MW Power Supply Viewed as Good ByPP&LHead KM Optimism about the future of the Pacific Northwest and its pow er supply was expressed June 17 by Paul B. McKee, president of Pacific Power & Light, at a din ner meeting of Springfield and Cottage Grove employees at the Wiilamalane Memorial Building in Springfield. The meeting was one of a series being held throughout the Pacific service area honoring the com pany’s 2234 employees and their wives and husbands. Total service for the entire group represents 22,343 years. “Power Outlook Favorable” Power outlook in the next few years is very favorable, McKee pointed out, with McNary. Chief Joseph, The Dalles and other dams now under construction to bring in about 3,000.000 kilowatts of new generating capacity by 1960. Pacific Power & Light and three of its neighbor companies have under study a group of hy- droelectric projects totaling 1,- 181,000 kilowatts to meet power growth needs after 1960, McKee reported. "We are also very hopeful that an additional 1,000,000 kilowatt development may soon be started at the John Day site on the Col umbia River as a result of joint NEWS & NOTES By Vinal Jr. and K um After the big fuss kicked up by the coffee shortage and resultant high prices, let’s investigate the history of the little beans culti- vated by our neighbors to the south.' A fourteenth century Arabian, named Kaldi, is said to be the dis coverer of the coffee habit. The ancient Turks were said to have taken so strongly to coffee breaks that they negtected business mat ters to the extent that the Gover nor of Mecca banned public coffee houses as "places of corruption." Coffee made its way to England in the fifteenth century and by 1668 it was introduced on these shores. If you are lukewarm toward our way of brewing the stuff, try methods used in other parts of the wlorld The French, for example, lean toward cafe au lait, an eye- opener composed/of strong black coffee and scalded milk, poured half-and-half from two containers. Turkish coffee is brewed to the consistency of Mississippi River bottom mud. The Brazilians fill a demitasse with granulated sugar and pour strong coffee over it, a practice designed to end the short age in a hurry if adopted here. By the way, you’ll never be lukewarm toward the service and quality you can expect at RAN DALL & WOOLCOTT, 41 S. 6th St. Our line of building supplies is large and varied enough to meet any need. As far as prices go see us first and make your dollars last. Vinal Russ Randall » .
