BILLY
Produced
Billy, a health career
recruitment film, will be ready
for distribution on June 15.
Billy was funded under a grant
from Title IV, and the intent of
this film is to motivate and
instruct junior-high and high
school students on the oppor
tunities and challenges in a
health career.
A predominately Indian
cast depicts various health
professionals in a hospital situ
ation and, through a vicarious
story situation, portrays the
various health occupations that
Indian students should consider
as career alternatives. The 27-
. minute film will be mailed to
your organizations for the cost
of mailing. -

THE DAPPER YOUNG GENTLEMEN enjoying their cigars
on this thoroughfare in The Dalles are: (front seat, 1. to r.)
Tommy “Spoon” George and James Starr; (backseat, 1. to r.)
James Moses, Willie John Culpus and Chief T’sum. The
daughter of Mr. Starr, Ellen Heath, identified the car as
belong to the may of The Dalles, and the day as the 4th of
July. The year? That’s still a mystery. Can any of you
antique car buffs identify the year of the car? If so, give the
Historical Society or Spilyay Tymoo a call.
Historical Society Prepares for Trade Fair
Members of the Mid-Ore-
gon Indian Historical Society
gathered at Kah-Nee-Ta Thurs
day June 17 to look over and
discuss the proposed site of the
Trade Fair, to be held on
Labor Day weekend.
An optimistic and cooper
ative mood prevailed as ap
proximately thirty people shar
ed food and company at the
kick-off pot-luck dinner. A fit
ting meal of roots, dried meat
and fish, fried bread, huckle
berries and other traditional
foods was assembled by those
involved.
Special guests of note were
Doris Bounds and Angus Ran
dolph of the Oregon Arts Com
mission. The Commission is
considering offering funds, to
be matched by MOIHS, to help
make the Trade Fair a reality.
On display during dinner
were winhing entries* in the=
Historical Society’s Logo Con
test, held last month. A panel
of judges, including Wilbur
Johnson, Lloyd Smith, Alice
Florendo, Dorothy Simtustus
and Hazel Suppah, had chosen
a later date, with the artists’
permission and remuneration
by the MOIHS. The designs are
currently being displayed at
Macy’s store.
After dinner a visit was
made to the site of the Trade
Fair, across the river from
Kah-Nee-Ta Village. The pre
paration and utilization of this
site was discussed with em
phasis on the following: possi
ble locations of encampment, a
longhouse for display booths,
and stick- games; clearing of
the ground in preparation; and
methods of obtaining the neces
sary work forces to set up the
fair.
Although many details
have yet to be worked out,
there is a great deal of confi
dence associated with the pro
jected Trade Fair. “It’s going
to happen,” declared Director
Harry Paget. And with the
spirit evidenced that evening;
it certainly will.
