Arkansas ‘Dugout* Canoes
Vanish From Swampland
The homemade Arkansas dugout
—descendant of the Indians’ crude
boat that is fashioned from a solid
log—has almost vanished from the
cypress-studded swamps of eastern
Arkansas. *
There was a time when fishermen
from one end of the swamps to the
other “pulled” from the far South
and as far north as the Missouri line
to get one-armed Bill Jones to make
them a new dugout.
Today Bill Jones is long dead and
the hundred or so dugouts he made
have almost disappeared. His pat-
tern, a light wood frame, gathers
dust in the loft of “Uncle John”
Harvey's barn on Big island, near
Lake City, Ark. Jim Fall, who can
turn out a pretty smooth boat him-
self when he can get suitable logs,
has Bill Jones’ adze and other tools.
Like a fine violin, a Bill Jones dug-
out can’t be bought for less than a
small fortune. Neat, light, perfectly
streamlined, they are the best of all
boats for travel among the cypress
knees and fallen timber in the green
glades of the lowlands.
Bill used to spend all his time fish-
ing and “digging” boats. He would
hunt the sloughs over for a likely
log of solid cypress. Sassafras
makes a better dugout, but sassa-
fras rarely grows big enough.
Bill would cut the log and snake
it out of the bottoms with a bor-
rowed team of mules. Then he’d
cut from it a 17-foot section, using
only the best part of the log, and
split it.
Then the real work began. Dig-
ging big hunks out of the heart of
the half-log, he would work more
slowly and carefully as he ap-
proached the outer edge. The soft
layers would be planed down, leav-
ing the best and hardest wood to
form the hull of the craft.
A dugout is poled standing up, and
the person in it had better know
what he’s doing. Trimmer and
sleeker than the Louisiana pirogue,
the dugout is the fastest means of
locomotion in the vast glades of
shallow water, interspersed by
clumps of willow and low flats cov-
ered with flag and smartweed.

Indian Medicine Men
Charge Doctor’s Fee
Western America’s Paiute Indian
medicine men of California, or sha-
mans, as they are called in their
native language, have now become
so modernized that they charge reg-
ular doctor’s fees for casting out
evil spirits and other native medi-
cal treatment.
Furthermore, so strictly modern
are these shamans in this respect,
that their fee is $5, where formerly
they were glad to accept a few
seeds.
This fact was established by Dr.
Isabel T. Kelly of the anthropologi-
cal department of the University of
California, who 5-as completed an
extensive study of the few remain-
ing tribes of the Paiute Indians in
Nevada and southern California.
The bulk of her information was
gathered from the tribes that still
exist in the vicinity of Las Vegas,
Nev.
The shaman practitioners who
have become modernized to the ex-
tent of $5 fees for treatment were
those of the Kaibab group in the
high plateaus and the Grand canyon
region of Utah._
Standardized Partitions
If you are planning a house in-
terior remodeling it is well to re-
member that you can buy standard-
ized wood partitions in all popular
woods and finishes. Such partitions
frequently come in two heights—7
feet 4 inches and 8 feet 6 inches.
Each is made up of three units with
the space between the top of the
third unit and the ceiling filled with
a soundproof transom. All units are
36 inches wide. Individual panels
are 2% inches thick, built on frames
with two 16-inch layers of acousti-
cal material on the inner side, and
are embraced with two three-ply
layers#! plywood. Doors are sound-
proof with the base panel water and
mop-proof. Partitions of this type
are easily assembled and made rig-
id with screws and full-length posts
of special construction. Wiring goes
through the end posts at either the
upper cornices or the base.
Buy Defense Bonds!
Buy Defense Stamps!
We hear this in every speech and on every radio program. We
read it in every newspaper and magazine. We are for an all-out pro-
duction of food, munitions and clothing to help win the war. We are
for an all-out war on the Axis to preserve our liberty, our freedom of
speech and of worship. So far, we do not all have to face the enemy's
guns. We do not have to wear gas masks or take to bomb shelters to
shield ourselves from enemy bombs. We have not had to put up with
an enemy guard who would take our lives if we did not do as a heart-
less enemy said.
BUT—We have contributed nobly to the Red Cross and other
organizations which are ministering to our soldiers who are facing
death for us. WE MUST DO MORE! We must buy Defense Stamps
and bonds. Some can buy many ... some have to buy less. We would
like to start every man, woman, boy and girl in this community on a
