Power Bill protects fish
Inter-Tribal commissioners
began work on the regional
p o w e r bill. (S .8 8 5 ) la s t
F e b ru a ry by p a ssin g a
r e s o lu tio n c a llin g fo r
amendments to protect the
Columbia River Fishery. Then,
from March through October,
CRITFC played a decisive part
in reaching agreement in
reaching agreement with other
fish e ry a g e n c ie s, u tility
Companies, and the Bonneville
Power Adminstration (BPA),
among others, on the necessary
fishery and treaty rights
language. This language was
the basis for the protective
a m e n d m e n ts t h a t w ere
incorporated in the bill and are
retained in the act.
To im plem ent the act,
Oregon, Washington, Idaho,
and Montana will appoint a
re g io n a l e le c tric p o w er
planning council, which will
draw up a plan for the BPA to
use in making contracts for the
acquisition of power resources.
Priorities in meeting regional
demands for electricity must
be: first, conservation; then co

Freshman boys top Prineville
The M adras Freshm an
basketball team came to the
Warm Springs Community
Center January 15 to hand the
Crook County Freshman team
of Prineville a 62-48 loss. The
game was close throughout the
first two quarters as Madras led
38-35 at intermission.
Things got going in the
second h a lf as M adras
gradually pulled away from
Crook County.
Fine was the high scorer for
Madras as he hit 22 points for
the evening, followed by Boggs
with 14, Blackman 10, Fiala 8,
resources (hydroelectic is a
renewable); and last, other
resources, including thermal
plants.
The plan, to be competed
within two years, must be
c o n siste n t w ith the fish
protection and environmental
qua'ity standards of the act and
other laws. It must also not
affect the legal rights of Indian
tribes. Further, the energy
demand and supply model that
is used must leave enough
w a te r f o r ’ h y d r o e lc tr ic
generation even if demand for
electricity increases dramati
cally in years to come.
.As part of the plan, the
council must adopt a fishery
program based upon recom
mendations from the tribes and
others. These recommenda
tions cover:
(1) M easures to protect,
m itig a te , a n d e n h a n c e
(Columbia Riyer fish and
wildlife);
(2) Objectives for operations
and development of projects on
the Columbia River and its
tributaries; and,
(3) Coordination, research, and
development to assist anadro-
mous fish at and between the
region's hydroelectric dams.
(From, subsection 4 (h) of the
act.)
The fishery program can
contain, among other things,
improvements of spawning
grou nds and habitat, sufficient
| flows for successful migration
i and survival of salmon and
I steelhead, and better bypass
facil ities at dams for migrating
fish
Lawrence and Clements each
had 6, Jim, Alderman and
Strutz each had 2. Bates was
high for the visiting Crook
County freshman as he scored
14 points.

unknown is the extent to which

Scouting program being organized in Warm Springs
Warm Springs boy scout
troop 59 was disbanded seven
years ago when local boys and
parents failed to show interest.
Now twenty boys have already
registered for participation in
the new local organization.
Several parents have vùlunteer-
their services and are involved
in training.
Troop and pack meetings are
scheduled to begin around the
end of January according to
Kalama.
On my honor I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong,

s'- _
The Boy Scout Oath
Both a boy scout troop and a
cub scout pack is currently
being organized in Warm
Springs through the efforts of
Tommy Kalama and interested
parents.
History
The boy scout movement
began many years ago in 1908
through the work of R.S.S.
Baden-Powell then inspector
general of cavalry in the British
Army. The purpose of the
program was to train boys in
th e e s s e n tia ls ' o f good
citizenship. That purpose still
remains in today’s boy scout
troops.
Baden-Powell had written a
b o o k on o u td o o r lo re
expecting it to be used by
existing youth organizations.
He set up an experimental
camp to test his written ideas.
These ideas were based on
experiences in his own life
including trekking, canoeing,
sailing and tracking and
reconnaissance.
B aden-Pow ell’s theory in
training boys em phasized
organization into small natural
groups of six or seven boys
under a boy leader with adult
supervision. T raining and
excellence in a skill was
rewarded by granting' badges
and through advancement in
the organization. The highest
attainment in proficiency is
marked by the Eagle Scout
badge.
‘Most important of all in
Baden-Powell’s concept of
survival training was a promise
made by each boy on his honor
to do his best to do his duty to
God and his country, to help
other people at all times and to
obey the scout law.
Cub sebuts
The cub scout program for
boys 8 to 10 years of age
precedes boy scouts. The cub
scouts depend greatly on
parent participation, it is home
centered with parents guiding
and certifying the advancement
of the youngsters. Handicrafts
are stressed to develop tool
handling skills, imagination,
creativity and judgement and
to encourage cooperation
between boys and their parents'.
Girl scouts
Girls are not excluded from
survival training and the
development of skills. The girl
scout program was incorporat
ed in the United States in 1915.
It also originated in England
through the work of Baden-
Powell’s sister Juliette Gorden.
The ages for girls in this
organization range from 7 to 17
beginning with the brownie
program. A girl may join at any
Jevefc... «•.
i * o
The vital part of girl scouts
involves outdoor living and
learning about nature. Like
boy scouts the girl scouts are
dedicated to instilling high
ideals of character, conduct,
patriotism and service.
The girl scout program is
designed on six foundation
elements; the promise and laws,
service to o th e rs, tro o p
management by the girl’s
th e m s e lv e s , c i t iz e n s h ip ,
international friendship and
health and safety. As the girl
advances in skills she graduates
from work-home activities to
community oriented activities.
Adults and youngsters who
are interested in outdoor life
and activity might find the
scout program to their liking. If
