tough, a big man? 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. .

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?
Does it make one feel that he is

To the Editor,
I am taking this privilege of writ
ing these few words, praying that
they will reach all of my lovely rela
tives in Warm Springs. 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.

during that time and through later
years I have felt great happiness for
her love.
Ruby always kept me informed
of the family and though we often
were not able to see each other, her
accounting kept us in contact.
We, the family suffered a great
loss in Pete leaving the family cir

happy with his smile and care for
them. We heard so many good
words about him during his final
hours at the Longhouse.
I thank the young man, Phillip
David for the great task he will

job he did. Also the religious leader,
young Wilson, who I have wit

I'm writing to express my appre
ciation of your efforts in allowing
some of the Self Managers in our
school to tour the Fire and Safety
facilities.
Based on the comments of those
students who attended, the tour

tional as well.

able to continue to take small groups
through your facilities on every
other Friday for the next few months.
Thank you again for your efforts
