Youth Must Be Shonq

these mistakes but they be-
come confused and do not know
what to do.
Why are we confused?? More
than 20 years ago to this day
our people have preached the
word EDUCATION to us. The
people form an education com
mittee and their purpose is to
express to the young people
there is a need for educated
young men and women on this
reservation to carry on rela-
tionship with the outside busi-
ness world properly. i. Next
thing we know they BLAST
us with these words. ''You
have acquired a college edu-
cation and have experienced
the practices outside the re-
serVation. Why do you,
when we, your very own people
hire you to work for the
Apache Tribe try to work a
gainst us with what you have
learned?..." ="
Isn't it a FACT that you, our
very own people, encouraged
us to be taught and learn the
practices of the fast changing
world, so we may help you I'M
derstand the problems that ex-
iSt?
Fellow tribesmen let us look
forward for the future of our

Joe Bulls, Tribal judge, has
some advice for children and
their parents. He points out
that during the summer months
juvenile delinquency is a prob
lem on the reservation. Last
summer 249 juvenile arrests
were made during the four
summer months MAY through
August) compared to less than
20 such arrests during the 9th
er eight months.
During the summer a lot of
kids have nothing to do. So
frequently they wander off and
get together. Then they try
drinking and ask boys who are
over 81 to buy drinks for them.
This usually happens on the
Weekends. Judge Bulls feels
that the kids should have some
thing to do on Weekends.
AS a member of the Bylas
Recreation Committee, Joe Bull
lis is sorry that more dances
are not sponsored for the chill
dren on Saturday nights. The
weekly dances were stopped,

News that is going around
about what is happening to the
San Carlos Indian Reservation.
The new administration is on
the move to accomplish the
seemingly impossible, which
may some day materialize as
space age activities on the res
ervation. This might be the
answer for our future genera
ton.
1t means that we as an
Apache people have to forget
about ourselves; forget about
our past and quit yapping about
it, but do something construc-
tive.
We are in the rural remote
section of the state of Arizona
and to make ready for Ari-
zona industrial development, we
must have renewed coopera-
ton from you, the Apache peo-
pie, on the San Carlos Reserva-
ton. But this progress can be
lost for many reasons.
Some reasons are: lack of
cooperation, lack of understand
ing, not being ready as an org
anization, narroW-mindedness,
not having solid and long range
planning. We know we can't
do it alone as a member of the
Tribal Council.

Out on Relocation

learn that one of our recent re-
locateeS to Dallas is doing very
we'll. Jasper Hunter went to
Dallas with enthusiasm and a
strong desire to improve his
emplOyability and gain perm
anent employment in a suitable
field.
On May Is, his supervisor
gave Jasper a pat on the back
and found that he had been re-
porting early, so rewarded him
with time and a half pay allow
ance for the time he had been
putting in extra. We at
San Carlos are proud of Jasper
and sincerely hope that more
people will use this as an ex-
ample, when they seek employ
ment opportunities off of the
reservation.
Recent reports from Dallas
indicate that Otto Rustin and
Lydia Duncan are both doing
very we'll in their respective
training fields. Otto was re-
Gently moved to more spacious
apartment at 1921 NE 36th
Street in Ft. Worth. Lydia says
she is extremely happy in her
training as a vocational nurse
and is signing up for additional
classes at the Y.M.C.A.
We here at the Employment
Assistance Office would like to
emphasize that we are very
proud of the fine reports that
we receive from the Field Of
fices and although we do have
people who do not make a sue
cess out of our program, it is
not discouraging to us. 1t does
cause us to give special atten-
tlon to the faults in our pro-
gram, and in the fault of the in
dividualS we serve. Seeking off
reservation employment is a big
step to many of these people. It
is step that hould not be taken
lightly. Through the opportuni-
ty we provide lies large pro-
portion of your life'S activity.
The decision you make now
can very easily either bolster
your earning power or destroy
large portion of it. We want
you to use our services but at
the same time give a great deal
of thought to your decision to
use our services. Keep in mind
the fact that your success de-
pends on you and only through
a good concept of being on time
for your work, giving your en-
plOyer his moneys worth while
you are on the job and saving
a little of your earnings for
those days when you are no
longer emplOyable will you un-
lock the door to a successful
career in employment.

