Dr. Mu!!er, niakir.e a lour of

Even minute exposure of such

that will accumulate and lie dor

0SDA LABORATORY MAKING
PROGRESS ON WHEAT STUDY
Research with Pacific north
west white wheat at the USDA
regional laboratory at Albany
Cal., is making progress toward
finding new uses and more effec
tive utilization of wheat from
this region, reports Dr. D. 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

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.

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!)

Why Power Conservation
between 4:30 and 6:30 P.M.
Q. Why b "peak" power conservation necessary?
A. 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.
