One of a series of twelve advertisements about the men who manage PP&L I. business in Oregon and Washington aal mue ARTHUR STUART “Art” DEMPSIE (right), District Manager at Astoria since 1929, just finished his 24th year with PP&L. Art joined the company after World War I, in which he served as Corporal in 834th Aero Squadron. Beginning job was with the old Astoria street railway system. Art next spent a year in the Portland office, then four years as manager at Seaside before returning to the Astoria district. The Dempsie family includes an adopted daughter, ...... also a nephew they reared, who now is a U. S. Army Sergeant. (Photographer found Art with PP&L plant operator Cliff Cloutts, checking 1 condenser pump bearing) rii lui: ‘ ri anse ” î Fishing, lumbering.dairying, shipping—are among the important industries served by PP&L in the Astoria district. Combined with the wheat, fruit, manufacturing and similar diversified industries of 11 other districts, PP&L is able to give every cus tomer the benefits of an efficient, rugged system that gives good service and big value, year in and year out. Because PP&L serves a complete cross-section of the great Columbia Basin, users all over the system have their electric service pro tected against local adversities, and through the years have found the benefits of business-managed system operation reflected consistently in lower and lower rates. • Being one of the twelve PP&L District Man agers isn’t the biggest job in Clatsop County. But it’s an important job to you, and to us, and it’s a lot of hard work for Art Dempsie. And it’s the same in every business-managed power company and railroad and telephone sys tem in the whole United States. You don’t just get yourself appointed to this kind of job. None of our District Managers got there by the “Amos ’n’ Andy” route. In fact the 12 PP&L dis trict managers have accumulated, altogether, 295 years of experience with this company alone! This on-the-ground experience—working up from the bottom—is one big reason why the public utility services of this country lead all other nations for efficient operation. Some of them started in. as Art did, in one of the operating departments, some of them in construction, climbing poles and handling “hot” wires—in spite of rain, wind, sunstroke-weather, and icy roads. Another big reason for PP&L’s fine service record is that expert advice and help from other districts and from the system’s headquarters staff is ready in a moment to help every district in its technical problems. Only through a fully-developed system organization are such advantages to be had. Then, after a few years of working through other departments, somebody picked them out to sit at a desk and run things in their Districts. The desk comes last —not first. The boss who does the picking came up the hard way himself. Victory Service League CHAS. HODGE. Director with it. Fred Roach came home from Wash ington where he has been tagging sheep. A new board walk has been .built in front of the Grange hall kitchen. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Ball and family are moving onto the Messenger farm next to town. Mrs. Florence- Barlow is spending two weeks with Mrs. Flossie Coats. The next H. E. C. meeting will be the second Wednesday in March with a pot luck dinner at the Margaret Thorpe home. These are big reasons, too, why 90,000 customers • of PP&L last year were able to use 570,000,000 KWH of electricity—why PP&L’s average rate for residence service is 43 % below national average. ...YOUR BUSINESS-MANAGED POWER SYSTEM POWER & LIGHT \ COMPANY /
