Plans to construct a VORTAC
facility, living quarters, gar
age and shop building and re
lated work at F,(g Lake were
announced this week by the
Federal Aviation Agency.
Installation of the VORTAC

tion. Work will include clearing
of nearly 50 acres of land, con
struction of a 36 by 36 foot

prefabricated metal building

underground fuel tanks, and
related work.
The project is expected to get
under way this summer. Bids

YANKEE POPULARIZED
IN YEAR 1700
No one really knows where
the word “Yankee" comes
from, but it was popularized in
the 1700’s by a Massachusetts
farmer named Jonathan Hast
ings, according to World Book
Encyclopedia. Hastings used
the word to express the idea of
excellence, speaking of a “Yan
kee good horse,” or “Yankee ci
der.”

The Rural Electrics came into existence through
cooperation — people joining hands, working to
gether, and sharing obligations with each other,
and their government, to fill an un-met need . . .
electricity for rural areas. The Rural Electrifica
tion program is one of our nation’s best investments
in progress.
The benefits of an ample supply of low-cost elec
tricity in the areas served by Rural Electrics are
readily apparent . . . and for lots of Members, elec
tricity is still relatively new. Many, many new
electric appliances are yet to be sold in the expand
ing market which the Rural Electrification program
created. These purchases benefit directly the peo
ple who live in our cities and towns.
Cooperation is part and parcel of the philosophy
of the Rural Electrics . . . they are vitally interested
in helping to promote the development of rural
areas — to raise the economic level of our com
munities — for the good of the state and the nation!

program of the Youth Conser
vation Camp near Wasilla,

other projects for which there

labor. The cooperative plan was
announced this week by Char
les W. Pfeiffer, director of the
Division of Youth and Adult
Authority, which operates the
youth camp and A. Earl Plour
de, State Forester of the Divi
sion of Lands, Forestry, Parks
and Recreation Branch .
They said the work will he
in the Anchorage and Mat
anuska Valley areas and is
scheduled for the period May
1 to September 30, 1962.
Projects to which the boys
are assigned will include
campground maintenance and
construction and forestry,
park, and recreation field
activities. The Division of
Lands will supply technical
supervision and materials
while the youths remain un

Charles W. Pfieffer, Director

as a member on the profesion
al council of the National
Council on Crime and Delin

and extends service to all
types of agencies, both private
and public, who deal with
crime and delinquency. These
services are in the areas of
studies, surveys, consultation

Selected boys fiom the camp
who demonstrate exceptional
ability and dependability will
later be given the opportunity
to act as field assistants to for
esters. Expanding relationships
and work training opportun
ities will thus be offered the
selected boys, Pfeiffer said.
This unified program assists
in the rehabilitation of way-1
ward youths and gives the tax-|
payer more for his dollar by i
helping the Forestry and Parks;
program. The same amount of |
funds will be spent with pri-!
vate enterprise by the Forestry |
program but these same very [
limited funds can thus be
stretched.
