JONES United Press Staff Correspondent SALEM, Ore., April 21 u.M Generators will soon start voltage moving from mighty Bonneville dam, and backers of public power today organized their forces lor a drive to make western Oregon power-conscious. Herman E. Lafky, attorney for the southwest Washington people's utility district, said public-power workers would strive to pull Ore gon up to a par with the state of Washington, where 25 districts have been organized. Test For WD At the same time, the move fur nished Interest as a practical ui of the PUD statute passed by the recent legislature: Will the new law hamper or ganizations of people's utility dis tricts or facilitate the drive to wards public power? The outcome of the campaign may provide an answer within a few months after passage of the bill. , Chief sponsors of the drive were members of the Farmers' Union, for which Lafky is attorney. No one knew where the Oregon State Grange stood, and the Grange at titude may have a bearing on the public-power situation in Oregon Praise Power Law Lafkv today praised the law Fairgrounds NYA Project To Start For the past four years projects with the National Youth Adminis tration have been carried on at the Lane county fairgrounds in con nection with the beautification of the grounds and the remodeling of some of the buildings, included in which was the erection of the 4-H club handicraft shop.

Refreshments were served to the following ladies: Mrs. Wil liams, Mrs. Lloyd, Mrs. Wallace Davis, Mrs. A. C.

Several games were played and prizes went to Mrs. Swanson and Mrs. Swensen. The next meeting will be with Mis. Lloyd. MONOGRAMMED STATIONERY VALLEY PRINTING CO. passed by the legislature as a more satisfactory arrangement for peo ple's utility districts. When the bill was up before the legislature, however, the Grange put up determined opposition to the restrictions, which were these: Every issue of revenue bonds must be referred to voters of the district; districts must pay munici pal, county and state taxes as pri vate corporations now do; inoper ative districts must submit, on petitions of the voters, to a dis solution election in 10 years. If the Grange and other ele ments in the public-power group turn down participation in the campaign, the way may be open to a decided rift. Bonneville Opposed to Restrictions It was generally well-known at the legislative session that the Bonneville office was opposed to the restrictions suggested by Gov. Charles A. Sprague and other con servatives in both houses. Sen Lyman Ross, Dem., Wash ington, carried the fight against the bill to a bitter conclusion. Subsequent threats of a referen dum movement died down and a high grange official said the statute would be given a two-year tryout before the referendum was invoked. The present attitude of the Bon neville office was not known. J. u. Ross, first administrator, died while the legislature was in ses sion, and his successor must de termine the attitude, if any. Two Districts Organized The drive today started with but two districts now organized one in Tillamook, the other in Clatsop. Neither is in operation. Two other districts were organized through aid of the rural electrification ad ministration, but are located in areas not now served by private companies. i iw.il J mil "HWW -' 1 1 fa " . b 'Zrr'l JACK BENNY, radio comedian, is shown on his way from federal court In New York city where he was fined 510,000 and given a suspended sentence of s year and a day on smuggling charges.
