a para.
graph, nor car they point out the
subject of a sentence. Their vo-
cabularies are extremely limited
and their pronunciation is fire.
quently sub-grade. 1t is my belief
that no Navajo can write Or speak
good English unless he develops
the curiosity required to make
reading a pleasure. l have met
college graduates who have not
read a book since graduation, and
many seldom, if ever, read a news
paper. Reading habits must be de-
veloped in the early years.
In Our examination of the broad
overall program of improved Ma
vajo education, we must not neg.
lect the field of higher learning.
AS most of you know, our scholar.
ship fund began with $4,000, 600.
We have now increased this SUM
to 10000, 900. I believe it will not
be long before we should invest
another $1,000, 100000 in our youth.
In the field Of advanced educa.
ton, have visions of junior
college on our Reservation. Per.
haps Tribal funds could provide
the buildings and the States Or the
Federal Government could bear
the operating costs. Two years Of
junior college at home might pro-
vide the ingredients so essential in
preparing Navajo boys and girls
for higher education in colleges off
the Reservation. | can also en-
vision as a part of the junior col.
lege special trade school with
heavy accent on developing skills
in the trades. The Navajo junior =
college am projecting would not
only be coeducational, but its doors
would be open to non-Indians as
well as Indians.
Let us approach these problems
with boldness and without fear of
experimentation with new prac-
tees. l should like to commend
you educators for your many great
achievements. Upon your should
ers rests the burden of accelerat-
ing the fantastic transition my
people arc going through Ever.v

CHICAGO, Sept. 2 (AP).-
Federal investigating groups
sifted through a mass of evi-
dence today seeking the cause
of the crash of the Trans World
Airlines Constellation that
killed 78 persons. Officials did
not rule out the possibility that
the big airliner disintegrated
while still in the air.
I'VE can't afford to rule out
anything" said Melvin N.
Cough, safety director of the
Civil Aeronautics Board when
he was asked if sabotage was
being considered.
Mr.. Cough said it was sig
nificant, but he didn't say pre-
cisely how, that one piece of
the planes tail was 200 to 300
feet from the rest of the wreck
