The chart above shows the 1970 gap between loan applications of the rural electric systems and the budget being con sidered by Congress for capital to be loan ed by the Rural Electrification Adminis tration. Applications pending and to be filed in fiscal 1970 by rural electric co-ops in Oregon total more than $8 million, ac cording to the national association. To meet their capital crisis, the co-ops are urging Congress to provide the full amount of loan funds called for in the federal budget for 1970, and planning to borrow private funds in future years through their own non-government credit institution.

Mrs. Bill Weatherford, and he is staying with the Weather fords to help repair damage suf- I fered in the June flood. I And he brought his bicycle i along with him. Peake, 16, a junior at Port land's Benson High school, last year won the state intermedi ate championships for road rac ing. But his trip to Heppner came at the same time as this year's finals. His intermediate champion ship came just two years after he began competition in bike racing, and that started as a result of his brother's interest in racing. Peake ioned the Rose City Wheelmen, a Portland group, and in his first race, placed third. He started racing with an American 10-speed bike, but has since bought an English 10 speed and, more recently, an It alian 10-speed. But those bikes are his road racing bikes he has another for track racing. It's just a one-gear bike. Peake doesn't just race; he travels on his bike as well, al though he hauled here to Hepp ner. The club travels all over the Northwest. Peake has been to Crater Lake and to Seattle. When he travels, though, the load is light. On the two-week trip to Crater Lake and beyond, he carried a set of clothes, a few personal items, tools to re pair the bike, a sleeping bag and a plastic tarp. Peake is on the track racing from January to September. The winter races are called roller races, as bikes are stationary on rollers. How fast the wheel turns determines the winner. The outdoor season begins March 1. In Portland, most road races are held on Sauvies Island. There two types ot road racing, according to Peake, "criterium racing" on a closed circuit, and racing from one point to an other. Track racing can be indoor or outdoor. In Portland, the track, located at Alpenrose dairy, is outdoors. The young bicyclist brought his bike to Heppner with him, but he hasn t done much rid ing, he says.
