PROTEIN IN WARTIME MEALS
Every homemaker likes to plan
her dinner menu around a "main
dish" and for this purpose dried le
gumes of one kind or another could
be used more frequently. These
vegetables, so typically American
are all very rich in protein. Al
though they can not entirely take
the place of the protein of meat,
fish, eggs, milk and cheese, they
can serve as a valuable protein
source in these war days. Most
dried legumes, kidney beans, lima
beans, split peas, lentils, are simi
lar in food value and any one of
the varieties may be chosen for
the hearty dish of the main meal of
tlie day.
Soybeans, less well known but
coming into more general use, are
in a class by themselves among
the dried legumes. They are far
superior as a source of protein. They
also furnish much larger amountts
of the B-vitamins, but sightly less
iron. And a bit of news for those
watching the "weight", the soybean
has a low carbohydrate count, only
about one-half the amount found in
other dry beans. One thing to- re
member, for good results prepare
according to direction.
So make note of this
can be made into hearty soups and
appetizing main dishes and when
combined with milk or cheese make
dishes that measure up in food
value and appetite appeal

BUT ELECTRICITY kept on going down in price. In
1943, we received an average of only 2.03 cents
a kilowatt-hour for residential service the low
est in our history.

19 LESS THAN 1940. That is how our 1943 aver
age household rate compared with the pre-war
figure. While other prices were going up, the
price of electricity went down!
44 LESS than the national average! Our average
household rate is just about half the U.S. na
tional average. PP&L has been in the front ranks
of the low-rate parade for years.
OUR TAXES IN 1943 reached an all-time high of
$1,313,000. We paid back to the public, in the
form of taxes, almost as much as was paid to
all the men and women who have invested their
money in the development of this business.
THIS $1,313,000 tax bill was more than one-third
greater than we were called upon to pay in 1940 1
which makes the 19 drop in the average price
of electricity all the more significant.
We're proud of the fact that in 1943 PP&L met fully the electric
service needs of our 91,365 customers in the two great states
of Washington and Oregon.
We're proud of the 743 men and women of the PP&L organiza
tion who managed to keep your electric service running smooth
ly and dependably throughout 1943 in spite of wartime problems.
We're proud of the 112 PP&L men and women who are away
in the service of their country and we pledge ourselves to keep
right on working and fighting to preserve for them at home the
freedom and opportunity they are fighting for overseas.
Pacific
U NCLE SAM GOT $726,000, or more than 55 , of
these taxes. This money, along with the Federal
taxes paid by you and your neighbors, goes to
help meet the urgent needs of a nation at war.
17'4 CENTS out of every dollar we take in now
goes for taxes yet we're selling electricity at
the lowest price in the 33 years we've been build
ing up this business enterprise. PP&L's low rates
were not achieved at public expense!
