The Sierra Club will publish
ALMOST ANCESTORS: THE
FIRST CALIFORNIANS by Theodora Kroeber and Robert F.
Heizer, edited by David Hales,
with a foreword by David Brower.
Theodora Kroeber, whose
story of ISHI attracted worldwide attention, now joins with
Robert F. Heizer in presenting
this original collection of almost
118 photographs of California Indians, The photographs, most of
which had to be collected from
museums and several private
collections, date back as far as
a daguerreotype taken in 1851,

One of the very best ways you
can get a new baby started in
life is by buying him or her a
U.S. Savings Bond. And once
vou're started, keep on with it.
As the baby grows, the Bonds
you keep buying will grow, too.
When the baby is ready for
college, the Bonds will be
ready to help pay for college.
NOW-—Higher Rates!
Savings Bonds now pay 4.25%
when held to maturity — and
Freedom Shares (sold in combination with E Bonds) pay a
full 5%. The extra interest will
be added as a bonus at maturity.
And now you can buy the
Bond/Freedom Share combination any time—no monthly
commitment necessary. Get the

As_ David Brower says in his
foreword, "Perhaps these faces
can be symbols for us, can make
more poignant the tragedy we
are inflicting on living things
less like ourselves. Perhaps
‘we can wonder a moment what
it might be like, for example,
to be the last man on earth who
could speak French. Man has
been forgiven often for knowing
not what he does. For the kind
of error that wiped out this kind
of uniqueness there cannot be —
much more forgiveness. Too
many species are down to the
last that speak their language,
and organic wholeness will be
lessened when they go, on whatever part of this planet they
inhabit. What lessens them diminishes us, for there is no
island."
