Elec- tric generation plants must be built which more efficiently deal with ad- verse effects of discharging heat, gases, liquids and particulates to air and water. And new technology to transmit and distribute power will be needed in the years ahead, if we are to satisfactorily solve environmental problems. Protecting our environment from the impact of increased demands for elec- trical energy is also one of the factors contributing to higher electric rates. Clean fuel is becoming scarce and expensive. Pollution control equipment is costly. The U.S. Council on Environ- mental Quality has found that proper safeguards for a power plant can in- crease the total cost of the plant by as much as 36%. I Electricity already has a special role in making your own personal environ- ment more comfortable. And that role will grow in the years ahead. Today, electricity performs many tasks to pro- vide cleanliness and comfort. Electric heating, air conditioning, and humidifiers enable you to live in a cleaner, more comfortable indoor environment. A variety of air cleaning devices, such as ,, filters in heating and air cleaning sys- tems and electronic air cleaners, remove smoke, dirt, pollen and other impurities from the air you breathe. In many ways, electricity has dra- matically improved the quality of our lives. With increased research efforts, it can become even more useful in the years to come. Edwin Taylor Harold W. Parker M.

Up, up, up and up went the bidding, with Bert Miller outlasting all bidders to claim the popular item for $15.75. All in all, it was a very fun night with a good-sized crowd present to partake of the fun. And, best of all, it proved to be most successful with the sixth grade accomplishing a year-long goal and their much-anticipated trip to Canada assured in just two short weeks. Thursday evening a large group of sixth gradc girls, accompanied by their morns, attended a Mother-Daughter Banquet for one group of Camp Fire Girls and two groups of Blue Birds. Leaders are Sharon Cook for the Camp Fire Girls; Sally Cook and Judy Heiser each have a group of Blue Birds. The regular meeting of the Pioneer School Board will be held May 14 at 8 p.m. The Pioneer Carnival has been postponed. The new date, probably the first part of June, will be announced next week. The levy committee held a meeting this past Monday evening. Plans were made to cover the district with new fact sheets explaining the cuts made in the 1975-1976 budget and the reduced levy request. Thursday evening of this week there will be a brief meeting for all distribution volunteers to pick up the fact sheets and they will have a chance to ask any questions they may want clarified before going out to meet the public. GI home loan fact told New GI loan policies that apply to all veterans with military service since the start of World War I1 make more than 20 million veterans eligible for the Veterans Administration guaranteed loans; ~" 'Arfiong"~ them are ~rnbid th'~" four million veterans whose GI loans have been paid in full, VA Administrator Richard L. Roudebush said. Those who have never used their eligibility are still eligible even though they might have been out of the service more than 30 years. Also potentially eligible for new loans are those veterans with current loans outstanding. The only condition for restored eligibility is that the first loan be paid off and the home be disposed of. In addition to broadened eligibility rules, new legislation raised the maximum portion of a loan VA is allowed to guarantee from $12,500 to $17,500 and made it easier to buy mobile homes and condominiums. Changes affecting the purchase of mobile homes are - A provision for loans to purchase lots on which to place mobile home units already owned by veterans. An increase in the maximum permissible loan amounts to $12,500 for a single-wide unit and $20,000 for a double-wide unit. Liberalized rules for guaranteeing loans on used mobile homes.
