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.

PP&L districts before taking charge at Hood River. Present district includes both

Wondrously fine fruit macle Hood River famous—and electric power is used all along the line, "
from the time of the first spraying until the last box is loaded safely aboard the cars. 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!
