1978—-A year of progress coupled with problems
1978 was a year of apparent turmoil for Warm Springs.
People showed their concern by calling for an emergency
meeting to confront the growing number of tragic deaths,
accidents, suicides and other violence in the community.
The Frontier Tavern was permanently closed in August
following repeated incidents of violations and violence.
The summer of 78 will no doubt be remembered for its
heat. For several consecutive days, the temperature
soared to over 100 degrees, and only cooled to the 60’s at
night.
November saw people living in the Sid waiter area
talking on phones.
