tional loan funds were obtained
from REA. The two Buckeye die
sci units, installed when the pre-
sent plant was built, were replac-
ed by two much larger Enterprise
units in 1857 and 1858 at a total
cost of Sass 5300 This brought
our plant capacity to 1918 XIV
which necessitated a larger sub
station. A 5000 KVA substation
was built across the street from
the plant-completed in 1859 at
a cost of $60,000
From small beginning in the
w. J. Erskine building, KEA to-
day boasts 1900 consumers though
still having 20 miles of line, giving
density of Al consumers per
mile = the envy of other state
cooperatives.
An ironieal fact is that while
securing its loan funds from the
Bural Electricati0n Adrministra7

a single farm.

kEA's History One Of Continued Growth
In Supplying Power To This Community

'nIg, formerly the power plant
of the w. ]. Erskine Company. In
fact, believe it or not, the Man
ayers first desk was the engine
block of this power plant. Some
1870 consumers were billed from
this "office" and the employees at
that time were:
Elmo Kainulanen, Manager, OPP
orators, George Evans, Fred Sar-
gent, Bill Robertson and Larry
Cope Alice Given, bookkeeper/bil-
ling clerk 1t is interesting to note
that the Cooperative at that stage
did not have a lineman although
the services of John w. Farrow
were obtained a short time later.
1t was again soon apparent that
the electric facilities for the CIV
of Kodiak were not keeping pace
with increased demands. Service"
was only a word in the minds of
most of the residents of the city
and at times voltage at the consum-
er's meter was so poor that plugg-
ing in toasterwoul d pract callv

Because of these conditions it was
necessary to ration power to var
ious sections of the city each even
ing and business signs were "black-
ed out" in order to keep minimum
power available to all.
To alleviate the situation the
KEA board requested an addition
al loan from REA for the con
struction of a generating plant as
we'll as line rehabilitation and
line extension programs. On Au-
gust S, 1913, a second loan in the
amount of $1OO,0O0.00 was APPROX
ed for these purposes.
The present generating plant
was then constructed and two 200

The Kodiak Electric Association,
better known as KEA, is rural
electric cooperative furnishing
power to the City of Kodiak and
its environs.
Its origin dates back to August
IL, 1941 when the Articles of In
corporation were drawn up, al
though actual generation and dis
tribution of electric energy by the
Cooperative did not take place I'M
til August 1912 Instrumental in
the formation of the Kodiak Elec-
tric Assoc. were: Chas. D. Hopp,
first board president, Talmage l..
Smith, M. J. Loughran, Florence
Helsel, Ray Martin j. N. Steffgen,
Norris X. Porter, Yves Rheades and
Roy Snyder.
Prior to formation of the Co
operative, a group of local busin-
ess men operating as the Com
munity Power Company" were en-
deavoring to serve the central town
area, but the overnight influx of
population occasioned by World
War II created a demand for larg-
er and better electrical facilities
for the community at large.
The Kodiak Electric Association
applied to the Rural Electrified
ton Administration for its original
loan of SIPS, 100000 for the purpose
of buying out the Community
Power Co. (Mhose assets included
three Caterpillars and a mobile
trailer unit-familiar to oldtimers
housing two International die
sels) and for the renovation of the
existing power lines serving the
main sections of town.
In 1912, first year of operation,
the office of the Cooperative was
located in a small lean to build

Film Violence

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland,
Aug. 6 (AP).-An American
church leader said tonight the
United States National Coun-
Gil of Churches is seeking regu-
lar meetings with Hollywood
producers in an attempt to curb
unnecessary sex and violence"
In films.
James Wine, associate gener-
al secretary Of the council, said
in an interview that some
American movie-makers are
more interested in making mon
ey than in producing worth
while pictures.
There is no reason that I
can see, why the American
film industry cannot make good
films and still make money"
Mr.. Wine said. I'VE want clos
er contacts with Hollywood to
try to improve its product"
Mr.. Wine, here to attend the
conference Of the World Council
Of Churches, said a closed door
meeting was held in Beverly
Hills last June between repre-
Sentatives of the council and the
film industry. Until now the
council has kept silent about
what went on in the conference,
he said. The meeting was the
third of a series that started last
January.
Mr.. Wine, from New York
City, said 81 of % movie repre-
sentatives invited to the confer
nece showed up.
He added: There we dis
cusSed the industry and the
quality Of its pictures.
Representatives Of the NCC
had a number Of criticisms and
complaints about some movies.
Attempts were made at the
meeting to develop a system of
interchange Of ideas and opin-
ions between the industry and
the churches-but taking care
not to give the impression that
the NCC was interested in CEN
sorship or creating such a body
as the Legion Of Decency."
