The highway commissioner for
the Gallup area advised Gallup
Mayor Edward that primary funds
covering construction of a Gallup
overpass have been allocared by the
commi ssion for expenditure during
the 1962-63 budget of the commits

A petition bearing 734 names
had been accepted by the town
board. This petition requested an
overpass over the Santa Fe Rail-
road tracks in Gallup.
Munoz said, ''The problem of
obtaining an overpass has beenf full
of pitfalls and discouragements,
However, during the past three
years tremendous progress has
been made toward ma king this

A plan set up two years ago
to construct the overpass as a

and found what he wanted in
a most surprising place - an
electric shaver. Norelco's rotary
action, which eliminates vibra-
ton and is designed for shaw
ing comfort, proved to give the
smooth performance he was
looking for. In order to make
sure that the instrument was
easy to hold, he selected a
Woman's model - the Coquette,
because of it's easily-held cylin-
drical shape.
In using this new device (cre-
ated by removing shaving head
and inserting a surgical knife),
the doctor found another boon:
the operation could be per-
formed in less time. A cut
of 75% to 8O% in operating
time is vital to both doctor
and patient.
Today, the selected cases
where corneal transplants work
are infinitely more certain of
success thanks to three things:
more donors, the development

The transfer is such a delicate

This led to the tragedy of sight

Plans Mode for Coconino Caverms

The Coconino CavernS, found in
northern Arizona, could very well
rival the famed Carlsbad Caverns,
in New Mexico, in size and beauty,
according to two of the worlds
foremost authorities on cave ex-
ploration.
These speculations were made
by Charles H. Dunning of Phoenix,
Arizona, former director of the
Arizona Department of Mineral
Resources and the contractor who
sank the first elevator shaft at
Carlsbad Caverns and Thomas c.
Miller, Carlsbad, assistant super
intendent of the Carlsbad Caverns.
This statement was made by the
men after inspecting specimens
of selenite crystals unearthed last
week by miners digging in the shaft
for the new elevator at the CO.
conino Caverns. Thecrystals we're
discovered by the miners as they
hit the 18O foot level of the pro-
pOSGu EOO IOCt SIldIC.
The selenite crystals area asso-
ciated with CaVernS of a deeper
level than Coconino Caverns. They
are found at a depth of 300 feet
in the Carlsbad Caverns. Both
Carlsbad and Coconino are in the
same Mississippian geologic for
nation. The upper levels of the
Carlsbad Caverns greatly re-
semble the explored levels Of CO.
conino CavernS.
During the last months visit to
Coconino, Dunning noted the SIM
ilarity of the formations to those
of Carlsbad. There we're definite
indication that lower levels in all
probability exist below the pre-
Sently explored chambers.
Dunning's feelings about the ex-
istence of lower lever were
verified by Miller two weeks later.
A widely known expert on develop
ment of caves for the last 35years,
Miller looked over the crystals af-
ter exploring the caverns.
There's definitely something
down there" Miller said. "It's
(Coconino Caverns) hardly been
scratched"
Arizona-New Mexico Develop
ment Corporation has retained the
two men as advisors in develop
ment of the CavernS. The two
men, according to William M. Lid
don, president, are among the most
qualified men in their field.
The corporation intends to con-
tinue exploration for lower levels
and develop them as they are found.
The extent of lower levels at this
time is undetermined, he added, bu1
said they could go for miles ano
exist as far down as 1 800 feet,
The indicatio of deeper cav
erns was hole drilled 100 yards
from the entrance of the cavernS

which hit a void of some kind at
$50 feet. The updraft of air here
is strong enough TO keep paper
bounding over the hole. This hole
apparently goes to an unexplored
room which at the present is not
accessible from the mail 1900
square foot chamber.
Location of Coconino Caverns is
IS miles west of Seligman, Ari-
zona, half mile off u. S. Highway
66. $93 900 has already been spent
by the Arizona-New Mexico De-
velopment Corporation in the de-
velopment of the caverns and plan
to spend an additional $1,000

Education Group Meets

A four-day conference onNava-

Main topics under discussion
we're the high rate of absenteeism
and truancy in reservation school.
Another topic of importance is the
problem of corporal punishment
in schools and the Tribes stand
on the subject.
All mission, public and Bureau
of Indian Affairs schools on the
reservation were covered by the
conference.

cation committee, Samuel Billison,

Easy to Bvild Roof

SaWmill and yard operators
who air-dry lumber can liter
ally put the roof on losses
caused by warpage, staining,
and uneven drying, changing
losses to profits, according to
recent tests conducted by the
Central States Forest Expert
mental Station in southe n
Illinois.
Tests in this case employed
flat roofs of galvanized steel
sheets which offered strength,
economy, and long life. The re-
suits show that warpage, which
caused serious losses in the
!. upper tiers of non-roofed piles,
was practically nonresident in
rooted piles, and that staining
.vas heavier in non-roOfed
lumber.
Drying proceeded at a more
! uniform rate with the rooted
lumber, which reached the fiber
saturation point II days sooner
& than the non-roofed lumber.

Of corrosion-resistant galvan-
lied steel sheets can be built
for about $25 and placed on
piles by one forklift operator.

roof is extremely easy. It con-

Badly Trsstsd by AnsrieaRs

Assistant Interior Secretary
John A. Carver Jr., said Ameri-
cans are treating the Indian more
shamefully than the pioneers did
during the bloody frontier days.
Overseer of the Bureau of In
dian Affairs, Carver, said that in
some cases the government is
, carrying on basically discrimiha-
tory practices.
''Why are Americans who have
fought the hardest to erase this
pattern from the fabric of Ameri-
can life for Negroes, Jews and
other minority groups quite often
found in the vanguard of those de-
1 manding special treatment for the
Indians9' he asked.
These remarks were included in
a speech at the annual meeting of
the Association on American In
dian Affairs.
4 Carver cited discrimination
near Indian reservations, COM
!. mercial exploitation Of arts and
J crafts, segregated hospitals and
schools, and a general attitude of
treating Indians in special way
simply because they are Indians.
els it possible that we are
: beating our breasts and wearing
the hair hirt for the way the
pioneers drove the Indians from the
lands and herded them to the re-
servations SO that we won't have
to face the more stark shame of
the way we are treating Indians
today2" he asked.
This list was suggested by Car
YER for the government conduct
-<of Indian affairs:
R Especial services provided to
Indians simply because they are
Indians will tend to 'isolate the
Indians more and more from
the mainstream of American life.
Indian land should be managed
at the tribal level because allOt--
.ment of land to individual Indians
is "a cruel and misguided hoax
based on a premise of an agrarian
Indian society unrealstic at the
outset and archaic today"
The so-called termination
rpolicy of cutting off government
help to certain Indians on spe-
-ucific date is unfair and has caused
hardships.
Government programs must
be tailored to the needs of indi-
vidual tribes.
I'VE must get far away from
paternalism. We have the duty of
promoting self-government under
. tribal constitutions. To my way
of thinking, freedom of self
government includes freedom to
make mistakes. We must get Out
of tribal politics and stay out of
tribal politics.

After a discussion with the

There's an accomplished stu
dent of history in the White

to fill gaps in United States
understanding of Africa and
Asia than some people realize.
A major problem facing
scholars and scientists alike is
the imminent danger they face
of disappearing under a flood
of their own printed words
which is one thing the Ameri-
can Historical Association and
Samuel Flagg BemiS are con-
stantly concerned about.
