4 July 3, 1997 Warm Springs, Oregon SpilyayTymoo E Coosh EEWA: 77k? way it is A. The 4th of July. ..the 1 T g Declaration of Independence that was signed in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776, laid down the principles which have been the foundation stones of human progress ever since. ..the truths w hich the Continental Congress declared to be self-evident, although, somehow, most of the world had failed to take notice of them. The Declaration established, and the world steadily followed the statement, "that all men arc created equal and that they arc endowed with such unalienable rights as life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The Declaration of Independence did not merely signed the birth of American freedom and American self-government, It marked the birth of freedom as an international idea. It was the inspiration for democratic movements on other continents. It raised the torch of liberty and kindled an undying flame. The American flag, the red white and blue, the stars and stripes, Old Glory. Men all across the nation are willing to put their lives on the line to protect our nation under these colors. The birth of a new nation and independence where a term used by Abraham Lincoln, "All men are created equal," there was thought that there could be some debate on that phrase. But Abraham Lincoln was the President who freed all the slaves. Many times it appears that we take this day for granted without the thought of why it was set forth. We take the day as just a holiday, a day away from the office or work place.. A day of leisure, or a day just to do nothing. Yep! there is a great deal of meaning to this day of the 4th of July, if a person would only sit and think about it. Around Indian country many look to going to pow-wows as a way to celebrate this day. Participate in contest dancing in all catagories of Indian dancing. On the fourth of July, there are all kinds of functions across the country. There are rodeos many travel to, where some do this for a living, traveling from rodeo to rodeo all summer long and way into the winter months. In the olden days there used to be fireworks stands all around the country, where live fireworks were sold. In them days when it was legal there never seemed to be any fires because all the kids knew Bike Rodeo Committee gives thanks Moses family thanks everyone To the editor, The Bike Rodeo Committee would like to thank the following individuals andor business for their support of the 1997 Bike Rodeo.

Today they proclaimed them illegal 9 rate I U I to use across the country here in Oregon but still live fireworks are available to the youngsters. Because they are illegal kids try to hide the use of them setting them off in dangerous places and that what starts fires. On the day of the fourth of July here in Warm Springs there will be a parade on the Campus to the grounds behind the Community Center with a color guard made up of local Veterans. There will be people afoot, horseback, on bikes and floats. The parade will form near the grade school and make it's way through the campus area and finally ending at the grounds behind the Community Center. After the parade there will be a Bear Bar-Be-Que, with all the trimmings, Umm, a mouth watering dish, although I've never tried the Bear Bar-Be-Que before, but it sounds good, Guess I'm just a Salmon eater. In the afternoon while the Bear is settling there will be games played on the field, fun games for everyone who wants to get into the action of things. There will be the Tug-Of-War, the Pole Race, Three legged race, and many other games like the egg toss and stuff. It will be a fun packed after noon and as dusk fall all over the place there will be the big fireworks display. This has been a tradition for years and years here in Warm Springs, the Bear Bar-Be-Que, a fireworks display and the fun games every fourth of July. Ahh-Nah-Chi-Toon!!!! To the editor, A grateful grandfather, my grand son Raymond Anderson, second old est of my son Gifford Anderson. Who was chosen, I believe of his God gifted ability to do his best in what ever he attempts and this included sports. Those of you who know him I would say he has a great personal ity, good sense of humor and as far as I know, well-liked by many. His trip to the Republic of China has proven this.
