A Wheat Associates milling con sultant reported that flour milling operations have improved over the past few years and some plants are planning to install high-speed equipment to pack family-sized packages of flour. In Tokyo, Wheat Associates re ported that Japan’s production of premix flour products has risen from 5,000 tons about 20 years ago to 130,000 tons in 1977, with much of the grain originating from the United States. The American group promoted American wheat at a trade show for operators of 3,500 Japanese noodle restaurant operators. The Tokyo of fice of Wheat Associates also pro moted Japanese imports of Califor nia raisins to be used by the baking industry. Foreign Agriculture gave Wheat Associates in Taiwan credit for open ing of Taiwan’s first American-style fast-food hamburger restaurant. As many as 40 outlets, selling hambur gers on buns made from wheat, are expected in the next three years. The first American franchise pizza outlet is opening in Taiwan this year after two years of work by Wheat Associates. The group has also worked with Taiwanese educational officials to establish baking centers to produce rolls for school children. In the first half of last year, 13 baking centers produced 4.1 million rolls and 28,450 kilograms of noodles for 222 schools, largely from American wheat. Seven baking centers were started with help from Wheat As sociates and six more were set up without financial assistance from the Americans. Wheat Associates has sponsored baking workshops in Singapore. American wheat exports to Korea, Japan, Taiwan and Singapore in fis cal 1978 totaled 5.5 million metric tons.

On that day, Jan. 31, a private congressional bill allowing them to stay in the United States will expire. With that expiration could go mil lions of invested dollars and the promise of a self-sufficient life in America, although officials say ap peals and legal maneuvers likely will delay the actual expiration date by weeks or months. The Mennonites moved to West Texas from Canada and Mexico in February 1977. They bofight 6,400 acres of land. The land cost $1.6 mil- lion and expensive equipment pushed the investment toward $3 million. The Mennonites from Mexico left to escape religious persecution and land expropriation, while their brethren from Canada emigrated in hopes of finding a longer growing season and cheaper land. But they entered the country nearly two years ago holding only tourist cards, due to expire in 60 days. They came believing the pur chase of land would make them eli gible for permanent status. Shortly after their arrival, the members found they would soon have to leave the United States, de spite the huge investment they had made in property and equipment. They were given an extension to Jan. 31, 1978, by the Immigration and Naturalization Service. The INS hoped the skilled Mennonite work ers could achieve job certification which would qualify them for a working visa, the so-called “green card.” A second extension was granted last year allowing the Mennonites an additional year to work out their employment and financial troubles. That deadline will pass Wednesday. Deputy District Director William Nolan of the INS said recently only five Mennonites have submitted applications for permanent status. Mayor Bob Clark, a Seminole insur ance man and a liaison for the Men nonites, estimates there may be as many as 700 Mennonites in West Texas now, most of them living in Seminole. The Mennonite Church began during the Reformation in the 1500s. It spread from Switzerland and the Netherlands across Europe and Russia. Mennonites came to North America in the 1680s, settling first in Pennsylvania. Mennonites oppose the taking of oaths, infant baptism, military serv ice and the acceptance of public of fice. They favor plain dress. Peter Bergen, one of the sect’s leaders, says, “We ll probably leave before they deport us, hut we ll stay until we get letters telling us to go home.” William Chambers, regional di rector of the immigration service, said, “Our first approach to them after the deadline is to advise them of their problems. About 30 days later, we ll look at the situation more seriously.” DISCOUNT MOVIE PASSES FOR CINEMA I & II VALID FOR SUPERMAN & CALIFORNIA SUITE GOOD FOR STUDENTS, FACULTY & STAFF AVAILABLE AT: RUDDER BOX OFFICE S2.25 Political Science Society 1st Meeting of Spring Semes ter is Tues.
