LESLIE WILLIAM DICK (right) PP&L's District Manager at Dayton,
samples a test-can of peas with A. D. Radebaugh, Gen. Mgr. of Blue Moun
tain Canneries, Inc. This company's plants at Dayton and Pomeroy and the
Bozeman Cannery at Waitsburg, together, will pack a 15,000-acre crop this
year. Les entered the electric business at Lewiston, Idaho, 30 years ago ; has
been in charge of Dayton-Waitsburg-Pomeroy district since 1929. During
World War I he served in 166th Depot Brigade. Has one daughter, now at
University of Washington, a son who is a First Lieutenant in the Marines.
"The largest pea fields in the world" are found along
the fertile slopes of the Blue Mountains. And they
actually mean an economic bonus to the area, since
they are largely raised between plantings of wheat.
The development of the important new crop'is giv
ing the district more of the stability that comes from
diversification just as the much more widely diver
sified activities of all 12 PP&L operating districts
make for a rugged, dependable electric system. Be
cause PP&L serves a complete cross-section of the
great Columbia Basin, users all over the system have
their electric service protected against local adversi
ties. Through the years they have found the benefits
of this business-managed system operation consis
tently reflected in lower and lower rates.

District Manager
O Peas, asparagus, wheat, beef cattle these
will help answer America's food problem. There's a lot of
satisfaction in knowing that right here in the Northwest
their production is setting records.
And, a lot of credit is due to the men who have made it
possible. They've been able to meet the challenge of war
not because of some rosy theory they read about in a book
the night before last but because they've been through
the mill of experience. They are the practical men who
know their business whether it is canning peas, raising
wheat, handling cattle or supplying electric service.
Your wartime electric service, for example, functions
f smoothly and efficiently because it has behind it an organ
ization developed over a long period of years. It rests on
a solid foundation and when sudden new demands are
thrown upon it, the men in charge know what to do, and
how to get the job done. They also know how to get the
answer economically, so that the enterprise will earn its
own keep.
That's the story in every one of the 12 operating dis
tricts that work together in the PP&L system. It's the
reason why this company was ready to do its wartime
job, and the reason it can be counted upon to keep on giving
you more and more for your money in the years to come.
