During the month since the pageant was announced, only one young woman expressed interest in the contest. We had hoped more than twenty young Ute women who qualify and are eligible to enter would contact us. .We have had excellent representatives of the Ute people in previous years. We have placed in the National Miss Indian America Pageant, the Miss Indian Utah Pageant, the Miss National Congress of American Indians Pageant, and the local U. B. I. C. Ind&if Princess Pageant. With this kind of record in past years, we would think there are young women of this tribe who would want to participate in these pageants and carry on the tradition which has been set. The Miss Ute Tribe Pageant could easily be phased out. However, we feel this is a beneficial program for our young ladies. The experience of meeting people, of travel, of participating is one of learning and growth. It is encouraging when our Tribal council is behind this pageant. It is encouraging they are interested in the young people through this pageant. We encourage all Ute young women between the ages of 17 and 25 and who are enrolled members of the tribe to enter this pageant. The winner must be an enrolled member of the tribe since tribal funds will be used for her travel and for financing the pageant. All contestants will have an equal chance in the pageant. No one will be favored. Judges will not be members of the Ute Tribe and will be from outside the reservation. Talent is not required for this pageant. It will be a shame if this pageant if phased out because of lack of interest from this group of Ute girls. There are many girls in the elementary and junior high schools whom we have to think about. These girls may become beauty winners in the future. Do not spoil it for your little sisters or cousins. All you need to do is pick up an application form in the Public Relations Office before the pageant date, Thurs., Sept. 20. ; . TfieUtfox Dear Mrs. Cole: I would like to be put on the mailing list for the Ute Bulletin. And, if my cousins in Winnebego, Nebraska, arent getting it, I would like them put on too. They are the children of Milton LaRose, enrolled members. Their address is: Mrs. Anna Bell LaRose, Winnebego, Nebraska. Judy, On the reverse side is a poem I wrote in honor of my grandmother. It just came to me while I was watering my lawn one evening and I just felt it had to be written down. It's written exactly as it passed through my mind starting with the first word and ending the same way. I thought Td forget it by the time I got in the house to write it down but I didn't.
