Editorial E Coosh EEWA (The way it is) Letters to the editor Magazines are in bad taste To the Editor: I would like to add my voice to L ouie P itt, J r. who advocates removal of the lew magazines that are on public display in Macy’s. That is corruptive for our youth, no matter what constitutional right is invoked. I’m not even ce rtain th a t c o n s titu tio n applies on the reservation, anyway! Anyone attempting to work constructively with youth knows the tremendous “pulls” and hard choices youth are faced with, and how difficult it is to enable (head) them in right directions, towards health and growth. How ironic that the one and only grocery market and post Guest editorial from the Alcohol Program office and general store, also has to be the purveyor of pornography. There is a place fo r e v e ry th in g an d th e magazines are most definitely out of place—in bad taste. Approximately 25,000 men, women and children lose their lives each year in alcohol-related accidents on the nation’s highways.

More than 4,000 teenagers die in Merrill Featherstone alcohol-related accidents each year and another 20,000 are Director, Youth Services crippled or disfigured. Parents are urged to discuss drinking and driving with their sons and daughters, to express their own feelings about the problem, and to find out what their youngsters think. Ask what he or she would do if a close friend had too much to drink and wanted to drive. Make a firm offerTo .1st. Until then I would enjoy come and pick up your child! if such a situation arises, receiving phone calls or short visits between 3-7 p.m. at my no matter how late it is. Make sure your teenager knows that you consider his or her safety more important than getting home. Thanks to everyone, the car home.; Care and concern appreciated Dear Ffiends, It seems I am slow at inswering correspondence, so jntil I get each call, card, and etter answered I wanted to express my th a n k s and appreciation to all of you who have expressed concern and best wishes during my illness.

Warm Springs, Oregon 97761 Deborah Wolfe & Students My students have read your article in the April 17th issue of the Spilyay Tymoo concerning the School District .Art Fair. They were as disappointed as I to find incorrect information printed in regard to our class art project. Mrs. Henry is a third grade teacher and did not do stained glass windows as her class art project. We (the class and I) would appreciate your printing a correction in the next issue of the paper. Thanks, 4th Grade-Warm Springs The flair with which Spilyay *s mistake in the last issue was pointed out demands a flourishing apology. The class at Warm Springs elementary that created the exquisite painted glass windows for the 1st Annual 509-J Art Fair was Debbie Wolfe’s fourth grade class and not Linda Henry’s fourth grade class. The praise belongs to them alone.
