Wotk, BIF Seeks ^25 £ew Trainees
The Bureau of Indian Af
fairs plans to place 125 addi
tional Alaska natives in elec
tronics training in the near fu
ture, Martin P. Mangan of the
Interior Department stated
this week in the hearings on the
Barrow gas bill.
The Assistant Commissioner
stated that the 22 Eskimos now

cians in the RCA Institutes in
New York and Los Angeles
have higher average grades
than the average for the entire
class.
“RCA wants the Eskimos to
work on White Alice,” he said:

employs them eagerly in posi
tions for which they can qual
ify on DEW Line and BMEWS.
The reason is simple. Employ
ees recruited from the ‘smaller
states’ leave the projects at a
rate of 48 percent per year; the
Eskimo turnover rate is 3 per
cent a year. The Eskimos are
a valuable natural economic
and defense asset where they
are.”
Mr. Mangan stated the pro
gram for training 125 addition
al Alaskans will cost $600,000
“but we know a good invest
ment in people when we see it.”
Roadhouse Leased
Mr. and Mrs. William Elkins
last week leased the Wasilla
RoadVuse. The Elkins have
homeAeaded out Knik Road
since 1959. but they and their
four children moved last week
to the living quarters at the
roadhouse. The Elkins are
keeping the roadhouse open
from 6 a m. to 10 p.m. seven

near future.

Four studies of possible pro
cessing and marketing indus
tries for Alaska are reported
this week by Alaska’s senators
E. L. “Bob” Bartlett and Er
nest Gruening.
The National Academy of
Sciences plans to establish a
committee to conduct a study
relating to fish protein concen
trate, it was announced last
week by the Department of the
Interior, which had requested
the study.
The project will aim to de
termine whether a wholesome,
safe and nutritious fish protein
concentrate can be made from
whole fish and whether there
is a demonstrable need, nu
tritionally or economically, for
an inexpensive protein food
supplement such as this pro
duct, for economically depress
ed peoples.
While Bureau of Commer
cial Fisheries’ scientists have
approved the product as whole
some and suitable for human
consumption the Food and
Drug Administration has not
done so. Sen. Gruening is push
ing for Food and Drug Admin,
approval.

has approved a $63,000 contract

Which shade shelter would prove the coolest?
No fancy instruments were needed. All they had to do was wait
for a hot day — something one doesn t wait for very long in Ari
zona. The cows decided for themselves — seven out of ten cows
took cover under the Kaiser aluminum-roofed shelters —the coolest
place they could find.

Dr. Mick Discovers
New M. Falcata Field
Allan H Mick, director nf
the Agricultural Experiment
station at Palmer, has at last
found the alfalfa plant the agri
cultural research scientists
have been looking for—a truly
hardy strain that will with
stand the rigorous growing
conditions of this area. Near
the intersection of Valley street
and Wasilla road. Palmer’s
busiest corner, Mick noticed a
familiar blossoming plant nod
ding in the Matanuska breezes.
On closer examination, sure
enough, there was M. Falcata
(Siberian alfalfa) growing thru
the cracks in the sidewalk.
