Two State Men
Participate in
Mercury Project

When the Mercury space-craft
orbited earth, two Delaware
men were among the communi-
cations experts participating in
the project. The men: Leroy j.
Wolf, Jr., of l26 Compass Drive,
Wilmington, telephone company
staff specialist, and Alfred S.
Crisson, of 240 Delaware Aven-
ue, Harrington, telephone COM
pany engineer. Both men are
currently on loan to the West
ern Electric Company's Project
Mercury force. Wolf is serving
with Western Electric in New
York and his responsibilities in
cluded establishing the Mercury
training program and mission
operations procedures, count
down procedures and the polio
les used by the Mercury ground
tracking stations. Crisson is
presently assigned to Western
Electric as a training director at
the Canary Island Site of Pro-
ject Mercury. These men are
part of the communications
team recruited by the Western
Electric Company from Bell
System companies to take part
in the space project. The ma
tionaI Aeronautics and Space
Administration has assigned the
Bell Systems manufacturing and
supply unit the responsibility
for building and testing a glob-
al communications and tracking
network by which scientific data
collected by the orbiting craft
can be Immediately transmitted
to the processing center at Cape
Canaveral.

Bradshaw said. by getting a
composite picture of the needs
of the State as a whole we can
best plan intelligently to ensure
that Delaware's farmers get ex-
actly the type of help they need
when they want it. Delay until
the actual approach of the sea-
sonal need makes it more diff
ficult to give the best possible

ment, and lavatory supplies)

can see that this would be
an advantage. Are there other
areas where this type of spec
ialization will pay off?
Yes. One such area is in
teacher recruitment. The Smyr-
ma administrators contact about
l8 commercial placement agenc-
les and about 80 Teacher-train-
ing colleges. The Clayton dis
trict must do some of this also.
Here the work would not be
increased, for the basic work
is in contracting and interview
ing candidates. One person
could be responsible for carry
ing out this task and, of course,
the Board of Education would
remain responsible for the ac-
tual hiring. Teacher recruit
ment is time-consuming, but i'm
portant. Some large districts
(such as Alfred | DuPont) have
one individual assigned almost
to this task during the spring
and summer months. Such re-
cruitment pays off. Naturally,
not all teachers hired are per
feet" Smyrna has obtained
some very fine teachers, how
ever, during recent years and
only one of the 404 secondary
teachers in Smyrna at the pres
ent time holds a "substandard"
certificate. AS teacher recruit
ment procedures improve, the
quality of the teaching staff
should improve.
Are there other such areas of
specialization that might result
in improved services?
We will mention one or more.
Both districts have building pro-
grams in the picture, either now
or in the future. 1t is not de-
sirable to take the time of a
for supervising and
working with such program.
The central administrators of
the Smyrna district are expert
enced with such programs; they
know where difficulties have a.
risen in the past and should
know how to avoid costly pit
falls. 1t seems only logical that
consolidation would create eff
ficiency in this area.
Doesn't "bigness" result in
and more administrators?
This hasn't proved to be true
in the two districts at present.
Clayton has Is teaching units
and one administrator. Smyrna
has 78 teaching units and 4 ad-
ministrators, or one for every
1875 teaching units. 1t could be
assumed that the consolidated
district would operate on one
administrator to every 1920
teaching units. Also, it should
be noted that these admins
traitors could specialize. For ex-
ample, one would be responsible
for purchases, bidding, financial
and building supervis-

Future Coal Uses

GAS time goes on, coal will be-
come more valuable as a source of
hydro carbons for the chemical in
dustry.
so far the only practical use for
the large quantities of uranium in
the world is the extraction of the
energy locked in the nucleus of
the uranium atom.
This energy may be utilized to
produce electric power or high ex-
ploSives.
I'm view of these facts, GVEA
continues to give serious considera-
ton to nuclear reactor as opposed
to coal-fired steam plant for the
production of energy at the lowest
possible cost.
There are number of questions
yet to be resolved before construc-
ton can be started on either a nu-
clear or coal plant.
at is anticipated that the decision
may be made in the very near flu
ture,' said Purcell
Jessen's weekly., 1962-05-16

coal, which is only eight per cent
OF the total 1861 coal production of
approximately 100000 tons.
Big Savings
Taking full account of the net
effect on the local economy of
nuclear, instead of coal generation.
1t Is possible that net savings in the
cost of energy from nuclear plants
would be between l and 2 million
dollars for the period through 1878.
Uranium mining is not the we'll
established industry in Alaska that
coal mining is, but there is at least
one uranium mine operating.
The Ross-Adams Mine at Kendrick
Bay produced $500 tons of ore last
year. Greater production for the
mine is expected for 1862.
Compared with coal-fired
plant where large volumes of coal
must be handled continuously, the
fueling of a nuclear reactor is rela-
lively simple.
"Refueling is accomplished by re-
placing small number of the fuel
elements at intervals of six months
to two years.
This would preclude such diff
culties as were experienced last
winter with coal-fired plants in &C
degrees below zero weather.
There is some question of the
wisdom of burning Alaska's coal
just because it is there.
Burning coal for its energy con-
tent is the lowest order use of coal.

