 Ii seems the proiecs Snettsham in southeastern and Bradley Lake, inc Kenai Peninsula, will be something entirely new in design and type than Alaska has known before.
 New jobs in the field of surveying, engineering hy- droogy, geology steehvork concrete finishing, mining, heavy equipment operation, truck drivng inewok, time keepng administration clerical, etc, will be created by inc project.
 t doesn't seem to that these job titles are SO new to Aaskans; strange to way of ife Though, per- haps dont have enough people in these fields in Alaska though overun with promoters) to full fill the jobs on Bradley Lake and Snettisham we'll bet good poke that have inc nucleus for this type work, and we have plenty of fellows who would like to Iearn
 If somebody doesn't teach our unsE|ed these trades, and give them chance to make living from these pro- iects then inc contracting agencies will just qo "out- side" for help Again.

NORTH STAR
 AWARD

He heard cries for help not far from him. Mike looked up and al most directly in front of him was small girl clinging to the edge of the ice where she had fallen through" reported OTZ Sound Waves, Kotzebue Day School paper.
 The paper was talking about Michael Mike" Mendenhall, Is year old Eskimo boy who saved the life of a little girl
 Friends, Blanche Lincoln and Jo Ann Ipalook, both II. had ben skating together on the ice in front of the main part of the town of Kotzebue.
 They had "skated a ways on the ice. On the way back they discover ed large pond of water had form ed on the ice. Thinking it was solid, Blanche skated over to it and fell in. Jo Ann turned around and skat- ed over to the pond but did not stop soon enough; and, as result, she, too, fell in.
 Blanche was in the center of the pool of water while Jo Ann was holding onto the ice,' The Sound Waves continued.
 Neither of us could scream, but after I gained my senses, I yelled" Jo Ann said later
 When Mike Mendenhall heard Jo Ann's cries for help he quickly skated over, took his jacket off ana used it to reach the girl. Jo Ann couldn't hold on to the coat probably because of numb fingers.
 Disregarding his own safety, Mike craWled to the edge of the danger ous ice and grabbed Jo Ann by the shoulder and pulled her out She was safe, but her little friend, Blanche Lincoln, drowned.
 Mike Mendenhall is a high school freshman in the Kotzebue Day School Directed Studies Program. Previous to this year he was at the Moravian Childen's Home in Kwethluk, Alaska; and. before that, he attended grade school in Kotze- bue.
 And so to Michael Mike, Men denhall, whose presence of mind figured greatly in his heroic rescue of Jo Ann. Ipalook, while endanger- ing his own life, goes the twenty seventh North Star Award along with our deep sympathies for Rod ney Lincoln and his family.
