Mr.. Milo Fields, Editor

Nav Mr. Ein1I,..

Dear Mr.. Fields:
In this weeks issue of the ella.
cier Reporter there is printed an
agreement recently approved by
tn Blackfeet Tribal Council for
the management and supervision
of the mineral lands owned by
the Blackfcct Tribe for the de-
vclopmCnt and production of oil,
gas and rclascd hydrocarbons
This proposed agreement is
being published at the direction
of the Blackfcct Tribal Council
as a matter of information to
members of the Blackfcct Tribe.

Tribal Council who voted againS,
the adoption of this agreement
and have many times been asked
to explain my action and my rca.
sons for voting against the pro.
posal ! will attempt to do this
in this letter.
In order to fully understand
just what this proposal means
and what il would to future
Tribal activities. and its possible
effects upon the economy of this
area. it is first necessary to un.
dcrstand a little of how Tribal
land is leased for oil gas mining
under existing regulations.
In 1884 Congress enacted the
Indian Reorganization Act Tor
the Whceler.lloward ..cN which
allowed Indian Tribes to adop;
constitutions under which Tribal
land and other property would
be managed and Tribal business
conducted.
These constitutions were
adopted by a vote of the people
members of the Tribes - and
provided that they could only be
changed by a vote of members
Of the Tribes. The Blackfcct
Tribe adopted a constitution un.
der this authority.
The Elackfcct constitution.
among other things. provides
that the governing body of the
Blackfect Tribe shall consist of
council known as the Black.
feet Tribal Business Council.
Certain powers are vested in
this council by the constitution.
Among these powers are those
listed in Article VI. Section l (c)
which provide that the Tribal
Council shall have the power ito
manage all economic affairs and
enterprises of the Blackfcct Res.
ervation. including all OF! leases
on Tribal lands and the DISPOSE.

IN DARE COUNTY STYLE

In the good old custom of the Dare County Commission
who believe everything should be boluxed up there
any way to do they have selected this week. of ali weeks
when the Lost Colony is opening to tear down the
county JAIL up the courthouse grounds and to begin
the waste of 100000 more taken from the people
against their consent
In tearing down Jail that equals the jais OF our
neighbor counties, the downtown area will be made an
eysore parking taken and visitors prevented
from getting to cafes and other places of business Just at
the time when all possible accommodations and courteses
needed The County Board gave thought
that the Bank of Manteo already engaged in building
addition just the street. and to wait until it is
finished
any business down town thought he would be
benefited by this courthouse and Jail waste of in
order perpetuate the courthouse where u.s. he will
have another thought before the job over 1t going to
big loss to the Maneo businessmen well to
the people of the county.
We can have pride in Board of Commissioners
who brazeny disregard the wishes of the voters who out
their greedy desire spend and waste the peoples money
and taxes year after would go ahead and spend
100000 project foolish We believe that future gen.
eaons will look back upon their work with shame and cha

any group of who would shame their county and
their people by doing thing of this kind is hard to under

HIGHWAY SAFETY IMPERATIVE.

We Americans have high regard for speed. The fact
that we make things faster and distribute them faster than
strength In sports like fast moving games For most Of
us life is geared to pretty fast tempo
But there's place for everything including speed
And the staggering toll of traffic deaths plus the fact that
speed involved in majority of them makes it plain that
speed has no place on the highway.
It's rather interesting to note that safety authorities
are concerned with than just exceeding the speed lin

DRAG RACE NUISANCE
News and Observerl

The outcome of the trials of
seven Wilson youths accused of
engaging in or abetting a drag
race" at IS miles an hour amounts
to invitation to race on the high
ways.
One of the two racers in the
only one of number of sched-
uled races that got underway be-
fore the State Highway Patrol in
tervened was let off entirely be-
cause he was scheduled to enter
the Navy. The other racer was
given a 15-day suspended Jail
term on condition that he not drive
an automobile between the hours
of midnight and 6 am. unless
accompanied by one or both par
ents-with nothing said about the
remaining Is hours in each day.
Cases against five passengers in
the two cars were dismissed be-
cause of lack of evidence that
the drivers of the two cars were
planning to race one another"
There was evidence, however, that
all of the accused were among the
large number of youths who as
sembled at a designated spot at
2 am. on Sunday, June 10. It
would be absurd to contend that
they gathered at that hour by CO.
incidence or for any purpose ex-
cept to engage in organized de-
fiance of the law.
The most logical reason for the
lenience, although it was not
stated, would be a belief that
those arrested were no more guilty
than the others present and, there
fore, should not be punished unless
all present received the. same
punishment. Such theory is not
tenable.
If the State Highway Patrol
had stood idly by until all present
had engaged in a race, the almost
inevitable consequence would have
been one or more serious accidents
for which the patrolmen on hand
would have borne a moral, if not
a legal, responsibility.
There is no theory under which
such light punishment for SO seri-
GUS an offense can be justified.
The only way to stamp out unlaw-
full driving Of automobiles is by
adequate punishment whether or
not the driving results in tragic
accidents.

REUNIONS BEING GOLDEN
MOMENTS IN OUR SUMMER
(Hertford County Herald),


With the coming Of summer,
thoughts turn inevitably to family
and class reunions. Every man
worth his salt, values old friends
best of all and seeks to 'recapture
early family life and school days
by brief fleeing moments Of the
reunion.
Not all of us are able to strike
out into the world and do great
exciting things. Very often we are
tied down to hum-drum existence
and very often we learn Of excit-
ing adventures and great deeds
done by our families and class
mates which tends to make US un-
happy and unsatisfied with our lot
in life. Thus we get together with
old friends and relive for a mo-
ment, the happy carefree days Of
youth.
To some of US it is given to do
great things while to others there
is only the ordinary way Of life.
Lucky is the man who manages
to live out his span of years, serv-
ing in whatever capacity that may
be his lot. Lucky is the man who
has his own family with him as
the years roll by, for there is no
greater reward on earth than to
live among those we love best.
Far places may beckon and ambi-
ton may drive US, but when all is
said and done, family and friends
are the greatest reward of all.
Family and class reunions are
the high spots in our existence.
Often life seems drab and some
thing that must be endured. Often
we may stop and wonder where it
all will end. But to the discouraged
and to the i'll and afflicted, life will
take on new meaning after a few
golden moments at class or fam
lily reunion.
Life is made up of long stretches
of drab, ordinary run of the mill
days, interspersed with happy mo-
ments to be remembered and
cherished forever. Reunions in the
summer time are the golden mo-
ments that tie together the long
days in between.
