; Gotp TEETH NECKLACES

The most startling piece of jewellery
jorn in the celebration was a full neck-
ace of human gold teeth proudly dis-
layed by one of the girl dancers.

Abel Joe, who recently returned home
fter serving with the Canadian army
wverseas, was one of the featured dancers
n the festival.

He also described the various pro-
esses in the making of an Indian sweater
1s women of the tribe gave demonstra-
jons. First, the wool was “teased” by
nand; then carded between two flat wire
yrushes; then spun on primitive hand
-ollers, and in comparison, on a recently
nvented machine similar to a sewing
nachine.

Prior to the festival, Consul Perkins
nspected a guard of honor composed
sf members of the B.C. Police under
Inspector “Bob” Owens.

Mrs. Patrick Charlie knitted steadily
for three days and a night on the beauti-
fully designed Indian sweater which was
presented by Cowichan Indians to Presi-
dent ‘Truman.

Knitting the sweater, which was re-
ceived by Troy L. Perkins, U.S. Consul

Charlie.

“Yes, I’ve been knitting since I was
a little girl,” she said, “and I’m proud
to have been chosen to make this one.”
