Letters to the Editor

We are always speaking on how
to create employment forourtribal
members. We are always trying
to find sources for jobs and in
come for our people.
People don t try to do things on
their own. There are all kinds of
things a person could do to find
means of income. Look into the
small business area. Could be
there is something a person could
do on his own. People don't have
to have some one hold their hands
and say, "do this, or do that." You
can do it your self.
Take Farming, Livestock etc.
there are two things a person could
do. There is plenty of idle land
around here. But it takes a lot of
hard work to do these things. With
the price of hay now days, it would
almost pay to grow your own hay. That sounds pretty simple doesn't
it. It probably would be a money saver if on did grow his own hay for
his livestock.
Yep! It would take a lot of hard work though even if a person turned
to be a part time farmen. It would take Farm Machinery to get going
in fanning. A person would need a tractor, plow, harrow, disk, a drill,
mowing maching, a hay baler.
When a person has all that equipment than it would take time to
work the land over. Actually it wouldn't take as much time as your fore
fathers took, because today you have the modern equipment to work
with. With the plows now day's there are the two bottom and three
button plows for the light tractor and even larger plows for the larger
tractors. So actually it wouldn't take a real lot of time to plow up a field,
harrow and drill in the crop. Now days there are the sprinkling systems
where you can irrigate even on the hill sides and just about anywhere
as compared to the Olden days where irrigation was done by gravity
flow onto the fields. , .
Can you imagine farming in the Olden days with a team of horses
and a one bottom walking plow, yet there were acres and acres of land
farmed each year. Imagine just how farm each person had to walk
behind that plow and team of horses each year. But yet in them Olden
day's all the workable land as in use, with crops growing like as that
song goes, "With golden waves of grain." There were more acres
plowed and seeded than than there are today with all the modern
equipment almost like a push button affair, and we can't grow crops.
Each year most stockmen here have to buy their hay for the winter
months, which can be pretty costly. Just recently I saw an article in one
of the old Tomahawks where hay was selling for $25.00 per ton in the
field and $28.00 per ton from the stack as compared to the prices of
today which range from $95.00 to $135.00 per ton. Just a little bit
different from the Olden days, "HUH!"
Or a person could go in to livestock business, which also takes a lot
of hard work to make it work. But still you'd be your own boss if a
person wanted to venture into something like this. NUFF NOW!!
AHH-NAH-CHI-TOON!!

"Well," here we go again, like a continuos scene from last year
where the streets were torn up and left setting.
This year Crews came in and really done a bang up job on tearing
the streets apart and whats happened. The crews are all gone with just
traffic cones and tape preventing any parking.
Meantime all the Tribal Court, Natural Resources employees have
no place to park during the day. Even the people who serve on the jury
find it difficult to find parking space . Makes it kind of crowded
around the Post Office area. Well Lets hope the crews return shortly
and Finnish the streets so we can live Happily Ever After.

To the Editor,
This letter will be long, but I must
write it to apologize to a young man
and his two sons who were at the
Dairy Queen last night (Friday, April
8).
In our booth were myself, my
husband and some of our family. We
were discussing our crowded schools
and I was asked why we had so many
more sixth grade classes at Buff El
ementary (9) as compared to the fifth
grade classes (6). I was explaining
that the extra sixth graders were the
kids bused in from Warm Springs,
and that originally they were brought
in at the seventh grade level. I made
the statement that it was really too
hard for the kids to have to come
straight from a self-contained class
room situation to a new school in a
new town plus going from class to
class. It was like giving them a
"double whammy " and was very hard
to handle that much all at once. The
decision was made to bring them in
at the sixth grade level,, which is still
aself-containedclassroom. That way,
they could get used to a new school
and coming into Madras before they
went to a class-to-class situation ( all
this was done years ago).
Then, to our surprise, Grand

mother spoke up and said, "Yes, and
(Mrs. So and So) used to say that
we'd bring them in, try to teach them
and give them an education, and
they'd go right back to the way they
were." There followed a deathly si
lence and acute embarrassment in
our booth, for seated next to us was
the young Indian man and his boys. I,
who am usually pretty quick with a
come-back, was utterly tongue-tied!
The subject was immediately

the thing that grieved me most was to

around, I thought it had been forgotten
years ago.

an unkind remark
children's classmates rise to impor
tant positions in their community. As
further proof, I would invite anyone
to read this paper (Spilyay Tymoo)
and see that there are great things
happening in Warm Springs that
could only be done by dedicated,
hard-working people.
so, to the young man, whose iden
tity I do not know, please accept our
apologies for an unkind remark.

Let stories pass three gates
Hello, from Pastor Rick,
Gossip has been on my mind and
much t my ears...So here is a saying
with great truth and great wisdom.
Three Gates
If you are tempted to reveal a tale
to you someone has told about
another, make it pass, before you
speak, three gates of gold These
narrow gates; three: First, "Is it true?"
Then, "Is it needful?" In your mind

Merrissa James said of her sur
real drawing, "It just came out of
me." Like "Bear Paw", much of
Merrissa's artwork seems to just flow
from her. But, since she has been
encouraged to draw since she was
young child, she is able to draw
whatever comes to mind.
Shasta Smith discovered how
much she liked to paint this year,
even when she was done with ceramic
projects, she and Rose Scott would
choose to pull out the tempera paints.
Shasta's work always seems effort
less, but she is quick to solve visual
problems and has a wonderful sense
of color.
Rose Scott has a strong sense of
design and composition and a sense
of humor which has shown up in her
design "One Too Many".
Kenneth Danzuka, a seventh
grader, has not produced a great deal
of art in nine weeks. However, it was

who values schooling, and I think
she felt sad that anyone would waste
an education.

long enough to see that Kenneth en
joys drawing and does so frequently,
thus, his painting "S unrise and Eagle"
shows that ability.
The four ceramics students rep
resented in the show, Marie Kalama,
Kevin Williams, Eugene Wewa and
Chris Clements were all able to form
pots that were difficult to make and
were creative in surface decoration.
Michael Speakthunder was most
creative with the sculpture clay head
assignment, creativity being one of
Michael's strengths. Kevin Wil
liams' technical abilities with clay,
especially in the area of finishing and
smoothing the clay, is far beyond
general junior high abilities. I look
forward to more creative works by
Marie, Eugene and Chris.
Their artwork can be viewed at
The Museum at Warm Springs from
May 13 to June 10 in the changing
exhibit gallery.
