Spring Festival Colorful Pageant Standing room only signs could well have been hung out at the high school gymnasium Friday eve ning when interested school pat rons assembled to enjoy the annual spring festival. Children and teach ers had worked faithfully for weeks to bring the production up to par. The band, choruses, dancers and a few grade schoolers with speak ing parts put the. fairy story "Over the Rainbow" across. Bobby Jones was the umbrella' man, Rieta Graves and Marion Green were school children who wished to be in fairy land. Their wish was granted and there they saw many strange sights. Ferdinand the bull enjoyed the enchanted land and frisked about in a light hearted manner. Supporting cast for Ferdy was Gerald Bergstrom and Carl Thorpe. Industious little Mrs. Whistler was so busy fortify ing herself against a severe winter she had little time to enjoy her pleasant surroundings. Nancy Ad ams was this frugal little squirrel. Many active sprites and elves, so attractively costumed pleased the audience and the bunny rabbits were a joy. The stage decorations were lav ish and presented an attractive pic ture. Much time, thought and en ergy had been spent upon this de tail and added very much to the success of the production. Mrs. Ev eret Smith and the upper grade art classes were responsible for the crepe paper rainbow and other stage properties. The various musical contribu tions, for the most part, of a popu lar nature, were offered by Everett Smith, upper grade chorus and band; primary chorus, Mrs. Ro mine and high school girls chorus Miss Hoosier. Mrs. Romine and Miss Hoosier were accompanists while Miss Hajenga, Mrs. Romine and Mrs. Smith directed the dances. o FRANK-XAMBLYN Mr. and Mrs. Harry Tamblyn are this week announcing the marriage of their daughter, Margaret, to Sgt.

Paciiic electricity Light has made st servant" says William B. Cone of Bend, Oregon ."It was an important step forward for the people who live in central Oregon when Pacific Power & Light came here. We need PP&L's resources, technical knowledge and experience to get the right kind of elec tric , service, so essential to growing areas like this. "PP&L has increased our power re sources, improved our electric service and brought down the price of electricity. A good electric service company never stands still it's always growing' and improving and that's what I particularly like about PP&L. Those fellows are always out in front with the latest in electrical progress. "We've gokjust about everything elec trical in our home, and PP&L has made electricity our cheapest servant." 55 YEARS OF E 1910 Mazda lamp re places carbon bulb, giving more light per , kwh.

Cone, electrical supervisor of the Shevlin Hixon pine mills of Bend, Oregon, came west from Minnesota in 1910 and started to work for the Allis Chalmers Company in the electrification of lumber plants in the Pacific Northwest. During the ensuing years, while following the practical work, Mr. Cone also continued his studies of the technical end of electrical engineering. In 1915 he came to Bend to work on the electrification, of the Shevlin-Hixon mill, continued to work there as an electricia'n, and in 1917 was appointed electrical super visor. Mr. Cone is responsible for the maintenance and operation of 750 electric motors, ranging in size from J4 h.p. to the big 250 h.p. motors that operate the band saws in the mill. He also has charge of more than a hundred miles of electrical circuits supplying lighting and signal control and fire alarm systems. Ingenious and inventive, Mr. Cone has designed and put into operation three separate electric services for the Shevlin mill, and has at times designed electrical mill equipment ahead of manufacturers. One of his latest inventions is an electrically-driven bicycle, powered by an auto storage battery and an electric starter from a car a device used to get him through the 1 miles of mill yard with no waste of time.
