In their neither-saw-not-. heard statement with ‘regardt to racism against. Indians, they are presuming to be experts on lIndi‘an's}feelings_.. Yet every Indialtpiinvolyegcl is objecting strongly “to. \ the script. As“ long: asvatheree are people- in Webster {who have such’ a total void of Know- ledge of the true ,Ameri'can Indian and are so willing to have their voices heard‘ and countedxon Indian issues, this show remains. obscene in its perpetuation of the false‘ image. If the people in Web .s‘t'er,' ‘knew enough about Indians to object «to the content of this script there would notpbe a problem with this;show' here and now. Asit is obvious that they do not, this show cannot be considered as being other than gross in its grossly i-ncorrect portrayal of Indians. ‘ A 3. In their letter, they talkof the blind‘ children being hurt by the zcon I havesent. a check for $7 made out to Camp Smile to the Indianszat the culture center as I know that 100% of it will go toCamp Smile. Thisl did in response to the ad in the Herald on March 2. If the Theatre Guild and Lions had sold all tickets to this show, abouthalf of the ticketmoney would have gone to Camp Smile. As at- tendance the _ weekend was poor, less than half will go. If people are interested in supporting Camp Smile, they should senttheir money to the Indians so that they, who have nothing, can donate 100% to the camp. If your money had been spent on theatre tickets, a much smal- ler portion would have bene- the blind children. In any case how can anyone equate support of this garbage script with helping anyone? 4. In the letter theinotive of those on my side\is ques- tioned. I am writing this letter and wrote the previous letter on this issue to satisfy my‘ conscience, to express my feelings on the issue and to raise the question of the issue to a level where it cannot be ignored or neutralized. This is a here-and-now issue until the people in Webster under- stand why this type of script would not be_ performed. Judging by the response of many people, much more needs to be done before this .issue canrbe considered fairly resolved. First} would like to ‘thank -the Webster Hera,l:dl ~f('>r zpublishihg all letters on the Indian issue. Second‘ I would ‘like to thank all of thosetwho Wdrked with me on the set andglights for Marytsunshine. I feel. that ‘we made at very positive contribution. _to' historians and art in tWebster. , Third I would like to thank Reginald Doeseher for his well written letter which appeared in the Mareh'9:is.sue of the Webster Herald. In his -letter he has raised all of the points iwhich I repeatedly hear onthis issue. I aim «tak- ing thelliberty of referring to the author of this letter in the plural as :I have heard the samecommeijits from several other people. The points raised by this letter are as follows: ' 1. The letter refers to..some of the cast members asgirls. I know every -member of the cast and1I can assure you that there is no one in the cast under the age of 12. Referring to a Woman (a female over 12 years) as me girl when one would not refer to.a man asa boy is sexism. Since with this statement it is apparent they are sexist in their thinking, it is,not,surprising that they did not notice the sexism in this as-< u 1;\: Ix.‘ -1:.‘ '1.\ , .\.: 3..J§+i%.§9n£9¥}!Ana$sav$h9t m- €fq;(Azia;a§11o}1TE w;,a.s,_ Ijegzfxanzed an“ jatmor1;e 'e._Ven. was ,3 vfabfidation. .

Chesbro fails to mention is. that, the away his press release was written, it appearedv that he did read the statement quoted in his release. ‘No- where in the release did he éstateithat he did not read the statement. The article was merely a. re-writing, into pro- per editorial. form, of his press release, which wasquoted al: most in its entirety. We did not cover the protest because wejwere not informed about it beforehand. It was apparent, however, because of the re- peated references toharrest in the press release,‘ that -arrest, with its attendant publicity, was Rev. Chesbro’s goal in the protest.) Againatthat was and is the reality that what we were up against is racism. In thehface of that, and to show that the level of our concern was not shallow or conceived from “arm chair liberal” rhetoric, we challenged those who would have us arrested, We. were greatly relieved not to have been arrested. As my wife said to our bedsheets as she made the bed that morning, “I sure do hope that this is where we’1l be sleeping tonight ...together!” Second only three of the twenty five protestors chose to step off the grass.

If you had been there to cover the event, you would have observed that the state ment was never read. Indeed it was kept in a plastic bag to‘ keep it out of the rain. Nor at any time during the picketing was there even: gathering of the group. The non-violent de- monstrators were divided into two groups which were located at the two entrances of the parking lot.

Bil] Lochner Robert Murphy ~ Hank Kujawa Kathy Chilson V Town Democratic Candidates I have noticed that long after the white markings have disappeared, the yellow line is still visable. I there- fore, suggest that some color which will not be confused with the yellow markings be used in place of the present white. ‘The first to come to mind is international orange, but that may be too similar to the yellow. If that is so, I would suggest perhaps a color similar to the stop lights on Ford cars back in the l930’s, in a kind of violet purple. At any rate, almost any color other than white which will also be visable under other conditions -than snow shouid' be used.
