Powwow a success Message child- "I'll do better"
To the Editor,
Wc, the committee of the First
Annual Veteran's Powwow would
like to acknowledge and thank the
following people for their assist
ance and hard work during the
powwow November 9 and 10.
Our cooks were Margaret Sup
pah, Neda Wesley, Allegra Tufti,
Eliza Brown, Pat Brown, Lamont
Brown and Bobby James. The meals
were excellent and on time. We
thank you for your great efforts.
; Wc thank the following busi
nesses and individuals for their
monetary support of the powwow.
Ira's, Juniper Auto, Southside
Market, Ed Sites, marie Glenn,
Satterlees, Olscns, Charlotte Herk
shan, Carol Allison, Estelle Sin
clair, Second Hand Rose, George
Schneider, Shaniko Texaco, Sha
niko Selectables, Barbara Jim, the
Food Booth, Ken Smith, Howard
Arnett, Doug McClelland and Ed
Manion.
We also thank Jim Pennington
for his donation of 1,000 cups,
plates, spoons, forks and knives,
and the Ladies Auxiliary for the
donation of 500 plates, cups, spoons
and forks.
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.

Sincerely,

countless occasions and programs.
Oddly enmough, college periodi

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.
Need papers to start your fire?
. Spilyay has old papers for your use.
Come to the office to pick them up
before they go to the recycling bins.

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

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

Teacher: "I hope I didn't see you looking at someone else's paper, Billy."
Billy: "I hope so, too, teacher." Yikes

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.

To the Editor,
I, Darrin Tewee, apologize for
the wrong things I have done in the
past to my tribal people. I have
learned my lesson by doing the
things I should have done a long
time ago by going through treat
ment and other community things.
Thank you,
