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

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.

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.?

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. Hobbs, Principal
