champion. A fter passing his third figure
test, he went to Cathy Caaaey for lessons.
To become a senior figure skater, a
young person must go through eight
figure tests. Passing the tests places him
in the next higher division: sub-juvenile,
juvenile, intermediate.novice, junior and
senior. Rail >rd passed his seventh figure
in Sun Valley last summer to become a
Junior and hopes to pass the eighth and
most difficult figure this summer, which
will put him in the senior division.
Reggie has earned many trophies. This
year he took second place in the North
west competition, enabling him to com
pete for the eoast championship where he
again placed second.
He hopoe to compete n the nation els
next year which will be held in Portland.
If he passes his eighth figure and gets
into the Senior Divison, he will be on his
way toward his goal of the 1980 Olympics.
Reggie has little time for other activi
ties, since he practices about four hours a
day. Math is his favorite subject and he is
interested in accounting. A fter gradua
tion from Madison he will enroll in
Tacoma Community College in business.
Most of Reggie's plans center around
skating. When he finishes his amatuer
career, he wants to join an ice show and
eventually to teach skating.

Reggie is fortunate that he has par
ents, Jeannette and Oliver Raiford, who
are willing to sacrifice to see that his
talents are developed. They must pay for
his lessons and practice time as well as
pay for moot of the expenses of his
competition.

(Continued from P .l Col.6)
According to one high administration
source, President Carter himself may go
to New York to take the U.8. seat in the
Security Council and deliver a major
Africa policy statement.
Responding to this rumor, one key
African diplomat says, “We will not be
appeased merely by a Carter appearance
here. He has to say something that will
really show a new direction for the U .8.
government in Africa."
•Ending U.S. nuclear cooperation with
South Africa. Some advisors say the
nuclear cooperation treaty with South
Africa should be terminated because
South Africa has not ratified the Nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty and is believed
to be developing weapons.
•Abolition of tax credits for U.S.
investors in South Africa and Namibia.
While the Democratic platform endorses
this action, business opposition makes the
abolition likely only for Namibia, where
only a few U.S. firms would be affected.
•Public pressure to force U.S. corpora
tions investing in South Africa to up
grade their treatment of Black employ
ees. A W hite House conference with key
industry leaders to discuss this and other
possibilities is now under consideration.
Sources confirm that the basic writing
of the State Department review is being
done by Donald Peterson, the principle
author of Kissinger's major African pol
icy messge delivered in Lusaka, Zambia,
last April.
Peterson refuses to discuss the project.
But knowledgeable sources say it may
include additional policy options aimed
specifically at demonstrating American
resolve to bring majority rule to Rhod
esia.
The Carter Administ ration has already
gone on record favoring repeal of the
Byrd Amendment, the legislation that
allowed U.S. imports of Rhodesian miner
als in violation of U N sanctions. Passage
of the repeal became almost certain
recently when the powerful stainless
steel industry dropped its opposition
because U.S. manufacturers can now
obtain the alloys they have been getting
Rhodesia from a new Union Carbide plant
in South Africa.
Other options include:
•Young's proposal to reopen the stilled
Geneva talks through prior consultations
involving Britain, the U.S., the front-line
African states plus Nigeria and Zaire-but
without South Africa and Rhodesia;
• A t least partial U.S. recognition of the
Patriotic Front, the group that recently
won front-line state recognition as the
legitimate representative of the Zim
babwe (Rhodesian) people;
•Pressuring U.S., British and Dutch oil
corporations to cut off Rhodesia's oil
supply in an effort to cripple the Ian
Smith government;
•Closing the Rhodesian information
office in Washington, the only official
Rhodesian agency operating outside
Southern Africa.

This year, after the installation of
$60,000,000 worth of air cleaning equip
ment, Pacific Power's Dave Johnston plant,
near Glenrock, Wyoming has stopped
smoking.
The first three units at the plant are now
connected to giant air cleaners— “electro
static precipitators’’--that remove the fly
ash.The result is a power plant without
smoke. Only Unit Four, which is equipped
with a "wet scrubber" system of ash re
moval, will produce any indication the plant
is operating.. .and that's only steam, which
evaporates quickly.
The Dave Johnston air improvement
this case the remodeling of an
older power plant, cost a lot of money. And
those costs will sooner or later show up in
higher electric bills.
Pacific will continue to work to improve
the environmental performance of its plants
and mines in Wyoming and elsewhere. It’ll
be expensive... but, as at Dave Johnston
plant, you know you’re getting your
money’s worth.
It works. No smoke.
