TRAVELING ROTARIANS
R. M. Schiele’s Travelogue and
-color films, covering the Monu
ment of Arches and the, land of
the Navajo, was the best of the
many of his which I have seen
and heard. He really took us away
from civilization into the desert
country of southern Utah. The
scenic effects were truly gorgeous
in color and grandeur. His pic
tures of the everyday, activities
of the Indians interesting ami
natural arches, eroded from sand
stone by the shifting sands, looked
like a carved work by human
sculptors.
We saw a Trading Post, conduct
ed by a man who has spent his
life helping the Indians to better
themselves, with a gas tank 100
miles from the nearest railroad.
He operates over the desert coun
try in a Jeepmobile station wagon
with over size tires and gets about
everywhere in it. The horse and the
burro are used extensively by the
natives for transport.
Visiting Rotarians were: Ted.
Hugler, Sanford,, N. C.; Tom Ma
