I DURING THE PAST YEAR, the Good Lord has guided your Tribal Council wise
‘ ly and has made the past twelve months very beneficial for the White Mountain
Apache Tribe.
At the beginning of 1962, the Tribe did not have the funds to construct the
new sawmill; the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company had not determined definitely
to continue its mineral exploration program; the Hawley Lake winter sports
project had not materialized, and the Tribal construction program was just start
ing to become an economically efficient operation.
Now, through the efforts of Secretary Udall, Commissioner Nash and other
leaders who are vitally interested in the White Mountain Apache Tribe, the saw
mill completion scheduled too distant
The mineral exploration program is being intensified with drilling operations
A m ■A A r continuing for another two years. The Hawley Lake winter sports area is in the
B I ■ B J ■ I I I V final stages of planning with work scheduled to start in the coming months. The
1 ribal construction enterprise is firmly established and forging ahead rapidly.
And the first newspaper in the history of the White Mountain Apache Tribe
has brought favorable comment from people all over the nation. In addition, the
new Alchesay Fish Hatchery has been dedicated, a project that has been long
awaited.
None of these things could have developed without the cooperation of the
members of the White Mountain Apaches.
We members of your Tribal Council know that some of our Apache people
do not understand why we are not moving ahead faster and why more Apaches
YOUR TRIBAL COUNCIL are not employed on different jobs.
Your Council is striving continuously to develop programs that will provide
these opportunities. Unless our enterprises are staffed with efficient help, they
will fail and the Tribe will lose money.
Worse, there will be no job opportunities for the Apache people. We do not

Councilman Councilivoman While the benefits that have accrued to the Tribe in the past months have

One of the great losses to the Tribe was the transfer of our beloved A1
HOMER BEATTY MARY G. RILEY Hawley, former Superintendent who was elevated to a new and higher position.
Councilman Councilivoman We wish him well and hope that he will return to visit us at every opportunity.
Cedar Creek Seven Mile But we are pleased with his successor, a man who has done much for the
Apaches in the past few years, Robert E. Robinson, our new Superintendent.
KENNETH CROMWELL ARTHUR GORDON We offer our full cooperation to him and know that he is working for the
Councilman Councilman entire Tribe and that only through team work with the Bureau can the Tribe
Whiteriver Carrizo continue to make progress.
Our prayer for the new year of 1963 is that Almighty God will grant us the
IDA EARLY LYDU HARVEY wisdom and integrity to carry out the duties of our Tribal Council offices; so that
Councilivoman Councilman our people will continue to raise their standard of living, will continue to cooperate
Cibecue North Fork with us in our forward movement and will continue the strengthening of their
moral and spiritual fibre.
LES BAHA MARY ENFIELD To this end, we heartily wish each and every member of the White Mountain
Councilman Tribal Secretary Apache Tribe a very Merry Christmas and a most prosperous New Year.
