WINNERS of 1959 PP&L Scholarships
These ten outstanding young men and women have been selected from 355 highly
Qualified applicants as' the 1959 winners of Pennsylvania Power & Light Company
scholarships. 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
