REVENUES EXCEED E FOR Horvath, Ail-American star from Ohio State University, will LI 50 To the Editor Will you please . print this item, taken from the Grange Bulletin, in vour paper: Gertrude Stanley, Eagle Point, Ore. Gross revenues from the sale of power developed at the Bonne ville and Grand Coulee power plants passed the $50,000,000 mark on December 1, 1944, the fifth anniversary of the energiza tion of the first Bonneville high voltage transmission line, Bonne ville Power Administrator Paul 3. Raver announced Dec. 9. This revenue was derived from the sale of more than 21,- 000,000.000 kilowat hours of power to Pacific northwest war industries, military establish ments. . Dublic agencies and nrivate utility systems. Durinz its first five years of system operation, the Bonneville power administration accumu lated a net surplus in excess of $12,000,000 after payment of an power costs, operation ana main tenance expenses, depreciation and interest on the federal in vestment in. the Bonneville Grand Coulee transmission grid and power facilities at the two Columbia river plants. In the five years since Decem ber 1, 1939, when the first trans mission line was energized from Bonneville dam to the Portland Vancouver area, the Bonneville power administration has ex tended the federal transmission system to include 55 substations and more than 2,700 miles of high-voltage transmission lines. Approximately 19,000,000,000 kilowatt-hours have been sold since the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. During the three years that the United States has been at war, rated capacity of the two Columbia river power plants has been increased from 839,000 kilowatts to 1,326,000 kilowatts approximately 50 per cent of the entire present capa city of the five northwest states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana and Utah.

"The cause is Incomplete su pervision of the milk supply which is due to the fact that smaller communities feel they can not afford.to paymore than $200 a year for the duties of a health- officer," .the Journal states. Most of America's smaller communities need better milk inspection to safeguard the .pub lic health and the Journal sug gests that these cities group themselves together to form "sanitary communities' with one veterinarian doing the inspection-work for all of them including checking dairy herds, inspecting dairy barns and equipment and supervising san itation in pasteurizing plants and distribution systems. - From Pear) Harbor to Jan. 1, 1944, industrial accidents killed 37,600, or 7,500 more than the military dead, according to the war production board. . .

Klrby, Jr.. has arrived in Medford to spend a 15-day furlough with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John W. Kirby, 145 North Ivy street. He has just rer turned from a tour of duty in the Pacific fighting areas as a mem ber of a bomber group, signal section, 5th air force. He saw active service in New Guinea, Biak islands, Netherlands East Indies, and climaxed his service as a member of the Philippine invasion forces under Gen. Doug las MacArthur. He participated In reconstruc tion of the large air field at Ta cloban most of the work being done under frequent strafing and bombing by Japanese flyers. He later witnessed the abortive landing of Japanese paratroop ers on Leyte island, but states that our forces made quick work in wiping out those adventurers. He says the Japs are tough fight ers and should not be under rated. Cpl. Kirby made the entire trip back in an army transport plane and enjoys the distinction of eating two Christmas dinners with all of the trimmings, on two Christmas days in the same year. His first dinner was at Biak island and the second on board the plane just east of the international date line, which by reason of the 24-hour time change set him back to Christ mas day again. Prior to his enlistment In the air corps signal section in Octo ber, 1942, Cpl. Kirby was wire chief at the Camp White tele phone exchange of the Columbia Utilities company. He wears the Pacific East Asia service ribbbn with three bronze stars. Playing all this week through Saturday night at the Craterian is BIng Crosby In "Going My Way," with Rise Stevens. Roger L.
