THE HERALD, Provo, Utah-Page 35 Week's News in Sunday, Jtfy 9. 1972 Review Manpower Administration's Plan Proves Help to Alaskan Natives Continues to Plague the United States Peanuts Are Pure Gold To Portales PORT ALES, N.M. (LTD -College students in Portales call the town "Goober City," but to the residents it is pure gold. Portales is the center for an agricultural area that produces most of the Valencia peanuts the kind sold in the hull in bags at baseball games -distributed in the United States. 1 i i.

Like the Ambroses, many of the natives have annual incomes of less than $2,000, a figure that understates their poverty because basic commodities in Alaska cost about 25 per cent more than in the "lower 48." In many areas more people are unemployed or have seasonal jobs than have permanent employment, and more than half of the potential work force is jobless most of the year. As for the future, if and when the pipeline is started or any other big industrial ex-pans ion takes place in Alaska, there should be no delay in the matter of job training referral. But right now, "sitting on top of the world" isn't all it's cracked up to be.

JOB TRAINING BEGINS natives with school. It would be difficult to exaggerate the need for job opportunities and manpower services among Alaska's natives. Not only are they under-educated for competition in the modern world, they often live in isolated, inaccessible areas where training is at best limited and economic growth nonexistent. Their villages differ in many ways size, climate, landscape and cultural heritages and patterns of life. But most of them are alike in that the inhabitants must rely upon nature and not upon income from jobs as a basis for their existence.

No longer content with their subsistence existence, native families like the Ambroses find life becoming in-creasingly complex and frustrating. Ambrose says all the talk about oil in Alaska has even gotten Linda thinking about It is this distinction that has earned Portales its nickname among students at Eastern New Mexico University. But it also earns the residents of Portales Valley moi than fl million a year. Most of the peanuts sold ii the hull in the United States are of the Valencia variety, according to Floyd McAlister, president of the Portales Valley Peanut Growers Associaion. Some otlier varieties such as the Virginia peanuts are sold in the hull, "but they don't have the taste that our peanuts do.

There's just no peanut that matches the taste of Valencia peanuts," McAlister says. Between 90 and 95 per cent of the total Valencia peanut crop is grown in New Mexico and about 95 per cent of that is grown in Roosevelt County, of which Portales is the county seat, he says. McAlister is not sure how Valencia peanuts with a cream-colored hull and red skin got started in the Portales Valley, but he says "they produce very well here in this particular type of soil." Oddly, most of the Valencia peanuts grown near Portales go back to the big peanut-growing areas of the Southeast and command a good price. "This is something that a lot of people are not aware of," McAlister says, "but the biggest percentage of our peanuts are actually sold in the Southeast. Save on Sears Air Piracy Airlines in By H.

J. HELLER United Press International When the shooting started "I instinctively hit the floor," iid Maurice Embly. "It's not like it is on not enough time to be scared." Embley was describing his reactions to the shootout which a jetliner on in ban rrancisco and killed two hijackers who had commandeered the plane while it was enroute from Sacramento. The hijackers were identified by the FBI as Dmitrov Alexiev and Michael D. Azmanoff, both 28, who came to the United States from Bulgaria in 1968.

Demanding 5800,000, parachutes and flight plans for Siberia, the hijackers held 79 passengers and five crew members hostage in a remote runway of. San Francisco International Airport. An FBI agent posing as a pilot was allowed on board. Three other agents also managed to get on the plane and after a burst of gunfire the two hijackers were dead. Embley was not hurt in the melee.

Some others were not so lucky. E.H. Stanley Carter, 66, a retired railwayman from Canada was killed, apparently hit by a hijacker's bullet. Also injured were two other passengers, including Victor Yung, 56, who plays the cook in the television "Bonanza" series. The action by the FBI provoked criticism by some of the passengers aboard the Pacific Southwest Airlines jetliner.

Yung said he was surprised at the shooting, and "it's very difficult to say if the FBI did the right thing." Asked about the advisability of the FBI's opening fire in SrarInlttlicl 2M)lh.

III I If By ERNIE HOOD JUNEAU NEA Tom Ambrose is an Athapascan Indian. He lives with his wife, Linda, and their two children in a one-room wood house in the wilderness of west-central Alaska, 200 miles east of Nome. His neighbors are few and far apart. Besides his family there are only about 200 people in his little village of Kaltag and the nearest othei" village is 50 miles away. Linda and the children go to bed early, but Tom often sits alone at the table and cleans and oils his 30-30 rifle by lamplight for want of anything else to do.

