Wm. Smith was the cha:frman and the guest speakers were Dr. Roth of University of West- ern Ontario and Er. i1eil Jamieson of the University of Juffalo. Dr· Roth : stated that for sci .mtific purposes, the natives of J\-111erica are classed as Amerinds and not Indians which they actually weren 1t. He suggested that ·i n order to _bring attention of t:he government to Indian problems , that the Indians themselves must -unite, · and cited the cas_e of the Jewish nation, who, from 73 countries and with as inany ianguages·, united into the single n2.tion of Israel with a single common language, · have made themselves the nation of Israel and an entity to be reckone_d with. He also stated that Eurqpean history books gi ve a more truthful and accurate account of Indian History ·_ than that of American History Book. Dr. Roth is a Professor of i3iology at the Univer- sity of Western Ontario m1d because of his interest, has made a special study of native history and probably knows more of the native history then the nat ives themselves. · JYir.

The next meeting is scheduled for April 28, same time, same place. A dainty lunch was served by students and parents. Clean- Up- Time {by J .L.J.) Spring, has at last come around the corner, and is staring at us in the face with the _ usual slogan, 11 Fix- up, clean-up, paint up ! 11 We, of the Six Nations Indian Reserve, have hammers, saws, nails, rakes; spades and matches ?,nd what _a neat job a brush and some paint can do. All this can turn our night into . day, from darkness _into ;~ight. What a bles_sing and enjoyment a flower garden .-ipuld be! Febru9-['.f_ month of this year, with its ice and snow storms, gave a glorious scenery at the time, but not so to- day. That month gave us more work this spring than other times, strewing sticks, broken limbs here and there, also scattering . rubbish on our front _lawns. - One must- be careful where to dispose of this debris. Bonfires have to be lit, but care must be :t_aken to choose a calm day for doi ng this job, as strong winds can turn our reserve into a charred mass. A safe place to light a 1Jonfire is in a ploughed· field. Ne are told again and again that certain soils are i n need of potash, and th_e ashes from the bonfire would be a contributor, perhaps in a small degree, to this end. Firemen and R.C.1'i.P. stand by !
