ANYONE who lived at the turn of the
century knows what is meant by Cant go
ler rarin . It is regretable that everyone doesn’t know what
it means. It is simply this. So eager to pitch in that >ou
tucker vourself out before you even get started, or as the
old-timer used to say, “Makin too many tracks, all of m
in °^P ®c^ral Area Development Committee could use a
lot of help and cooperation on the program that is being
planned for Delta County. I'll bet they would even welcome
some ‘‘can’t go fer rarin’ ’’ help.

This banking story is told about a Navajo Indian just
after his tribe was assigned to a reservation in Arizona in
the 1880’s. , ,
It seems that Chief Sharp As A Tack came into a bank
in Prescott to borrow some money. The loan officer polite-
ly listened to his store and then asked the Chief if he had
any collateral. Sharp As A tack didn’t understand. The of-
ficer explained bv stating that collateral was property or
possessions put up as a pledge that the money would be
repaid. This seemed logical to the Chief.
“Dc you have any horses?” asked the officer, by way
of suggesting acceptable collateral. Over 500, the Chief
said. So a loan of S5.000 for a year was arranged, with the
horses as security. , .
Exactly one vear later Sharp As A Tack walked into
the bank with two sacks of money. He went to the loan of-
ficer, opened one sack, and repaid the loan. After the ex-
change of a few pleasantries, the officer said to the Chief,
“Why don't you leave that other sack of money here1? It
might get lost or stolen.”
"You got horses?" was the terse query from Sharp As
A Tack. _

ways open to visitors, young

THE THREAT OF COMMUNISM
"In our hemisphere," says
Henry B. Sargent, president of
the American & Foreign Pow-
er Company, "we will always
have the threat of the spread
of communism as long as the
communist regime remains in
power in Cuba.
"A great deal of communist
monev is being poured into
Latin America to support the
efforts of the international
communist conspiracy to un-
dermine the existing govern-
ments and set up communist-
oriented regimes.
"It is encouraging to note
that the people of all the Latin
American nations and their
governments have been alerted
to this danger and that steps
are being taken to combat it.
"The Alliance for Progress
and the results of the Punta
del Este Conference are evid-
ence of the new spirit of unity
that is developing in this hem-
isphere in the face of the com-
munist offensive.
"Of course, much more
needs to be done--particularly
in the propaganda or public
information field-
