There is a tribe in Canada that has accomplished the goal of combating this same issue and it took the entire community to do so. But. they did it and now enjoy a drug free life. I had the honor of hearing a young woman, a sophomore in college, present her outgoing speech as Miss NCAI at an NCAI meeting. She reminded everyone how thrilled she was to have represented all Indian people during her reign and how proud she was to see some tribes progressing so well. But, on the other hand, it was shameful and it saddened her to see Indians being arrested for drugs and alcohol. She made her point by saying, among other things, that "you should practice what you preach. You come up here, talk against drugs and alcohol, give lectures on the situation and when you are through, you go right into the dining room, eat a meal, order drinks, spend the evening in there drink ing and dancing. We youth are not blind, we see what goes on. So, I say, you should practice what you preach before you expect positive results." , , This was good advice from a young woman still in college. Maybe that's one step in the right direction.. .practice what we preach.

W WWWy y ' - - Editorial Spoalts" Of all the issues facing our youth today, drugs and alcohol seem to be among the most serious. It appears there is no immediate solution to the prob lem. Because our youth mingle with adults at social functions, perhaps this is a starting point of the problem. What is the matter? Where do we begin? How do we begin? There are so many questions to be asked on the problem but there is no answer on how to prevent this type of situation from occurring. There have been public meetings on these prob lems and hopefully these meet ings will give us a start on pre venting the problems from con tinuing or worsening. It's very difficult to explain to the youth Ness Warm Springs, Oregon $2.1 4 totals up to $256.80 put it To the Editor, Is the proposed monthly rate increase of $2.14 by Pacific North west Bell to compensate for a pos sible miscalculation in their plan to provide toll free service to the Cul ver Metolius areas? Why should I have to pay for someone else's possible mistake? If this proposed rate change is forced on me, would the Culver Metolius areas care to do a "neigh borly" recompensation to our area. Warm Springs, to share our toll free service costs that we paid for on our own? I haven't seen any articles in the papers guaranteeing a rate freeze or a rate reduction by Pacific North west Bell should this proposal be accepted. I haven't seen any arti cles explaining how I could possi bly benefit from paying for a phone service that I don't need, didn't ask for. and most likely won't use. I haven't seen any articles explain ing why I ought to be in contact with those by phone. If I wanted to get in touch, I'd rather drive over as it is a nice ride and the Old Court house Gift Shop is better appre Thanks, tourney success To the Editor, The Weekend Warrior tourna ment comittee would like to take the time and space to acknowledge, all those who made our tourna ment possible. Our list is long but we feel it is important that we rec ognize all those that lent us a hand. As a committee we tried to treat everyone as we would like to be treated if we were the visitors. We could only get six teams into the bracket but we filled in with a 13 and under round robin. We had two scrimmage games with Marine Corps Color Guard taking part in one of the games. I believe that the tournament was a success for the kids who came to play ball and have fun and that's what they did. Below is the list that includes our sponsors, peo ple that donated some time, gave assistance or gave advice. We thank everyone for their generosity and their assistance.

I'd rather visit personally. If this is to benefit the businesses of all these locations, why should it be added to everyone? Any rate increase to a business would logi cally be added to their overhead and figured back out through their merchandise service pricing to be paid by the customer. So they wouldn't really be affected that Marriages important community issue Hello from Pastor Rick Ribeiro, It has been nearly three years since my coming to Warm Springs. One of my greatest obstacles to ministry has been the inability to communicate with the people of Warm Springs. A letter now and then will be my attempt to keep people informed about news of the church and issues of the day. For me, issues will be most important. What issues? Well, how about marriages? I have seen slavery called a mar riage.

But the consumer would be hit twice, if they have a phone at home. To most people. $2. 14 per month may not sound like much, but it adds up to a nice amount over time. $2. 1 4 1 2 months I0ycars $256.80. That's a lot if your income is limited! I would much rather put my monthly $2.14 cents per worth into something more useful to my family... like a savings account where woman, "You are lucky to have me. No one wants a pig like you. Do as I say or else." When the man has a feeling of ownership over his woman, it is slavery. For me to be using the phrase 'man and his woman' is local "speak" which is used to describe a marriage. Poor communication. A couple may lack the skills to relate to each other. Or marry for the wrong rea sons to escape an unhappy life at home, to avoid a past relationship or because of pressure from par ents or society. Wrong attitudes. Couples who see breaking up as the way to solve problems instead of taking neces sary steps to sustain the marriage. They don't know themselves. Marriage partners who really don't know themselves may fail to under stand the needs of their mate or their values in life. What, then, is marriage? The partnership of marriage is fidelity, commitment and permanence. To do the three, you must love your partner, love yourself and, to plug into M source Of love lovC God. i, por more on a eood marriage, call me at 553-1237.
