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.

Springs community was a night 111
never forget. 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.
I have often heard it said at
Warm Springs funerals that we
never tell people what they mean to
us until it's too late. That evening
at the Longhouse was a wonderful
exception. It was definitely the
high point of my 1 2-year friendship
with Warm Springs. Thank you,
and 111 see you again and again.

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.
