"But even though we re in transition, we have a winning tradition. Our record speaks for itself." Though the local schools are integrated as are Some local communities, Howard says it is important for youngsters to be involved in organizations that are directed at and run exclusively by blacks. "This is one of few programs which offer youngsters positive role models," he says. "There Aren't many organizations where kids can see black people working together for a common cause. In the Tiny Indians, kids can get a true positive black? experience. We pffer them discipline, goals to reach and personal counseling." . since tne uny Indians became an independent organization (they were formerly sponsored by the Salvation Army Boys Club), they have had to deal with .several problems, most* ootahjy. th?4imitedv^ funds the organization has had to operate on. ^ & 'wm Yet, Howard says blacks should be proud to take on the responsibility of running the organization. "When the Boys Club decided they would no longer fund the program, they gave us a real Challenge,'* Howard says. "We took on the commitment because, as black parents, we should control programs which affect our kids. Blacks needed to take on the responsibility."

"We're trying to get all the parents that have kids in the program to help us one way or the other," says Howard. "There's a lot of work that goes into putting a program such as this together and we need the total community behind us. Linda Samuels, who serves as the concession manager for the Tiny Iiftfians, agrees. "We're like a babysitter during the week," says Ms. Samuels. "They'll (the parents) come out and^ watch their kids play on Saturday, but when it's { time to do some work, nobody shows up." Ms. Samuels, who became involved in the pro-, gram when her son was playing for one of its five i teams, decided to stay on even after her son finished his years with the Tiny Indians. If more parents don't become concerned with helping out, she says, the Tiny Indians could become a relic of the past due to apathy, just as so ?

"We don't get very many donations and it takes money to run the program," Ms. Samuels continues. "We're struggling to make ends meet financially and we need more people to help us out. For us to make it, we're going to have to have people willing to come in to help us." earns From Page B1 ut of their way While the team has yet to post its first win, Grady said morale ion that Grady among the players and fans is still ard is the fact high because Jeffries, the Bison's i located in the first-year coach, is a strong motivator. >f cultural and "You can see leadership in take advantage him," Grady said of Jeffries. du can visit the "Although we're losing, he still , Frederick lets us have pride in ourselves." :he Smithsonian ^ ?t a lot of landlad time to take NAVY. all those thines. r?*.
