Leroy Hartman returned here
for Christmas visit with rela-
tives and friends in Rawson, Mrs.
Hartman spoke of lady clerk
she had met i'm b store in LOmita,
who said she had at one time liv-
ed in Pandora, Ohio. At the time
of the meeting an interruption
kept them from getting further
acquainted or learning each
others names. However, when
Ernest Zuercher was asked this
week if he knew of anyone from
Pandora who had gone west, he
replied that he knew of Shanks
family who had done so. Sure
enough, the Hartmans then re-
called that tho store in which
they had been shopping was the
d. l.. Shanks Hardware. They'll
get better acquainted when they
return to California which must
be by January 1 when school re-
opens for the Hartman children.

Power Rules Delay
Urged by Humphrey

Senator Humphrey. Democrat,
Of Minnesota called on Interior
Secretary Mckay today to post
pone for at least a year new rules
governing the marketing Of pub
lie power in the Midwest. due to
take effect January /.
The Minnesota Senator charged
that the new policy els being
made at the insistence Of the
commercial companies who re-
fused to electrify rural areas but
who have consistently, with rare
exceptions, fought REA's at
tempts to electrify rural areas"
The Senator predicted the new
policy would either increase the
farmers power costs or place a
ceiling over his power supply. or
both.
Senator Humphreys chief
complaint is that the new policy
is "a partial abrogation" Of pref
erence rights accorded to mlnic-
ipalities and other preference
customers.
The new rules referred to by
the Senator relate to power being
generated in the Missouri River
Basin area from flood-control
dams in North and South Dakota.
