REPUBLIC BULLDOG The Arizona Republic County Ends Borrowing, Lending Sunday, March 28, 1965 (Section B) Page 1 Don Dedera Soon There May be a Place to Pause In Long, Lonely Trip Across Hopiland are only two or three pieces of a certain item in the whole county other than the ones we have, and they may all be in use." However, he emphasized that such emergency equipment needs are now rare with the highway department. "We NOW HAVE three rotary mixers for exam pie," he explained. "Until this year we only had two. -r; "Before, if we had a job using two machines and one broke down, we stood a chance of losing up to $5,000 worth of soil cement if we couldn't get another machine right away." He said the soil cement spoils in four hours if it is not mixed and stirred every 20 minutes and then spread and packed. "The time element was very important," Lanford said.

"In the future we will just have to gamble that no emergencies arise. "The board of supervisors has ordered the practice of loaning and borrowing equipment to stop, and I am going to see that the highway department carries out this order." By STERLING RIDGE IN THE FUTURE, departments of the Maricopa County government will be neither borrowers nor lenders. County Manager Joseph C. Herrick said a ruling by the board of supervisors last week forbidding borrowing or lending equipment between the county and private concerns will be strictly enforced "If we need equipment of any kind, we will renf it from now on," Herrick declared. THE BOARD order was the result of an investigation started earlier this month when Supervisor Ruth A.

O'Neil 'said she discovered than an $18,000 piece of county equipment had been loaned to a private contractor and was being used near Miami in Gila County. The equipment was identified at the time as a rotary mixer used to pulverize soil and mix it with soil cement. Herrick, who supervised the investigation, said the county highway department's pratice of lending specialty equipment to private contractors in emergencies had apparently been going on for some time. He added that private contractors had allowed the county use of certain items also during times of duress. "THIS WAS done without the board's knowledge," Herrick stated.

"If they had been asked, any such request would have been refused. "The county is like Caesar's wife, we have to be above reproach." The county manager, who was for many years county purchasing agent, said any piece of equipment the highway department borrowed or loaned can be rented in the Valley. "It might be easier to have a gentleman's agreement with some contractors than td go to the purchasing department. to, see about rentals, but you don't do things that way in government." COUNTY Engineer Sam Lanford, who with Leroy Lewis, assistant county engineer, was called on the carpet for the "loans" defended them as emergency measures. Lanford is not quite as sure as Herrick that specialized pieces of heavy equipment are always readily available.

"You never know from day to day if you can rent this stuff," he explained. "Sometimes there Legislature in Deadlock 9 Ends Payless eek econ Special Session Likely A SOCIETY accustomed to 15 motels per block perhaps cannot imagine a stretch of highway 187 miles long, with not one over-night accommodation open year around. Where? Australia? Brazil? Sahara? Siberia? The road is in Arizona. It bisects the Indian country of northeastern Arizona between the trading post at Cameron on the Little Colorado and the Navajo tribal agency at Window Rock. It well may be the longest distance between motels in the United States.

UNDERSTANDABLY, then, contact between traveler and resident is rarely of much consequence. The colorful tourist caravans stream in and out of 11 Hopi villages and a half-dozen Navajo towns. Sincere friendliness exists between paleface and red man the one fascinated by a living museum, the other needful of the tourist dollar. But with no place to stay the night, visitors move on to Holbrook, to Kayenta, to Grand Canyon. It means an economic loss to the Indians.

And, more to be regretted, there is an unfulfilled opportunity for people to understand one another better. The Hopi, especially, is un-comprehended. MOST OF THE great civilizations have flourished in broad, fertile valleys of earth's major rivers. Yet the Hopi culture prospered on barren mesas raked by raw wind and baked by unfiltered sun. Against all odds, the Hopis prevailed.

They developed an admirable code of ethics and a demanding religion. They mastered the arts of painting, carving, basketry, weaving, ceramics. Theirs is a continuity unique among the American Indian. Roof beams in Old Oraibi are from logs, dated by tree rings, which were felled in 1050 A.D. Spaniards began visiting the Hopis in the 16th Century; Americans in the 19th.

YET LITTLE OF the scholarly discovery has gotten into the mainstream of public knowledge. Not only is Hopiland devoid of a rooming house, the nearest museum of Hopi artifacts is in Flagstaff, 200 miles from the Hopi reservation.

The famous Fred Harvey collection, largest in the world, is in Chicago. Other notable collections are the Goldwater gift to Heard Museum in Phoenix, and the exhibits at Los Angeles Museum. That so little was to be seen on the reservation has long been an aggravation to Fred Kabotie, the worldly Hopi artist, founder of the Hopi Silversmith Guild. His credentials include a Guggenheim fellowship, trusteeship in the Tiffany Foundation, and fellowship to the French Academy of Arts. Kabolie's years-long dream, of a visitors center in Hopiland, may soon be realized.

ITS NAME IS Hopi Cultural Center, a nonprofit enterprise of Kabotie's influential friends. Sponsors include Dr. Karl Menninger of the widely known clinic in Kansas; Fred Eaggan of the University of Illinois; Dudley T. Earby secretary, Metropolitan Museum of Art; Henry Allen Moe, president of the American Philosophical Society; Dr. D.