The stillness of the Arctic night often is broken by the howls of nearby wolves, and the sled dogs of Tom's neighbors howl iheir answer. During the day, Tom hunts, fishes and checks his trapline. He stalks caribou, moose and bear with varying success, and probes for whitefish through holes in the ice of the Yukon River. By modern standards, Tom Ambrose leads an isolated, almost primitive life. Despite this isolation, however, his is one of about 8,500 names in the new, computerized Applicant Characteristic Bank in the Alaska State Department of Labor's Employment Security Division at Juneau.

The applicant bank may help Ambrose and thousands like him achieve a better way of life. All of the 8,500 people listed in the bank are Eskimos, Aleuts and Indians who make their homes in some 175 tiny villages scattered across the nation's largest state. Many more names will be added as members of a division mobile survey team extend their efforts to additional villages. Work on the a 1 i a bank began in the summer of 1969. The project is being funded by the Manpower Administration through its Smaller Communities Program, designed to improve employment opportunities in rural areas and small towns.

Each of the natives already in the Alaska bank has been interviewed personally. The information gathered in the interviews in the remote villages is stored on computerized cards. Ambrose's card, for example, shows that he aspires to be a government construction worker, but has had little experience. It also shows that he has only a sixth-grade education, but possesses considerable potential in the type of work he seeks. It indicates his willingness to move else where for either training or employment.

Most of the other cards in the bank reflect characteristics and existence much like Ambrose's. Alaska's native population constitutes a potential work force of considerable size and diversity. The natives can be trained individually for jobs developed through the state employment service with vari- big classes for mass placement in major industrial en- projects like the proposed Alaska oil pipeline, which should provide at least 7,000 jobs. layaway J07 Put cnei mm 000 IX i life hl i0ro if 9 riv V.

The Ambrose home is heated by a wood stove and water for cooking and bathing is melted from ice and brought to a boil in pans and kettles. Tom, who doesn't even have a dog team, would like a snowmobile and his wife talks longingly of a washing machine like those she has heard peo-plave have in Nome. So it is with most of the others now listed in the Applicant Characteristic Bank, as well as with the estimated 54,000 Alaska natives still to be reached by interviewers. Communication with most villages is limited to letter or radio; only 23 native settlements have telephone service linking them to other places. Fewer than a dozen of the villages are on Alaska's limited road network.

Access to others is only by air or, depending on the season, by The system was developed by Dr. Stanley J. Dea, director of environmental engineering for Levitt, in cooperation with AWT Systems, a company formed by Hercules Inc. of Wilmington, and Proce-dyne Corp. of New Brunswick, N.J.

It combines chemical and physical treatment of waste water sewage to produce an effluent said tc be of near drinking water quality which can be returned to the water table or emptied into streams without causing pollution. The almost totally automated plant it will require only 12 manhours of work per week is located on a quarter-acre plot surrounded by a picnic and recreation area for the residents of Levitt's Contempra at Monmouth Heights community a population of some 500. Dea said the plant is expected to show the way for communities to overcome the major stumbling blocks inherent in construction of regional plants: the high costs involved in acquiring large land areas and laying extensive trunk lines, environmental deficiencies meet stricter federal and state criteria, long delays and lack of cooperation among local governmental bodies. even Christmas 17-Jewel Now Only Now Only Now Only 1 itftn Ml itvm- -uhtvl prior 24" 54" 19" OJld) Add home with our 0 shingles. qD Offer sm Aluminum Siding AS NEW YORK (UPI) -Gar-bage more than a ton a year of solid waste for each of us.

Not very pleasant topics, but ones that should concern every American who cares at all for ecology or just for the well being of his own community, his own family. They are topics that are receiving increasing attention. Municipalities with overburdened sewage treatment plants from the Washington, D.C. suburbs to California have ordered a halt to new home construction to avoid new sewer hookups.

Builders in many areas have been forced to curtail building plans, have curbed land acquisitions. Some are building their own sewage treatment facilities. One such company, Levitt and Sens, Lake Success, N.Y., will put into operation this summer at a 125-home development in Freehold, N.J., a system it feels could be the forerunner of development-by-development treatment of sewage. for upcoming gift occasions protertion to your wind, water, and highest fire ratine availahh th protection ajiains st ing flames. 1 1 -k 1 11 It!
