PAGE 4 January 26, E Coosh EEWA: (The way it is) Letters to the Editor iin.n Snow, snow, snow. ..That seems to be the big topic around here at the present time.. .the only thing is, "Where is it?" It looks like we may be in for a long hot and dry summer if we don't get anymore kt that white stuff called snow I here were several Ski resorts who were hurting because of the lack of snow. At one time they even resorted to call the spiritual leaders to sing and dance for snow. What snow there is up in them there hills is not much to talk about. Traveling from here to Portland, is like traveling during the spring time when all the snow has melted away. Usually this time of the year there is a big wall of snow on each side of the roadway... maybe I'll have to talk to my big medicine to see if there is anything can be done. The biggest storm may be in the Superdome, in New Orleans as the 49ers and the Bronco's will tangle this week-end for the super bowl championship. The Bronco's going into the game a big underdog, but those things don't mean much to teams like the Bronco's and the 49ers. The 49ers looking for back to back super bowl wins, and if they do they will tie the Pittsberg Steelers who have won four championships in one decade. Me, not being a gambling guy will not mention a winner at this time (cluck, cluck). Memorial dinner set Feb. 3 'J V I I I I Happy Birthday, Dixon L. Polk!

This was because he was cutting it out of designated cutting areas. Up on orders from his supervisor, Frank Smith, Officer Florey was sent to my home to confiscate the juniper that I use for heating my home, since using electricity is too expen sive. Why was my grandson singled out? Other people cut juniper and why should this happen after my husband's funeral? Officer Florey seen him cutting it on Sunday, why wait until Tuesday to do something? Also, do Biological Technicians make home visits to pick up unused hunting tags? I am questioning recent occu rences with the Tribal Fish and Game officers and may go to the Tribal Council to get answers. Amelia Spino and Margaret Boise We all know he had to go some times. Now he is resting peaceful and don't have to suffer anymore. Once again, thank you.

" To the Editor, Our family worked in the fields of potatoes, mint and garlic, then we followed the summer crops of berries as migrant farmworkers. The bug-infested fields, the hard work for low pay and the shabby migrant housing set the perfect stage for my mother's all-time favorite lecture that always ended "...and if you don't go to school.

After high school, I headed for the city, I thought I knew all I needed to survive. I was wrong, and ended up living on the streets of Portland. There 1 learned about real poverty; and all the while, my mother's voice screamed in my mind: "...and if you don't go to school, you'll be doing this all your life!" I survived as a secretarv. but got sick and tired ot taking orders. to show respect of the Shaker faith for over twenty five years, attending off and on up until her death, we want to open the Shaker Church in her memory.

Sincerely, Dean and Jana Jackson Tataina Penney, Whitney Jackson and Courtney Jackson Again, I heard my mother's lec ture. So I guess, after twenty years, I'm forced to admit that she was right. The road to a belter life starts with an education. Now, I try to remember the words of tht lecture to tell my own tenn-aged son. But, of course, I didn't listen then. All I know for sure is that it always ended "...and if you don't go to school, you'll be doing this all your life."
