Indian Languages On The Decline LAWRENCE. Kas. (INS) — Indian languages will have disat>peared froin Kansas within 50 years. That's the prediction of two University of Kansas language specialists who have been doing research on the subject. Dr. J. Neale Carman and Karl S. Pond say only three or four Indians know the language of the Sac and Fox tribe who live at Reserve. Kas., and Falls City, Neb. Y'fce rest of the tribe are using Pottawatomie. Pond reported he met a young Kickapoo at Horton, Kas., who could understand his father in Kickapoo but had to answer him in English. The experts blame the situation on economic stresses resulting from two world wars and a depression. Said Dr. Carman: "The post-World War I prosperity created attractive jobs which lured the younger Indians off the reservations. As members of their new communities they attempted to identify themselves with their white neighbors, and one means of doing this was to use English like everyone else. "Hard times of the 1930 s forced Indians back onto their reservations. but when they came back they spoke English, not Indian,, When they taught it to other Indians, the native languages were forced into a growing disuse. Then World War II brought more prosperity, jobs, another migration, and more English-speaking Indians. Now only the older members of the tribes continue to use the native tongues.” Honolulu —Hawaii’s normal annual output of sugar is one million short tons. Cleveland — One of the larger Great Lakes vessels can haul more than 18,000 tons of iron ore at one time, or 15 times more than the first ore freighter which, was designed in 1869.
