Letters to the editor
Science Fair was great
Dear Warm Springs Com
munity:
What a thrill it was last night
to see 172 Science Fair nroiects
in the Madras Junior High
gymnasium. 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

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
