. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR . ... Dear Smoke Signals , I see your smoke always going out but no return signals coming in. So I will take this time to speak my "'peace". I think this is a good thing going for Grand Ronde, a cemetery, we can be proud of. It is looking better each year. Now we can enjoy it without work ing our heads off. Like anything else, it takes support. I see only a few names for individual donations for cemetery land fund. Some have their name on more than twice. The record for doantions was attached to the Sept. 9th meeting. I can hardly wait until we have a long house. We haven't had anything before that we could say was "ours". So let us pitch in and get the land and long house going, times a wastin'. An Interested Indian To The Editor: In sharing my views of receiving and reading your little Smoke Signals paper, I must say I enjoy it very much, I being an old timer of Grand Ronde, it's news to me. I hope to attend your meetings when I'm down your way. At present I live here in Tacoma. Say "Hello" to ray Grand-niece Candy Robertson! Thank you. .
