BORGER—Two colorful, spec-
tacular pageants, packed full of
rapid-fire action will feature the
Adobe Walls Indian Ceremonials
here on Oct. 16, 19.
Weird Indian dances, as shown
in photo, will feature the pageants
which will be held on Friday and
Saturday evenings, Oct. 17, 18.
Mark Hamilton, known through
out the Southwest for his ability
as a producer, says that the pag-
eants have more action than any
s’SSfows he has yet produced.
Depicting the battle of Adobe
Walls, the pageants will have a
cast of over 200 Indians and ap-
proximately 150 white people. The
Indians will be garbed in native
costume while enacting the bat-
tle scenes and presenting their
dances.
Adding splendor to the pag-
eants black light will be used to
brilliantly illuminate fluorescent
painted characters. Black light
has been used in such shows as
the Gallup, N. M., Inter-Tribal
ceremonials, the Dallas Ice Re-
vue and many other outstanding
attractions, and at all occasions
has been overwhelmingly ac-
claimed by experts in lighting ef-
fects.
The show also includes 4 8 girls
presenting a star ballet, in which
the girl’s costumes include hun-
dreds of glittering stars which
are painted with fluorscent.
Besides the pageants, the Bor-
ger celebration will include two
street parades on Friday and Sat-
urday and an Indian monument
dedication, the latter to be staged
on Sunday at the Adobe Walls
battle site located about 15 miles
northeast of Borger. Approxi-
mately 600 Indians will be here
from Oklahoma reservations to
participate in the celebration.
were times when he was lonesome
and miserable, and he howled and
howled, There were times when
he was hungry and then he was
very, very miserable. Any every
now and then he got blamed for
something that Bijoy or Fifine
did. But no matter what his troub-
les were, when Tommy came,
everything was all right again.
For, as Muffins says, “I was his
dog, and he loved me and thought
I was cute, even if nobody else did
like me or want to have me around
There came a time however when
Mtiffins didn’t have Tommy, and
life was very different then. If
you have a dog of your own, you
will understand him a whole lot
better after you read this story.
And if you don’t have a dog you
will understand all dogs better.
You will always remember that a.
dog has feelings that can be hurt
just as easily as your own.

EASY BOOK: The Black-Eyed
,4 Puppy, by Katherine Pyle.
Maybe you have a “lttle white,
rough-haired dog, with a black
spot around one eye, and black
ears and tail.” That is the kind
of dog Muffins was, and in this
book he tells his own story. There
Juvenile book: Twelve Legend-
ary stories of Texas by Iva Chap-
man.
Among the wealth of many told
tales of this section of the South-
west, Iva Chapman selected a doz-
en outstanding legends to re-call
in vivid and picturesque form.
As an instructor at the Texas
State College for Women, Miss
Chapman for the past fifteen years
has taught a course in Children’s
Literature; in her work she felt
the definite need of such a type
of book as the one she has com-
piled. Indian-Spanish-pioneer Tex-
an—are the backgrounds for these
stories from all parts of the Lone
Star State. Included is the very
lovely legend of the Texas blue-
bonnett. Simply beautifully told—
and even rhythmically in the case
of some of the stories—these leg-
endary tales of Texas are an im-
part of our literary heritage, wor-
thy of being kept fresh in the
minds of the coming generation.

Tommy, who kept toads in his
sockets and goldfish in the sugar
bowl. Thq doctor wanted Chatty,
so that he could experiment on her

Schef wanted Martha for his wife.
‘‘The Wolf Pack” Chatty called
all of them who constantly threat-
ened to separate the family. But
“Cousin” Duncan held them to-
gether, and the Wolf Pack at bay

and even Cupid himself all play
important parts in this chuckling,
breathless story of the McGrail
family.
Adult book: Timeless Land,
by Elea,nor Dark.
This is a richly colorful story
of the five years of English set-
tlement in Australia, and of the
black people whose life and cul-
ture and natural gaiety were so
cruelly destroyed in that short
time. Parallel to the slow estab-
lishment of the white colony runs
the sad history of the black man’s
demoralization, personified in Ben-
nilong, an historical figure and
a leader in his tribe, who develops
a fatal friendliness toward the
English. This is an excellent story
with fresh background, making
it one of Mrs. Dark’s most ambi-
tious and important novels.
Teen-Age Book: Happy Land-
ing, by Lenora Mattingly Weber.
The McGrails were a motherless
brood. Martha, seventeen, was the
eldest, and she did her best to
keep the family together while
Father was lost in a plane some-
where in Dutch Guiana— or good-
ness knows where. A difficult job
she had, for the town’s leading
citizen wanted to adopt Dakin, be-

Its Voice Is The Voice
of a FREE PEOPLE
Bill and Ann Palmer live over on Church street
in a nice little brick house. They might be people
you know, because they’re just average folks.
They don’t play an important part in world af-
fairs themselves, but they’re mighty interested
in the people who do. They like to keep themsel-
ves informed about what’s happening where and
why-andthey like to know about the things
that happen. So-they read the newspaper.
There’s a lot of significance ty> that. There’s a lot of Bill and Anna Pal-
mers in the world and most of them are hungry for news of that world.
Naturally they turn to the one source they can depend on, that they’ve
ALWAYS depended Ion, ever since they were lcids. Their newspaper.
They KNOW that the prime function of that newspaper is the present-
ation of the NEWS——quickly, impartially, completely. That’s what
your newspaper does for you. And it‘s an iniportant job.
