To the Editor,
November II is Armcstice
Day or Veterans Day, a day set
aside for all servicemen who
served in the armed forces.
Memories of Pearl Harbor,
North Africa, Italy, the Nor
mandy Invasion, the battles of
of the Corral Seas, the Soloman
Islands and IwoJinia willallbe
remembered.
Also to be remembered are
the sounds of battle in Seoul,
Tacjon, Teagu, Changjin Reser
vior, Hungnam and Inchon.
Dan Nang, Hue, Khc Sanh,
Dien Bien Phu, Plieku, Ho Chi
Minh Trail.
Names of places men who
served will remmember always.
The tough times hardships men
faced are now in the past but
strong feelings remain. Veterans will soon have a day set aside to
honor fallen comrades and to honor all who served in the armed
forces in times of need.
Everyone has their own memories of those times. Some
remember trudging up the long tough trail from Africa through
Italy, others remember the Normandy Invasion, while others
remember the island strong holds of the Japanese. The battle of
Tarawa, Siapan, I wo Jima, Okinawa. The days of world war when
the end looked so far away until they dropped the "Bomb."
Then came the North Korean invasion of South Korea. U.S.
called on its boys again for some police action, which turned out to
be just as tough as any war that was ever fought. "The forgotten
war." Korea, which is considered one. of the most mountainous
countries in the world, staged some bloody battles. In Korea it was
the first time men took the top of a hill without taking a step.
That's where the use of the helicopter was introduced for move
ment of troops. This method was used throughout the Vietnam
war.
But no matter where men served, there was the hardships of long
battles. And no matter which war he served in, the veteran should
feel proud to have served his country, especially under Old Glory.
Yes, Veterans Day will be here and we will once again pay tribute
to all thoe who gave their lives for everyone to be free.

Attorney questions
hearing requirements
Levi Bobb
The following letter was directed to
Tribal Council on October 9, 1989.
To the Editor,
I read with outrage the new
Juvenile Code that allows up to 60
days before a jurisdictional hearing
is held in a child custody case. See
Warm Springs Tribal Code
360.230(2). The hearing require
ment was once 10 days, then the
court changed it by its own rules to
20 days and now you've changed it
to 60 days. Do you realize what
you have done to the poor children
who don't really understand why
thev have been taken awav from
their mom? They dont have the
same sense of time as adults. Two
days away from Mom can be eter
nity and now youVe sentenced them
to 60 days.
I hereby request that you hold a
special Tribal Council meeting to
discuss this issue. And, furthermore,
I ask members of the community to
talk to your Tribal Council repre
sentative about this issue and, if a
meeting is held, to please attend.
Sincerely,
Celeste Whitewolf

In an attempt to provide tasteful
and economical funeral servcices,
Madras Evergreen Chapel is cur
rently offering a complete funeral
package for $500.
The special includes initial pro
fessional services of the funeral
director Frank Fitzgerald and his
staff; embalming or cleansing and
disinfection; restoration of the
deceased when necessary; use of
the Chapel facilities for dressing
services or transfer of necessry
equipment to a location on the
' reservation for dressing; transfer of
the body from the place of death,
within a 50 mile radius of the Mad
ras; use of graveside equipment;
funeral coach and driver; traditional
Indian pine casket with no interior;
an outer box and memory cards
and memorial book.
Fitzgerald explained that if
another casket is desired, the cost
of the special would be the price
difference between the special and
the cost of the chosen casket.
The special offers substantial sav
ings, as a typical Indian funeral
runs about $2,000, said Fitzgerald.
"We're offering a really conserva
tive service that offers everything a
family needs."
A recent face lift of the Chapel
has given the building a more mod
ern look as Fitzgerald has added
new siding, windows and an out
side covered waiting area. Further
remodeling will include a different
family room, more seating and a
fellowship hall with a kitchen for
families from out of town. '
Fitzgerald also added he is ex
panding the headstone business he
now offers. Families can choose
from stone that comes from all
over the world. A truck is in Mad
ras once a month to provide servi
ces to the Chapel.
