I8 Ask yourself where you would find the only American city located on an Indian reservation? Where you would look for an American town named for a Spanish count? Where is there an eastern rail freight terminal ten miles from the Atomic Energy Commission's first approved nuclear storage facility and located on the largest artificial lake east of the Mississippi? The answer is Salamanca, New York. These questions were posed in an article published in a recent issue of 'LWater Journal, a mag- izine published by the Rockwell Manufacturing Company of Pittsburgh. The article recounts the recent construction of the Kinzua Dam and Allegheny Reservoir just southwest of the city, and the development of the Nuclear Service Center in the Town of Ashford to the north. In this day of critical water shortages the author points out that Salamanca overlies a vast underground lake which provides it with an almost inexhaustible supply of pure, cold water. The article concludes with the statement: that new people and new industries are on their way to the Salamanca area. Salamanca is f ideally situated geographically for those who like the leisurely pace and feeling of a small city and yet desire the proximity and stimulation of a metropolitan area. It is sixty- two miles from Buffalo and the University of Buffalo and Buffalo State Teachers College. It is eighteen miles from Clean and St. Bonaventure University, eighteen miles from Bradford, Pennsyl- vania, and its branch of the University of Pittsburgh, thirty miles from Jamestown and the Jamestown Community College, and thirty miles from Fredonia and the campus of Fredonia State Teachers College. The Allegany State Park, one of the largest parks in the state, is at our door offering summer and winter recreational opportunities, and the area is dotted with ski resorts, many of which are open the year round for golf, swimming and hiking. The city, divided by the Allegheny River, has a population of 8,428. At the present time there are two parochial elementary schools and four public elementary schools two of which were constructed within the last four years, and a junior senior high school 'built nine years ago. The total school enrollment in the public schools is 2,307. Salamanca is justifiably proud of its schools and their dynamic leadership. It is a community that is not only looking ahead but working ahead. If . -.1q 7? H 1 T11 like .A ..
