The 21-year-old daughter of the President was referring to an Apache "burden basket," one of several gifts she received Thursday upon being inducted as an honorary member of the White Mountain Apache tribe. Standing on a hastily constructed stage, tribal chairman Lester Oliver read an adoption resolution in an ancient, but ief, rite. A somber Apache chant was heard in the background.

But that was the only solemn moment of the occasion. From Ihen on, it was feasting on barbecued beef, singing and dancing. In addition to the "burden basket," the tribe gave a traditional squaw dress and some jewelry to Miss Johnson, first member of a president's family ever to visit the reservation. Miss Johnson arrived on the reservation last week. She is spending two weeks at the University of Arizona archaeologic al school at nearby Grasshopper.

"I'm having a wonderful time (at the school) but it's awful hard work," she said. A spokesman for Miss Johnson said she will leave the school June 24, probably for Wyoming, where she hopes to visit Grand Teton National Park.

Mitchell 19, to build a bigger submarine. "There was a controversy as to who was going to ride inside and who was going to ride outside with skin-diving gear," he said.

So Mitchell scrapped the submarine he had fashioned from a jet fuel pod and is building one from a larger fuel pod to accommodate two persons. "I put the first one together in hurry to get ready for a science fair and I knew then I'd have to take it apart again anyway," he said, explaining that it had to be dismantled and sealed to make it seaworthy. "So I figured that as long as I was going to take it apart anyway, I might jusl as well use this larger pod. "If everything goes right, it shouldn't take me more than a month." Mitchell, who enters the Wallops Island branch of the Uni- study electrical engineering, has built almost all of the parts for the submarine himself, from the radios to the pressure tanks. "I'm having problems getting the fuel tank," he said.

"But I've got the motors and radios and everything. I've got all the parts now so it won't be a big job. "I have a four-cycle Jeep engine that will operate a turbo-jet propulsion unit." The turbo-jet motor will propel the sub by shooting a stream of water from the rear of the craft. BV angling the stream, Mitchell says he can steer the vessel. He hopes to use the submarine to explore the floor of the Atlantic Ocean off Cape Henlopen, Del, looking for wrecks, "I'm kind of pressed right now," he said, "because I'm working at the airport from eight in the morning until eight at night.

But if I put in two hours every night I can get quite a bit done." And there'll be no more disputes with his girl, Ivy Shedaker, 17, who calls Mitchell, "the mad scientist."

Tony Holmes of Mexia spending this week with her daughter, Mrs. Porter Ward, in Mrs. Ruby Calhoun and children of Thornton are in Mesquite community (Limestone County) visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dick Roberts, this week.

Miss Barbara Rodgers of Mesquite community returned home last Wednesday after spending several days with her sister, Mrs, T. A. Cargile, of Prairie Point. 1 was shocked when 1 read the excerpt from the City dliiance passed Wednesday by your City Council. Mexia to me has been the most wonderful town, and for more than 30 years, I have claimed it as my home town because I loved living there and visiting there.

In all this time this is the first time the town ias done anything that was un ttind. seems to have gone iverboard with this vicious or dinance. "The Bill of Rights" protects man's property and no ordi- lance supercedes that. The ordinance will be hard to enforce since a dog can't be shot in its own yard or the yard of its neighbor unless that neighbor jomplians. It will have to be called into the street to be shot and there are laws that cover that too.

Mexia to me has been a place where people take time to enjoy living, raising their family, and yes, too, having a family pet that is regulated by them, not by the City Fathers. The bugaboo of rabies has been used for many cities ordinances to rid the city of dogs why not cats? Rabies are found more often in foxes, rac- Valaree Earl Bryan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. W.

But the Humane Society of the United States believes that vaccination is virtually no protection against Epizootis of rabies among animals not even dogs.

Rabies is almost extinct and the national organization says the best protection against rabies is humane care of pets and livestock. Many cities pas sa dog law as a revenue measure which if they need the money is alright, but to shoot the dog is unlawful for a policeman just the same as it is for any other person and the throwing of poison can cause the police to be prosecuted just as any other citizen. The Humane Society of the United States offers a substantial reward for the arrest and conviction of any person wilfully poisoning a dog or cat. The American Humane Society in Denver offers $500 for the same conviction. I was interested in reading the one sided article by the roving reporter who didn't roam very far and no one would doubt his views on the subject.

I hope that after due thought the city commission temper; their ordinance and leaves thii quiet, beautiful little city a place of joy and friendship as nothing can tear up a town like killing one's pets. Mrs. B. H. Broiles Jacksonville, Texas Mr.
