It is Indeed high time for u.s to adopt a different attitude toward the Native people and serve them, as well as treat them In a cheeful and pleasant manner, which in my opinion thpy are entitled to. The sooner we of the white race decide to regard pur native brothers as equal, and improve our attitude toward them tie better it will be for all.

The Aiyansh Story DAILY NEWS today tells a story of how the Tile three hundred people of the Naas River village of Aiyansh have contributed several thousand ''doL'ail twelve thousand to be exact, to rebuild a church which was destroyed by fire in their community. How many families those three hundred people represent is. not known, but considering the average size of an Indian family, it is doubtful if there are a hundred earning groups in the village. Such a contribution in this age is a pretty rare thing for any good cause, but in the cause of religion, jt is rare indeed. And on top of this financial generosity is the volunteer labor of love which will transform the fund from a bank credit into a house of religion, patterned on their Diocesan cathedral. There is a moral in this story, particularly for those so-called whites who have seen the Indian only in the un-advantageous light of a city street, and '" not in the proper setting of his village and his home. , The Aiyansh story will be recognized by those who ,. know the native population, as a truer picture of the dignity and neighborliness which is an everyday part of village life. Recently, the Daily News has published letters from natives criticizing phases of their treatment while in this city. Whether or not those criticisms were justified fhey undoubtedly were, at least in part is not under discussion here. The point is, that to the sensitive mind they pan be recognized for what they are pleas for understanding from a , people whose responsible members are asking from us little more than the civilized attitudes of tolerance and goodwill in their development toward what they undoubtedly believe to be the best that our civilization contains. -J'" While M'e are pondering tlje Aiyansh story jt " might well be significant to ask ourselves what "vyould be the response if one of our own churches ... binned down.

"The Public Service Commission agrees that positions involving secrecy and national security should not be held by persons who admit membership of, or are reasonably believed to be in active association with, organizations the objects and methods of which, conf lie; with the national interest,' 'the reports says.

Desires for careers as professional athletes apparently has something to do with the decisions of the latter. But the atmosphere of political and mental freedom in Britain undoubtedly is. , . the underlying attraction in all these cases. Moscow's strenuous efforts to prevent such defections, forcibly, to blacken motives and confuse ; 43ssu.es with lurid charges of coercion, do not bespeak ' "confidence in the superior attractions of the Soviet system.'

Russia, i While official American explanations imputed their actions to romantic befuddjement, there was certainly no attempt to make them change their minds by force. American newspapers freely - printed the reasons they gave for preferring to stay in Communist Russia. .'Perhaps the real strength of the democratic sys-r tern is nowhere more apparent than in the absence - of a frantic and panic-stricken effort to conceal the dissatisfaction of the occasional dissident who chooses to desert it.
