said.
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.

SEMINOLE — For between 500
and 700 members of Old Colony
Mennonites, Wednesday may mark
the end of an American dream and
the realization of an American
nightmare.
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.”
