_ Thursday, May 3, 1951 . . Dear Millie: * At long last I‘ve acquired an Indian for a personal friend. He and appearance. Short and stocky, like many of our pueblo Indians, the shape of his face and the slant of his eyes are almost Chinese. His smallâ€"boned hands work diliâ€" gently, and his name is Talu. He and I became staunch friends after he had worked in our garden a few hours. His Indian indifferâ€" ence relaxed and he smiled with an animated charm that won me completely. I find that, in spite of the Indian‘s passive countenâ€" ance, most Indians have a keen and delightful sense of humor. That Talu has accepted me as a friend, there is no doubt. Since we hired him for one day last week, he either calls or phones qvery”morning asking for more He lives along/ with his father and mother at San Felipe, twenty miles from here. His house is easy. to find, he tells me, "back of church". I thought it odd that he had no brother nor sisters. "Than you do have a sister?" _ "Then you do have a sister?" "‘No. She die Good Friday. She no marry. She have baby, Other sister: marry brotherâ€"inâ€"law farâ€" _From what I could gather, withâ€" out seeming rudely curious, the married sister lost identity with her parental family, but the unâ€" married sister was glorified from having died on Good Friday, leayâ€" Mothers‘ Guild Elects Officers ; Plans Spring Luncheon urerâ€"Mrs. Victor Benvenuti; Audâ€" itorâ€"Mrs. Carl Arens; Parlimenâ€" tarianâ€"Mrs. Paul McLaughlin and ing a baby. ‘Talu arrived for work at sevenâ€" thirty in the morning, having come in a truck which he must At the Mothers‘ Guild of Imâ€" maculéte Conception School reguâ€" lar monthly meeting the following new officers were elected for the year July 1951â€"1952: Presidentâ€" Mrs. D.

He wore & dirty white rag on his very black hair. Pleased with his typical Indian appearance, I called in my neighâ€" bors to view my find. As we watchâ€" ed Talu from my window at his determined digging, his small, beautiful handsâ€"working with dexâ€" terity, his white rag tied securely across his brow, my satisfaction himself. At noon he did â€"not stop his work so I asked him about lunch. He smiled at me as though I were a child. ‘"The grandfathers say Indian no eat when hunt or work make thirsty, no water." In spite of the wisdom of the grandfathers, I insisted that Talu join us for lunch. I had no quaims about yermin, for, as I‘ve said, Taluand I are friends. Some day I‘ll eat at his mother‘s house "back of church" at San Felipe. He was most polite, eating careâ€" fully and sparingly. Then he aâ€" rose, said "Thank you" and reâ€" Midâ€"morning I took some coffee and cookies to the patio and Talu turned to his work in the garden. ‘"What a wonderful race they are!" I exclaimed to my neighâ€" bors. ‘"These people ‘have never been truly conquered, but are loyal to other traditions andâ€"cusâ€" toms as taught by their forefathâ€" Presently Talu rested for a moment, drew a cigarette from his pocket and lit it with a shinâ€" ing metal automatic lighter.
