D. Hill, farm crops head at O. S. C, who visited the laboratory recently as advisory member of the Oregon Wheat commission. Other commission representa tives who inspected the work were William Enschede. Hiils boro; Millard Eakin, Grass Val ley, and Richard Baum. Pendle ton. One fundamental research pro ject underway at Albany is aim ed at finding a method of chem ical analysis of wheat protein to show why one variety is better suited for a specific purpose than another. A second of the four regional laboratories at Peoria, 111., is using a number of north west wheats in starch utilization studies, Dr. Hill reports. MODERN OSC DORMITORY ACCEPTED BY OFFICIALS Oregon State College Final acceptance of the new women's dormitory-, Beatrice Walton Sack ett hall, has been announced by the building committee of the state board of higher education which inspected the structure here recently. The new hall, occupied last fall in advance of completion of all details, is three-story brick con struction and consists of four un its each with a separately organ ized living room. The hall filled to normal capacity houses 312 girls. Each unit has its own dining room; social and recreation rooms, though all are served from a central kitchen, thus re taining the efficiency of large scale food preparation with the advantages of smaller unit living groups. For each 16 girls there is pro vided a laundry center and kit chenette facilities. Dr. R. E. Klein sorge, chairman of the building committee, praised the new hall as well designed and constructed according to the latest ideas for halls of residence. Financing of the building is by a bond issue backed by dormi tory receipts.

Joe Marsh Television on the Farm America's Most Popular Electric Roaster GONTY'S Back Childs' home has become mighty popular ever since he got that television set one of the few sets in our town, outside of Andy's Garden Tavern. Not only do the kids stay home nights, but the neighbors drop in to see hatever's being telecast. And Buck and the missus always make them welcome, with a mellow glass of beer or ale (with cider and cookies for the youngsters). While I guess everyone admits that television still has far to go, it's sot hard to see that it will some day be as much a part of American home and farm life as the temper ate glass of beer that Buck serves, and the hospitality that goes with it. And from where I sit, anything that adds to gracious living in America brings folks together for temperate, quiet entertainment is a boon to this home-loving land of ours. (We're thinking of buying a television set ourselves!)

Tht Pacific Northwest has been growing faster than big new generating plants can be built Power demands now equal the full ca pacity of all plants in the Northwest Power Pool, and will exceed capacity of the Pool during the winter season ahead unless every one cooperates to save electricity over the daily peak hours of use. Q. What are the "peak" hours of power use? A. At this season, the greatest demand for power occurs between 4:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., because it is getting dark earlier every day, and lights are being turned on everywhere while stores, offices and factories are still operating. Q. Do I need to consort at times other than these peak hours? A. No. You can still use whatever electricity you need before 4:30 p.m. and after 6:30 p.m. Q. How can I as a housewife help save power dur ing peak periods? A. By reducing electric heating to an absolute minimum between 4:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.; by planning meals which require less use of range elements or oven during peak hours; by doing all washing and ironing before 4:30 p.m. or after 6:30 p.m.; by turning off all lights not actually needed between 4:30 and 6:30 p.m. Q. How can business firms help during the critical period? A. By turning off unessential lights between 4:30 p.m. and 6:30 pjn.; by planning use of motor-driven equipment during off-peak hours, wherever possible; by limiting or eliminating display and sign lighting between 4:30 p.m. -nd 6:30 p.m.; and by making it a daily habit o watch for any other possible savings of elec- ricity during the peak period. Q. What are industrial users of electricity doing to help minimize the effects of the peak power deficiency? A. Industrial plants throughout the Pacific Northwest are cooperating in many different ways to help with this regional problem. Some are changing their working hours. Others are rescheduling their use of power-driven ma chinery. Industry is doing its full part. Q. Is the conservation program uniform throughout the Northwest? A. Yes. Every power system in the region is following the same general program, because the problem is the same everywhere. But each individual user of electricity knows best how he can do his part in the program. You m-v best be able to save electricity in one way, your neighbor in some other way. THE ESSEN TIAL THING IS TO ACCOMPLISH THE SAVING I If everyone does his bit in this voluntary program, the necessary result be accomplished without serious incor, ience to anyone. Otherwise, an overload i pile up and then only one thing can happen a general breakdown of a vital public service I Q. How important is It for me to do my part In the conservation program? A. No matter how small your own saving may appear to you, remember that there are abr t one million users of electricity in this region, and the whole success of this program depends upon EVERYONE doing his share. The per son who turns off an unneeded 100-watt lamp bulb during the peak hours is playing just as necessary a part in the conservation program as the industrial plant which arranges to run a 1000-horsepower motor at some other time than between 4:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. KEEP JOBS GOING...
