When you are deep in sleep
your body processes slow to mimi
mum rate, for this is the time of
restoring your vital forces. Your
breathing becomes shallower. Your
blood pressure is usually lower.
Your pulse drops, perhaps as much
as 20 to 30 beats a minute. Your
body temperature lowers about a
degree. And your brain waves dimin.
ish to typical sleep pattern.
The transition from wakefulness
to sleep may take from seconds up
to more than an hour. If you're an
average good sleeper, you'll find that
about one night in 10 you need from
aquarter to a half hour longer to fall
asleep. Or perhaps you're one of the

dams of various types were con-
structed. Twenty-three other
structures for erosion control
were installed. Juniper control
was effected over 800 acres.
486 acres were seeded to Blue
Gamma Grass. Fills and cuts
were seeded with Vine Mesquite
Grass for erosion control.
While the camp site was at
the Smith Park Area the boys
assisted in preparing the lake
site for HaWley Lake. At the
Paradise Park area, work pro-
jects consists of timber i'm
provement, including the prun-
ing and thinning of young trees
and the piling of underbrush
building of dams on Paradise
Creek, road improvement, camp
ground improvement, log cut
ting, and camp projects in
SpeCldl ShlllS.
THE PARADISE Creek camp
site is being developed into a
permanent youth camp area.
Construction of "a" frame cab
inS, to replace temporary tent
lodgings, was begun in the
summer of 1861. Other frame
buildings include a kitchen and
storage structures.
The camp is located in a
wooded area on the banks of
Paradise Creek. This location
places the boys in a forest pro-
viding work opportunities for
years to come, as well as ample
opportunity for outdoor recre-
alton.
The scout camp now being
used by the girls, provides ade-
quate housing of a permanent
nature. There are eleven sleep

until 500 pm. under the super
vision of the technical advisor.
Upon returning to camp in
the evening the boys prepared
supper. After supper they par
ticipated in athletic events,
such as, Softball and football,
under the supervision of camp
advisor.
The boys were allowed to 60
home every other weekend.
TO MAINTAIN interest while
at work, boys were rotated from
job to job. Morale was high
and only two boys failed to
finish the ten weeks program.
More boys wished to attend
than the program would accom-
modate and the camp was COM
pleted with a full enrolment.
The first camp session set
the pattern for those to follow
in terms of work achievement.
During that first summer "a

ing cabins with fireplaceS, a
shower building, and a large
central building.
This latter building houses
the kitchen and dining hall and
provides space for work pro-
jectS, hobby activities and re-
creation.
Camps opened this summer
on Monday, June 4. The first
session terminated on June
20. The second session, with
new enrollees, started on July
9 and ends August 3.
Changes were made in the
supervisory staff for the youth
camps this year. The help of
more personnel from Theodore
Roosevelt School was enlisted.
Plans were made to use these
people in supervising camp
work projects, apart from the
forestry phase, and in conduct
ing academic training and hob
by projects.
The camp program for boys
this year has much to offer the
youths enrolled. Weekdays be-
gin with reveille at 800 am.
Roll call and salute to the flag
are held at 6:15, followed by
ten minutes of caliSthenicS. The
boys then prepare for breakfast
which is served at 700.
A new feature has been add
ed to the program this year in
the form of academic studies. A
one hour study period, supervis-
ed by teacher personnel, is held
from 800 to 900 am.
Work call is now at 900 am.
Noon lunch break is from 11:30
to 1890. After lunch the boys
return to work until 4:3O. Work

THE PROGRAM began in the
Amos Wash area, west of Fort
Apache, was moved to Smith
Park and the Hawley Lake
area, and then to the present
location at Paradise Park.
Girls did not participate in
the program until the summer
of 1858. Their camp was located
at Theodore Roosevelt School
until June of 1862, when it was
moved to the scout camp near
Blue Lake.
The 1856 boys camp consist
ed of prefab buildings for cook
shack and dining hall, and four
16 x 16' tents for sleeping
quarters. Sanitary facilities were
constructed army style.
Boys rose at 6 am, perform
ed required duties, participated
in caliSthenticS, and had break

Supper is served at AS. A
special flag lowering service,
followed by roll call, is held at

activities until 700 pm.
These activities include base
ball, volleyball, football, horse
shoes, fishing, and hiking. A
movie, sometimes a double fea-
ture, is shown one night each
week at camp. Hobby groups
are to be started as soon as
supplies arrive.
LIGHTS ARE OUT at 900
pm, followed by bed check at
9:15.
Students are in camp two
weekends of each period. They
return home on the second
weekend.
The first Saturday and Sun
day in camp of this year was
full of activity for the boys.
They took an excursion to the
Petrified Forest and Painted
Desert, paid social call at the
girls camp, and took in movie
at McNary.

PARADISE CREEK - A
summer youth camp for Apache
youngsters has been in effect
now on the Fort Apache Res
ervatiOn since the summer of
1856.
Then, as now, it has been
described as IAN experience in
the development of human and
natural resources"
The program is designed to
provide employment, economic
improvement, and opportunity
for social development for jun
ior and senior high school and
post-high school youths.
At the same time, the Apache
Tribe is benefited through the
development and conservation
of natural resources of the res
ervation. A study of the history
of the youth camp project
shows how we'll these goals are
being achieved.
DURING THE SPRING of
1856, the Tribal Council Branch
of Land Operations, and Branch
of Education, under the lead
ership of Superintendent Haw-
ley, initiated the program.
Mr.. Hawley had recognized
the need of Indian youths on
this and other reservations on
which he had worked.
The cooperation of the tribe
and BIA Agencies provided him
with the opportunity to realize
these plans.

De Lugo Replies to
OttleY's Radio Speech
on Redpportionment

on Redpportlonmen
Ron de Lugo, Democratic
Democratic National Commit
teeman for the Virgin Islands,
returned % his office yester-
day, after a weekend in the
Dominican Republic.
Upon Mr.. de Lugo,s return
he said that he was amazed at
a number of statements made
BY Senator Earle ,. Ottley in
a radio address delivered last
Friday night over Radio Sta
ton VISTA.
Ottley is quoted by the Dai-
y News as having said that
de Lugo was dishonest in his
contention that reapportion-
ment would put St. Croix at a
disadvantage. Ottley claimed
that ST. Croix had more regis
tered voters than st. Thomas.
The National Committeeman
said the Senator's statement
that St. Croix has more regis
tered voters than ST Thomas
a statement whic hhas been
repeated by the St. Croix
branch Of the Unity Party
is deliberately misleading and
less than honest. de Lugo said
that he was shocked that an
astute politician such as Sena-
tor Ottley would make such a
statement. No one is more
aware of the political facts OF
life on the island Of St. Tho
mas than Senator Ottley, he
said, who has run the Party
on that Island for many years.
Therefore, Mr.. de Lugo said,
he could only conclude that
Senator Ottleys statement was
a calculated one intended to
deceive and confuse the peo-
ple-particularly of St. Croix.
Senator Ottley knows
only too well', de Lugo said,
that hundreds more voted in
St. Thomas in the last election

than in St. Croix, and despite
a concerted effort to get out
the vote in St. Croix, only 66.7