The following people have
recently departed from the San
Carlos Reservation to pursue
employment opportunities in
off-reservation urban areas
where employment has been
relatively high this spring.
Hiawatha Nosie went to
Phoenix on May Is.
Jasper Hunter went to Dallas
on May 6.
Evans Sisto went to Phoenix
on May 8.
Hart Preston went to Phoenix
on May 25.
Ambrose Hoffman went to
Phoenix on May 20.
Arnold Victor went to Cleve-
land on May Is.
Joseph Bush went to Dallas
on May 6.
Lambert Harvey went to
Phoenix on May %.
Wilbert Steele went to Dallas
on May %.
Patsy Howe went to Phoenix
on May Is.
Johnnie Patten went to Los
Angeles on June 4.
Marylita Meade went to Chi
cagO on June 3.
One of the services which has
not been utilized to a very great
extent and a very suitable one
is the direct assistance our local
offices can render to individuals
who, through their own initia-
tive are able to locate suitable
employment. The best way to
explain this is to take an actual
case of one of the San Carlos
ApacheS who have gone out on
their own and found employ
ment. We are very proud of
James Phillips, who on his own
initiative pursued employment
in Salt Lake City, Utah. James
went to Salt Lake on his own
for a personal interview for a
position of Nursing Assistant.
The personnel officer at the Vet
erans Hospital in Salt Lake was
impressed with James and pro-
vided him with the necessary
papers to complete and told him
to await a final decision as to
his appointment.
James came to our office and
stated what he had done. We
offered our assistance and pro-
cessed his application. James
reported to work on the morn
ing of June 10, in Salt Lake
City. Mr.. Phillips will find suit
able housing for his family and
after careful planning will have
them join him in Salt Lake City
at a later date. This is a civil
service position and will offer
possibilities of advancement.

Editorial Policy

The Editorial Board is pri-
marily concerned that the
Apache Drumbeat serve the en-
tire reservation community in
the best possible manner. 1t is
with this in mind that we
make this statement of policy:
1. We will do our utmost to
print all stories submitted to
us by residents of the reserva-
ton and by all members Of
the San Carlos Apache Tribe,
whether they live on the res
ervation or not. The newspaper
is for all members of the com
munity, and all should feel free
to contribute to it. The only
exceptions to this rule will be
(a) if a story is libelous or if
we know it to be untrue; (b)
if the writer is not willing to
have his name signed to a story
which contains matters of Opin-
ion as well as fact; (c) if a
story violates our policy on
church news; (d) if we absO-
lutely don't have room for a
story in the paper.
2. We will print stories as
nearly as possible in the way
they are submitted to us. Our
editorial staff will, however,
feel free to correct English
usage, when necessary, and to
cut stories so as to be able to
fit them into the space avail
able to us. Every effort will be
made to print all stories, even
if they have to be cut, rather
than eliminating some of the
stories entirely. Writers can
help us by writing the most i'm
portant part of their stories at
the beginning and the less inn
portant material toward the
end. This makes it easier to cut
story.
8. We recognize that it is
difficult to write news of a
Christian church without refer
ring to the Christian religion,
and we recognize that some
times an article about church
activities and Christian exper-
fences may help and comfort
some of the people on the res
ervation who do not attend
church regularly. Nevertheless,
we ask that authors of church
news refrain from discussing
matters of doctrine which
would be of interest only to
members of that particular
church. We also ask that any
material which might be con-
strued as proselytizing or
tempting members of one
church to join another be
omitted from church news. If,
in the opinion of two or more
members of the Editorial
Board, any given story violates
this policy, we may return it
to the author to be rewritten.
4. Unlike newspapers with
staff who are paid to write
stories, the Apache Drumbeat
has the policy of giving by
lines to all the authors of stor-
les, whenever possible. This is
in recognition of the commun-
ity service which they perform
in making the newspaper pos
Sible. If tn author of a story
does not wish to have his
name signed to a story, we will
omit the by-line, providing the
story is one of fact (tellS what

