This also goes along with hard news of police cases of accidents or incidents that we never have access to any informa tion. When we try to get facts or news information we are usually given the run-around. They say that everything is still under inves tigation, but well call you just as soon as things are clear. . .time passes, hours into days but still no phone calls. In the meantime the outside news papers are pumped full of information of things that we are trying to get and than some. They have all kinds of informa tion and we are still sitting around waiting for them to give us a call. People say, "Did you know that was happening?" I have to explain that I can't write anything on the cases until they are released to us. "Oh well," news is news and sometimes no news is the best news. ' ' .

A lot of articles of events, especially of something a local person has done comes mostly by chance. . .what I mean is. a lot of things are never turned in to Spilyay Tymoo for publication, but yet the outside news papers have complete cove rage of the incident or event. This makes some readers wonder what goes on here at Spilyay Tymoo. There have been several events that have taken place of accom plishments for praise of a local who has earned high honors in hisher job. in sports events or something that is news worthy 7V liss.: Center reduces purchases Dear Tribal Members, We appreciate the business you have given us. and we trust you will understand that we cannot be of service in buying articles of large dollar amounts from you at this particular time. For reasons we have a large inventory of articles we would like to see move; another being our fund situtation, we are in need of building our revenue. We will not completely quit buying, but we are going to limit our pur chased to S2S.00, or less, per article. Of course we ere sorry to have to turn down your request, depending on dollar amounts, but we do look forward to serving you in the future months. A lost sale leaves us with an empty feeling, but, as you know from the circumstances, we are very limited at this time. The near future may look more promising, once our revenue is built up to where we can purchase more. Another alternative, we hope that would help is putting your arti cles) on consignment.
