Wc have received many reports from our state education al representatives of the fine co operation that was given them, and whatever success we achieved was through your help. We know that termination has certainly not solved all the prob lems of the Klamath Indian peo ple. In fact, while it might have solved some, it might also have created others. I want to assure you that I, as Governor of the State of Oregon, and all the state governmental agencies stand ready to help you in any way we can in the critical years that lie ahead. I know that you, in turn, will continue to recognize and fulfill your responsibilities as citizens of the state of Oregon and of our country. Sincerelv yours, MARK 0. HATFIELD Governor SUPERINTENDENT MINEAR (Continued from Page 1, Col. 1) had many problems, and that there will continue to be prob lems. Our Education program staff has had first hand contact with the situation among your people and had an oportunity to see the progress that you made during the past six years. As the Klamath Education Program is terminated, the burden of re sponsibility for your future falls more heavily upon your own shoulders. Wc arc confident that you will meet the challenges that still face you with courage and intelligence. I know that Mr. Putnam en joyed working with Harvey Wright and his staff on this special program, and that he is happy to sec it come to a satis factory conclusion. I am happy that I, too, had a part in it as the new Supcrintcndant of Public Instruction . On behalf of the Oregon State Department of Ed ucation I want to express appre- EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE (Continued from Page 2, Col. 4) It provided that the committee be "continued following the procla mation by the Secretary on or about August 13, 1961, for the purpose of representing the Klamath Tribe and its members in any problems or matters aris ing out of the Water rights, min eral rights, hunting and fishing, or othe rights that Tribe or its members following termination, and said Executive Committee shall have the full power and authority to represent the said Tribe and its members as it had prior to the Proclamation of the Secretary under the Termination EMPLOYMENT OFFICE (Continued from Page 2, Col. 2) Local Employment Office, wc are in a good position to select workers to fit any employer's needs. Typists, stenographers, and ap prctices for any trade are tested and carefully selected before re ferral. Call TU 4-7701 in Klamath Falls for your employment needs. A. H. WRIGHT (Continued from Page 3, Col. 4) operated with us splendidly and we sincerely hope that our ed ucational program has been of some help to you. While we arc closing our office, Mr. Zakoji, the Director of our program, will still be working in the area and will be stationed in Chiloquin. Zak will still be available and we want you to know that we expect you to continue to visit our office in Salem. In behalf of our entire staff, I want to wish you the best success in the years ahead. Director of Indian Education A. II. Wright ciation to members of the Klam ath Tribe for making this a grat ifying and successful joint vent ure. LEOX P. MINEAR Supt. of Public Instruction The Federal Government has terminated its supervision over the Klamath Indian Tribe and with this final issue of the Klam ath Tribune, the Klamath Edu cation Program also comes to an end. All of us on the staff of the education program would like to express our appreciation to the many tribal members who helped in making our work easier, enjoy able and satisfying. We have had the opportunity of getting to know many of you personally and to count you as our friends. The last six years were filled with confusion, anxiety, and ex Act." The resolution further resolves that "the Secretary of the In terior is requested, in connection with the functions of the Execu tive Committee as outlined in this resolution, to set aside sufficient funds of the Klamath Tribe prior to issuance of the Termination Proclamation, as may be neces sary to defray the expenses and salaries of the Executive Com mittee for necessary and proper meetings in carrying out its func tions representing the tribe and its members on the matters set forth in the resolution. The August 2, 1961 meting was attended by: Jesse Kirk, acting chairman, Dibbon Cook, Secre tary, and committee members Joe Pall, Elnathan Davis, Poyd Jack son, Irwin Crume, Delford Lang. pectations and our staff, located as we were on the reservation, came to understand and appreci ate the problems that you had to face. Those were trying years but we feel that the Klamath people met the challenges of those years with dignity. The individuals" who became the concerned leaders of their communities, the birth of the scout movement in Hcatty, the wonderful members of the Reservation Discussion Group and their contributions to the res ervation area, the turbulent tribal meetings and the tribal leaders who grappled conscientiously with the grave tribal problems, are some of the things we shall always remember. Seeing these positive contributions by tribal members made our work all worthwhile. Although our education pro gram is no more, it seems that our local staff members will re main right here in the reservation area. Gleta is, of course, a native of Chiloquin and has her home and family here. Hill has a job with a labor management firm and will be stationed in Klamath Falls, and Zak will remain in the reservation area doing in general the same work he has been doing. Our desire to help you in your educational and other problems has not been affected in the least by the termination of the Klam ath Program. We want to main tain our contacts with our many friends here and to continue to be of help. r it 1 ,.37" y t to The summer recreation program under Recreation Council Sponsorship and under the supervision of Emmett Gulley and Dorothy Dessey of the American friends is winding up its activities.
