Demand for electric power from rural
electric co-ops is growing about 100 per
cent every seven years, according to the
National Rural Electric Cooperative Asso
ciation, and the co-ops do not have enough
capital available to meet the demand for
service.
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.
