Living and working in the easternmost of
the Caribbean Islands and some 13 degrees
north of the equator seems to be a sufficient
change for us to warrant a letter We arrived
in Barbados in April as Peace Corp Volun-
teers both working with 4H Clubs in the Ex-
tension Division of the Ministry of
Agriculture
Ly ing well out in the Atlantic, Barbados
enjoys one of the healthiest climates in the
West Indies with tropical temperatures
tempered by the northeast tradewinds
varying little throughout the year and
averaging between a daily low of 72 to a
maximum of 86 F.
We have a three bedroom second floor flat

ay have seen the show, “The Tamarind
Seed was filmed at least in part a mile or so
rth of where we live This should give an
idea of the Island.
Uncle furnishes us with transportation for
official travel. The highways are paved and
like those in many older areas follow the
winding and narrow cart and buggy trails of
yesteryear If we master driving on the left
side, dodging pedestrians, donkey carts,
cycles, dogs, trucks, buses and other autos,
we may have difficulty switching to freeway
driving stateside.
We spent an enjoyable long weekend in
Martinique The French atmosphere is quite
a contrast to the British influence in Bar-
bados. We expect to do more island hop-
ping” , maybe next time to one where Dutch
influence can be observed
Maxine and Stan find their family in that
interesting age with both girls engaged in the
sort of things that keep teenagers busy Kun

Pawhuska woman proposes idea
to help but needs cooperation
By M Roberson
The beginning of a new year might be a
good time to focus on a very unportant part of
the community, its human resources.
Every human being has hands with which
to work, a mind to think, learn and perceive
and a heart for guidance Every individual
has the potential for being an effective
resource to others.
Medical and spiritual leaders will confirm
that every person has a choice each day
whether or not they will be a productive in-
dividual or whether their talent, skill or
energy will lie dormant
Ruby Downing is one woman here who
believes this is so. With the new year facing
her, Mrs Downing has decided to apply
Every person is

around for some time
She wants to put her spare time towards Whether they are
something productive. , ,

The proposal 1
Mrs Downing says she can work with her dormant IS

hands Her idea is to work at mending and ; j 1 U •
sewing for persons who are confronted with individual choice,
adversities such as fire, illness, accidents,
financial hardships, etc. She proposes that if
residents of the city will bring her any
discarded or used items they no longer need,
such as torn sheets, towels, pillow cases, or
other linens, she can mend them in her spare
time She proposes to accumulate the items,
keeping them ready for immediate use until
an emergency arises
Repair of clothing would be another
possibility.
Mrs. Downing said she had seen in the past,
when families were burned out, that any
ready cash, usually needed elsewhere, had to

The contract also stipulates that the leasee will lease the race
track and barns with the exception of the south barns from June
1 through September 15 of each year and he must yield all for the
Ben Johnson Roping each year in June and the Cavalcade each

he was named successful bidder, to cooperate with the Roundup
Clubs when the facilities are needed for the club's activities.
A performance bond of $5,000 and a liability insurance policy
covering all the premises and its operation is required by the
leasee according to the contract The contract sets a limit of the
policy at $100,000 for injury to an individual, $300,000 for
maxium payment under the policy and $50,000 for dan age to

be spent on necessity such as pillows, bed-
spreads. clothing and etc. And little ones

children are really faced with a problem, she
says
“If people who have repairable items and
perhaps were thinking of donating them to
Goodwill Industries could bring them to me
instead. I could repair them and build up a
good supply ready for anyone in Pawhuska
who needs them
“It wouldn’t cost me much (a little for
needle and thread, snaps, etc.) just to use my
sewing machine and patch.”
“I want nothing for it. 1 just want to know
that I’m doing something useful with my
time," she said. “I’ll do the work if someone
can provide me something to work with”, she
said
Mrs. Downing says she will work through
any church to keep inventory and provide
distribution of the items
She also suggested that if any senior citizen
who perhaps had failing eyesight and could
not mend their own items, she could do it for
them if the items could be brought to her
Mrs Downing does not have transportation
and does not drive This, she explained, is one
reason she has so much time on her hands
She said that except for caring for one roomer
at her home and a grandchild, she has no
other family who needs her help now
Anyone who would like to talk to Mrs
Downing about the proposal or knows of
anyone who needs her to do some mending
can visit her at her home at 923 East Twelfth
Street or call 287-4401.
She says some might find it hard to believe
but she simply wants to do something for
nothing.”
