Power Co.
H|onored For
Good Work

The Charles A. Coffin Foundation
whose purpose it Is to encourage
and reward distinguished achieve
ment in the electrical field by rec
ignition to lighting and power COM
panies for Improvement in service
to the public, has recently through
its representative, Mr.. A. S. Moo
dy, Northwest Manager of the Gen.
.eral Electric Company presented to
Mr. z. E. Merrill, president of the
Mountain States Power Company,
the Foundations certificate of its
citation granted in appreciation OF
an unparalleled record of service
to the nation in time of the greatest
need.
Quotation from the citation:
Faced with unprecedented de-
mand, the Electric Light and Power
Industry has met every war-produc-
ton requirement without delay and
without impairment Of its peace
time services to the public. This
achievement merits the appreciation
not only Of American industry but
of the entire nation"
Mr.. Moody stated, this Citation
is richly merited-for here is
branch Of industry that has done
remarkable war job that has not
been generally recognized.
If electric power should fail, or
if it be too little or too late, the
disastrous effects would startle all
America Vital machines would be
motionless Millions of homes would
be cold-and an eerie blackout
would descend over the land.
But, electricity has not failed.
Rather, in 1943 twice as much pow
er was produced as in the year be-
fore the WARMTH the minimum of
new facilities and despite large loss
es Of skilled employees to the Armed
Services.
In the words of ]. A. Krug, Di-
rector of War Utilities of w. P. B.
Power men-public and private
should be proud Of the job that has
been done in providing power sup
ply. Power has never been too lit
tie or too late"
We Of General Electric, who have
built a large part of the electric
equipment which generates, dis
tributes, and uses the electric pew
er of America, take pride in the
way this equipment is standing up
under the strain of Forced draft"
wartime operation.
Many OF the men and women re-
sponsihle for this remarkable rec
ord are your neighbors-the man
ager or meter reader who lives
across the street, the girl IN the ac-
counting department who is in your
bridge club, the lineman with whom
you bowled last night A word OF
appreciation from you to them will
lend added significance to this well
deserved citation.
Mr.. Merrill in receiving this ci-
tation on benalf of the Mountain
States Power Company and its en-
ployees, said that he knew he could
speak for everyone of the company
and express their greatest thanks
to the Charles A. Coffin Foundation
for this special citation. And said
further that we of the Company
do not feel that we have done any
thing but what we should have done
for our fellow Americans and for
the things they are fighting for.
We shall continue to recognize the
importance of carrying on our part
of the war effort to aid the men
at the fighting front and for those
on the home front.

President Views
Watersheds

WASHINGTON. Nov. Is. CUP)-
President Roosevelt Tuesday advo-
Gated division of the country into
seven major watershed areas for
development along the general pat
tern of the Tennessee Valley author
ity.
These authorities, he said in talk
ing Speculatively t. a news confer
ence about the projected Missouri
valley authority, would center ar
ound a basic stream in each indi-
vidual watershed.
He said water control could be
only a minor part of the operation.
This indicated that power genera
ton, to his mind. should be an
important factor in each of the
areas. There would be six new areas,
the IVA being the seventh.
The President put forth no def
mite plan.
He did not list the seven, but in
the discussion mentioned the IVA,
the Missouri Valley, the Arkansas
river the Columbia river, the Mis-
slssirpi itself, the Cumberland river
and the major streams such as the
Tombigbee feeCing into the Gulf
of Mexico.
