HERMISTON HERALD — OnEdOONEMseBrEE POBLIsHEgs AssocJATLom . STANFIELD NEWS Whiskey has been rationed to two quarts a week. What effect that will have on the average drinker is questionable, but it may save a few meal tickets and reduce traffic and municipal violations. If the ration were as short as fuel oil. there would be fewer workers “broke”. With wages at 160 and living still at 120, and with rents for the large major ity low, it is somewhat a mystery why so many men are without funds except on pay day. There are many problems these days but the word THRIFT is still in the dictionary. It is still possible to make ends meet, and unless a lot of people begin to consider some of the economic virtues, we will have a very large army of reliefers when the war ends.

Native of Washington (educated : t W.S.C. ), Rod has been with PP&L for 23 years. First worked as lineman at Yakima, then moved up as electrical superintendent and manager through five PP&L districts before taking charge at Hood River. Present district includes both the Hood River Valley and the White Salmon and Goldendale area across the river. Active in civic affairs, his present responsibilities includ • chairmanship of Utilities Division, Civilian Defense Council. Two years in the army in World War I, Rod pent 10 months in France, winding up in command of Company H, 56th Engineers. Pass.

But, in - recent years particularly, there has been a definite trend toward more diversified farming. 1 oday, PP&L electricity is busy hatching chicks and milking cows, as well as packing and processing fruit. Diversification of agricultural products is giving the area greater economic stability—just as the much more widely diversified activities of all 12 PP&L operating districts make for a strong, dependable electric system. Because PP&L serves a complete cross-section of the great Columbia Basin, users all over the system have their electric service protected against local adversities, and through the years have found the benefits of business-managed system opera- (ion consistently reflected in lower and lower rates. • Ordinarily, you may never have occasion to think of the PP&L organization as going beyond the pleasant girl who gives you your change, the service man who helps you out of trouble, the lineman you see working on a pole-top, or the District Manager whose responsibility it is to keep your service running smoothly Yet, the fact is that you are actually being served by the whole family of districts. In Hood River, for example, Rod McRae knows that he can pick up his telephone and reach any one or all of the 815 men and women who make up the PP&L organization. Expert assistance from other districts and from the system's headquarters staff is immediately available to help solve his techni cal problems, or to meet emergencies. Whatever the problem, he knows he can have exactly the right specialists on the ground in a few hours. Or, he can call in as much equipment as he needs—without having to buy it for one job in his district and then support it through idle months. To you, these advantages of system operation mean better and better electric service. What’s more, these are big reasons why PP&L can shoulder a tax load of more than $1,150,000 a . year, and at the same time supply residential elec tric service at rates 43% below national average!
