Albert Carlsen, addressing the company’s 1973 marketing conference here last week, said additional shares of common »lock and mortgage bonds must be sold to finance new service facilities required to supply in creasing customer demands.

Williamson, was recently se lected as Nyssa High School’s Homemaker of Tomorrow for 1963. This competition is held an nually as Betty Crocker sear ches for the "American Home maker of Tomorrow.” After attending the baskel- ball game and dance in Ontario Saturday night, Oswald Forbes, Norvelle Leuck and Lawrence Fisher looked for the Forbes’ car in vain. It had vanished from the street where they had parked it. Officers assisted them in the midnight search but to no avail. Sunday night officers found the car parked near the rail road coal chute in Ontario. It had not been harmed except that a new battery hadbeen removed and a bursted one had been left in its place. • * • It was cold enough at West fall yesterday to freeze Art Shaw’s whiskers to his blanket. In fact, he found himself pinned fast by his long chin beard when he awakened in his tent at the ranch home of George Toombs. It took only a yank and one warm breath to release him from an icy hold but he says that was the first time he was held fast by his whiskers. 20 YEARS AGO 50 YEARS AGO Letters received last week by E. L. Jamison from U. S. Senator Guy Condon and U. S. Representative Sam Coon sta- ted that $50,000 is Mag al lotted for clearing and straigh tening of the Owyhee River at several locations along the lower eight miles of the stream. This will be of benefit in reducing flooding, if properly maintained. • * • Nyssa and vicinity are put ting forth extra efforts in the final week of the March of Dimes fund raising campaign to meet their shareofthe$25,OOOcounty quota for the National Founda tion for Infantile Paralysis. Like many tributaries to a large stream, funds liave come tric kling in from many organiza tions, business houses and pri vate individuals. 30 YEARS AGO A large crowd, including many persons from neighbor ing churches attended the dedi cation services held tn the Na- zarene Church Sunday after noon. The Rev. Vern Martin, local pastor, read a brief history of the local church and told how God had helped the mem bers accomplish the task they started to do July 11, 1937 when the church was organized with 16 charter members. When the first church at Sixth and Main Streets became too small to accommodate the gro wing Sunday school, the church purchased lots on Fifth Street and Good Avenue and built the new church building which was finished during 1942. • • ♦ If only operating costs are considered, the Owyhee Ditch Company stockholders paid only 60 cents per acre for irrigation water during 1942. It is doubt ful whether or not any water user anywhere had cheaper water. • * * The Oregon Shipbuilding cor poration recently launched its 125th ship, the William G. Duane, christened by Mrs. Ray E. Kendler, wife of the yards paymaster, and former Nyssa resident, according to infor mation received from Portland. Journal Classifieds Bring Results!

Answering the question of where the costs of all types of energy are headed, Carlsen re plied "Up." But Carlsen added that he be lieves the cost of electricity generated from low-sulphur Wyoming coal will rise less rapidly than that ot other energy forms that are in increasingly short supply. The "real problem” in the industry, according to Carlsen, '•Is getting timely and sufficient rate relief to maintain its fi nancial integrity.” He added that in the Interest of its customers and share owners, Idaho Power has an "obligation” to continue pro viding electric energy at rates below the national average. Idaho Power’s average resi dential rate per kilowatt-hour is 75.27c of the national average. Other speakers included R. J. O'Connor, Idaho Power vice- president, administration; R. F. Klumpp, vice-president, fi nance; J. E. Bruce, vice-presi dent and general counsel; and G. J. Hall, vice-president, po wer operations and engineering. O’Connor, declaring that “we are face-to-face with a national energy crisis,” said Idaho Po wer's marketing and advertis ing in 1973 will stress the "wise” use of electricity. Idaho Power long has recom mended "above standard” in sulation for electirc-heat installations, O’Connor said, and now is advising its cus tomers to conserve energy by such means as preventing wa ter-faucet leaks. Klumpp said Idaho Power must maintain its "high stan ding” in the financial commu nity in order to continue mar keting its securities at favo rable rates for the ultimate be nefit of its customers and sha reowners.
