Ghouls
Chief & Squaw Clement Bear of the Winnebagos have been spending a pleasant summer in the camping grounds at Starved Rock, famed landmark on the Fox River near Utica, Ill. Last week Chief Clement paid a visit to the ruins of a city of his ancestors (sacked in 1600 by the Pottawatomies and Iroquois), ruins which lie south of Utica. There he encountered anthropologists of the University of Illinois industriously recovering pottery and other Indian relics from funeral mounds. He exnmined the anthropologists' papers, including a permit from the University of Illinois, and declared them insufficient. When a deputy sheriff arrived on the scene, Chief Clement gravely said: "I shall report this desecration to the Great White Father [Herbert Clark Hoover]."
