Editoral
(The way it is)
Letters to the Editor
Coosh
for the local readers only appears
in foreign or outside papers and are never turned into the Spilyay
Tymoo. 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. ' ' .

It was said on one of the late shows that, "President Reagan is getting
very upset with the news media. It appears that they are printing things
he seems to have forgotten!" YIKES

NO RESPECT..."There was this guy who went into a store to buy a
suit. He told the salesman he wanted to see something cheap. The
salesman to him to look in the mirror." YIKES

Local news and happenings
that appear in the Spilyay Tymoo
are for the benefit of the local
readers. 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

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.
Sincerely,
Gift Shop
