PAGE r e THURSDAY, MARCH 17. 1938. THE HERMISTON HERALD. HERMISTON. OREGON. i CARL C. DONAUGH Carl C. D onaugh, federal d istric t atto rn e y for Oreijon, Monday for m ally entered the lists for the U ni ted S tates S enate when he filed his d eclaration of candidacy w ith Sec re ta ry of S tate E arl Snell. D onaugh th u s became th e first officially to en te r th e race for the D em ocratic nom ination for th e senate subject to the May prim ary. D onaugh announced he would run on a slogan of "F o r Roosevelt; wide d istrib u tio n Bonneville pow er; W illam ette V alley project; stab iliz ing labor conditions." WHENTHEHIGH LINE COMES By F ra n k J. G. Duck, S ecretary R ural E lectrificatio n Bureau almoet any o th e r piece of farm equipm ent, you buy a com plete and self-contained u n it th a t is ready to operate a t the touch of a sta rte r, th e tu g of a horse or a tu rn of the hand. But electricity doesn’t come in a single package. And th ere Is much more to its proper use th a n ju st the flip of a sw itch. Like w ater flow ing in a pipe, electricity Is a force w hich ru n s th ro u g h a series of w ires to the points w here it is used. If pipes are too sm all, the flow of w ater will be g rea tly decreased (even en tirely stopped) a t some points if too m any o u tle ts are opened a t once. In the same way, if wires are not su ffic ie n t ly large, the lim ited am ount of elec tric ity th a t can pass th ro u g h them will re su lt in dimmed lig h ts and generally u n satisfacto ry service w hen several appliances a re used a t the same tim e. How can an am ple supply of elec tric ity be assured a t all points a t all tim es? By good w iring, carefu lly planned—in o th e r words, by ade qu ately w iring your farm home and buildings. Simply expressed, ade q u ate w iring m eans: A service en tra n ce of correct size (cap acity ). Enough circuits, each w ith th e correct w ire size. Special heavy-duty circu its and outlets for range, w ater h eater and large motors. S ufficient o u tlets and sw itches, conveniently placed. If these are provided, and good appliances are used, your electric service will be safe, dependable, ec onom ical and a source of co n stan t .satisfaction. But, you may say, all I w an t rig h t now are lights, a radio and an elec tric iron. I can ’t afford to com plete ly electrify my farm a t one tim e. I’ll have to w ait u n til la te r to buy a refrig erato r, an au to m atic w ater system and m uch o th er equipm ent I w ju t and need. Why, then, should I install such an elab o rate w iring sys tem now? W hy can ’t I put in a cheaper one and add to it as I buy more appliances? hi the first place, adequate w iring \s not elabor te. It Includes no extra, 'a cy nr special “g ad g ets’’. Instead, it Is only the m inim um necessary to 'lie successful electrificatio n of your farm. PART I Every day. for the first time, more th an 500 farm s in various parts of th is country receive electrical service thro u g h the extension or erection of power lines by the public u tilities or through funds provided by the R ural E lectrification A dm inistra tion. W ill it prove to he a stsady, re liable and in dustrious hired hand w orth much more th an its small cost? Or will it tu rn out to be a f it ful, undependable and sluggish ser v an t whose work is needlessly ex pensive? In the final analysis, the St condly, it is im possible- except answ er will depend upon one tilin g — ’ ''a I ivel.c hi' I k ■ cost- -to am p lify the m anner in which your farm >r c h a n g e o w irin g system , once it home and buildings are wired. is in s ta lle d . W irin g is n o t a b ra c e le t W h en you p u rc h a s e an a u to m o bile, ’ tr a c to r , a plow, a li'n d c r or to th is or th a t room or building, b u t th e basis circ u its are as fixed and rigid as the w alls of y o u r home. It is ju st as foolish, false an d expensive a saving to cut down on your in itia l w iring Job as it would be to build a house w ith o u t w indow s to avoid paying for w indowpanes. T herefore, for th e sake of com fo rt. convenience, safety and econ omy, plan and in stall your w iring system to meet your fu tu re as well as present needs. Such * in su ran ce will inevitably pay big dividends in tim e, labor and money saved, and these will more th an offset the slig h tly g re a te r in itia l cost. All rig h t, you say, I ’m convinced of th e im portance, ad v an tag es and savings of ad equate w iring. B ut how can I m ake ce rtain I w ill g et ade q u ate w iring? I’m not an electrician and scarcely know th e difference be tw een a volt and an am pere. Isn ’t it necessary for me to be fam iliar w ith the various types of w ire, cable, con duit, o u tlets and ev ery th in g else th a t goes to m ake up th e com pleted In stalla tio n ? Not if you employ a com petent and reliable electrical co n tracto r thoroughly experienced in farm w ir ing. Then it is only necessary for you to tell him w hat you w ant as defin itely as you can. Be su re to in clude all your probable fu tu re needs, and give careful consid eratio n to any suggestions he may m ake for im proving your service. If posible, it is well to obtain two or th ree esti m ates on the cost of th e com plete job provided all the co n tracto rs a re equally dependable and all bids g u aranteed the same q u ality of m a terials and w orkm anship.