Both Golden Valley Electric
Association and the Municipal
Utilities System are now max
ing plans to alleviate any power
shortage that is certain to occur
next winter in Fairbanks.
In order to do this, additional
power plants must be built.
These additional plants are
expected to lower the cost of
Electricity and prevent a
'brown OUT next winter.
Herbert c. Purcell, general man.
ager of Golden Valley, had some
interesting information to offer re-
garding their plans.
In answering our question as to
the present status of plans for ad-
ditional generation in the Fairbanks
area. Purcell had this to say:
with the exception of Rampant,
there are no hydro sites in this area
which will produce energy at a
price comparing favorably with
that from other sources.
Since there is presently no local
source of either gas or oil, they
would have to be imported, making
the cost too high in base load plants.
Practical Application

of oll-fired generation equipment in
the form of reserve or peaking gen.
Grafton where oil-fired diesels or
gas turbines provide capacity at
low first cost.
However these units would be
expected to run only very small
percentage of the time-and conse-
quently the costs of fuel consumed
would not be a major item.
Coal is the fuel we now use for
all electricity generated in this
area.
Large quantities are now avail
able at Healy, and perhaps other
areas.
The cost of coal is moderate.

peaklng capacity, and either ura-

the production of relatively low cost
energy.
Plants Compared
Comparing coal and nuclear
plants, | would like to make the
following assumption:
Costs and efficiency of a coal
fired plant per estimates by GVEA
and MUS consulting engineers-and
reviewed by Rural Electric Admin
lstration officials, was that coal
prices would be in line with those
IN the States, and substantially less
than present prices.
cat the same time, nuclear costs
and efficiencies would be as pro-
posed by experienced manufacture
ers of the same as reviewed by
GVEA's consultant.
"On the basis of the foregoing as
sumptions, the total cost of cleo
tricity through 1878 would be be-
tween 2 and million dollars less
from a nuclear plant than from a
coal-fired plant.
"a nuclear plant would replace
locally produced coal and thereby
have an effect on the local economy
and this could be offset by the pos
sible savings from nuclear genera
ton.
"Nuclear generation in 1865 to
supply energy required by both
GVEA and MUS systems would re-
place approximately $4,000 tons OF

Duo Di Roma Will
Perform Monday

Two great Italian instrumental
ists-worid renowned, information
ally acclaimed by press and aud
fence alike-cellist Massimo Am
fitheatrof and pianist Ornella San
toliquido, will perform for the To-
cal Alaska Music Trail audience
on Monday, April 2, at 8:15 pm.
in the Kodiak high school audi
forum.
Coming to Kodiak for the con-
Guiding concert of the current
season from their fifth tour of
Canada and the United States,
they will continue on to Japan,
via Hawaii.
Ten years ago these two remark
able Italian virtuoso players COM
bined to form the Duo Di Roma.
Since then they have enchanted
audiences throughout Europe,
North, South and Central Ameri-
ca and Canada.
The Duo Di Roma is not COM
prised of cellist and an accom-
panist-far from it. This team
consists of two absolutely equal
parts, each one a virtuoso player
in his own right, each one a solo
player on various occasions. Be-
cause of their technical proves
and finely integrated ensemble
playing, they are able to program
works which show the brilliance
of both partners as well as the del
icate nuance of great ensemble
playing.

Florence, studied with Maestro
Brugnoli, and is today considered
the leading woman pianist of
Italy. She is member of the
faculty of the st. Cecilia Conserva-
tory in Rome and has appeared as
a Soloist under the most famous
conductors in Europe and North
and South America.
Signor Amfitheatrof, who was
born in Paris and studied with
Gilberto Crepax in Milan, is recog-
nized as one of the great cellists
of our time.
The Duo will open their concert
with a spirited Concerto by vi
valdi and follow with set of the
Beethoven Variations on theme
from Mozart's Magic Flute" The
heart of the program is the great
Beethoven A major Sonata, per-
hapS the most loved sonata in the
whole cello-and-piano repertoire.
After intermisison, by special re-
quest, the Duo have programmed
a group of cello pieces. They in
clude the sublime Bach Adagio,
pieces by Ravel and Bloch, and
the gay Pastorale and Reel by
Cyril Scott.
The concluding selection is the
Strauss F Major Sonata, one of
the greatest virtuoso sonatas ever
written. It is romantic in style,
singing, soaring, whispering in the
cello, richly brilliant in the piano,
and in turn serene, melancholy,
gay and passionate.
