A very hot and dry summcrcan
be expected this year because of
the lack of snow fall during this
past winter. Even in the higher
elevations the snow pack is far
below normal at this time of the
year. Willi out snow during the
winter time many streams and
springs will go dry real soon. Even
at the present time there arc
prominent springs that have dried
uplast summcrand haven't started
to flow at all this year from the
lack of snow. So you can sec how
important snow fall is each win
ter, and it not only effects the
winter sports and recreation but
the farming and agriculture as well
and even the town watcrsupply as
well. The lack of water will create
a high fire danger because every
thing will be drying up real soon. Caution will be a must while out in
the woods this summcr...So smokers you'd better watch your"BUTTS."
Work has resumed once again on the Tcnino cut-off. That's one of
the smartest things someone has done in planning that route. When
that is complete it will really take off a lot of pressure of traffic
congestion around the Post Office and store area. There won t be
anymore logging trucks passing through the shopping area like it is at
the present time. Its no wonder that there hasn't been any tcrnble
accidents with all that traffic in that area, especially at work time and
quitting time. The traffic gets so heavy at times its frustrating. Just
when a person is in a hurry there is always a lot of backup of traffic m
that-area. The tourist season is once again upon us and that increases
the traffic within the reservation. Even with this new added access to
the qommunity there still needs to be more ways to get into the area.
Th'rs" is one of the most mixed up communities as far as streets are
concerned. There arc hardly any four corner intersections. All the
place streets run every direction, or every which way but loose. AHH-NAH-Chi-TOON!!

There was this guy who was trying to encourage his baseball-crazy
son to be more responsible. He said, "When Babe Ruth was your age
he stood on windy street comers selling newspapers fora penny each."
Unimpressed, the son replied. "When he was your age, he was rich and
famous." YIKES

Why are we enforcing the
seat belt law this summer?
Because getting you to buckle up is the most
effective thing we can do to protect you
from harm!
Thousands of people suffer long-term disabili
ties - some die - because they thought they
didn't need to wear their seat belts on a short
trip to run a Quick errand Sure, most people
wear seat belts on long trips, on freeways, or in
bad wea;her But you're most likely to get into
a crash when you least expect it onafamiha'
road, in decent weather, close to home.
Getting a ticket is a nuisance, but it s a smali
price to pay if it gets you to use your seat belt
on every trip1
Remember, most states have a seat belt law,
and an states have a child oassenge' sa'etv law
Whe'eve' you dnve this summer, please

Commodities program impressive
1 ...
To the editor,
As many of you know the Presby
terian Church opcraics the Emer
gency Food Box Program. Over the
years my list of families that came
once a month for a box of food stood
at 230 families of Warm
Springs Now, Warm Springs has
its own commodities program.
I went up to the food warehouse
and took a took at it. I looked at the
sample box of food for one person. I
wrote down all of the items in the box
and went to Macy's Market to write
down the value of the food from the
store. What I found was if you bought
the food in the box from the store it
would cost you $ 1 20.00. That is a lot
of food for one person. Now, I have
been told that the average food stamp
amount for a family of five is $300.00
a month. If this family took the food
from the commodities program they

difference tells me the best buy is the
commodities.
I know a lot of people like the
stamps, but for some having com
modities will remove the temptation
that stamps bring in sell them for
money. This brings back some honor
to their name. As Pastor I support
this program not only with these
words; The paper and soap goods we
would get at the church on occasion
will now be given out at the com
modities program (first come, first
served). Finally I ask that you be
patient with the people who run the
program. John, Patty, and Joel are
doing their best to help everyone.
They have their rules to follow, but
they will go as far as they can without
breaking the law to help you.

ous. They had been repaired too many
times, and now have gone beyond
anyone's help.
We have asked around about a
used replacement, or the cost of a
new grill. Regardless of which option
we choose, we must find some way
of earning the money to open the
trailer by Pi-Ume-Sha. As we all
know, that weekend provides a large
part of our VFW treasury for every
year.
I had planned on opening the VFW
trailer as soon as the weather im
proved, throughout Pi-Ume-Sha and
the summer including Huckleberry
Feast. Big plans brought to a halt
with the dangerous grill.
We could try raffles, bingo, or
rummage sales, but I will need some
help. If we all get together, young
and old, we can meet this challenge
with a smile. If anyone has any sug
gestions or would like to volunteer to
help or donate, let me know as soon
as possible. Raffle or bingo prizes,
rummage treasures, or simply your
help would be appreciated.
We don't have much time! Come
to the next meeting, catch me around
Springs, write Box 805, or leave a
message.
