Each youth s Progress is closely monitored and monthly reports Are issued to the referring Agency which con tracts with the program for its services. Recruiting is up to the work with churches civic groups and colleges to find prospective advocates. We re not professionals says Woodson. We re just Ordinary peo ple. We just like this Agency is desperately needed says Katherine Beecher 24, a York col lege student and one of the Street advocates. It s the greatest thing that Ever Cue along.

We got married on the show an got married for real last june. I think the soaps Are the Best training ground around. That combined with Stock. The soaps teach you your Craft. You have to learn a 30-Page script every night. If you can do that and maintain your integrity you will emerge As an he was la the theatrical movies the one and Only and the other sue of the Mountain. Part the to movies ski lift to death and Tantalas and bad Vest Star rates a the love boat police Barnaby Jones and what really happened to the class of a few years ago when Lee majors was threatening to quit the six million Man Franks was suggested As a replacement. He said How do you recast that show i said i could t replace Lee majors. They hired me anyway but Lee majors came Back he was also reluctant to take the role in the new ,. I originally turned it Down he said. I in t want to be cast As a Young Jim Gar Ner. Then 11 a the script by Juanita Bart Lett. It s the a St i be Ever read and i called up and accepted. "1 Don t feel i m doing another Jim Gar Ner. We re very different but alike in some ways. I think that s Why they cast me. A Alasa s booked up by g. Michael Harmon associated press tourist pamphlets picture America s northernmost National Park As a vast and spectacular wilderness dominated by towering mountains an abundant wildlife. After watching the Midnight Sun shimmer across the ice blanketed Summit of my. Mckinley and herds of Caribou prance Over the alaskan Tundra few could argue that the Park is indeed vast and spectacular. But during the Tenlen summer months few would de scribe their visit to the sub Arctic Sanctuary As a Wilder Ness experience. For All but the hardened Backpacker Mckinley National Park is booked up for the summer. With almost two million acres out there it seems strange to say we re full but that s about the size of it says Dan Kuehn Park superintendent. All the spaces in the campgrounds and All the rooms in the hotel Are re served through aug. 15."we Haven t had to turn away any people who want Back country permits yet but we be had to impose restrictions on where they can my. Mckinley the highest Peak in North Ameri Ca at 20,320 feet is being assaulted by so Many climbers that volunteers have begun sponsoring annual expeditions to cleanse its lofty flanks of garbage. I think we re up to four clean up patrols a year now says Kuehn. It gets pretty heavy up there sometimes. Pressure on the Mountain has become so intense that the Park service is considering installing Porta ble toilets at the 7,000-foot level of the Kah Lutna Gla Cier one of the favorite Landing spots for Bush pilots and their cargoes of cumbers. Over the years people have just dug latrines in the Snow but it s to the Point now where it s becoming badly polluted Kuehn says. You can t even melt the Snow up own sense to Between 400 and 450 climb ers will attempt to reach the Summit of Mckinley or nearby 17,395-foot my. Foraker this summer. About two dozen climbers were on Mckinley during the crowded a sati the Bicente Mal fourth of jul when we had Between 75 and 80 climbers on the Summit at the same time but they be still kept us jumping Kuehn far this year two climbers part of a japanese expedition have teen killed in Falls and the Park service has rescued 11 others who were stranded or injured on the or evacuation of a body costs taxpayers about s3 000, prompting suggestions that the Park serv ice charge for the service like the government of Switzer land. The coast guard does t charge for search an Rescue operations and it s not Likely to happen Here Kuehn says. In addition to Riding Herd Over climbers Park officials also Are being hard pressed to accommodate summer tourists from the lower 48 states who Are pouring into the More easily travelled areas of the preserve in growing numbers. Many tourists arrive by chartered bus from Anch Rageand Fairbanks As part of package Tours to Alaska and keep the Park s 489-room hotel in double knit Leisure suits the hotel bound tourists witness the mountains and wildlife fro the windows of buses which chug up and Down the Park s single 87-mile-Long Road in a non Stop caravan throughout the Long summer Haven t seen such a crowd since we were at Dis Neyland quipped one tourist As he and his wife jostled into line for one of the buses. Are you sure this is All real what the tourists see from the Road and that s All the great majority Ever sees of the 1.9 million acres of Park is stunning landscape and with a Little Luck some Choice wildlife Moose Caribou grizzly Bear perhaps even a Wolf. The full bus run around Mckinley takes eight hours and includes vistas of the great Mountain fog and Clouds permitting. For campers there Are seven campgrounds wit Sites for 200 tents and goo recreational vehicles but they too Are booked for the rest of the season. It s to the Point where the state is allowing the re s to Park alongside the Road outside the Park Kuehn says. That s How 1 can Tell what it s like in the Park. I Call tithe Wayside below eater. If they re lined up out there we know we re going to have a Busy the More rugged visitors there Are backpacking treks but the fragile nature of the sub Arctic Region has forced the Park service to impose Sharp restrictions on even the most Remote areas of the Park has been divided into 31 backpacking units and no More than six hikers Are allowed into any one unit at 8 think we re approaching maximum capacity on the North Side of the Alaska says Kuehn. That Why we Are so interested in expanding the Southern Boundary where the land is less fragile and can handle More legislation which Vrouir add 4.z million acres to the Park As part of to Murou acre Alaska nation Al interests lands Bui recently passed the . House of representatives. But the proposal has come under fire in the Senate As too sweeping. "1 know it s a Complex Issue but i can t see How any body can look at our experience and say Mckinley National Park is big enough As it is Kuehn says. The stars and stripes Page is
