|Iri-County Coop Adopts
REA Area Service Plan

The Tri-County Electric Co
operative, Leesburg, Va, has
adopted the Rural Electrification
Administrators area service plan
Of providing rural Line extensions on
a So monthly guarantee, the board
Of directors announced yesterday.
TIE plan will afford substantial
saving to farmers in the Coop
erative's area not now receiving
service, the directors said. These
savings are made possible by
reduction in the interest rate on
funds borrowed by the cooperative
to construct lines.
The cooperative formerly oper-
ated under such plan, but found
that interests rates on It's original
loans and repayment terms were
such that monthly guarantees in
excess of SO were required. The CO.
operatives adoption of this plan
will make electric service available
to every farm in Loudoun County
and adjoining portions of Clarke,
Fauquier, Fairfax and Prince VIII
liam Counties.
The cooperative serves more than
500 farm families with system Of
about 280 miles of lines.

Jump in Ration Value
OF LoW-pficed Meats
Is Planned BY 0pA
By MALCOLM LAMBORNE, Jr.

|
Low-point value meats will cost
more points when the new ration
period begins March S under a plan
being drawn up by the Once Of
Price Administration to bring about
better distribution OF dwindling
meat supplies available to civilians,
1T was learned today.
The rise in point values of such
beef cuts as short ribs and shank,
now costing one point pound, and
boneless brisket and boneless plate,
worth two points. would be partially
compensated for by lowering Of
point values for the better grades
of beef.
The plan admittedly would have
little effect in Washington, where
demand for meat is far above sup
ply, according to one OPA source.
In communities close to producing
areas, particularly in the Middle
West, however, the plan would slow
down sales of low-point cuts of
meat and make them available in
other. areas.
Generally, red point values for the
next four-week ration period will
reflect the fact the country Is en-
teripg the season of declining meat
production, the OPA Official said
Pork production, according to War
Food Administration reports, is well
behind last year which saw new hog
slaughter records set.
Butter values probably will not be
changed, despite the fact this is
the period when production shows
an upturn, 1t was understood. But
ter now requires "a points a pound.
Latest Bureau of Agricultural
Economics figures show butter pro-
duction running about 9 per cent
behind year ago. For instance,
for the week ending February Is,
production in the United States
amounted to 22500,0 pounds, as
compared with 24,800,00 pounds
year earlier.
On the whole, housewives In the
months ahead face tougher problems
in preparing menus, OPA admits.

Top Priorities Given Two
Appalachian Pipelines
N th. Associated PRE-

By the Associated Press.
Moving to avert another critical
gas shortage in the Appalachian
area next winter, the War Produc-
tion Board today assigned top
priorities for two pipeline projects
costing $12,000,0O0. They are sched-
uled for completion by November
!, 1945.
Edward Falck, director of the
Once of War Utilities, said both
projects are designed primarily to
increase deliveries of natural gas
from the Southwest. The Appa-
lachian area has had three serious
gas shortages this winter, necessi-
tating the curtailment of deliveries
to war production plants.
One project involves the addition
OF four compressor stations on the
Tennessee Gas 81 Transmission
pipeline from Monroe, La, to West
Virginia.
The other is for construction OF
i40 miles of 24-inch pipeline from
the Carthage gas field in Texas to
the Tennessee Gas a. Transmission
line at Monroe.
