SVIhYb-Y
The Pi-um-sha days are in
the past as tribes from all parts
of the Pacific northwest
gathered to celebrate with the
Warm Springs people during
the week end. People like
celebrations and will ravel miles
and miles to attend a pow-wow.
Sometimes I can't
understand why we celebrate
the treaty signing anniversary.
Where we had to give up
millions of acres of land and
moved onto a small reservation
to live. "Oh well, if you can't
beat-um join-um.
Take the fourth of July, the
dav the declaration of
independence was signed for
all Americans to be free and live in a country of our own and to
defend it with our lives if necessary.
Today everything is taken for granted. Many people don't
stop to realize why we celebrate the fourth of July. To most
people it's just a holiday and a day away from the job. Some
people don't even know what the fire works represent, all it is to
them is pretty explosions in the air at night, and why the
American flag is displayed all over on the fourth of July.
Yep! like I said, to some its just a paid holiday. Why do all
Americans are ready to defend the old Red, White and Blue, Old
Glory, the Stars and Stripes. Men and women are ready to stand
behind the country to fight for our rights to be free. As a matter
of fact would we be able to have a pow-wow if we were under
the Communist rule?
Take Memorial Day, at one time memorial day was set aside
to honor all those who died fighting for our country. But as time
passed it opened up to everyone in a family to remember loved
ones that have passed on. Today it's called decoration, a day to
honor all family members where everyone goes to the cemetery
and put flowers on loved ones.
In the past there used to be a day called Armistice day which
was on November 1 1 , as that was the day World War one came
to an end in 1917. And that was a great occasion to celebrate.
When the Yanks returned from the war in Europe when the
Yanks said they wont be back until it's over, "over there," When
the first World War was over there was a lot to celebrate at that
time. And now after W.W.II, the Korean War, as the Korean war
was referred to, "The Forgotten War, a war that wouldn't last but
a few days at the most when it first started in June 1950, a little
police action to get it straightened out, and Vietnam war, another
country where US servicemen were to act as aids in training the
South Vietnamese in warfare and that was all it was to amount
to until the Vietcong started shooting at the US servicemen,
which turned out to be the 1 0,000 day war, where many U S boys
lost their lives.. Now Armistice day is referred to as Veterans
day.
Yep! Times come and times change like a current in a stream
that passes by and no one gives it much thought but even the
stream bed changes right along with everything else. There are
times we should never lose the reason why we have set a special
day aside for. Just like the "Wide Spot," is now in the memories
of the past, but there are a few people who still remember the
"WideSpot." ! ! ! Ahh-Nah-Chi-Toon ! ! !

Tom: Could you lend me $5.00?
Old Man: Lend you what?:
Tom: Five dollars.
Old Man: Oh, you had better go back to the one-dollar ear.

Jackson praises church youth group
To the Editor,
I wish to thank the Youth Group
of the Presbyterian Church of Warm
Springs for the great jobs they did for
me last month, namely: mowing the
law, pulling weeds from the flower
beds. (No to worry that a few new
shoots from my poppy species were
also cleared out.. ..the wind planted
them and some do resemble weeds).
Already spent blossoms from two of
six lilac shrubs were removed.. .a job
that is much too tall for my reach.
Then it was time to rest. Two of
the boys said they wanted to help in
the kitchen. I though t myself, "Well,
we'll give it a try!" The fruit was
sliced to perfection, as was the ar
rangement on the tray. All the group
pitched in to do their part in setting
up the table and chairs on the patio
and with most of the yard work done
they proceeded in conversations of
youthful humor which brightened our
usual perspectives of every-day liv
ing. Then questions started flying,
such as, "Who took that last piece of
cantaloupe. ..apple. ..etc.? Where did
all those sausages go? It always
ended, "No mc.nor me. ..Oh well, I
had all I wanted!" It was so encour
aged to hear the fun in their voices,
and they had just don a day's work
and more.
This is the new youth group of
whom all Warm springs can be proud.
During all of this activity, I heard to

foul language, no signs of selfish
ness nor heard any remarks of "mak
ing fun of others." No to say that
they don't ever do that, but that day
was to get the job done and that they
did.
Today, the poppies are blooming
and are a beautiful sight to see.
In case you have not noticed this
group before, they regularly clean
our streets and by-ways of trash that
"others" are so inclined to decorate
in "their" styleL.i.e. "Throwing it
down for someone else to pick up."
When was the last time you picked
up trash that otherwise made us and
our community look messy? Or, have
you offered ever to help your par
ents, grandparents or friends or a
senior to clean, rake and make more
beautiful their living quarters with
beautiful flowers, shrubs or
grass. ..or.. .or just a friendly smile
and a hearty "hello"?
It's important that you personally
recognize these young girls and boys
by complimenting them whenever
the opportunity presents itself.
I can recall when many of you

who are now our "young adult" lead
ers here and elsewhere, both men and
women, who, because Vern Jackson
gave some of his time, talents to
teach you what a difference you could
make for your people. Now, in time,
you have made a difference in the
progress and welfare of your com
munity. A "tip 'o the hat" to Rick Ribciro
and other volunteers who so will
ingly give much of their spare time to
coach, teach and otherwise promote
good-will, not only for the youth's
benefit, but for those of us who occa
sionally get to see them perform. The
biggest plus, by far, is that the youth
learn first-hand how much fun it can
be to grow up having fun that helps
others. Cheers! Cheers! Cheers! to
these youth for giving some of their
time which results in fun for Every
one. The youth group consists of Sarah
Ribeiro, Emily Mitchell, Amy
Ribeiro (who was ill this time), Levi
Dowty, JP and Chris DeBiaso, Tilton
Mitchell and Armondo Ruiz.
