There is fat ore reason to mark it than with other “day*". The American Indian is truly a “For gotten Man”, a* being one of the or ginai displaced persons (D.P.’s.) He needs our help! I have seen the Red Man on o n«ar his reservation from upper New York to lower New Mexico. He doe* not lead the romantic and gay life falsely accorded to him. Rather his life is drab and his future is b!e«k. We are told by anthropologists that “beyond reasonable doubt,” the Indians came into this New Wrorld, ah., at 5, 000 years ago by way of Alaska, from Siberia where practically the same type* exist. i ears ago, as the national frontiers advanced farther and farther west- 1 ward, Indians were rounded up by our 1 government and then herded together on reservations. (We’d call it “pro- ! tective custody" now). Crowded there 1 together, they have remained a neglec- 1 ted and forgotten people. Naturally, the better lands were not given them so their progress in self-support has been painfully slow. Ouf Near Neighbors The Indian population of 333,969 is now scattered all over the Nation, with larger reservations in 25 states.’ In 1900 there were but 237,198 after 846,00 (?) back in 1492. Thank God for the denominational gifts of schools, colleges, missions, hospitals, to minister to the Red Man ; in body mind, soul. Yet in spite of all their work, there is still a high inci dence of tuberculosis and high rates for deaths and illiteracy. A just fame is given the Indian for fascinating, ceremonial dances. They 1 usually are prayers to the Great Spirit ! for abnndant crops, healthy herds. ! rain. etc. The first, real American art wa< founded by these brothers with their handicrafts. They gave us, too, a love for the outdoors, “Indianlore", corn and tomatoes, potatoes and squash Every group makes a real gift. A Happier FuturSf?) There is, of course, prejudice on the part of some toward these benight ed people, as being of a “different race. As if that is enough reason to cause discrimination! Segregation can never make the highest type of citizens. Acquaintance, information, in- 1 terest, sympathy will lead us to the kind of cooperation demanded by a 1 democratic society. I 1 —and happily—there is 1 today much agitation to recognize the American Indian as one of our citi zens. He has many characteristics call ing for admiration. Too long has he ' j been a mere “ward” of this Nation. > 1 Surely, he is entitled to citizenship, j 1 As the W’etanaki se-^s; “N’-d ai 1 Matanaskiwi”, or, 1 am at the end, or my time ia up, so “Whileegan Ad- 1 loguee.” or goodbye.

Dr. Cotton To Lecture Central ‘Y* September 30 Dear Mr. Galloway: On September 30 Dr. Ethan Colton, just back from Europe, will be pass ing through Omaha—too good an op portunity to miss. So we are inviting 8 few friends to a 75 cents noon lunch eon at the “Y". His subject: “Ameri ca’s Role in Europe.” All of ns are concerned about world conditions and Dr. Colton has just re turned with firsthand information Colton is an author and keen observer. We are very fortunate in being able to get him to stop with us on his way through to visit relatives in South Da kota. He has had years of service in Europe and his message will be most worthwhile. There will be a question period at the clo&e. Sincerely, C. W. Mead, President General Secretary Mr. W. H. Mead Y. M. C. A. Building Omaha, Nebraska U. S. A. Dear Mead: This will report a bit on the first | hand observations I have been mak ing this summer. Each of the coun I t-'tes furnished special highlighting. [ France put on the national railway | strike while I was there. All Germany j is pathological, obviously deteriorated since a year ago. I have four weeks of contacts there, ten days in Poland, two weeks in Czechoslovakia. In both those countries the Marshall proposals and the Soviet negative had all hands agog. Now here in Britain the econ omic crisis dominates the thought and action of Government, Parties, Press, Radio and People. The dependence on A erica for action | that will start recovery is frightening. [ Not only has property and other forms erf wealth and the means to happiness /been ‘destroyed, but the very structure of society through which a nation reacts constructively i 10 disaster has been shaken to the | foundations. One wonders if our people are aole and willing to act ' comm on sura tely. If not, we will pass the pinnacle of our resources and pow er in a world falling into Communist hands. Nothing is so clear as that in the European picture. I am in Edinburgh for the YMCA World’s Committee Meeting of over 200 men from the scores of national fields. Probably no assembly wil have a sharper focus on the wide inter national situation as measures are studied and devised toward meeting youth’s s’spiritual needs and desires in our time. We have a sobering miss ion. And in the countries I have visit ed, the WoWrld Youth Fund i9 prov ing worth billions rather than millions in givng that lift to morale without which the Y. M. C. A. program would have to wait until the time of economic recovery was well advanced. And that in every country is a long way off. rhe expectation that the highest offic ials have of the Y. M. C. A.’s contri. bution to all around recovery is un precedented. In Poland the Roman Catholic hierarchy has changed from opposition to friendly approval. Well, I did not set out to display ny findings to such an extent, hut ather to let you know I will be flying Jack to arrive August 22nd. Shortly hen my schedule of engagements will >e building up. Wre didn’t connect in )maha last season. Shall we try again?

The Pepsi-Cola Scholarship program, which is nation-wide in ts scope is the most comprehensive program of its kind outside /of government subsidy. Endorsed by the Contest Committee of the National Association of Secondary School Principals, the program is plan, ned and administered by a group of distinguished educators known as the Pepsi-Cola Scholarship Board. This Board is incorporated separately from the Pepsi-Cola Company and has a» its president Floyd W. Reeves, profes sor of administration at the University of Chicago. The director of scholar ship program is John M. Stalnaker. professor of psychology at Stanford University, who has worked extensively in the field of testing and selection pro cedures. Although it is just naw going in>o its fourth year, the Pepsi-Cola scholar ship program is already sending 367 boys and girls to more than 140 col leges and universities for four years of undergraduate work, and 1,800 other students have been encourages to con tinue their education through winning the College Entrance Awards.

CLARK ASKED TO HALT ILLEGAL USE OF FEDERAL FUNDS FOR DRAFT PROPAGANDA - i NEW' YORK —The intensive propa- , panda for conscription launched by the American Legion at is convention here “raises the question of whether the War Department is still illegally using federal funds for enactment of universal military training.” So stated Rowland Watts, acting national secretary of the Worker; De fense League in a letter calling upon Tom Clark, 0. S.- attorney general, to initiate proceedings to stop these practices. Such action has already been urged upon Clark by Representative Forest A. Harness, chairman of the Subcommittee of the Committee on Ex penditures in the Executive Depart ments, who points out that use of Federal funds for influencing federal legislation is illegal under section 201, Title 18 of the 11. S. Code. “Ample evidence that such illegal expenditures were made during the I first half of 1947 is contained in the Subcommittee’s report.” Watts pointed ' out. 1 One case cited in the report is that of Alan Coutte, a civilian employe r.f the War Department, who “toured the | country at the ta payers’ expense, ( conducting radio panels and speaking ( to groups wherever and whenever they Hew women W girls may get wanted relief from functional periodic pain CaKial is a liquid medicine wtiMa Many women say has brought relief them the uarr.p K» Maaer and nervous strr/m •f fmfcdfcpal periodic distress, ■•re’s k*w'it may help: g ^’fSthea. like a tonic, it * abotzM s iterate te appe tite, aid digestion,* | thus help htuid resist* 4;v' »"«• for the "time'’ te , eeme. ’ * * ^ — Started 3 fe;ys hefeae ^ "your time”, it should help relieve pain due i |p I oouid be assembled" in favor of coa scription.
