Snuff, Versa & Kids From: Law and Order Committee Discipline your kids at gatherings It has come to our attention that at the graduation program on May 27th there was a lot of discipline needed by parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles for all the children that were running, playing, and fighting that night during the banquet and program. Because of this coming to o u r a t t e n t i o n , we are requesting from the police department that the Juvenile Officer attend any social gatherings that are going to be taking place from here on out Please help us by disciplining your own children. This should not be a job for our police department. It should be out job and parents, grandparents guardians and foster parents o: these children as it is causing problems between parents. Person sorry for words An open apology, 1 write to all my people whom I’ve grown up with and lived among most of my life. This letter is an open apology, to all I’ve ever talked to or said anything bad to, especially one person. I’ve said some hurting things an d a lm o s t d e s tro y e d friendship and kindness to all. It takes a small person to become big enough to say “I’m sorry” to all. I pray that everything will return back to normal, with feelings and all. Every word I say is from the depth of my heart. I feel it is easier for me to write this instead of going to everyone at a time. All those people I talked to ab o u t certain things will forgive me and let things be bygones. Nothing will ever return for somethings, but it has to go on for better things to come. I know no better way to say this to those 1 caused to hear me out. We go on to destroy the greatest life one can have. How can we go on to have a better world to live in if we tear each other down by what we put out of our mouths? Forgive me all, A Dalles Resident S. Johnson Hi! I don’t remember exactly what was happening the last time I wrote . I think it must have been about the time of the 7th form trip. During the week of March 9- 14, between the hours of 9:30 and 3:00 we studied different geographical and biological aspects of the Mahia peninsula. We were required to write up essays and reports on the information we gathered and exercises we did. We had fíne weather, plenty of free time and it was really quite neat. That weekend I went down and across to Wanganui for the Regional Volleyball Tourna ments. Our team placed third and gained a place in the zone tourney. After another week of school I was invited to go on the 5th form geography trip to New Plymouth, the weekend after th a t trip was the Zone Tournaments in Parirua. I was just a bit disappointed that we just missed out. We placed fourth and only the top three teams went to the Nationals. It would have been really neat to p la y in th'e N a t i o n a l Tournament. Oh well. Back to school for a couple of weeks then I had to go back down to Wainae for the A.F.S. Mid-year Conference. All of the A .F .S . stu d e n ts get together and if anyone is having problems, there are counselors there to help you work things out. Fortunately I haven’t had any problems big enough to worry about. Back to school again. The first term ended May 9, and the second term began May 26. In the last week of the term we had < the SR. Prom which is a first for Karamu High School, It turned out quite well, and it will probably be and annual event now. Right now I’m in Christ church visiting some friends. Tonight they’re taxing me out to celebrate graduation (just to keep with tradition). T om orrow m orning we move on to Nelson and Monday we travel home. We (me and Sonia Scarfe) have travelled the East Coast. We’ve visited the “Bluff” down at Invercargill, and we tried the great “Bluff Oysters”. It rained two of the days when we were there so we didn’t get across to Stewart Island like we had hoped. However, we had beautiful weather while we were at Dunedin and got to see a lot of the historical buildings that D u n e d in is k n o w n f o r . A lth o u g h seeing an old cathedral is common, most places haven’t preserved as much of their history as Dunedin. In Timaru we stayed on a Dairy farm it was a rather short stay but we had a look around town, the port, and of course the farm. Since arriving in Christchurch we’ve just kinda had a look around and have been taking it easy. By the time we reach Hastings again we’ll be ready for a vacation, but it’s back to school again. . The second term won’t have as many breaks so I’ll have more time to really get into schoolwork, play soccer and basketball and of course watch rugby. Well, I hope everyone has a good summer. It’s just starting to get cold here, and although it doesn’t get extremely cold in Hastings, you still feel it. Well, take care and I’ll be in touch later. Pam Keo Ullman urges emergency timber Salvage program to create jobs W A SH IN G T O N - Oregon congressman Al U11 man said June 3 that some 3,000 short term jobs can be created in the Pacific Northwest under an emergency tim ber salvage program in the national! forests. “These jobs will help offset the tremendous slump in the timber dependent communities of Oregon caused by current economic conditions," U liman said. Ullman, who represents the tim b e r-ric h 2nd D istric t, asked the Forest Service to d e v e lo p th e e m e rg e n c y salvage program to make’ available additional supplies of wood chips, for which there is a good market. “ The Pacific N orthw est region of the Forest Service is now prepared to go ahead with such a program.” Ullman said. Ullman telephoned Agricul ture Secretary Bob Bergland and discussed the need for adjustments within the Forest Service budget to make the emergency program possible. Ullman noted that the jobs “are vitally needed in the tim b e r r e g io n s o f th e Northwest, where unemploy ment is running two to three times the national average." U llm a n s a id he w as encouraged by the fast work of th e F o r e s t S e rv ic e in developing a program for taking advantage of the o p p o rtu n ity to elim in ate salvage timber from the woods and create jobs at the same time. “I am confident Secretary! B e rg la n d w ill r e s p o n d ’ positively to the need for the; F o re st Service to make; adjustments within its budget,” Ullman said.? For Sale 1959 Colum bia M obile Home. 10’ x 50’ Biltmore.

School visit to reservation “neat” Tribal Council Agenda Letter to the Editor; Re: Fir Grove School Visit We would like to use this v e h i c l e to v o ic e o u r appreciation and enthusiasm for the warm reception we received during our visit on May 14th and 15th. The many people that were frie n d ly , su p p o rtiv e , e n couraging, »re far too many to list. I will mention three because I was in direct contact with them. There were many others.... I remember Millie Colwash working with the groups of people putting up the teepee; again I saw Millie working with her kitchen crew at the longhouse serving the very delicious salmon. I want to extend an appreciation to the Begay family for coming out and showing us their fine dancing techniques as well as the beautiful costuming. Also, a thanks to Eight Ball and his group for the fine Derformance on the Long House drum; and the fine dancing. The words just seem to run out for describing the neat feeling we received in all our activities at the Warm Springs School and across the reservation. We feel this was a fine experience for our boys and girls and our staff. We all gained fresh understandings and awarenesses of a culture that is different from ours. We hope the enthusiasm and understanding will continue. Again, may thanks from all of us to all of you. Sincerely, George L.
