The Indians life was passed in
the open air and in close contact
with nature. He drew his sus-
tenance from the earth and from the
wild creatures that lived upon it.
He was part of nature, and
better than anything else he knew
nature. A close and const antly
Watchful observer, nothing escaped
his eye. He read signs of the
earth and the sky, and the move
mentS of birds and animals, knew
what these things meant, and
governed his acts by what these
signs told him. Though a close
observer, he was not a reasoner.
Things were constantly happening
all about him that he could not ex-
plain--that were mysterious. The
causes he explained to account for
these things were fantastic. He
assigned some especial power to
almost every object in nature. The
sun, the moon, and the stars were
persons. Birds and animals might
transfer to him their power to do
certain things, or when they uttered
their cries he believed that they
spoke to him - and in language
that he understood - of things that
were happening at a distance or
that were to take place in the
future.
Things that he could not explain
he greatly feared, or rather he
feared the power that caused them.
He feared the mysterious dangers
that surrounded him: the arrow
sent by the thunder - the light
ming - the darts of disease that
might be shot into him by some
spirit lurking near a spring, or
the underwater monsters that
might seize and drag him down as
he was crossing lake.
Because the Indi an feared these
mysterious things he prayed con-
stantly that he might escape these

Peace Corps
Positions Open

Would you like to serve as
Peace Corps Volunteer in Cuate-
mala7 Are you between the ages
of 18 and 257 Do you have farm
background, All or FLA exper-
ience? Have you had experience or
training in farm operatives? Did
you take courses in agriculture
or home economics in college?
C. L. Isaacson, Agricultural Ex-
tension agent for Apache County,
says if your answer is ''yes"
to the first two questions and one
or more of the others you should
apply now.
Volunteers in Guatemala will
not be required to demonstrate
very high proficiency in any spe-
cific technical field. They will
try to show the Guatemalans how
to better their way of life. En-
courage gentle hints,
convincing demonstr ations and
friendship will be more important
than college degrees. The Volun-
teers will try to get the people
to experiment for themselves, and
ON THEIR OWN to utilize the
human, financial and technical re-
sources whi ch the CO untry
possesses.
The great majority of farm
families live in the India heart

dangers, and, in that sense, he was
one of the most religious of men.
He const antly implored the help of
the unseen powers, and made sac
rifices to them to win their favor.
AS with most primitive people, he
believed that Suff ering and
sacrifice were likely to win the
favor of the superior powers, and
the most acceptable sacrifice was
that which man most highly
valued = his own body - and so the
Indian often inflicted suffering on
himself. When starting off on the
warpath, each man, as he prayed
for success, might offer to the
higher powers a strip of skin cut
from his arm.
The India ans reput alton for fer
ocity comes from people who have
not seen much of him. He is much
like other people in the world -
kindly and friendly to those he
likes, and sullen and revengeful
toward those he considers foes.
No injury was too severe to be
inflicted on an enemy, while, for
a friend, he would make any sac
rifice - would starve and tight and
die. Indian children we're taught
never to quarrel with their fellows,
but to be always good-natured, and
not to lose temper under any cir
cum ances. In some tribes
children were taught songs whose
purport was that children should
walk through life. side by side, with
affection and helpfulness one to-
ward another.
This was the teaching, the
feeling and the rule of action of an
Indian camp, yet. as in every other
group of people, there were differ
ences in character among the
people in an Indian camp. Some
were always cheerful, kind, polite,
and friendly; others at times were
morose. Some were harum-
scarum, jokers, mischievous all
their lives long, while others were
serious, grave, and well-balanced.

Almost every business or social

An estimated 20 million Ameri-

But the figures don't tell the

Ashes of Anchorage
 esident to Be Scattered Atop Mt. Mckinley

ANCHORAGE lR -- Ashes of a longtime Anchorage resident are destined to be scattered acros the snows of the continents highest mountain.
 The often expressed wish of George l.. Jenkins, who died Jan. Is in the Veterans Hospital in Portland. Ore, was that Mt. Me- Kinley be his final resting place. His sor-in-law, Fred Oates of An chorage, is handling the arrange ments.
 Jenkins was resident of An chorage from 1915 to 1944, ex- cepting for a three-year period he spent overseas in World War I. He worked on the construction of the Alaska railroad from it's beginning, landing on the mud flats of Ship Creek when An chorage was only a group of tents in the area where the railroad yards are now located.
 He was the first conductor and first trainmaster for the railroad, as the train made it's regular run, "Jenks" would often look up at the mountain which he called "so high and clean" according to Oates.
 Jenkins was married to the for mer Mae Cunningham in 1925. She was school teacher in the An chorage school system. Mrs. Jen- kins died two years ago.
 In 1914, Jenkins retired from the railroad and moved to Eu- gene, Ore.
