AFLC PRESS SERVICE group of Sacramento civic leaders and Sacramento AMA personnel recently visited Utah on a two-da- y fact finding trip to Weber State College and Ogden AMA to study the college vocational training facilities. The success of the Weber contribution to the community and the nearby Air Force installation may stir enough interest in the visiting civic leaders to initiate a similar program in Sacramento. Graduates of the Weber School of T e c h n o ogy and Education Trade are the sole source of supply for instrument mechanics at eludes about 1.3 million pounds of RP-- 1 fuel and 4 million pounds of liquid oxygen as an oxidizer, plus smaller amounts of other chemical fuels, most of which SAAMA supplies.

In order to show community and school leaders in Sacramento that such a program was feasible, SMAMA, in October of last year, allowed the use of a former base warehouse by the County Board of Education in cooperation with the six high schools in the county to provide vocational training for 160 seniors. The success of that program and the trip to Weber College may prove to civic business leaders and educators that such a vocational program would not only train high school graduates, but would also attract industry to the community that could use the skills of program graduates.
