PAUL JONES
Paul Jones was born on the Navajo Indian Reservation sixty-two years ago. When he was twenty-two years old, a kindly missionary doctor took him to New York. Mr. Jones enrolled in high school, and to pay for his board and room did janitorial work in a church. When the doctor moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan, Mr. Jones went along, and while there attended Calvin College. In 1955 he was elected chairman of the Navajo Tribal Council at Window Rock, Arizona. Recently, under his leadership, the council approved a $9,000,000 development program, part of the $30,000,000 received as bonus from oil and gas leases on reservation land. Another $5,000,000 was earmarked for a scholarship fund.
