The league nights will be Tuesdays and some Saturday evenings. ' The Chiefs participated in the Holiday Festival at Fort Hall Dec. 26 to 29. After losing their first game the Chiefs advanced to the consolation finals by defeating the Fort Hall Rookies but were unable to consistently find the basket against Big John's Sinclair and ended up in sixth place. The team shot a miserable 37 from the field. Multi-Purpos- TABLE TENNIS Those of you who enjoy table tennis are asked to sign up for a table tennis tournament which will be held during February. We hope to have enough entries to have a pryamid type tournament where each player can challenge the player above him in the bracket.

We will also sponsor a teen basketball team who will be playing against Union on Jan. 10 and 17 at Union. We hope to be able to schedule the Union girls here soon. The tribal girls team has been invited to Fort Hall and Cedar City tournaments and it is hoped they will be able to play. The tribal team will be made up of players from each team in the league. With the floor resurfacing job finally completed we are planning on many types of activities at the new building and hope we can provide something you want to do. The boys and girls activities are now going on after school and we hope the adults will let us know what they want us to have for them. We feel the bingo games will be a good adult activity and will schedule them for Whiterocks, Randlett and Fort Duchesne. NIAA TOURNAMENT The Christmas program presented by the Recreation Department did not draw the number of people we had planned on but thosewho did come out on Christmas Eve enjoyed the young peoples' performance and the treats which were provided by the Recreation Department.

There are lots of things to report, but none of it is good. A few people have died during this past year because of booze. Some have gone to prison because of booze, several cars were wrecked, a lot of fines were paid, mjmy days in jail were served, and a few marriages dissolved, but there just isn't anything good to report about booze. Several people lost their drivers license, a lot of children cried during the fights their parents had. Several people lost their jobs and there still isnt anything good to report. 1973 is all used up, the past is where it belongs, but together we can make 1974 a year that is free of booze" so lets look to 1974 where we have some control. It wont be easy, but if this problem booze is attacked by everyone on the U and 0 Reservation it can be overcome. There is hardly a family on the reservation that isnt hurt in one way or the other, by booze. Either an unde or aunt, brother or sister, mother or dad or someone close to you is dying from booze. We need to get together and help them escape from the hold booze has over them during 1974. There are no mirade cures for the booze problem, but miracles do happen when people get together and attack the same problem at one time. While the rest of the country is pretending that booze makes a James Bond" out of all the men who drink it, lets face the fact that booze has killed more Indian men than Custer ever thought of killing. While T. V. makes women seem glamorous who drink booze, let s face the fact that booze drinking women usually make poor wives and mothers. Just as booze drinking men usually make poor fathers and husbands. Lets face the truth about booze together, the truth that men and women who drink booze to excess are people who need help, and are sometimes sick enough on booze that they cant help themselves. Unless someone cares enough about them to a confront them about their drinking: excessive drinkers die. We dont want to report at this time next year that any people died because of booze, so get to know us at the Alcoholism and Drug Program, help us to overcome this booze problem. Dont just send a loved one in to see us, bring him or her in, show them that you care about them. If you know they were sick, and might die if they didnt see a doctor would you take them to the Clinic or send them? Most who drink to excess usually die frompeople it, so bring them into the Alcoholism Program, or call us and we will pick you both up and bring you in. Help us lick tfiis booze problem , truly be a Happy New Year 1974 will i |
