This project was approved for funding by the U.S/ Office of Education this year for $101,500 under Title IV money made possible by the Indian Education Act passed by Congress in 1972.

The opportunity for educational development will be called the Round Valley Cultural Project. Recognizing the special needs of Native Americans in education, the project was funded to provide the community an opportunity to revitalize cultural elements of the past and to integrate them with desirable present-day social realities. The community will, be allowed a chance to directly influence the nature of the area's education system. In this sense the effort will provide the Covelo Indian Community a. chance to determine its own future as a tribal community.

As a pilot and demonstration project it will provide other Indian communities an example of tribal community development in the area of education. The R.V.C.P.'is designed to accomplish two things: To train local community members in culture and, To develop curricula in Round Valley's Native American cultures to use in teaching. I This will be done by using the technical expertise of specialists in education, linguistics, and Native American cultures. Curriculum will be developed in material and social culture, past and contemporary. Included in this, effort will be a teaching unit in a local native language as well as training units in the develop-' ment, itself, of curriculum and hi education of the culturally different.

The project will have a "Cultural Development Committee," presently made up of five community members interested in education, that will guide and supervise the direction things go by offering advice, ideas, and Further community involvement is desired and will be facilitated by by the development of sub-committees, one in the materialculture component and one in the Indian language component; and requests for information about the Indian realm of Round Valley history, its special parts that had meaning to its original inhabitants. While the language component initially will focus on one native people, or "Tribe" of the Round Valley Indian Reservation, the other cultural components will attempt to accommodate and relate to all native peoples brought to Round Valley in the late 1800's primarily because of the rapid influx of non-Indians into geographical areas adjacent to the Coast range mountains surrounding. Round Valley during the Gold Rush period: Some groups of the Achomawi People, or "Pit River Indians," were brought in from Pit River Country. From the Sacramento side of the mountains also were brought the Concow sub-group of the Maidu and the Nomlackie Wintun people. From the south- Little Lake Porno People.

From the north and northwest were driven by force the Athabaakan Wylackie and Wylackie related groups the. Lassik, Sinkyone, Kato, and the Nongatl. Round Vaney, the original home of the Yuki the Huchnom Yuki to the immediate south became a forced sanction for the surviving populations of these and other Native American peoples. And it is their progeny that the R.V.C.P. will concern itself with.

Presently the project is. staffed by James Whipple, co- director; Skip Willits, Native American college student intern in language; Vivian Pina, Native American college student intern in cultural education. Three other persons have been hired temporarily to get the project started: Allen Frazier, Marie Tuttle and Mildred currently working for a Masters in Education). In the near future the project plans to hire technical specialists and local interns arid resource persons from the Covelo' Indian community. For.

Firefighters near control of 4,000 acre blaze WASHINGTON (UPI) If Richard M. Nixon is impeached and removed from office he will be destroyed politically, humiliated before his countrymen and worse yet could even end up broke. If the House in all likelihood goes ahead and votes to impeach him, the'Congress might require him to. assume personally the legal expenses of a Senate trial.

Attorney General William B. Saxbe has ruled that Nixon personally would have to bear the cost of his defense in the Senate trial. Until now, Nixon's defense has-been paid for with federal funds. Special counsel James D. St.

Clair is on the White House payroll for $42,500 a year, and he is assisted by lawyers from the White House legal staff, the Justice Department and other departments of the bureaucracy. The costs are 'impossible to tabulate at present because some of the lawyers are doing other work in their own departments at the same time, but estimates range all the way from $200,000 to $350,000. Nixon stands to lose prestige, status, pqwer and his "place in history" if the Senate votes to convict. But removed from office, he also would lose a $200,000. annual salary, $50,000 allowance, lifetime pension of $60,000 a year or more, his lifetime right to office' space plus a total of $96,000 appropriated annually for his retirement staff and office expenses.

In addition, Nixon still would have to pay back taxes and probably more lawyer's fees for Watergate-related court proceedings. Pat Nixon would forfeit her right to a $20,000 a year widow's pension if she. him. A sure way for Nixon to avoid many of these problems would be to resign option which the White House says has rejected. Resignation would be similar to the experience of other former presidents who suddenly lose the lavish trappings of the nation's highest office huge personal staff, limousines, jet planes, helicopters, a yacht and a wooded retreat in Camp David, Md.

But if convicted, Nixon also would have an additional burden others have not borne possible legal and criminal liabilities. He would almost surely be involved as a witness, if not as defendant, in Watergate-related cases which most legal sources believe will be in the courts months or even years to come. tMMk -VM -ikhrii TUESDAY SPECIAL Baked Beef Pot Pie 5 5 Dear Ann Landers: Two months ago I went to a chiropractor with a very painful neck problem. The treatments were pretty rough, but I kept going back because he assured me I'd be cured if I kept coming twice a week for three or four more months. He sent an enormous bill for X-rays which.

I haven't paid yet. During my last treatment I heard a dog barking in the adjoining examination room. When I asked about it, the chiropractor told me the dog was being given a "spinal adjustment" by his assistant. After that dog incident I was so shaken I went to see an orthopedic surgeon. He took more X-rays and told me I had definite deterioration of three discs and two spur formations on my neck vertebrae.

