“W hich Pow der Load is Best
for a 7mm Rifle.” was the topic
for Jo h n M iller’s project for the
annual Science F air held at the
W arm Springs Alternative Edu
cation classroom late last fall.
J o h n ’s entry earned him a first;
place in the fair and the right to
have his project evaluated,at. the
University o f C olorado by the
Am erican Indian Science and
Engineering Society (AISES).
An abstract of Jo h n ’s: project
and th e project write-up plus his
score were sent to the A ISES
committee.
J o h n ’s entry com peted with
top entries from 42 schools
through-out the nation, those
schools being in areas th a t are
heavily populated with In d ian
students. O ut of that cònfpeti-
tion two Indian students were
selected to represent A ISES by
presenti ng their projects at the
International Science and Engi
neering Fair held at Shreveport,
Louisiana May 13 d 8. ! |
John^s project entailed his
loading 7mm am m unition with
various pow der loads and test
ing for the best results. “The
m axim um load (63.0) proved to
be the best with the m inum um
load (59.0) proving to be the
poorest,” stated John. For John,
being in the middle of loading
am m unition and testing powder
loads is a p art of his home life as
his father, Avex “Stoney” Miller
is a licensed gunsm ith and a
firearm s instructor. So it seems
q u ite ,n atural th at Jo h n would
find testing am m unition loads a

Sixkillers prepare to leave
W alt Sixkiller, Fire M anage
ment Officer^ has accepted a j ob
at the San Catlos Indian reser-
vation in Arizona. W alt and his
fam ily h ave lived in W arm
Springs for six years.
Earlier this year he applied
for a fire m anagem ent officer’s
position at San Carlos and was
accepted. He has 26 years w ork
ing for the Bureau7 of Indian
Affairs and he felt the time was
right to start looking at some of
the career goals which he had
set for himself. One of those
goals was to move to the South
west as he nears the 30 years
m ark in his career. He applied
and was accepted for the posi
tio n . He w ill start his new job
on May 28.,
W alt will leave for San C ar
los during the third week of
M ay but his wife and children
will not leave until after school
is out. W alt’s wife, Kay, will.fin-
ish the packing and driv eto San
Carlos around June 6.
Their new home will be in an
àrea th at is very sim ilar to the
W arm Springs àrea, with rim-
rocks, canyons and pine forest.
There will be a m arked differ
ence ift life style since Warm
Springs is quite a b it more ad
vanced, says Sixkiller.
The Sixkillers both stated they
have enjoyed the W arm Springs
com m unity, the tribal activities
and m ost o f all, the people.
Leaving W arm Springs will give
W alt an opportunity to develop
his career but his one regret is
saying good-bye to the W arm
Springs people.-
