T a "Spifyoy ries and stuff like that, even hauling hay. When a kid had to do all that to earn some money, believe me it was good to see the new school year come along. Backing up just a little bit, at the beginning of the summer vacation we used to rush down to the Willamette Valley to pick strawberries at Bushue's Rez or at Howard's, near Sandy, Oregon. On the weekends we'd go swimming at Dodge Park. I used to enjoy going to the Zoo in Portland to let the animals look at me. Everything was really appreciated after working so hard for the minimum farm wages. As the summer months moved along eve ryone would move to the Salem area to wind up the summer vacation working in the bean fields or picking hops. Of course at that time I never knew what they did with hops, YIKES, but it was a way to earn some money. The big climax of the summer was taking in the State Fair at Salem. With a harty ride oh the merry: ; go-round and some cotton candy it was time to hit the trail back home.

The warmth and kind ness I felt from you was overwhelm ing. It never occurred to me that people might give me gifts. After all, I was there to thank you for what you'd already given to me and to the readers of this book your time and your openness.

Val Squiemphen Hood to Coast team captain ing at 6 p.m. at the Simnasho Longhouse, beginning September 13. We will continue to have a prayer service in Warm Springs on Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. As pastor of the Warm Springs Presbyterian church it is my desire to see prayer in everyone's life day by day. Also on the first Sunday of Sep tember the 6th. we will begin our Sunday School program. The time is 10 a.m. worship will follow Sun day school. Sunday school is for folks four years old to 400. Eve ryone is welcome. Finally, I want to speak to that young couple who were upset that I would not marry them right then 'and there. It is the law Tof the church that there must be a least two sessions of premarital counsel ing. Now the question must be asked, why? Because you should never get married because you are in love. The "feeling" of love is a feeling that can disappear with a good case of stomach flu. Feelings change day to day. What makes a marriage a mar riage is commitment. A commit ment to each other, a commitment to yourself, and a commitment to love even when you don't feel in love. In the meetings we have we talk about commitment, love, children, sex. money, drugs and alcohol, and life as a married cou ple. For the ultimate commitment we talk of the love of God for us, and what that means for a mar riage. I love to do weddings but I hate divorce. So I must try the best I can to help a couple understand what the world of being married is all about. Well, see you in church. Pastor Rick Meeting M J 1 V- .
