Learning To Make Decisions By Ron Pinkham Today young people must decide what their career life goals will be and must make every effort to achieve those goals. Yet, the process of deci sion-making affects the well being of every individual. This process may be simple to certain individuals but to others it is a frightening road of harc| times and energy spent toward com mitment to oneself. Indecision causes the person to become deeply involved to the point where anything else be comes secondary, causing a person to function at less than normal levels. School work or other related activities suffer. Since the person is trying to resolve his indecision, adults complain constantly of the time involved. Whereupon, “SHOULD’S” are placed on the child, meaning he is reminded “you should do this, you should do that,” “make up your mind because you should know what to do with yourself.” Depression — Indian club activities are few and far between. Parents have a concern as to the direc tion of the club activities.

He drowns himself in whatever is available — drugs, getting high, turning to alcohol. Simnasho Kids to Los Angeles The Simnasho Grade School 4-H Club, made up of all students at the school, are working hard to raise money for a trip to the Los Angeles-San Diego area during their Spring Vacation. Community members an^ the Simnasho School Staff are teaching the students a variety of craft ideas that they are plann ing to sell. People are being sought to present more projects to the students. They have done some of the following and hope to do them all: Bead work, leather crafts, the making fo tree orna ments, mobiles, cooking, iron transfers, resin pouring, rock polishing, dances, weaving, pho tography, and pottery. In addition to the making and selling of these crafts the students, parents, local teachers, and community members are planning bake sales, bottle drives, a run-a-thon, a talent show, rummage sales, a carni val, and special drawings to raise money. Raising the necessary money and taking this type of educational trip offers a valuable experience to the 15 students at the Simnasho School. The trip will begin early Friday morning, March 23, 1979, at the Portland Airport. Before take-off the students will meet with their jet’s pilot in ”ie control cabin. Two hours later they will land at the Los Angeles Airport. The students and club leaders (the Simnasho staff) have plan ned many activities with an agency experienced with the planning of similar educational excursions. The San Diego Zoo (world’s largest), Marineland, another school, a game show, Disneyland, Safari-land, the beach, Universal Studios, and Knott’s Berry Farm are a few of the planned events. The Sim nasho students will be flying home five days later, landing in Portland Tuesday afternoon. The Simnasho students have a long way to go in raising the money needed but feel that support from the communities is strong. The resulting academic and social growth will be very high and the knowledge and exper ience gained will be with them all of their lives. Stained Glass Bob Griffen, Interim Pastor of the Presbyterian Church, showed Crystal Leonard how easy it is to make stained glass tree ornaments from construction paper and tissue. The first Christmas Club meeting November 29 produced many colorful and glittery decorations. The next session at 7:00 December 6 will present pine cone art. Spilyay Tymoo Photo by CDS Extension Notes Home Freezer Economy A home freezer doesn’t save money unless the food that goes in it is purchased at considerably below retail prices, according to Pennie Albrandt Warm Springs Extension agent. The actual cost of storing food in a freezer depends on how quickly the food is consumed and replaced. Studies have shown that it can cost between 10 to 12 cents a pound to keep food in a freezer. However, a rapid turn over of food reduces the cost to about five cents a pound. “When you add 5 to 10 cents a pound to the price of food stored in a freezer, it becomes obvious that buying food on sale or in bulk at reduced prices is neces DECEMBER sary to make a freezer worth 1 , 2, 3 Wide Spot Powwow - Agency Longhouse Friday evening 6 while.” p.m. Saturday, 2 p.m., Sunday, 3 p.m. - Home freezers also can be 2 Simnasho School 4-H Club Bottle Drive to help fund trip to Disneyland.

Calendar Of Events economical for people who buy quantities of commercially fro zen food, or who preserve large amounts of vegetables, fruits, meat and poultry. The most efficient way to operate a freezer is to keep it full. This is true bcause 0 half-filled freezer uses the same amount of electricity to maintain the proper low temperature as a full freezer. For peole who are consider ing the purchase of a new freezer, estimating the proper size freezer to buy can pose a problem. Figure three to five cubic feet of freezer space per person, less if only short-term storage is needed. For people who plan to store large amounts of food, eight cubic feet per person is appropriate. Beef Cattle Conference includes lunch. A number of topics will be discussed and includes implants, selenium and mineral implants, forage testing, management options for 1978-79 ând a discussion of beef product ion characteristics.