Ne,U School Going Up
 At Pt. Hope

According to Billy Weber, most of the men at Point Hope are working on the construction of a new school being built there The laborers are making $3.51 per hour.
 "This will be a good thing for Point Hope. They will be able to get the things they need,' said Weber.
 Weber said that the Native Store there was running short of milk. coffee, salt, and other things. He said the store has been flying milk in from Kotzebue to supply the village.
 Weber is in Fairbanks after be- ing notified by the Laborer's Union and is waiting to be called for a job. He said that if his work lasts several months he plans to send for his family to come to Fairbanks to stay temporarily.

 This year they are doubling their gardening and community improve ment efforts.
 Last year the villagers planted 1000 lbs. of potatoes and received a ten-fold return. This year the vil- lage is planting a ton of potatoes
 Last year the village had the as- siStance of Richard Birchell. the BIA teacher and his wife, both with farming backgrounds. This year the teacher is on vacation and the will lagers are on their own.
 This year the village is building a large, 20 by 40 feet greenhouse and already has many plarte in f ready for setting out The village has already gotten more land in shape for cultivation One of the keys of the operation is sufficient fertilizer and irriga- tion The land is leveled and water is pumped from the river into irri- gation ditches.
 Each of Venetie's g families have their own garden and it is almost a contest to see which family can pro- duce the most produce Last year the village produced a total of $6- 400 worth of vegetables. This year the villagers are hoping to double that production.
 The effect of Venetie's success is being felt in other villages.
 Birch Creek is doing more gard ening. The Chief of Beaver has bought about 600 pounds of seed potatoes and gardening is increasing there this year

 The federal agencies at Barrow as we'll as the Arctic Research Labora- tory are making available equip ment to be used on the street pro- ject and other projects.
 Dependable Power
 In May of this year Golden Val ley Electric Association decided they would expand to Barrow. The project will cost about $500,0O0.
 This weekend about $75,0OO worth of equipment, including poles. wire, and transformers, were loaded aboard the North Star for delivery to Barrow in early September. Im- mediately thereafter Golden Valley Electric Association supervisory personnel, utilizing as much local labor as possible, will construct the power distribution system and con- struct a power plant building. Two 75-kiloWatt generators to be used on temporary basis will be flown to Barrow. It is hoped that power Will be available in about six weeks thereafter or sometime in October.
 Options To Buy
 Golden Valley Electric Associa- tlon has an option to buy the two small generating plants now in op- eration at Barrow, one owned by the Barrow Cooperative Store and the other by the Barrow Power and Light Co,
 Next fall Golden Valley Electric Association plans to ship to Barrow two 500-kilowatt generators. The generators can be operated either with diesel or natural gas.
 Golden Valley Electric Associa- tion system will be tied in with the present system belonging to the federal government and power will be sold to the agencies. At present the agencies power facilities have just about reached maximum out put and additional generating fa- cilities are needed.
 Eventually it is felt that the Golden Valley Electric system will be taken over by the village council at Barrow and operated as coop erative member of the Rural Elec- trification Association.
 Browerville will be included in the village townsite and it's residents will also have power available.
 New Airport
 In addition to new streets and house arrangements, in the near future Barrow is to get an airport the money for which was approved in a recent state bond issue. About 800 acres adjoining the village has been withdrawn for this purpose.
 One of the critical problems of Barrow is that there is little room for expansion for homes because of the large number of federal with drawals.

