i ! friendship centres 3 The new Migrating Native Peoples Program .which began on April 1, 1978, has allocated about 6 million dollars for the first year of operation. Friendship centres have been designated under = this program as the cornerstone of federal policy with respect to migrating Native peoples. This will enable our member centres to help alleviate many of the problems that have plagued them as a reault of under- funding under the previous program. Loss of staif because of low salaries, inadequate facilites and financial in- . Security are just a few of these problems. We are pleased to have Nationa June 11 - June 17, 1978: - Jenine Krause, 1st prize, Kindergarten, grade one $6 million for Friendship recognized in a formal five- year federal government program, yet we find the program to be much too bureaucratic and - unresponsive to our needs. Therefore as the new NAFC executive, we propose during the coming months to enter into negotlations on ‘what Secretary of State considers to be the standard levels of performance for friendship centres - which our member centres find to be too stringent. The new executive is concerned with the ‘type of relationship that we have had with the Secretary of .State officials and the minister, We see it as part of our mandate to improve those relations., One of the biggest concerns has been ssociation of Friendship- Centre's Conference : Two members from Kermode Friendship Centre attended the Conference in Montreal, Quebec. .

By DAVID FARRELL One of the pleasures of being a record reviewer is that some real treasures are tucked in between the mass of material put‘out to feed theinsatiable pop appetite. A number of these nuggets are mentioned herein, ac- companied by a couple of warnings Foremost among the reissues is Atlantic Records’ That’s Jazz series, a 20- volume collection of the best of Allantie’s archive material between 1956 and 1968. Definitive works by Mose Allison, Errol] Garner and Joe Turner are among. the works . released, each complemented by ~~ a full time living.

The Verve catalogue has also been reactivated. Largely responsible -for bringing bossa nova to North America, Verve also offers some breathtaking sides by the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Peterson and Billie Holliday. : Like the Savoy offerings, these records are im ’ from the United States and cost more than newer recordings on general release.

Even so, Andy concedes, . he admires them so much that if they asked him to join them, he probably would give up his personal fame and do it. a it, “A lot of people thought I was going to join them when 1 grew up,” says Andy, 20. “I'm happy to stay as I am. But if they asked me, I would probably jump at it.” Andy was 10 when the Bee Gees began gathering an international following. SCHOOL DIDN'T LAST “I had a terrible time in school after that," Andy says. “I couldn't get on with anyone, the kids more than the teachers, because I was brother to the Bee Gees. I found that at every school I went to, I left school very early.” . When he was growing up and his brothers were away from home and famous, Andy hardly knew them, felt @ generation removed from them, Now, he says, he feels they're alike in several ways.
