Power Conservation
Asked by PP&L
An appeal for conservation of
electricity to help carry the Paci
fic Northwest through a tight re-
glonal power situation was Is
sued today by J. R. Huffman,
local manager for Pacific Power
& Light Company.
"The Defense Electric Power
Administration already has order
ed a cut in the power consumed
by major users, such as fac
tories and industries " he said
"That means production and jobs
and pay checks are being cut
Every saving you can make in
your use of electricity will help
keep these jobs going.
"The long dry fall has resulted
in dangerously low water condi
tions throughout the whole area
The Columbia river is flowing at
an extremely low rate, as are the
rivers feeding practically all the
Northwest power dams. This has
seriously cut down the electrical
supplies of the Northwest Power
Pool, which serves the needs of
the whole area.
"We need the help of everyone
in avoiding any waste of elec
tricity. Power saving is needed all
day and every day, all around the
clock, to meet our problem."
The present tight power prob
lem affects the whole area, in
eluding all of Washington, most
of Oregon and northern Idaho.
The federal order applies
throughout the whole area. All
electric utilities served by the
Power Pool in this area are sub
ject to the terms of the order and
are cooperating in the drive to
save electricity

bv Huffman,
In addition to
Pacific Power,
utilities in this area named by
