New Holland, Penna. Abram W. Diffenbach; Manager Phone (717) 354-4341 Peggy poses with a Navajo blanket. Peggy Shenk returns from Navajo country D.H.S. graduate Peggy Shenk spent the last few months living with Navajo Indians. She is home now, and living with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ted Shenk of Mount Joy R.D. #1. Lancaster County is a long way from the Navajo Mission at Farmington, New Mexico, where Peggy worked from November until last week. Lancaster is also a lot more prosper- ous than the Navajo reser- vation. The main purpose of the mission is to provide homes for Navajo orphans and childr2n whose mothers are too poor to feed and clothe them. Peggy spent a lot of time babysitting for foster parents Jim and Kay Bak- er, two transplanted Lan- castrians who worked at the mission. She also learned to eat mutton stew and ‘‘fry bread’’—two Navajo staples. She didn’t learn to like them, but she learned to eat them. The poverty on the reservation came as a bit of shock. Most Navajos live in log and mud ‘‘hogans,”’ without electricity or run- ning water. Their entire livelihood comes from small herds of sheep, which survive on sparse desert browse. Many families live 20 miles from the nearest neighbor, and the only means of transportation is often a horse. Those conditions prompt some Navajo mothers to leave their children at the mission. Peggy says, ‘If the mother gets enough money, and thinks she can afford to raise the kid, she comes and gets him. Some- how it doesn’t seem fair... the foster family has gotten so attached.” Some Navajo customs are very different from ours. For example, all property is owned by women, and is passed from mother to daughter. ‘“The women pretty well run the show,” says Peggy. “I learned a lot about the Navajo people and how they live,”” she says, sum- ming up her stay at the mission. ‘“‘It was a really great experience.’ Democrats to choose local slate A public rally for regis- tered Democrats interested in running for public office is scheduled for Friday, February 18, 1977, at the Mount Joy Borough Hall, 21 E.
