Several girls had originally chosen to run for queen. However, personal commitments and illnesses caused the girls not to run. How ever, two girls, Ramona Lopez and Estomina Made, each did a terrific job selling tickets. Ramona sold 1,230 and Estomina sold 950 tickets. Each girl received 25 per cent of her sales, j We also want to thank our dance judges and floor managers. With out their keen and watchful eyes, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly. , Of course, the powwow wouldn't have been the success it was had it not been for the people who attended just to watch or to actu ally get into the competition. We thank everyone for their support and faith in our endeavor. Honor ing our veterans is very important, for it is by their grand efforts, whether during war or in peace time, that we are able to participate in and conduct such powwows and other events. Again, thank you. We're already planning next year's event. "Father Forgets" ix one of those little pieces which dashed off in a moment of sincere feeling strikes an echoing chord in so many read ers as to become a perennial reprint favorite. Since its first appearance, jorne fifteen years ago, "Father Forgets" has been reproduced, writes the author, W, Livingston Lamed, "in hundreds of magazines and house organs, and in newspap ers the country over, ft has been reprinted almost as extensively in many foreign languages. I have given personal permission to thou- bye, Daddy!" and 1 frowned, and said in reply, "Hold your shoulders back!" Then it began all over again in the late afternoon. As I came up the road I spied you, down on your knees, playing marbles. There were holes in your stockings. I humil iated you before your boy friends by marching you ahead of me to the house. Stockings were expan siveand if you had to buy them you would be more careful! Imagine that, son, from a father! Do" you remember, later, when I come lo your bedside in the dark ness, and I have knelt there, ashamed! It is a feeble atonement; I knew you would not understand these things if I told them to you during your waking hours. But tomorrow I will be a real daddy! I will chum with you, and suffer when you suffer and laugh when you laugh. I will bite my tongue when impatient words come. I will keep saying as if it were a ritual: "He is nothing but a boy a little boy!" I am afraid that I have visualized youasaman, Yet as I see you now, son, crumpled, and weary in your cot, I see that you are still a baby. Yesterday you were in your moth er's arms, your head on hei shoulder. I have asked too much too much. Veteran's Powwow Sincerely, Committee Members Did you win?

It has been 'on the air' on countless occasions and programs. Oddly enmough, college periodi cals have used it, and high school magazines. Sometimes a little piece seems mysteriously to 'click '. This one certainly did. " Listen, son: I am saying this as you lie asleep, one little paw crump led under your cheek and the blond curls stickily wet on your damp forehead. I have stolen into your room alone. Just a few minutes ago, as I sat reading my paper in the library, a stifling wave of remorse swept over me. Guiltily I ' came to your bedside. These are the things I was think ing, son: I had been cross to you. I scolded you as you were dressing for school because you gave your face merely a dab with a towel. I took you to task for not cleaning your shoes. I called out angrily when you threw some of your things on the floor. At breakfast I found fault, too. You spilled things. You gulped down your food. You put your elbows on the table. You spread butter too thick on your bread, j And as you started off to play and I made for my train, you turned and waved a hand and called, "Good ' look. in your eyes? When I glanced up over my paper, impatient at the interruption, you hesitated at the door. "What is it you want?" I snapped. You said nothing, but ran across in one tempestuous plunge, and threw your arms around my neck and kissed me, and your small arms tightened with an affection that God had set blooming in your heart and which even neglect could not wither. And then you wer , gone, pattering up the stairs. Well, son, it was shortly after wards that my paper slipped from my' hands and a terrible sickening fear came over me. What has habit been doing to me? The habit of finding fault, of reprimanding this was my reward to you for being a boy. It was not that I did not love you; it was that I expected too much of youth. I was measur ing you by the yardstick of my own years. And there was so much that was good and fine and true in your character. The little heart in you was as big as the dawn itselfover the wide hills.. This was shown by your spontaneous impulse to'rush in and kiss me good night. Nothing else matters tonight, son. I have Smith seeks help in catching burglars, thieves To the Editor, I will pay a $300 reward for information leading to the break in and theft of three rifles that were stolen from my house on Bray Street in West Hills here in Warm Springs. Two 308s with scopes and one 30.30 with no scope were stolen. The break in took place on Tues day, October 23 betweep the hours of 7 and 10 p.m. while I was gone to our tribal budget meeting at the Agency Longhouse. They (the thieves) made sure I was gone. The person or people who did this awful thing to me must be a special breed of no good shifties, lazy knot heads. It's really too bad we have people like them to put up with. They can't make it, so they steal from us who can. They are the low and cheap kind. It's getting so you just can't trust hardly anyone any more. Stealing is really low especially when it's from your own people. "Who did it??" At this writing I have a few clues. It's just a matter of time and they will be known. To you thieves out there, 111 be look ing and listening for you all the time, as you have a monkey on your back and you'll always be lookin' over your shoulder most of the time as this theft is on your . qonscience and always will be.

Toe Ness There was these two burglars who were breaking into a safe when the alarm went off: One said, "Here comes the cops, we'd better jump out the window." The other said, "Wait a minute,.we're on the 1 3th floor." The first burglar said, "This is no time to be superstitious. Jump!" YIKES SS SS SS A minister wound up the services one morning by saying, "Next Sunday I am going to preach on the subject of liars. And in this connection, as a preparation for my discourse, I should like you all to read the 17th chapter of Mark." On the following Sunday, the preacher rose to begin, and said, "Now, then, all of you who have done as I requested and read the 1 7th chapter of Mark, pleases raise your hands." Nearly every hand in the congregation went up. Then, said the preacher. "You are the people I want to talk to. There is no 1 7th chapter of Mark." YIKES SS SS SS Teacher: "I hope I didn't see you looking at someone else's paper, Billy." Billy: "I hope so, too, teacher." Yikes SS SS SS I'm sure the thieves won t return my rifles as they are too chicken, so I'll have to find them. I have a lot of people to assist me. ,1 I I. ... ..... ... Lmi jjAnHB- i . -.
