INDIAN BRAVES FALL IN FIGHT BUT RISE TO TAKE ’EM ON AGAIN!: HUEJOTZINGO, MEXICO - A remarkable melee is staged in this little Puebla town in commemoration of a famous battle back in ’62, with Apaches, Suavas and Zapadores in fierce sham conflict, frequently interrupted by dancing and other festivities.

FISH BY THE MILLION BRING SILVER LINING/KELSO, WA - Unemployed men and women from miles around crowd the banks of the Columbia River during a record run of smelt.

MONEY STREAM FLOWS STEADILY AS TREASURY RUSHES NEW CURRENCY: WASHINGTON, D.C. - Remarkable scenes showing Two Billion Dollars in Federal Reserve Bank Notes being turned out by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to meet the current cash famine.
