Suddenly an angel appeared among them, and the landscape shone bright with the glory of the Lord. They were badly frightened, but the angel reassured them. Dont be afraid !" he said. I bring you the most joyful news ever announced, and it is for everyone! The Savior-y- es, the Messiah, the Lord has been bom tonight in Bethlehem ! How will you recognize him? Youll find a baby wrapped in a blanket lying in a manger! Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others the armies of heaven praising God : Glory to God in the highest heaven, they sang, and peace on earth for all those pleasing him. When this great army of angels had returned again to heaven, the shepherds said to each other, Come on! Lets go to Bethlehem!

Mrs. Ilarla MacQueen, leader of the troop, said that each month a theme is selected and activities are centered on this theme. So, during Indian Month the excited Brownies were given the chance to meet real Navajo Indians. If youve ever met Brownies before, you know how hard it is to keep them quiet for just 15 minutes. Yet these girls sat absolutely still for an hour or more listening to the unique legends of the Navajo people. Although the Brownies arent involved with studying social problems and land disputes between the Indians, their attention was captured as Mrs. Mae.Benally explained the Indians present way of life. Mrs. Benally left the Reservation (which is by Mexican Hat) when she was around 15 years old. She is living in Salt Lake City and working on her masters degree in Sociology at the University of Utah. Her reasons for leaving the reservation are echoed by the many 7 other young people years old, who leave in search of a job. Nine year old Jill Haskay wore her native Indian costume to the Brownie meeting a long whiet skirt with a beautiful red velvet top. She also wore the beautiful silver and' turquoise jewelry of the Navajo. Although she lives in Salt Lake City, Jill goes to the Reservation during the summer to take care of the sheep for her grandparents. The stories she told were simple, yet beautiful (and memorable). Meg Leonard, one of the Brownies, recalls one of Jill's experiences while she was herding the sheep. She was returning home and the sky was growing darker and darker as night approached. When Jill came to the place where two paths crossed she didnt know which one to take, so she prayed and was led along 15-1- Estimates place the total number of labor saving but noise producing appliances found in the modern kitchen as high as 20. A the right path. Meg said that she liked the good rule of thumb is to limit the concurrent use of the noisiest to stories that the Indians told the best. She especially liked one no more than two. . about a frog who tries to catch a horny bug but, she says, 1 cant remember the ending. The Indians also told how they weave rugs on those big long things and even showed the young Scouts some of their rugs. Also during Indian month the Brownies made cactus candy, corn bread and painted dolls. The com bread tasted like pancakes, but it was pretty good. At least the Brownies thought so. The .Kachina dolls were paper and painted like the real dolls. Although Indian month is over, the Brownies are still planning to have more. Navajos speak to their troop. In January someone is visiting them to teach Indian crafts, and later on they will learn beading and how to make dolls. Ka-chi- na . . o Reverend Norman Jonkman of the Christian Reformed Indian Ministry was a big help in contacting the Nevajo speakers for Troop No. 139. Through the combined efforts of him and their leaders, the Brownies were able to learn a little bit . about the Navajo Indians and meet some of the people. ltf B1 They ran to the village and found their way to Mary and Joseph. And there was the baby, lying in the manger. The shepherds told everyone whal had happened and what the angel had said to t!iem about this child.
