Hav- ing visited a reservation school, Mr. Romme says, Facilities compare well to what we've got here at Valley Cen- tralf' Since the recent trend toward edu- cation, the Indians have difficulty keeping the young people on the res- ervation. The majority of young people who go to college do not re- turn. The Indians that .do return after college, return as dedicated teachers or doctors. Contrary to what most believe, Mr. Romme claims that Indians are not discriminated against. Many Indians have gone into politics and are leading citizens in the community. Mr. Romme said that Indians are not de- nied opportunities, if they have the ambition to get their education. There is very little stigma attached to being an Indian. I Besides being influenced by their culture, Mr. Romme enjoys the In- dian's company. Indians are fascinat- ing people. I really like hob-nobbing with them. 176 FACULTY

Ads Mone cements oney is the cement of the mod- ern world, but it is a cement that flows freely. It forever changes hands - from nations to communities to common man. This was true in the 50's, and it's true today. Business -- oligopolies and local businesses - help money change from hand to hand. Mr. john Spano of Iohn's Ltd. in Walden, said, The taste of the people changes, but the busi- ness is the same. You have to pay for what you get. However, people are paying to get different things than they did twenty years ago. Today jeans are a standard, necessary part of any clothing store's inventory. john Spano said, Twenty modern world years ago there were no jeans to be sold, except to farmers and to other workers. jeans were just work pants in those days. But jeans have come to be accepted as a common dress item. Twenty years ago it wasn't profitable to stock jeans, but today it is profitable. And today john's Ltd. sells jeans. Mr. Spano said, 't'We had to change with the time. The styles changed, and we had to change to give the people what they wanted. Today we sell more sports clothes, as opposed to dress-clothes. The people are more sports minded. The facts of buying and selling have not changed, but what is being bought and sold has . . . fl-Xbovej Walden's Interstate Bag supplies the world with handled shopping bags. fRightj Brescia Lumber's building supplies are used for construction throughout the area. 178 ADVERTISEMENTS f, .
