Indians Developed Sign Language for Talking The great treeless expanse stretching westward from the Missouri river to the Rockies and southward from the Fraser river to the Rio Grande provided a spacious stage for the development of freearm signaling between Indians. Tribes of many stocks roamed the broad flat lands, waged wars, spread over new territory. A universal means of inter-communication was needed. For inter-tribal messages the hand served the need better than the tongue. Sign language enabled Indians even at the geographic extremes of the region to talk with one another. A Sioux and a Comanche could discuss their affairs with the greatest of ease. Kiowas, Cheyennes and Crows were most adept, made their silent meetings occasions of grace as well as greeting. Signs were made with one hand or both. Originally they required close reference to the shape, habit or purpose of the subject matter. In time they advanced from the picture idea to fixed symbolism. The "vocabulary" was enriched with local varia« tions of its basic gestures until it was equal to the making of a treaty* the recital of myths and legends, and the telling of hunting exploit* and brave deeds. (by Helen Johnson.) t)n Sunday evening a community feathers Day party was held at the, hall honoring the fathers whose sons ! and daughters are in service. A table decorated with flags and mina- i ture soldiers and sailors was; laid : for twenty-two service Father's.! Garden flowers were used on the other tables. A pot-luck Bupper was served at seven thirty and the program with Mrs. Collins as Toastmistress followed. Group singing of old favorites and readings and songs by the boys and girls were enjoyed. Carnations with a V of red, white j and blue ribbon was - presented to each service father--and a single i carnation to the other fathers. Bou- j qucts yrere presented to S. W.
