Continued from p. 168 long hours. According to Mr. DiBello, After finishing my work at school, l'd sometimes run the tractor under a full moon. The family purchased its equipment finoluding two tractorsl at auctions in the area and from used equipment dealers. Now the DiBel1os are considering expansion. Mr. DiBello wants to use some of their marginal land fthat which is not fit for cultivationj to start a Hamburger patch. In other words, he might begin raising beef for the table.

Perhaps the motivation behind this venture was best expressed when Mr. DiBello said, I'd like to be indepen- dent las self-sufficientj as possible. fBelowj The senior counsellor assists students in the choice of colleges and careers.

He said that while in the West, HI saw' a lot of things I wanted to go back to. Every summer through 1972, he returned to the West to spend five to seven weeks of his vacation. I-Ie enjoyed seeing the reservations of the Navajo and Pueblo Indians in New Mexico the most. Mr. Romme talked of the Indian personality. Indians are fascinating people. Very friendly. You must un- derstand when some tourists say they are unfriendly, it is their land would you like a tourist aiming a cam- era at your house?
