Men will be
missed
To the editor,
Milan Smith and Albert Wyatt
were important people in our lives
when we lived at Warm Springs. It is
with sadness that we read of their
passing.
Milan wasoneof the coaches when
Bill and Joe Schlick played Little
League baseball, giving them many
happy experiences during those long
ago summers.
Al Wyatt's fine cooking and ge
nial manner with the children made
Bill, Kitty and Joe want to stay at
school for lunch instead of coming
home.
We send our condolences to their
families. The men will be missed.

What this refers to is, some people have a personal gripe with
certain individuals and try to use Spilyay Tymoo as a middle person
on expressing personal feelings towards these people which is slan
derous and degrading. People should deal directly with who they are
having disputes with and not get others involved. Sometimes discus
sions between individuals can work wonders rather than beating
around the bush.
From time to time we receive letters to the editor that are personal
and are slanderous attacks on certain personnel of the tribal organization
handled between the two parties involved and not
v with personal leelings. hp ll people wonder wny some letters to me District509-J'sChaptcrI-Migrant

; For heavens sake, don't people ever learn? I read in the paper, the
; Oregonian, where drug charges give suspension to relief pitcher Steve
; Howe, in baseball. He has faced similar charges in the past and if a
; person is so stupid to rely on drugs, they should be suspended.
; Not only the athletes who depend on drugs but there are others who
I are equally guilty, and stupid to continue the use of drugs. Don't know
; why people have to look to drugs to keep them going. They are just
; sick. In the Olden Day's drugs were unheard of and all the athletes

I be a mental problem where people have to rely on drugs to keep them

; But times change over the years, nothing stays the same. Just like
J in the past some people can remember when "Gay," was being happy
and "Cuss words were dirty." Well, who knows what's next in store
: for the future generations. AHH-NAH-CHI-TOON! ! !

This sure looks like a bad year from the water stand-point. With the
big drought, some springs and small streams that used to flow year
; round are drying up. There are a lot of small springs that have dried up
! already and water for the stock in the higher country is scarce.
This could make a fire hazard as all the grass has turned yellow, and
: dry as a bone. In many communities here in Central Oregon they are
' warning home owners to be prepared for wild fires. In some areas there
are a lot of shrubbery near homes that should be removed and cleared
out. All home owners should have some plan of attack on the wild
fires. Fire is something not to be messed with, cause it can get pretty
hot.
There already have been some pretty hot fires around the Bend area
where homes have been burned out. Well I guess we'll just have to give
up smoking in the woods for fearof fires....it only gives you bad breath
anyway! AHH-NAH-CHI-TOON.
To the editor,

Evette proud of Warm Springs graduates' accomplishments
To the editor,
I just read the Spilyay Tymoo for
the month of June and was very
happy, and so proud to see, and read
all the ones from Warm Springs,
Oregon who all graduated from high
school, and the 5th grade this year.
Education is very important, and
number one to us all down here on
earth! Amen.

don't want to
risk family
To the editor:
I'm writing to humble myself and
ask forgiveness from my wife Jana
E. Jackson. I myself is very much to
blame for our separation. I'm sorry
for all my wrong doings, that is why
I'm asking for another chanceat being
a better person and devoted husband,
regardless of my past failures of be
coming a responsible husband and
father. I hope I can become the true
friend my wife needs. My marriage
does mean a lot to me. I need to
develop a method that I can control
and work on so our relationship
marriage can grow. I know my anger
is a big part of my downfall with my
spouse. I just need time to work my
behaviors out. I just hope my mar
riage ain't at risk for what I did. I'm
very sorry. I just want my wife to
know I do love her very much, same
goes to my three daughters. I don't
want to lose any of them.
Sincerely,

I would like to thank the Elliott

days shy of being a forty year mem

There was this moron on the Olympic Wrestling Team. While
wanning up for his match he injured his groin. The doctor told him to
drink plenty of orange juice after a hot bath.
Later that day the doctor called to see how he was doing, "Are you
drinking the orange juice?" the doc asked.
"Gimme ah break," said the moron, "I've still got half the bath to
drink yet" YIKES
