WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 27. 1S63 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON '"S-W A I INDIAN DANCERS Among the Moon Mountain Indian dancers are, lett to right, Chief High Horse (Robert Thorpe), dancers will be Chief High Horse (Robert Thorpe), left, and Chief Running Bear (Richard Thorpe). Thorpes To Teach Indian Traditions By GENEVIEVE BRIGGS Mail Tribune Correspondent Close by the Rogue river, between Grants Pass and the city of Rogue River, is rising a council house to be used by the Moon Mountain Indian dancers. Again the throb of the torn- CHANTER Bob Drake, Grants Pass Boy Scout coun selor, will act as a chanter with the dancers. Response To Drive Said Overwhelming Gold Hill Mrs. Charles Stripling, general chairman of the IOOF and Rcbekah build ing fund committee, said the response of people in the community to this project has been overwhelming. As the month of February realistic manner. The story Is draws to an end more than nortravert hv hnriv nnrf hnnd torn will fill the canyon as it did once long ago. The rattle of the bear claw and the shuf fie of moccasin feet will tell of the story of the beginning of time. Richard Thorpe (Chief Run Ding Bear) and his family are expanding the wildlife pre serve developed at their home on old Highway 99 to include the arts, customs and legends of the American Indian. The council house is being fl nanced through donations by area businessmen. For Thorpe, a dream of bringing to Jackson and Jose phine county youth the lore and traditions of the Indian will materialize. Chief Running Bear has been working for some time with the Boy Scouts, making plans to teach these boys the handicrafts of the Indians. Chief High Horse (Robert Thorpe), son of Chief Running Bear, who has Just returned from a three-year tour of duty wnn the U.S. Marine corps, will teach the boys and girls the Indian dances, how to live in the forest without cooking utensils and survive, and how to read forest trails. Few know the legends of the Indian or his rich tradi tions. Few people know that the Indian dance - unlike the white man's - tells a story. The Indian dancer takes no notice of his audience, but when he dances It is dramatic, sending chills up and down me spine. The dancing Indian relates his story In a wholly natural Rural Reflections By Maud Ziegler Applagita Valley Correspondent """TppTesate Valley RecenTlwe got into a verbal hassle with Pat Maddox, over Sterling way, over the matter of news coverage of tiie achievements of young people. Pat (and there are many others who feel this way) believes that only the bad things young people do get reported and that the worthwhile achievements of young people don't get in the newspapers. A group of local radio fans has been discussing juve nile delinquency and have been reminding each other that really many fine teenagers live in the Rogue valley and there ought to be some way of emphasizing "juvenile decency" instead of delinquency. In light of the above, it might be interesting to go back over the six issues of the Mail Tribune which were published last week and see If crime really was the only type of news printed involving young people. We did, and here's what we found. Some Examples Nine-year-olds can think up worth while things to do triplets at Salinas, Calif., wrote separate letters to President Kennedy to come to dinner some night. Their picture was in the paper in a three column spread. The Hi-Y club of Medford met and adopted constitu tion and elected officers. They had a three-city meeting In Klamath Falls. John Morrow of Medford, president of Theta Delta Phi at SOC, presented the "man of the year" award to Dr. Arthur S. Taylor. Douglas Smith of Medford, who attends the college in Ashland, visited Italy last summer, and showed slides of his trip to the Central Point Lions club. Mary Ann Carnegie, senor at St. Mary's high school in Medford, and Howard Haugen, senior at Medford high, have won the Elks' scholarship contest. They will go on to higher competition. Their pictures were In the paper, too. A large photo was in the Tribune of John E. Foley of Central Point who is a candidate for a doctorate in physics at New Mexico state university. Also shown in the photo was a photoelectric photometer which he had made in his research work. Students from four high schools of the Rogue valley participated in the Linfield college speech tournament. Three Medford students, Ruth Stiehl, Evelyn Young, and Marilyn Shepard received high honors at the Naza rcne college In Nampa, Idaho; and William Sproat of Medford received honors at the school of pharmacy at University of Colorado. 22 Of Them In All And so go the articles, 22 of them in a week's issues. Had any one noticed little items here and there saying that Miss Oregon is asked to speak at various groups? One such group asked her specifically because she is an excellent example of "teen to twenty." And Marty has strong spiritual convictions, and doesn't hesitate to men tion prayer in her life as she gives her talks. There Is not space to mention the continuous columns and columns of published accounts of scouting, 4-H, school athletics making big headlines every day, the armed services reports, exchange students, YMCA, De Molay, Job's Daughters, and many others. (Editor's Note: Our thanks to Maude for digging out in above data to prove her point. We have long held the opinion that ihoie who alledge that newspapers print only the misdeeds of young people simply do not read their papers very carefully. Such criticism has some validity in large metropolitan areas, but certainly not in the Rogue valley. In all of our travels about the Unit ed Stales never have we seen an area where more news paper spice is devoted to the positive achievements of young people. CET.) $300 has been deposited in the fund, she said. Many individual cash dona tions have been received, she noted, several from persons who are not members of el . ther fraternal group, she said, which definitely shows "true community spirit."

Moods and emotions are not portrayed on the face. Fear, grief or anger portrayal of emotion on the face is not In the Indian manner. Kalhy Thorpe, daughter of Chief Running Bear, will take part in many of the dances and assist her father. Among the newcomers lo the Moon Mountain dancers is Chief Bob Drake who is the chanter, or singer, for the dancers. Drake Is a Boy Scout counselor in Grants Pass.
