‘There was no visible évidence of large scale threshing, but the Germans say that can be done in the spring ‘as the stacks of grain in the flelds are safe against the winter ‘Weather. We passed many thousands. of acres lying fallow. ‘Wheat and rye jlready hive been sown in some areas. If was impos‘sible to get an accurate estimate of the size of the total crop, which was described by some Germans as “not at all bad.” The - harvest was brought - in ehiefly by Ukrainian women, according to the Germans, because .the Russian men were in the army Or prison camps. The Russians had destroyed or removed 50. much machinery and livestock that the women had only scythes and sickles and a few horses for the harvest, they said, but much of the grain was excellently stacked.
Admit Big Problem
Labor and equipment are serious * problems in the Ukraine now. Great numbers of Soviet prisoners apparently are being released if they can prove Ukrainian blood and loyalty. We saw thousands of them still in uniform trudging toward their homes. The Germans point out that there are big problems involved. But they expressed confidende that they can weld this rich country into Hitler's “new order” for Europe.

Of Arizona's
By EGAN LECK
In 1916, Dr. Thomas B. Noble Jr. was a camera fan. Having snapped all the scenery around Indiana, he went to Arizona to find new landscapes. He found the shots, all right, but when he came back, he had another hobby. It wasn’t just another fad, like pasting butterflies in an album, or looking for seashells. He had 'discovered thé Navajo Indians. Dr. Noble had gone to the Navajo reservation to take pictures, and stayed to admire the stately, dignified Indians, who now. number 50,000. Today Dr. Noble can show you the combination of two hobbies Twice a year he visits the reservation, and .each itme he returns, he |has more beautiful, breath-taking pictures. In the doctor's private office is a running panel, about midway from the floor and. ceiling. It’s an invention of his, buflt so that it is a simple matter to take an old pics ture ouf, and insert a new one. In the backyard of his home at 4800 the Michigan Road, Dr. Naple has built a glorified “hogan,” or Navajo house. The" real ones are tents, built of frames and skins. The doctor's is of brick, with a round roof. Inside is a collection of everything: Navajo that can be moved.

Local Doctor Makes a "Hobby
Navajo Indians
Arrowheads, rugs, baskets, beads, headdresses—almost -every example of Navajo handiwork, is there for the inspection ‘of “his friends. . The doctor also reels of color movies, showing. all ‘phases of the Navajo life, and especially’ itheir ceremonial dances. He spends part of his spare time lecturing to various groups about the Indians, and showing his pictures, °
Although Dr. Noble knows several hundred words of the Navajo language, he doesn’t claim to be proficient at it. He says it has been found that the language has no known root, ‘or link with any other language. There is no written recad
ord. When things get just too hard to bear here in the city, as happens every so often to a busy doctor, Dr. and Mrs. Noble leave for Chinle,. Ariz. That’s the jumping off place. From there on: it's a case of where-do-we-want-to-go. The doctor recommends the country highly, even to those’ who don't care for Navajos or photography. “When you get out there,” he says, “and you see no living thing, you can see how you've been worrying over nothing. It lets. you relax. » AS he said that, a faraway look came into the doctor's eye. It looks as if the Navajos might
be going to have visitors soon.

‘They Like Orleans
1. Two Indianapolis soldiers at Camp Shelby, Miss, recently visited New Orleans and sent back observations through a special news bureau, : Sergt. Dallas H. Weatherman, 3126 Central Ave. said he was as
much impressed with the “fastmoving” auto traffic and the “slow
moving pedestrian traffic” as with
anything else. He added, “If you want to have a good time, come to New Orleans.” Staff Sergt. Willlam H. Winzenread, 3350 Kenwood Ave. said he intended to see the French Quarter, remarked that the people of New Orleans are “very friendly,” and said he hoped to be back here at Christmas time.
