12 Missoulian, Monday, May 28, 1979 mi Mock air war starts Tuesday, ends Tuesday GREAT FALLS (AP) Thirty-nine Canadian and United States aircraft, some from Arizona. Minnesota and Michigan, will gather over northern Canada to make up the "enemy'' attack force for the North American Air Defense Command 24th Region simulated air war excercise Tuesday through Friday. The mock air battle is to begin about dark Tuesday and end four hours later, giving the 24th officials an opportunity to see how well their defenses detect and slop the bomber attack. Weapons controllers in the 24th's "blockhouse" at Malms-trom Air Force Base will scramble aircraft from the Montana Air National Guard's 120th Fighter Interceptor Group at Min-ot AFB in North Dakota. The live flying portion of the exercise will be over portions of Montana, North Dakota, Alberta, and Manitoba where supersonic activity can be conducted over sparsely populated areas.

Toddler drowns in creek near her home in Chinook CHINOOK (AP) A 1-year-old girl drowned Friday evening when she wandered away from her home to a nearby creek, Blaine County authorities reported Saturday. The county sheriff's office said Carrie Lynn Alcorn apparently wandered to Red Rock Creek near the west edge of town. Her body was found in shallow water 15 to 20 minutes later by her father, Perry Alcorn. Disabled veterans would resume draft registration LEWISTOWN (AP) The Montana chapter of Disabled American Veterans Saturday endorsed a resolution calling for a resumption of draft registration and standby military draft powers. The resolution, adopted unanimously by about 100 members attending the group's annual meeting in Lewistown, urges Congress "to immediately reimplement draft registration." "The volunteer army idea, though noble in concept and theory, has been tried and found wanting at the particular time in history," the group said.

The chapter also approved resolutions calling for construction of a veterans' nursing home at Fort Harrison, near Helena; creation of a new federal cemetery in Montana; and opposing any move to incorporate the Veterans' Administration in the Department of Health, Education an Welfare. The group claims slightly more than 3,000 members in Montana. MSU teacher's program may be phased away HELENA (AP) The acting commissioner of higher education is preparing to ask the Board of Regents to phase out by June 1983 the undergraduate elementary teachers programs at Montana State University and the University of Montana. George Bandy's proposal, contained in a 25-page report, would see the continuation of elementary education programs only at Eastern, Northern and Western Montana colleges. Bandy also suggests transferring all graduate work in education to I'M in Missoula, except for a few specified subjects.

"I'm not taking this lightly," said William Tietz, president of MSU. He said he was surprised by the recommendations. Tietz claims the proposal will dismantle valuable programs that have served the state well. Bandy said in the report that since the regents are committed to keeping six units in the university system, they are going to have to find a way to bring enrollments up on the small campuses. Under the plan, no freshman elementary students would be admitted to MSU or UM after fall quarter 1979.

Bandy, former president of Western Montana at Dillon, also proposes that duplicate doctoral programs be reviewed again by June 1982 with the goal of elminating duplication in the system. MonTana briefs. Ranch women turn hands to beef canning venture HAKLOWTON IAI'i Montana Ranch Beef, a corporation formed by seven ranch women to find new markets for Montana-produced meat, plans to construct a meat-canning plant at Ilarlowton. Plans for the 4.000-square-foot building have been approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The City of Ilarlowton has received a government grant to purchase land from the Milwaukee Railroad and install water and sewer lines. The building, when finished, will be leased to Montana Ranch Iieef with an option to buy. Currently, the company's beef and pork is custom canned in Butte. Equipment for the building already has been purchased and stored in Ilarlowton. Yvonne Snider of Lewistown, president of Ranch Beef, said "we feel Montanans should be processing their raw materials instead of shipping them out of state for processing and then buying them back." The meat is produced in Montana, canned in its own juice with only salt added.

Sales have exceeded expectations, Mrs. Snider said. The canned goods are now sold in all Buttreys, Safeway and Associated Grocers retail stores in Montana and northern Wyoming and there are other outlets, she said. Escapees from Hill County Jail broke through wall HAVRE (AP) Three men escaped from the Hill County Jail early Sunday, apparently after using a pipe to break a hole in their cell wall, Havre authorities reported. The three remained at large Sunday evening.

They were identified as Winston Roy Hardy, 20, of Havre, being held on theft and forgery charges; Ken John Madison, 18, Mountain Home, Idaho, charged with possession of marijuana; and Frank Michael Scaramuzzi, 20, Ambler, also charged with marijuana possession. Authorities speculated that the three may have hopped freight trains bound for Great Falls or Glasgow. All were reportedly wearing short-sleeved shirts and jeans. The sheriff's office said the escape occurred about 3 a.m. A Havre police officer said the three apparently used the pipe to open a hole in the wall of their first-floor cell.

They then crawled through the hole to freedom. Obituaries Rabies again a threat, say state health officers HELENA (AP) Montana health officials are warning that the arrival of spring means the renewed threat of rabies being transmitted from wild animals to people, house pets or livestock. A news release quoted Dr. Martin Skinner of the state health department as saying wild skunks and bats pose the most serious threat of rabies, a disease of the nervous system that is almost always fatal in humans once its symptoms appear. It is transmitted when the saliva of an infected animal comes in contact with a break in the skin, such as through a bite.

Only a series of painful injections can prevent onset of the symptoms. Skinner said skunks are particularly dangerous because they carry a potent amount of rabies virus. He said rabid skunks have moved as far west as Liberty, Judith Basin and Yellowstone Counties. He said rabies is so common in wild bats that all bats should be considered rabid. On the other hand, the disease is rare or unknown in rabbits and rodents, he said.

Skinner said that if a person comes in contact with a potentially rabid animal, the head of the animal should be preserved for testing. Testing can be arranged through veterinarians or local health departments. Coal fund applications to be reviewed soon HELENA (AP) Applications from the stale historical society and the cities of Livingston, Billings and Laurel for state coal development impact money will be considered next week when the Montana Coal Board meets in Hardin. The board has set full reviews on those applications for June 8, the second day of its two-day session. Preliminary reviews are scheduled for June 7 on applications from Custer and Powder River counties for planning money; Forsyth School District 4 for a new high school; and Hysham for a water renovation project.

The coal board is in charge of disbursing a portion of the money collected from Montana's 30 percent severance tax on coal. The money is intended to help affected areas cope with the effects of coal development. Record Jeane Richardson attle; a stepson, William Richardson.
