TB SHOTS
During April and May Indians will be vaccinated with
a new vaccine which can keep a person from getting the
tuberculosis. It doesn't always keep you from getting
the disease, but it has been found that many people
given this vaccine do not catch the disease. In 1935
they gave this vaccine to 1 500 school children. Another
group of children were not vaccinated. Ten years later
it was found that, in the group of 1500 who were not
vaccinated, more had caught tuberculosis than in the
vaccinated group.

INDIAN VOTING
Last month a law was voted upon by the New Mexico
Legislature. If this law had passed, Indians in New
Mexico would have lost the right to vote. It almost
passed, but the Governor vetoed it. The Pueblos and
the white people who are interested in Indian problems
protested this law, so it did not pass.

THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The Advisory Committee of the Tribal Council met
at Window Rock during the first part of March. They
turned down a proposal that would call in a group of
engineerng and planning experts to develop small in
dustries on the reservation with tribal funds. They are
going to submit a resolution at the next meeting of the
Tribal Council to try to get Navahos and people from
the outside to use their own money to set up small in
dustries on the reservation, which would employ Navaho
workers.
