The debate between two
HOMINY (AP) n- Life
can hold some odd but
beautiful twists. Take the
story of Joel Maker.
Joel was drinking
straight whisky, smoking
cigars by the box and roll-
ing his own cigarettes.
He quit all that after en-
tering kindergarten.
Joel is 12 now. Not much
of a talker, he recently
wrote a letter to his father,
persuading him to go on
the wagon too.
"I never knew my drink-
ing was hurting anyone un-
til I read that letter," said
Tony Maker.
"I cried. For the first
time since my grandmoth-
er died years ago, I
cried."
The letter's message
was simple: the bottle was
tearing away at the closely
knit ranch family, but Dad
mattered more than any-
thing else in the world.
The dark-haired, brown-
' eyed lad closed with, "I
love you."
An out-going, bear-sized
man known for his gener-
ous ways, Maker has since
"graduated" from the Val-
ley Hope Alcoholism
Treatment Center at Cush-
ing. He's taking his new
life a day at a time as all
admitted alcoholics must.
The family lives 25 miles
northwest of Tulsa.
Tonv*sxson's/ttFush with
good bourbon; 10-cent ci-
~gar« and hand-rolled ciga-
rettes came quite natural-
ly. His folks believed that
he, like most youngsters,
would experience it all
sooner or later.
’-For Jtoel it came sooner.
Chief, first Indian on the
Osage tribal rolls, Joel
grew up in a hurry. By his
own choosing, he associat-
ed more with the plain-
spoken cattlemen than
with boys his own age and
often skipped kindergarten
classes to watch them at
work.
"It got so bad that we fi-
nally Had him switched to
the afternoon classes so he
could go out with the men
in the mornings," said his
mother, Kathleen. "For a
while, it looked like he was
going to be the first drop-
out at Hominy kindergar-
ten."
By a sober age of 6, he
was team-roping for mon-
ey among adults—and win-
ning. Even now, six years
later, his 4-foot-ll frame,
tipping the scales at 99
pounds, still draws stares
inside the rodeo arenas.
Because he was treated
like a man, he also spoke
like one. Still does.
"I thought I'd never hear
the last of it when I missed
a steefat Wynona," Mak-
er said.
The censored version of
what Joel said is some-
thing like this:
"I thought you told me
you could rope. You can't
even win any money at
Wynona, Okla., and here
you are planning for us to
go to Clovis, N.M."
When asked what caused
him to end his 2!/j-year
smoking and drinking
stint, Joel blushed,
shrugged and bit on a fin-
gernail.
"I just did," he said, in a
typically abbreviated re-
ply. "I don't know why.
At age 3 he asked Goob
Files, a long-time friend of
the family, for a cigarette.
"If y o u 'r e gonna
s m o k e," said Files,
"you're gonna' learn how
to roll your own."
Before the afternoon was
out, Joel was doing just
that.

LIFT FOR LIFE

RICHARD B. DOUGLASS, PASTOR 1
ARDMORE — The All
Indian Fair scheduled in
Ardmore for June 7 and 8,
is planned to pit talent
against talent of Indians
and Indian descendants
while providing cultural
knowledge to those less en-
dowed, as well as enjoy-
ment and entertainment
for all.
The first of what is ex-
pected to become an an-
nual event, the fair this
year is actually a dress re-
hearsal for a 1976 All-Indi-
an Bicentennial exposition
to depict the Indians' role
in establishing of the na-
tion.
"We have given much as
a people to the nation^ and
want to be a part of her
200th birthday," said Mrs.
Mildred Franks, Indian Bi-
centennial Committee
chairman, the first such
committee formed in the
U.S.
Since the committee was
formed last December,
other Indian groups have
joined in planning Bicen-
tennial projects.
Although originally
planned as a trial run, the
upcoming event is shaping
into one of the larger all-
Indian events in the state.
More than 60 artists and
artisans will exhibit their
work during the two day
event.
The event has not only
drawn nationally known
You can often get an idea about a person** value* by
looking at what is important to him. Priorities tell the truth
about people. A man may claim to love hi* wife and family
and deny it by the use of hi* time and money. A student may
claim to want to make good grades. If he never find* time to
study you will discount what he says.
Many people plan to put God at the center of their live*.
Their intention* are often good. Thing* like personal advance-
ment, recreation, and relaxation interfere and they never get
to this commitment Really our priorities are revealed by what
we do. This is why Jesus taught u* to put God's kingdom first
and then assured >i* that God will help with the other thing*.

exhibitors who will provide
static exhibits of their
work to compete with fel-
low artists, others will per-
form in competition with
fellow singers, dancers
and actors.
To provide the flavor of
the old fashioned "fair
t i m e," housewives will
compete in the culinary
arts of producing the best
Indian fry bread, shuck
bread, bean bread or
cracklin bread, along with
pies, cakes and cobblers.
Others also will compete
In domestic arts involving
intricate weaving, bead-
work, leather and feather
craft, as well as needle-
craft and rock art. Other
divisions of competition in-
clude literary arts, agri-
cultural, talent, costuming
and showmanship.
Money prizes from $100
for first place winners to
$25 for third place winners
are being offered by the
sponsoring Bicentennial
committee, along with rib-
bons for some categories.
The event will be staged
at the Civic Auditorium in
downtown Ardmore and at
the Carter Seminary north
of the city.
All events are free to the
public except the Saturday
night entertainment where
$1 for adults and 50 cents
for children will be
charged.
