Perhaps they don't think too much of their lives. You ought to know that this is the only life you have and shouldn't be messed around with. If "Coke," or what ever it is called is being passed out around your school be sure to think twice before becoming involved with that stuff. Kids, the No. 1 asset in todays society, we should be making good plans for the youngsters who are making their way into this cruel world. Today we have all the facilities to plan good programs for the youth here in Warm Springs, Right now a plan is being put to work where a PeeWee Rodeo Association is being formed for the youngsters who are interested in Rodeo's. There are several such organizations formed in the northwest for all the youngsters to enjoy themselves. The one that is being organized will be having a rodeo in the near future as one of the Pee Wee Rodeo's that will be held during the summer months as part of the Northwest Pee Wee Rodeo Association sanctioned rodeos. The foundation for the organization is well set and is now open for membership. The northwest pee wee rodeo association will be having rodeo's all summer long with the finals in the fall. This should keep some kids busy and occupied during the summer vacation. .

Spealts" Drugs and Pot en stuff like that are becoming quite a prob lem all over and is popping up around schools all over the country. Kids getting involved with drugs are endangering their lives. There is one type of drug that if you use it once youH never use it again. . .thats true. It is said that drugs passed to tee nagers around schools have been found to contain rat poison. Can't understand why people want to use things like that. Also smok ing that crack, weed, or pot. What does it do for anyone?

I got to meet many at the Warm Springs Longhouse. The closeness and love of my relatives during our time of sorrow were of great help to me. I have known for many years that my dear mother had relatives at Warm Springs and I had met some of them in the past but during my recent visit to Warm Springs 1 met many more of them. I had gotten acquainted with my cousins Ruby Reed Torrez, Eddie, Pete, Frederick and Charles also Doris when we were at school in Chema wa. At Chema wa, R uby q uick- School appreciates tours The following letters are reprinted at the request of Warm Springs Elementary. Chief of Police Raymond F. Calica, Sr. I'm writing to express apprecia tion to BIA Agency Special Inves tigator, Rob Moran, Lieutenant Bruce Fones, and the officers who took the time and effort to provide our students with an excellent tour of the jail and some of its procedures. After the students returned from the jail they seemed excited about some of the procedures they had seen. The demonstration of how fingerprints are lifted as well as what happens when an individual is "booked" into jail seemed to be highlights for them. It's obvious that the Warm Springs Police Department is aware of the . way to a child's heart, as the coo kies surely won many friends. Along the same lines, we at Warm Springs Elementary School, felt that an officer eating lunch with our child ren was just the right touch. We appreciate the fact that our police department is willing to take the time and effort to do what they are able to do to establish a positive image in the minds of the children of the community. Thank you again for the well organized tour and kind treatment offered our students. Mrs. Jane Westergaard-Nimocks Strong seeking title Sandra L.
