STAFF CONFER
Representatives of the Klamath
Kducation 1'rogram met with
Johns-Manville Corp. officials on
M outlay, October 28, at the J-M
plant now under construction
near Chilocpiin. All parties to the
ensuing discussion had an op
portunity to share ideas, ask
(uestious and generally gather
some concrete information.
Speaking for the Klamath Kd
ueation Program. II. Zakoji. Di
rector, outlined to J-M officials
W. H. Graham and Al McSwain,
plant mgr. and industrial rela
tions mgr. respectively, the pro
gram's background in Public
Law 587 and the story of its op
erations to date. He explained
that the program, as an agency
concerned with the education and
employment of iIiom- Klamath
tribal members taking advantage
of its services, was very inter
ested in determining possible
lines of cooperation with the
Johns-Manville plant in securing
employment for ualificd tribal
members, feeling that the new
plant would eventually provide
me of the largest employment
outlets in the reservation area.
Plant mgr. (irahain stated that
the Jolms-Manville organization
was interested in the Klamath
termination program, both from
an educational and an economic
standpoint. He summarized Un
employment prospects at the
plant, stating that there would be
some openings for qualified elec
tricians, engineers, mechanics,
and clerical personnel, and that
there would aUo be a number of
semi-skilled and unskilled jobs
for thoc who can fill them. He
emphasized that tin plant expects
to fill most of these positions
fiom the Klamath llasin labor
pool and that Indian applicants
would be given as much consider
ation for jobs as ainone else,
the only criterion for hiring an
applicant being his ability and
willingness to meet the require
ments of the job.
A general discussion followed
in which notes were compared on
the extent to which the plant
would be able to use Klamath
Kducation Program trainees.
Ideas were also exchanged on a
number of items of general con
cern, such as local housing prob
lems, growth expectations in the
area, etc.

that most of last year's graduates
got jobs right off the bat. He
acknowledges, however, that it's
a couple of positions. Vincc states
not as easy as it sounds and that
getting good jobs is contingent
upon not monkeying around in
school.
Vincc's grades to date have
been well above-average as he
made the honor roll his first term
at O.T.I. (H-plus grade average
required) and recently joined the
Automotive Honor Society at
O.T.I., which requires a H aver
age in all major elective work
and a C-plus average in all work
done in allied courses.
For recreation last year Vincc
played on the Sprague River
townies basketball team and may
do so again this year. During the
past summer he worked for the
Hureau of Indian Affairs, where
he got a chance to use some of
his training in doing mechanical
and tune-up work on automotive
equipment.
Vincc thinks that the Klamath
Kducation Program is a good
deal, especially for "somebody
that wants to get out and learn
something".
In regard to termination issues,
Vincc says .federal purchase
"sounds like a good deal."
As for the coming election on
remaining in or withdrawing
from the tribe, however, he ad
mits he is stumped.
"I don't know what to do. A
guy doesn't know whether to stay
in or get out or dig a hole ami
burv himself."
