WINSLOW INDIAN CENTER--Navajo boys and girls like to watch television in Winslow Indian Center. Since the center opened Nov. 19, 1960, more than 7,500 reservation people have used the lounge and services, more than half of whom are women and children. Families from the reservation meet their children, who live in Emmons Dormitory, after school hours. The board of directors hopes, by next fall, to have evening programs, classes in sewing and cooking and varied entertainment. (Photo by Berniece Batterton)
