)
Four members of the old board of
directors of the Umatilla Electric
Cooperative association were re
elected at the first annual meeting
of the members of the association
here yesterday. They are E. D. Mar
tin, J. H. Reid, H. J. Bean and R.
G. Saylor. The first member chosen
•was A. C. Houghton of Irrigon. Im
mediately after the election the new
directors met and elected Martin
president and Reid, re-elected scre-
tary.
R. G. Penney, who had served as
the board’s president the past year
and a half, was not eligible for re-
election since he is not a user on
the system. His ranch at Stanfield,
with a group of others, is served by
the Hermiston Light & Power com
pany.
Twenty-two members voted at the
meeting and 20 mailed in ballots.
Several other nominations
were
made for director but the voters
chose to retain the members who
have had experience.
A temporary platform had been
provided on the steps of the Recla
mation building and chairs placed
on the lawn. The Mor-Tone Sound
Service of Hermiston provided a
loud speaking system and the Her
miston Light & Power Co., put in
extensions for the electric appliance
demonstrations. Exhibits were placed
on the grounds by the Oregon Ex
tension Service, the Tum-A-Lum
Lumber Co., Oregon Hardware &
Implement Service and the Mor-
Tone Sound Service. Everett H. Da
vis had charge of the extension ex
hibits. The Tum-A-Lum gave an
electric toaster which was present
ed to Mrs. W. H. Parry of Stanfield.
The principal speakers were Rich
ard A. Dell, of the Utilization Divi
sion of the national REA, who dis
cussed utilization of electricity on
the farm, and Congressman Walter
M. Pierce, who discussed his efforts
in Washington to secure the dollar
minimum price for users on this
project, which made it one of the
lowest in the nation. Pierce also de
clared that there was no doubt that
the Umatilla rapids dam would be
commenced in the near future.
W. A. Sawyer, former assistant
county agent, now county agent at
Burns, Ore., described the first ef
forts to secure the endorsement of
REA for this project. H. R. New
port of the contracting firm, spoke
on the work that had been accom
plished. Jay T. Pierson, assistant
county agent, described the benefits
from electricity on the farm.
J. H. Reid, secretary, read the
minutes of the early meetings for
the formation of the association,
leading to the adoption of the by
laws providing for the annual meet
ing of the cooperative members. He
also discussed the peak load ques
tion.
Clarence Kennison, manager-line
man, described some of the hazards
in using electricity and the desire
of the directors to give the best ser
vice. E. P. Dodd, right-of-way man,
described a plan to extend the lines
to all users within range of the
present system, for which funds
may now be secured.
