PACE 4 September 9, 1988 Warm Springs, Oregon Spilyay Tymoo Editorial E Coosfa EEWA: (The way It Is) Letters to the Editor Spifysy Spoab" All support for team greatly appreciated Editors Where has the summer gone? Here it is school time once again. The big Labor Day a weekend, during which many families have their last fling at an out-door binge, has come and gone. The three-day holiday saw people tra veling to get in some last minute fishing, water skiing, boating and picnicking while others were tra veling to get to the mountain to get some of the cool, brisk air. The shopping malls were packed as crowds of parents and kids were out getting that last-minute school shopping done. Well, let's face it, the Labor Day weekend marked the close of the summer vacation for all the kids. For the eager kids, it has been a week or so preparing for fall sports, football practice, volleyball, cross country...the young ath letes out preparing themselves for their league competition. There were several athletic camps the kids attended also during the summer months. There were basketball camps, volleyball camps that gave a lot of the kids valuable experience for the coming year. Speaking about traveling...The Labor Day weekend was one big headache and frustration. No matter where people go there are always the ones who try to get there ahead of everyone else. They are in such a hurry that they make traveling dangerous, they go zooming in and out of the traffic.pasing cars, sometimes passing cars where they shouldn't. Ahhh! Here is the clincher. There are some people who feel as though they own the highways by driving about 45 to 50 miles per hour, holding up traffic and when they come to a passing lane, they speed up to where just a few cars can pass them up and what happens after they leave the passing lanes? You guessed it! They slow back down to 45 and 50 miles per...gets frustrating. To top it off, usually at the passing lane, another driver just takes his time passing to where it takes him the wHole passing lane to get by and holds up other traffic. It's no wonder that people on the freeways in California shoot at one another. Well, let's face it. Labor Day isn't like it used to be. Remember way back, when all the kids would do on Labor Day is have a big not at Seaside? It used to be calm and quiet and not the rush-rush of today's traffic.

Adams Look who's 21! Happy birthday, Deanna! On September 18, 1957, you brought much happiness, by your birth, to the Stwyer and Brown families. On the fifth day of your life, as per tradition then, a huge wedding trade and diaper trade was per formed in your honor. Many bless ings, prayers and foresights were said for you as well as all the love and passing you one to another all day. This did not spoil you. One day, as you sat on your father's lap, he prophesied that you were to be a precious child and that you would graduate from high school with honorary tassles, achieving the highest grades any Indian ever gained. This you did. I never doubted that you could do it, because in 1962, Helena, Marilena, Natalie, Marissa, Levi, Lonnie and you graduated from kindergarten in Metolius. In those days the parents were responsible for tuition, supplies, snacks and transportation. So we, the parents. formed a carpool. We never had to worry about little pranks played on a little boy who seemed to never have enough sleep now, did we? And when this same lil one played the angel in the annual Christmas program, how proud we were. Your upcoming birthday has brought me a number of beautiful memories and higlights in your life some sadness, many happy times. When you left to go to the many colleges you attended, how I hated to see you go so far away. Not even the death of a precious brother during your schooling set you far back. Your goals were set. I have seen you grow and for your own betterment. I want to share with you on your birthday this saying by Sherri Melsby: "A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him." And too, from the saying of my father, "Whatever lays in store for you, accept it for we do not ques tion the works of our Lord." With all my love, Happy birthday! Neda Wesley Thanks extended by family To the Editor, This is to the people who pur chased raffle tickets for Gerald Sampson, Jr.'s fund-rasing (Inter national Sports Exchange in Europe) in June and July.

"Church" explained by Pastor Hello from Pastor Rick, iff 1K Well, it's half past August, and time once again to write a newslet ter to everyone. Let mi: begin the first newsletter of the year to talk about the church. First, as the childrens' song says, "The church is not a building, the church is the people." The Presby terian church is the people who walk through the doors of the building on Sunday morning. Again, the church is the arranged and deliberate time for people who have the Lord within to come to gether and take care of each other. One with prayer to pray for some one who needs prayer. Or one with compassion to be compassionate. Again, the church is the arranged and deliberate time to bring people with power (Jesus within) together to concentrate the effect of prayer to have a greater affect on some- Love.