The Statehood Act provided for the transfer of roughly 103 million acres of land from the federal gov- ernment to the state within 25 years, he pointed out, with the federal government surveying about mil- lion acres year.
 "The federal government has fail- ed and failed lamentably up to now to dispatch it's responsibility under the law because it has surveyed only about million acres a year."
 "The state has not yet come into possession of land which will make possible the acquiring of land by individuals, groups, businesses, and industries"
 Bartlett then commented at length on ELM vs. state dispute over the surveying of exterior boundaries of state selections. When the first territories became states, he said they received only 5R per cent of the land from the federal government; that the last four ter- rltorieS admitted as states previous to Alaska received II per cent of the land. But he pointed out in these instances, the federal gov- ernment provided costly interior surveys.
 vyith Alaska, he saia the forrnu1as tl io h1 were completely scraped. He said Alaska was given the right to se- feet 27 per cent of the land, about 3 times as much as any other terri. tory, but in exchange for this right the federal government was not re- quired to perform the intensive in- terior surveys that it had done in the other states.
 He said that the state was requir- ed to select tracts not smaller than 5,760 acres and the ELM would pro- vide the exterior surveys of these tracts. Ever since he said there had been a quarrel between the state and the ELM - that the ELM had disregarded the direction of the statehood act and sought to force the state to select tracts of from 10000 to 50.000 acres.
 Bartlett said he had inscribed in the current Appropriations Bill eX- press language directing the ELM to comply with the law -- that he felt the long standing dispute would be settled as soon as the Appropria- tions Bill was passed.

 Mark Hunt, chief engineer, Gold en Velley Electric Association, and William King, construction engineer, will be in charge of the construct ing the power plant and distribu- ton system for GVEA.
 Men Selected
 Golden Valley has already se- lected two Barrow men to be brought to Fairbanks for four months intensive training. Later they will be given additional train- ing as the Barrow electric system goes into operation.
 Eventually one is slated to become Division Supervisor of GVEA at Barrow and the other will become his assistant. They will run the system with periodic help and as- sistance from the GVEA Fairbanks just as is done in the case of Delta Junction and Nenana.
 Lagoon Dam
 There are also long range plans for a sanitary disposal system and water supply system for Barrow by the US. Public Health Service. U.SP.H.S. is already stockpiling gravel for dam to be buitl across the lagoon separating Barrow pro- per from Browerville.
 It is planned for the north DOT tion of the lagoon to receive and treat sewage and the lower portion of the lagoon to become suitable as fresh water supply.
 Water is now being brought into the village in a number of ways. John Nusunginya has water busi- ness bringing water in the summer to the village and ice in the winter from a lake 31s miles south of town Some Barrow people use ice from pressure ridges for water.

 They realized if they panicked, they would not fare so well. These na- tives were the independent type. They did not like to be showed around. At times they grew inn patient.
 Remembering the admonition their companion had given them, they had to stay calm in spite of mistreatment and tense feeling. Af- ter several days, they landed at some place that was itself the be- ginning of a long journey.
 They were always guarded and most of the time at the point of gun and bayonet. They never knew where their next meal would come from.
 The women managed to sew a few items to exchange for things they needed and yet once in a while some peasant would beg for tea.
 After travelling for months, they reached the border of China were they were transferred. The treat ment was somewhat not too severe but they were still under guard.
 All that time they were under tremendous strain of uncertainty. not knowing how they were going to be treated and what their next destination would be. They never knew whether they were to be shot or wake up - alive.
 The two younger men had been to school and knew a little some thing about the flag, but not to the extent of what the flag really stood for. The older men had hardly ever attended school. They did know though that the flag was the symbol of the friendly greeting and the shake hand.
 So the journey continued on and on day after day. Finally they were told that the next stop would be Shanghai.
 Upon entering the city, they mo- ticed there were innumerable flags of different origin flying.
 One of these times when they lol- ed they were approaching a build ing and in the midst of other flags there was the good old glory hang ing. They got off and were so happy, they cried and hugged each other declaring. We are safe and tree" What a feeling of relief and securi- ty they must have shared and eX- perienced at that moment!
 The American consul took charge from then on. The people were ship ped back to Seattle, then the U. $. M s. Boxer on it's journey to the North to deliver supplies to schools brought these natives back to their homes, to Kotzebue and Pt Hope.
 Listening to those people relate their experiences during the ordeal their Siberian and China journey keeps one spellbound.
 If these men who are sometimes termed as unciviliZed, can declare the U. s. flag stood at all times for freedom and security, no wonder soldiers at the risk of their lives on battlefields seeing a flag fall ing, ran and held the pole to keep good old glory flying.
 And yet many of us have a ten dency to overlook the significance of the flag. We walk by unnoticing the flag being hoisted and lowered.
