That was the largest number there has ever been here and one reason for that was that there were 28 Indian projects—another all- time high! ^ T o u r of those were silver m edal w in n ers—and yet another all-time high. These silver winners are to be especially congratulated for their outstanding achievement and congratulations, also, to the red award winners. —And, they are winners! For one thing, they beat over 200 other students in Junior High who did not enter projects as well as many who did enter. They raised their science marks, they experienced the thrill of winning and avoided the agony of defeat. It would be difficult for me to hide my pleasure at the fact that these students did so well. Of course, there is no desire to hide it but, if there were, it would be hard to do. A special thanks has to go to Pat Darcy who worked deligently to encourage and help the fair and your children. She went well beyond the call of duty. And thanks to Doyle W hipple who aided and abetted in many, many ways. Without these two there would not have been this magnitude of success. As you may know, a good number of your youngsters are being treated to a pizza dinner at Charlies, in celebration of this fine achievement. W ouldn’t it be nice if someone at Warm Springs arranged a nice reception for all those Warm Springs students who participated? Why, it might be almost as good as winning a basketball game. Sincerely, Jesse Linch Junior Hi. Science Teacher Group plans exchange To the Editor: H aw aiian s to raise the necessary money. That’s the early inquiring. Our American Indian Center in Hawaii is working for a more solid Indian/Native Alaskan presence as well as a stronger, better-w orking relationship with our Native Hawaiian community.

So, therefore, you can see why we'd like to see good things happen for them as well. If you have any questions, please get in touch with me right away.

On behalf of a very good friend of ours and the American Indian Center, I’d like to open up communica tio n s betw een resp ectiv e schools or organizations that might be interested in an exchange program. A student exchange might consist of a p p ro x im a te ly 18 to 20 students. The contact person is Kawai Aona-Ueoka, Teacher, and “Kumu", Hula instructor. It has been Mrs. Aona-Ueoka’s task to teach these students, with special learning problems, the value of heritage and culture. Besides the normal requirements in the program the students are taking up traditional ways, which is why they’re interested also in learning the traditions of other people’s ethnic background.

Lodge should hire better people To the editor: My concern and facts on our resort, Kah-Nee-Ta Lodge: When are we going to onen our eyes and ears to see what is going on with the lodge? I have talked with many people and I hear our lodge is losing money. We don’t-have very many or any guests like we usually do. Why is it like that? Is it because of management? I think we should have someone with a lot of experience on Motel-Hotel Management at least 10-12 years. You can’t going on up thpre: Like being really learn in 5-6 months. I think we better look for passed-out in an office or one someone to make money with of the rooms: Trying to pay off our lodge, instead of losing someone and many other money, and at least pay a little things and to hire people that more, and have a program or don’t know anything about some sort of on-the-job maintenance or any other training. How are our young department. We don’t need to hire people people going to learn any thing when they don't give them like that.
