The two men contacted Dave Gilmore, Bill Wridge, John VanPelt, Joe Endert and others, to clarify information, and to gain local color, such as exact locations of certain events. Dave Gilmore, who in the early days drove freight teams, carried mail and did packing, was first to be contacted. He acquainted the two historians with John VanPelt, Bill Wridge and others, who were able to supply much information relative to old- time residents whose lives influenced early day his tory of the southwestern part of Oregon.

The greater part of this is being utilized by rural electric co-operatives such as ours. This federal rural electrification pro gram has been a leading factor in raising the nation’s level of electrified farms from one out of ten in 1935 to seven out of ten today. “We’re going ahead with plans to serve the greatest possible number of rural people in our area. We operate on an area cov erage basis—in other words, we hope eventually to bring service to every rural resident who wants electricity instead of only those in our more thickly populated communities. “In addition, we recognize our obligation to provide service which is adequate to our ex panding needs. We have re-built our living arrangements and our farm production around electric ity and it must be provided con tinuously and in ample amounts. “The rural electrification act requires that REA loans be re paid over a maximum 35-year Concluded on Page Eight Making his official visit to clubs of District No. 152, Rotary’ In ternational, Chas.

It seems to be, from what the Pilot can learn, the general opinion to have all industries of the com munity carry on the work, in place of representatives of the almost 20 organizations. It is figured that a more co-operative effort will result. The 1949 Lily Blossom Time Committee originated the idea that all industries should join forces to put on future shows. It has been suggested that three each from all industries in the area be named to be come a permanent committee. Under this plan a new personnel would not be forced to stage the pa rade, and lack experience of a previous festival.
