A few existing dictionaries, the last of which was published in 1975, have fallen short of providing the syntax and historical perspective necessary to give scholars valuable insights into the 85-symbol language and the Cherokee culture in general, said Cook, who has known Bushyhead since 1969 and lived on and off at Cherokee from JOHNSON CITY (AP) A university linguist has teamed with 'an elderly Cherokee preacher to help preserve the cultural and historical nuances of the tribe's written word. William H. Cook of East Tennessee State University is away at development of the first comprehensive Cherokee-En-'-glish language dictionary. I Cook, associate director of the university's Center for Appalachian Studies and Services, has been working on the project for about 10 years with the help of Robert Bu-shyhead, 75, who lives on the federal reservation at Cherokee, N.C. "I'm drawing on Robert's knowledge of the language and the culture," Cook said from his office in the basement of the school's library.

"My contribution is the questions and his contribution is then until 1971. In addition, the dictionaries that do exist focus on the Cherokees' western band, which doesn't taken into account the subtle differences with the eastern band or the tribe's eastern roots, he said.

Mike and Teresa have learned things they can do at home to strengthen her muscles, help her grip a spoon and feed herself, help her crawl across the floor. Her sisters, Melissa, 8, and Sara, 4, also have provided support for their parents. Without being told, they have reached out to Rebecca's special needs lovingly. When Teresa looked in on their play one day recently, she said, the girls had modified a game of tag to a crawling version, so Rebecca could join in! "We definitely can see a difference" since Rebecca started to the center, the mother said. Rebecca crawls after her sisters at a brisk pace, can pull herself to a standing position and can prop up on her knees without tumbling over.

She's a merry, laughing child who's starting to make sentences instead of baby-talk jabber. Their hopes for the future including "main-streaming" Rebecca into public school are bright.

They were filled with fears about her future; they had even more misapprehensions about their ability to deal with the here and now. They found immediate support at the Center for Child Development. The center has helped the Longs to gear their family life around Rebecca's therapy and development. 1 $80 3Lm From Page 1 S3 have nothing. The Red Cross right on top of it.
