DONA MILLER NOW TAKING PRACTICAL
NURSING TRAINING AT OTI
ll.inl at work on a practical
nursing course (which she ex
pects to complete next Septem
ber) is Dona Miller, former Chilo
quin resident and graduate of
Chiloquin Nigh School, vintage
of PM5.
Dona enrolled under the Klam
ath Kducation Program to take
the course at O.T.I, last Septem
ber. She feels that it is a good
course and one which keeps her
plenty busy. She and the rest of
the class spent their first two
months in the classroom at O.T.I,
and in the latter part of November
bean work in the hospital. Since
then she has been working five
days a week, three of which she
receives classroom instruction at
the rate of two hours ncr day.
The rest of the time is spent
working in the hospital learning
various hospital jobs by doing
them. No time out is taken for
the customary Christinas and
spring vacations.
Among the things Dona is
learning in her hospital work arc
how to dress babies, operation of
heat and infra-red lamps, chart
ing, sitting with patients after
they come out from under anes
thesia, therapy, sitting with ton
sil and adenoids patients, how to
isolate patients, and sterilization
of dressings. During the past two
weeks Dona has been working
nights 3:(X) I M. to 1 :M) A. M.
learning surgical preparation.
While all of this sounds like a
lot of work, Dona points out that
she is getting valuable training
and is also paid for the work she
does in the hospital at the rate of
77 cents per hour.
Dona has no definite plans be
ond graduation other than work
ing as a licensed practical ' nurse.
She has hired a baby sitter to
take care of her two children,
Kdward and Asa, when they are
not going to school.
In regard to the election to be
held for tribal members giving
them an opportunity to decide
whether to remain in the Tribe
or withdraw from it, Dona states
that she intends to withdraw.

California and with S.O.C.K. in
Ashland.
Asked to comment on termi
nation of federal supervision over
the Klamath Reservation, Alton
says :
"That's a big subject. It's just
about like talking about religion
(Alton states that he got in on
a lot of discussions about religion
in the service). There's never an
end to it. Everyone should be
interested in it."
As for the election to remain
in the Tribe or to withdraw from
it as provided for in Sec. 5 (a)
2 of Public Law 5S7, Alton states
that he plans to withdraw, adding
that he hopes to have the know
ledge so that he can get along
after he docs withdraw.
