STATE FUNCTIONS RESTORED
The untying of federal strings on
state activities the past,' week has
eased progress in manyj state de
partments. Momentum 'was given
this procedure by President Tru
man's agreement with the executive
committee of the national govern
ors' conference when they called at
the White House ten days ago with
a proposal that employment serviced
be returned to the states.
The unemployment services of the
48 states were consolidated into the
United States employment service
in Jan. 1942, as a wartime measure.
WORLD WAR II VETERANS' AID
On Oct. 1 the state department
of veterans' affairs will be ready to
accept applications for loans from
veterans of World War II who have
at least 90 days service and are
honorably discharged, Director
Hugh Rossarf has just announced.
The loans are for purchasing homes
or farms on a 20-year payment plan
at 4 percent interest. Loans will be
held at $3000 and will be made on
75 percent of the assessed valuation.
Applicants must have been resi
dents of Oregon at the time of
their enlistment and when they
apply for a loan. Servicemen as
signed to the Specialized Training
program are eligible. The sate de
partment of veterans' affairs has
called for bids on $1,000,000 in
bonds to finance this department.
Bids must represent 95 percent or
more of the face value of the
bonds.

Several Orggon cities including
"Portland, Salem, Eugene and West
Salem have been assured by the
state highway commission that they
will be extended full cooperation
in planning arterial highways con
nected to the different cities. No
agreement has been made as to
when any of the work will start
but coordination of effort is as-

The highway commission has
auhorized the purchase of a series
of wayside strips on the Pacific

Oregon coast highway between
Waldport and Yachats; 635 acres
on The Dalles California highway
between Bend and Redmond, to
preserve juniper trees and 80 acres

close of the war, Secretary of State
Robert S. Farrell Jr. states. Traffic

way department counted 36,978 ve
hicles during the week ending Aug.
18 compared with only 29,331 the

o you realize how littl" it costs to add to your present elec
trical comforts and con, niences with PP&L's new low rates
for homes and farms?
Look at the d'agram above. You'll see that your new low rate
drops to only iy2 cents a kilowatt-hour as soon as you have used
125 kilowatt-hours in any month.
In other words, if you already use 125 KWH a month, you can
: --."ase your use by 100 KWH, for example, at an aduitieaal
:.'' c-Ay $1.50.
Then when you get up to 250 KWH a month, your rate drops
sharply down to only 610 ths of a cent a kilowatt-hour. You can
buy 600 KWH at this big-value, quantity discount price! And if
your requirements call for more than a total of 850 KWH a
month the added kilowatt-hours cost you the very modest amount
of 1 cent per KWH.
With such an attractive rate available, it is wise home man
agement to start planning now for the new electrical appliance!
