Miss Cuonec. I'm been keeping up with that telon thing at the board of education The way CM Wiz sees it. some of them people that's a bollenng about hiring telons ami necessarily telling the truth seems to me that thai Sellers woman s real problem is that she donl like the ?den Mhs i onnee. of Indians being in ctiarge I was real surprised to read tit thai Lumberton paper thai out district attorney. Johnson Britt. was .?>iiiv some things about felons I hope thai Mr Britain's one of them whites thai 'hinks Indians should stay in ttietr place Now. Miss Connee I'm been readme behind that policy change once the board of education said the\ SSU SSJSSjSiS-J* mat an mat turn them folks * making i* surt of like a smoke screen, it's a hiding the real thing I would be mights disappointed Mm* t ownee to find our thai the upcoming District Mtornev don't care nothing for Indians. When I look* at all the hist and rend that Lumbenon paper . Mis Coueee. I sped the real trouble i * Mr Purnell Swett is a Indian and u being paid a good salary in his job as head of the schools Funny dung. Miss C ounee. I (bdnt see not one Black nor one Indian at that board meeting with that Sellers woman I wish. Miss Cuonee. people would just come honest If they don't want Indians in charge, they ought to say 4 so in plain even day language instead it r\ring 10 liide it behind policy changes I expect. Miss Connee. if we knowed the truth behind these actions, we d find out that some of these while folks is inad cause they think Glenn Mavnor's gonna be the sheriff Some how things bothers some of these white folks more if Indians is in good paying jobs. I don't remember all this fuss about oi Young Allen when be was in charge of our schools In them tunes, we Indians had to raise a fuss, get us lawyers and pray a lot to git where we are now. And thev ain't no way . Miss Coonee. that we're gonna be going backwards I just nope. Miss Connee. that our new district attorney don't feel the way some of these other white folks do. If he does, we're gonna be in one mess when he takes over that district attorney's office > I really want to know. Mis Conner, if he aad other people the* - was elected in May ie gonna be good Democrats I want to know. Mies Coonee. if he's gonna vote for Glenn Maynor. Course, yon know. Miss Coanee. the way it is. the way folks vole isthev own bnsinaas. But ha got a feeing deep as niy bones that sonse ofthear white people in Lumbattan is a wanting to tile up the while folks about us Indians having everthing You see. Miss Connoee. if they can do that, they can irate sure that as whiles don't be s voting for Glenn Maynor Us Indians is got to keep us a eye open lor them folks that a racial ami don't want to come out and say it. I'm mighty glad. Miss Conner, that I'm learned to read the pages and that stuff that ain't wrote down ?