He also said the chiropractic adjustments could have caused permanent damage had I continued them. I'm mad at myself for being such a fool, but I was influenced by a cousin who went to a chiropractor and got rid of a backache she had suffered with for several months. I'm writing mainly to ask what you think about chiropractors and I need to. know what to do about that bill for X-rays. The Better Business Bureau says it's out of their jurisdiction.

Should I pay it? Dimwitted Annette Dear Annette: Aches and pains sometimes respond to the. chiropractor's heat lamp or manual massages but I do NOT recommend chiropractors as diagnosticians because they lack the training, to diagnose properly. Every year millions of dollars are spent on chiropractors before the patient gets smart and switches to a physician or an osteopath. Unfortunately, too many people keep going to chiropractors until their illness becomes so advanced that an M.D. or a D.O.

can't help them. The basic concept of chiropractic is that most illnesses are caused by spinal misalignments (subluxation) and can be cured by spinal adjustments. This theory has been thoroughly discredited, yet millions of people continue to believe in it and they shell out a great deal of money on this poppycock. As for the chiropractor's Xray bill, you agreed to have the X-rays taken and in my opinion, you are obligated to pay for them. Dear Ann Landers: Please don't think I'm foolish, but I need an answer and I'm sure you will give it to me straight.

This man and his wife (I'll call them the A's) and my husband and I were a wonderful foursome. For nearly 25 years we took trips together. We loved to travel arid it was always a pleasure to be with them. Within the last two years, Mr. A and I both lost our mates.

We have been a comfort to each other, but there is no romance between us. We are just good friends. In fact, I've introduced Mr. A to some attractive widows hoping he might remarry. Last week we had supper, together and reminisced about the delightful trips we had enjoyed.

Mr. A. suggested that this, fall the two of us spend ten days motoring up the Coast, stopping wherever we please. Of course, we would have separate accommodations. I'd love to do it, Ann, but would my reputation be tarnished? What do you think? Platonic In Pittsburg Dear When an unmarried couple travels together there's sure to be talk.

If you don't care about the wagging tongues pack your bags and go. But be prepared for some gossip, because there will be plenty. LISBON (UPI) Portugal is expected to grant independence to Guinea this week more than five centuries after Lisbon's globe-circling mariners first set foot on the Western diplomatic sources said Portugal also would take initial steps to give up Angola and Mozambique two other major African territories a dramatic end to more than a dozen years of guerrilla warfare. U.N. Secretary General Kurt Waldheim, who made an historic, two-day visit to Portugal over the weekend; said the Lisbon government was ready to grant independence to Guinea and let the colony join the world body.

"That's as good as saying Guinea is independent," a reliable Western diplomatic source saidi "Portugal will probably make the announcement this week." Waldheim, in comments before flying to Vienna, said Sunday Portugal "is ready to recognize" the independence of Guinea and negotiate the Lanning is new building inspector Edwin Lanning Jr. has been appointed to the position of building inspector with the Mendocino Courity Building Inspection Department. Lanning has been self- employed since 1962, working as a general building contractor and operating a building plan -drafting business in the Santa Rosa area. He is married and has five children and presently resides in Sebastopol, but will relocate in the Ukiah area in the near future. Lanning was selected for this position from a group of six individuals who recently successfully passed an examination for this position administered By the county personnel department.

He has been assigned the South Valley inspection area vacated by the resignation of Clark McConnell. "immediate transfer of the administration." He also said Portugal would take "immediate steps" to enter into talks with the Mozambique Liberation Front, and "make early contacts" with the three guerrilla groups fighting for Angola's independence. U.N. sources said Portuguese Guinea, called the Republic of Guinea-Bissau by the guerrillas, has applied for membership in the world body and would be admitted by the end of September. The decision by Portugal, once one of the world's great colonial powers, to give up the three African territories marked a virtual an era of colonization begun by Prince Henry the Navigator in the early 15th Century.

Portuguese mariner Nuno Tristao, a follower of Prince Henry, landed on the west African coast at Guinea in 1446. Portuguese settlers later followed and established trading posts. Waldheim's visit ended Portugal's long estrangement with the United Nations and marked the reversal of the former rightist dictatorship's paternalistic policy toward the African colonies. President Antonio de Spinola, who came to power in last April's coup against rightist Prime Minister Marcello Caetano, tried at first to' keep the colonies in a "commonwealth," but agreed last week to the inevitability of independence. Portugal spent half its $4 billion annual budget to keep a antiguerrilla force in Africa.

CABAZON, Calif. (UPI) Firefighters, were bringing under control today the first major California forest fire of the season, which flamed through more than 4,000 acres of state and national forest land. The blaze was ignited by lightning Thursday afternoon on the Morongo Indian Reservation. An army of 1,700 firefighters, some from as far, away as Wyoming, battled the blaze in thick brush and on pine- covered mountainsides. It was reported fully contained Sunday afternoon, and was expected to be under control tonight.

Damage was estimated at $192,000 to watershed and lost timber, plus $500,000 in fire fighting expense. The smoke from the fire streaming along Hitching Peak, could be seen in Vital statistics BIRTHS STITH Born to. Mr. and Mrs. Jerry P.O.
