PP&L Announces More Construction Plans for District Pacific Power & Light Com pany announced last week its 1959 construction program will require a record one-year in vestment of capital funds for new transmission lines, distri bution circuits and substations needed to serve the growing pow er requirements of its customers. "The year's budget -of $23,500, j 000 for the work represents a new I high level of normal construc tion of customer-service facili ties," it was reported by PP&L's local district manager, Eldon Drennan. The amount budgeted for the local district is $581,000. He said Pacific Power expects to invest a record $100,000,000 in similar transmission and distri bution facilities during the next I five years in order to maintain j modern electric service stan dards for homes, iarms ana lac tones throughout its system. The company's capital expen ditures since 1949, including the completion of generating plants capable of producing 611,000 kil owatts of electricity, totals $269, 000,000, he said. New power plants completed late in 1958 alone more than doubled PP&L's generating capicity, the district manager reported. During 1959 PP&L plans to build 94 miles of transmission line of 66,000-volt or greater ca pacity and to increase transmiss ion substation capacities by 340, 000 kilovolt amperes necessary to deliver new power supplies to PP&L load centers.

More than 250 miles of distri bution circuits and distribution substations adding a total of 99, 250 kilovolt amperes of service capacity will be built.

ROCK HOUND'S CORNER By BETTY WAGNER In the fall of '55 before there was a rock club In Morrow coun ty, some friends went on a rock hunt in the Opal Butte district. After spending a day hiking up and down the hills and climbing over stumps, digging for thunder eggs (one family didn't even know what a thunder egg looked like), finding promising mater ial and hreaking rocks open with a rock hammer, the bug had bit tenthe families were taking) the first step towards becoming rock hounds. Most of the rocks gathered on that fateful fall day of '55 were later thrown out in the driveway as there didn't seem to be any thing of value or particular beau ty in them. About that time the rock club was organized and one of these families joined It. With a little more knowledge of rocks, gem stones, and semi-precious stones the whole family became very rock conscious even the little three year old girl began collecting "pretty gravel" and the driveway almost moved into the house. One day the girl brought her mother a stone which, in the sun, looked like glass with fire in it. It was one of the stones the mother had thrown out earlier, but now, thanks to knowledge gained at the rock club, she recognized the stone as a fire opal from Opal Butte! You can be sure now that no stones are thrown out until positively identified or examined to determine if there is any hid den beauty. Perhaps you have some rocks in your nome mar. have never been identified. Don't ihrnw them awav. Come and bring them to the rock club that's one of the ways we learn. Have you ever heard of "brag ging rocks" we all have them! On Saturday night, Feb 21, the rock club met in the Hotel annex and after a short discussion, en joyed the beautiful Walt Disney film, "A World is Born" plus a very educational film on carbor undum wheel grinding. It's just about that time of the year when we get spring fever and rock fever, so soon we'll be off to the hills with our rock picks, shovels, and sack lunches and what fun it will be to get to gether later at our meetings on the third Saturday night of each month in the Hotel Annex and show with pride the "re sults" of our hikes, especially after some of those "results" have been applied to a rock saw and carborundum wheel. local News In Brief Mr and Mrs Ben Anderson and Mr and Mrs Leonard Rill return ed Saturday evening from their trip to Arizona.