H. Diehl, refrigeration executive; Oscar Rauch, Phoenix attorney, and Stuart Lyon, past president, Phoenix Dons Club. Land has been selected on Second Mesa. With prospect of the cultural center, a restaurant and hotel chain has expressed an interest in building a motel. The day may not be far away when a tourist may tarry a while on that long, lonesome trail across Hopiland.

School District's 'First' Carolyn Lane Named Initial Woman Director Of Camelback High Summer School Program theater for the evening clinics A 15-member Arizona Inter state Stream Commission, the THE SECOND annual show cherished dream of senators will open April 21 and conclude By CLYDE MURRAY Republic Staff Writer YOUNG When the evening sun begins to abandon Pleasant Valley, the fertile grassland is silent and lonely.

In these moments of melancholic beauty, one can almost believe that the ghosts of the 28 men who died in the bloody range war almost a century ago stalk the ground, their blood soiled and their bones fertilized. BUT IF the victims of the Pleasant Valley vendetta of the 1880s do roam the Valley, they are the least of the worries of Young's 200 residents of today. Young residents are more concerned with rebuilding their only school, which was destroyed by fire March 7. For years most of Young folks have not worried too much about being isolated. For one thing it kept out the Babbitts, narcissists, megalomanics and pseudointellectuals.

Young residents learned to live in an isolated atmosphere, most preferred it, as long as they had a school to educate their children. BUT THE March 7 fire knocked the community to its knees. H. M. Merchant, principal of the Young School, summed up the problem faced by the Young School District.

At least $200,000 is needed to rebuild the schoolhouse. The school district doesn't have $200,000. Distance and bad roads make it impos-, sible for the district to merge with another one. As to the problem of roads and geography, both accesses to Young are unpaved. There are times in the winter when both are closed by ice and snow.

When this happens, Young is virtually shut off from the rest of the world, except for a primitive telephone system and limited radio and television reception. YOUNG is unincorporated. It is but a cluster of small buildings, including not more than a half-dozen businesses in the center of the Valley. In the winter the area can become a quagmire. In the summer dust is a way of life.

"You can rule out going to another school district," Merchant says. "Globe and Miami are 70 miles away, 40 miles of the distance unpaved.

Lane is convinced that qualifications, not a person's sex, should be the most important consideration for advancement in any field. And her qualifications as a teacher, adviser and dean have led to an educational first in Phoenix. THIS SUMMER, Miss Lane will be director of the summer school at Camelback High, marking the first time that any woman has held an administrative position higher than dean of girls in the Phoenix Union High School District. For Miss Lane, who expects to complete her doctorate in secondary education in June at Arizona State University, the achievement is the result of being a dedicated educator. She was an English teacher and counselor at Phoenix Union before becoming dean of girls at Camelback nine years ago.

SHE ONLY has priase for the opportunity for professional growth in the high school system, and notes that Camelback Principal John L. Tanner "is able to utilize the talents of his personnel to the fullest extent of their abilities." "If I were considered for a position solely because I am a woman, I would not be interested, said Miss Lane. "But if I have the feeling that the person filling the position is challenged to meet the qualifications, then that is important. I am not an ardent feminist." THE educator said she feels the tradition of having only tive of Florida, praised the sophistication and knowledge of modern-day high schoolers, and added: "Things are changing fast and the kids are with it. Day after day, the projects the students take up and their acurricular activities amaze me.

I would defy anyone to find anything more gratifying and more challenging than working with this age group." SHE observed that this seriousness is demonstrated by the increasing number of students going to summer school. About 1,000 students are expected at the eight-week session she will direct at Camelback. "Students take summer school courses during the summer primarily for enrichment, acceleration or make-up," Miss Lane said. "More and more are coming to take courses they cannot work into their regular four-year schedule." THE STUDENTS pay $15.50 for each course, making the district's summer schools self-supporting. She said the social sciences, math, English and business subjects are most popular.

"Students cover 44 months of instruction in eight weeks," she explained. "The school moves terribly fast and the teacher's utmost skill is called for. We have a special algebra course in which students go for blocs of four hours a day and concentrate a whole year's algebra course into one summer session. Then they are ready to go on to regular geometry the next year." look more as if the entire problem of dealing with school aid (Continued on Page 8-B, Col. 1) In This Section I rrYouLDAMgywy a Jos A tor eASiEG if you f-L WOULD TAK A FW I (' 'Ri OFTHese calls i By RALPH MAHONEY SEVERAL FUNNY things have been happening on the way to the income tax deadline April 15.

reticence or modesty. "I surely hope it is true that the future will see more women high school administrators in Arizona," she said. "California has many women in positions of administration, from the high schools to the superintendent's staff. I think it is with us now. We just need more women who can meet the qualifications of the job." THESE qualifications include teaching, counseling and administrative certificates, combined with experience in the classroom, social work, and additional educational work.
