Bread & Coffee. But last week these deprivations seemed like minor matters. Great numbers of the Navajos are facing starvation. Only 161 of their 11,117 families own as many as 200 sheep-the number needed to maintain a mere subsistence level of living. Without big irrigation projects (which could make the reservation capable of supporting 35,000 people at most), their desolate lands are almost useless for agriculture...
Most industries tended to maintain, if not raise, the dollar volume that had pushed first-half earnings to a peak. And most of the earnings were above last year's record heights. But some drops were shown by companies in such fields as food, textiles, retailing and electrical products.

This year with only a week and a half of pre-season practice and only one day of practice per week, players are unable to maintain the stamina and hardness necessary to avoid injury. To add further to a general picture of murderous laxity, House teams do not always observe the meager one day of practice each week, individuals neglect to tape their ankles before games, and many players never report a minor injury until...
