tion, Mrs. Shiffer said. The

in past years," Mrs. Shiffer
said. “‘But the national con
test also has been won by ar

Yamhill county artist will sub
mit the design of the 1973
Christmas Seal.”

1he Oldltinut,
This new power plant will supply the Northwest with 1,400,000 kilowatts of electric
power. The first unit, on the left, begins operation in September. The second unit is
scheduled to start up a year later.
Centralia power plant Progress Report:
ON SCHEDULE!
The large coal-fired power plant near Centralia, Wash
ington, is right on schedule. In September its first 700,000-
kilowatt generator will be ready to start producing electricity
needed to keep this region adequately supplied. A year
later its twin will go to work.
This huge and modern plant is a milestone. It is the
■first major plant making electricity from steam in a region
which traditionally has used hydroelectric power. It also is
the first step in a far-sighted program worked out by the
area's power producers to guarantee the Pacific Northwest
sufficient electric energy with which to live—and on which
to build. Seven other power agencies are participating with
Pacific Power & Light Company in this important under
taking.
Pacific Power
The next several months will be a "tune-up period" for
this $200,000,000 plant. We ll be checking not only the
plant's power production, but other things that are im
portant, too. Such as the massive installation of electro
static precipitators. We have to be sure they're tuned up
just right so the plant will more than meet the strict stand
ards of air quality for the area. And the closed circuit water
system. We must be sure it will avoid pollution of the
Skookumchuck River as it is designed to do. And the res
toration program for the nearby lands from which comes
the coal to fuel the plant.
After all, the Centralia plant has a bigger job than just
producing electricity essential to the region. It has to be
a good neighbor,” too!
