While at Jackson's Mill, visi-
tors saw the partially restored
Blaker's Mill. Work on this 200-
year-old grist mill is progressing
at a slow but steady pace.
The mill was given to the uni-
versity in 1984 by Robert Blaker,
a descendant of its original own-
ers. The mill had been in opera-
tion until tile early 1950s near
Alderson. Restoration, hampered
by a lack of funds and man-
power, is being done by 12 vol-
unteers, all that's left of an origi-
nal group of 108.
Blaker's Mill was dismantled
and transported to its present
Jackson's Mill hoine. Ernie Best,
maintenance chief of the stale's
4-H camp, and his crew spent
the summer of 1985 numbering
the stones and timbers for trans-
port. Using a fiat-bed trailer and
pick-up trucks, they loaded well
over 10,000 pounds of stone for
the trip to Jackson's Mill.
"Because of the dedication

and willingness of the mainte-
nance crew here at Jackson's
Mill. most of the restored struc-
ture will be of the original mate-
rials," Mr Best said.
A group of retired Wheeling
area residents reassembled the
structural timbers and stone-
work. Volunteers include former
truck drivers, an electrician, a
vocational teacher and a heavy-
construction worker, who are
provided with meals and hous-
ing while they work, usually dur-
ing the summer months.
"The value of the gift was
greatly increased by the amount
and condition of the original
tools and machines," said Paul
Marshall, owner of Paul D.
Marshall and Associates, a
Charleston-based architectural
firm that is directing the restora-
tion.
Much of the mill's original
machinery is wooden, and vol-
unteers are using hardwoods to
replace the wooden parts that
had deteriorated with age and
disuse. These parts include cogs
and gears turned by a water-
driven turbine that turns the
stones to grind grain. The
wooden machines are as efficient
as today's metal ones, but not as
long-lived.
Beyond the structure itself, a
mill pond, pump house, sluice-
way and millrace remain to be
constructed.
New School Officers'
Program Announced
All elected class officers in
their junior or senior years of
high school may apply for the
1991 United States Senate
Youth Program, according to
Senator John D. Rockefeller IV.
Two students fi'om each state
and the District of Columbia will
be selected to participate in the
program and will receive $2,000
college scholarships. First and
second alternates will also be
chosen, Mr Rockefeller said.
The program, to be held Feb-
ruary 2-9, will include meetings
with senators, cabinet members,
officials of the Departments of
State and Defense and the Su-
preme Court, as well as visits to
various Smithsonian museums.
"This is a unique, wonderful
opportunity for htgh school office
holders to experience firsthand
lhe way government works," Mr
Rockefeller said. "This is an in-
tensive study of the federal gov-
ernment.
"Because the scholarship re-
quires students to take two aca-
demic years of courses in United
States government, history, po-
litical science or economics,
those selected are on their way
to learning even more about our
country," Mr Rockefeller added.
Selection of delegates to the
program is made by the state
Superintendent of Schools in
co6peratior~ with the high school
principals and is based on out-
standing ability and demon-
strated qualities of leadership.
Interested students should
contact their high school princi-
pals, state Superintendent of
Schools or the United States
Senate Youth Program at (415)

ery St., Suite 1212, San Fran-
