TEKAWENNAKE NEW CREDIT SIX NATIONS REPORTER September 3 - 10 Thirty-Sixth Edition Since our last edition, of July 27 - Aug. 21 a great change has taken place in the life of Tekawennake. Our energetic leader, Rev. Stephen Shantz, who started us off with Tekawennake on the right foot, has moved away and now we're on our own hook. That's right, folks, we're our own bosses and we hope for as much success in the future as we've had in the past, and with all our eager supporters we're bound for success. Many thanks to you all, and many thanks to Rev. Shantz for providing inspired leadership. There is the industry on the New Credit Reserve, making car seat accessories, also sparked by Mr. Shantz. Now more space is required to enlarge the industry. They're in business and well on their way to a desirable economy. We believe this is the vigorous leadership needed on all Reserves. One who can get the Indians started in industry and the Indians can continue from there. Tekawennake will not dispense with the religious section. ALL churches will be invited to produce a weekly devotional for the readers and this invitation includes the Longhouse for they possess some very beautiful invocations which have come down from antiquity. Six Nations News You recall the financial statement of the last issue, instead of being down, we were up all of $18.77. Well, August was not a holiday. With the production of the Historical Edition at 50 cents per copy and sales of the same at the Pageant and local stores, we were able to pay 1/3 down on a Gestetner duplicating machine and we've borrowed the other 2/3 from our local Credit Union, which means of course that it must be paid back. It has been found necessary to raise the subscription price to $5.00 annually and $2.50 semi-annually, beginning Sept. 1st. and as the subscriptions fall due. The 10 cent single rate at stores will continue for the present. If any of our supporters would like to donate any extra change to the Gestetner fund we'd be very grateful. It' s a very fine machine and will do a good printing job. We simply could not continue being a borrower and taking advantage of good friends any longer; without a Gestetner we couldn't carry on. The sale of the Historical Numbers was very successful both to Indians and non-­Indians alike. It was amazing the number of non-Indians who are interested in our history. Ed. What a summer!! The first real one we've had in years. Plenty of heat and rain with excitement aplenty - what with Mohawk Girls Ball team both winning and near-winning, then to watch the fabulous success of the Warriors Lacrosse team. The days and evenings begin to cool and we might as well admit that summer is gone. We've had it! The wood-thrushes left for the sunny south in mid-August and the robins followed suit. The saucy Blue Jays will remain until the chill drives them south. The shy brilliant Cardinals stay all winter to decorate and cheer the bleak wintry landscape. It's time to search out the rubbers and galoshes for come Sept. 1st the weather-man never fails to provide rain. One consolation, autumn is one of the most pleasant interludes of the year, and dreamy, hazy Indian Summer we can always rely on for additional warm weather. For today we turn the calendar page to Sept. 2nd. Labour Day and it did rain. Ed.
