Udall Sends Congratulations
To Papago Candy-Stripers

Secretary of the Interior Stew
art L. Udall has sent a letter of
congratulations to the Papago
Candy Stripers, a group of 18
Arizona Indian girls who recently
won first place honors from Par
ents' Magazine for youth group
achievement in teenage public SER
vice.
On November "a, the Indian
Hospital at Sells, Arizona, was the
setting for a ceremony at which
the Papago Candy Stripers were
presented with the first place
plaque and cash prize of $500
for their outstanding volunteer
work in the hospital.
The secretary's S letter, ad-
dressed to Miss Leona Thomas,
President of the youth group at
the time of the award nomination,
read:
Dear Miss Thomas:
AS president OF the Papago
Candy Stripers for the 1861 90
season, please convey to your
fellow members and associates
my warmest congr atulations on
taking the first prize in the
Parents Magazine Youth Group
Achievement Awards for teen
age public service in 1861

This, in itself, is an out
standing achievement we'll de-
serving comm endation. In
addition, as the first teen-agers
to do volunteer work in any
Indi an hospital. you young ladies'
have set an example for other
young Indian girls who may

of Indi an Health is concerned.
The idea for the formation of
Papago Candy Striper group came
from some of the ninth-grade girls
at the Sells Consolidated School
administered jointly by Pima
County and the U. S. Department of
the Interior, Bureau of Indi an Af-
fairs( Because of the interest of
the girls, special permission was
obtained from the Phoenix Area
Office, Division of Indian Health,
which lowered the customary six
teen year old minimum age re-
quirement for visitors or volun-
teers in Indian hospitals. Since
November 1861 the girls have been
working in the Sells Indian Hospital
on weekday afternoons and all day
