—two new grade schools and a
new high school—are “absolutely
necessary because of the influx
of military personnel to this vital

is hard to find in the Sudan these
days. Sudan game warden A.
Forbes reports he found female
elephants outnumbering males by
five to one in a recent trip he
made through Equatoria Province,
bordering on the Belgian Congo.
“I went up to herd after herd of
females which were accompanied
by only a few small bulls,” he
said.
the city is operating on a double
shift because of the increase in
school population.
Others declared that if the city’s
program of public utilities is cur

BUFFALO GRAVEYARD
UNEARTHED
CALGARY, (JP) — “We’re in a
graveyard,” a startled plowman
exclaimed when he began to
break land for a garden in subur
ban Calgary. A graveyard it was
—the graveyard of thousands of
buffaloes. Each furrow made by
the plow turned up hundreds of
bones.
About 75 years ago the garden
was one of the many pounds
where Indlians and white men
wrote one of the blackest chapters
of the west. It was here that buf
faloes were slaughtered by the
thousands.
9
The garden lies at the base of
a steep cliff. The buffalo were
stampeded cm the plans above so
that they thundered straight for
a funnel-shaped corral construct
ed so the narrow end opened at
the top of the cliff. In the fall
from the precipice they' were
either gilled or made easy kills for
hides.
The wedding of W. W. Farring
ton, master Sgt. of the Alaska Na
tional Guard, who has been most
active in setting up the Guard
units in this area, is scheduled for
today to Miss Mary Louise Alex
ander, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Earl Alexander.
The marriage will take place at
Noorvik where the Armstrongs
are ANS teachers.
Long dormant volcanoes are
likely to produce the worst erup
tions, says the National Geograph
ic Society, because they have ac
cumulated a bigger “stopper” of
rock and ash.
