Nathaniel "Hunky" Hakcr, of
considerable local repute for his
dance combo, represents theonly
Klamath Education Program
student enrolled in the appliance
Tech. course al O.T.I. The course
is a difficult one hut offers re
ward to the student' making it
through, as "Hunky" is in the
process of doing. Hunky, or
"Nate" as he is also called, says
the shops are "howling" for ap
pliance repair men and figures
that he will have no trouble lo
cating a job. He says the field is
"wide open" and "expanding
every day". As for as what type
of work he'll seek, he imagines
tl'iat he'll try to line up a job in
an appliance shop, which is where
most of the graduates find their
job. A few set up their own
shops, "Hunky" relates, while
others go into the manufacturing
end of the business.
Getting through the course and
into a position to land these jobs
is the problem. "Xate" finds
the allied courses somewhat
hard and particularly physics.
("That's the thing that's really
knocked me down.") He says the
instructor here is plenty tough,
and ii t jut on him but on ihe
whole cla. Other allieds he has
had or will have, include machine
shop, welding, algebra, and sales
manship. .
His evaluation: "I guess
they're a help in some ways. A lot
of them, I don't know were we'll
ever use them it's just general
knowledge I guess."
In the main part of the course
is where "Hunky" finds the value
Here the' students study such
items as direct and alternating
current generation, automatic
appliance circuits, circuit load
calculation, correction of mal
functions in major heating ap
pliances, to name a few. The ap
proach to the subject material is
twofold: theoretical and practical.
The students first get the theory
in class and then apply it on all
kinds of appliances, big and small,
including washers, dryers, ranges,
refrigerators, vacuum cleaners,
power tools, mixers, etc.
He regards the big electric
ranges as about the toughest to
work on. Refrigerators present
problems all their own as an en
tirely different set of laws apply
here--namely gas laws. Right
now the students have pretty
well wound up the theory end of
it and .'ire concentrating on the

Area Director Answers Questions At

Don Foster, Area Director for
the Httreau of Indian Affairs, was
the principal speaker at a with
drawing members' meeting held

cussed with the withdrawees
seven questions concerning term
ination which had been raised by
them, questions which he had in
turn discussed with the Commis
sioner of Indian Affairs on a re
cent trip to Washington, D. C.
These questions and Foster's
comments are given as follows:
1. What action has been taken
on the resolution passed by the
Kxeeutivc Committee requesting
permission for the withdrawees
to secure bank loans up to $10,(XX)
using their pro rata shares as col
lateral? Foster's Comment: The Com
missioner has approved the prin
ciple of providing funds for the
withdrawees of 11 degree blood
or more from the revolving credit
fund. These funds would be pro
vided interest free. Those with
drawees of less than ll degree
blood would have to seek some
other course of action. The Com
missioner might assist them in
securing bank loans or they
might seek legislation permitting
Mgt. Plan Study

Khiathau Davis and
Cook were named by Joe Hall,
President of the remaining group
of Klamath Tribal Members, to

them to borrow from the revolv
ing credit fund. The Commis
sioner has not approved loaning
the full $1(),(XX) that has been re
quested, and it has not been de
cided how much will be loaned
exactly. One possibility is that
the loans will be made in an
amount up to what the per capita
payments normally would be.
2. When will per capita be
paid ?
Foster's Comment: Per capita
should come during the week of
Dec. 7-13.
X Will the parents be able to
get children's per capitas from
the trustees?
Foster's Comment : That will
have to be worked out with the
trustees.

able to the title companies?
Foster's Comment: This is still
being debated between the solic
itor's office and the Coinmou
weath Title Co.
5. What is, the Secretary going
to do about payment for the
marsh ?
Foster's Comment : I le will
take steps to get the fish and
w ildlife service to agree to pay at
the appraised price.
Will he try to get a price above
the appraised price ?
Poster's Comment : I don't have
the answer to this. The fish and
wildlife service says they will pay
the appraised price but don't haw
authority to pay more.
o. Will the government pay in
terest on the realization value or
the value of growth over t J it
termination period ?
Foster's Comment: I couldn't
get an answer to this question as
the Secretary was unavailable,
being' in Alaska.
7. Can withdrawing members
reserve hunting and fishing rights
on tin marsh ?
Foster's Comment: The Sec
retary will have to answer this.
The fish and wildlife service takes
the position that there will be no
reservation of special hunting and
fishing rights.
