![["The author is interested in Indian education and mentions three Indian boarding schools in their district - Wheelock, Carter, and Jones Academy. These schools provide education opportunities for young boys and girls of Indian descent, many of whom come from remote areas, are orphans, or come from broken homes. The author also mentions the Indian Goodland Orphanage in their district, which they have visited and received a photo of a girls' chorus. The author is grateful for the financial aid provided to the orphanage by the Federal government and praises the Presbyterian Church for their work among the Indian population in Oklahoma. Additionally, there are day schools operated by the Indian Bureau in the district for areas without State schools, and the Federal government provides tuition payments for Indian children attending local and State schools."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Speeches%20and%20Press%20Releases,%201927-1976%20-%20CAC_CC_001_16_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_001_16_4_153_0000-Press%20releases-Indian%20Affairs.,%201964/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_16_4_153_0009_thumbnail.jpg "Proposed Legislation to Eliminate Second Class Citizenship and Preserve Rights")
![["The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare has decided that non-Indian widows of deceased beneficiaries of the Indian health program who were enrolled members of the Five Civilized Tribes should continue to receive medical services on the same basis as other beneficiaries. This decision is based on the long-standing dependency of the group on these services and the minimal impact on other Indian beneficiaries. The continuation of health services is limited to widows whose husbands were enrolled members of the Five Civilized Tribes and who have not remarried. The decision was made after a thorough study and additional information provided by Chief Belvin. The Oklahoma Area Office has been instructed to implement this policy immediately."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Departmental,%201945-1976%20(CAC_CC_001_4_0000_0000)/CAC_CC_001_4_47_36_0000-Health,%20Education%20and%20Welfare-Public%20Health%20Service-Indian%20Health,%201964/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_47_36_0002_thumbnail.jpg "Continuation of Health Services for Non-Indian Widows of Deceased Five Civilized Tribes Members")
