Because of the very high number of top-notch scholarship applicants, ihe Company increased the number of 1959 awards from six to ten. This indicates lea l achievement on the part of the students. It is also a tribute to the teachers of Central Eastern Pennsylvania, whose job is to encourage and develop the abilities of our young people. More than at any time in its history, our nation needs the full abilities of its youth if it is to continue to grow and prosper. PP&L is proud to help further the education of these able young people and to the local educators who are doing such an outstanding job. Pennsylvania power & light company will be in the program for the first time in 1959.

Receive Less For More Food Heavier rood supplies and slightly lower retail prices this spring and early summer are forseen 'in a Department of Agriculture report on the national food situation. Indications for the near fu ture, the Department said, point to heavier supplies of pork and higher grade beef than a year earlier, but less lower grade beef. There will be more eggs, poultry, and lard. Less dairy products will be available be cause of reduced stocks, but milk production will be at the season’s peak and suppli es will be more adequate to maintain consumption at the rate of last spring and early summer. The slight declit in food prices, the report indicates, will be the result mainly of lower prices to farmers. 6 -2659 . CHARLES J.
