This is Public Service Indiana's $42 million generating unit at Terre Haute. Wabash River station spins huge generator

■.v.

Public Service Indiana Monday began full load operation of the largest single generating unit in the company’s system at its Wabash River Station north of Terre Haute. The $42 million unit has a rated capacity of 360,000 kilowatts, more than twice as much as any other unit operated by the state’s largest electric utility. It brings the total capability at Wabash River Station to 885,000 kilowatts and makes it the largest of six Public Service Indiana generating stations. The additional capital investment in plant facilities assures Public Service Indiana's contlnued top ranking as the biggest taxpayer in Vigo County. "More electric power to meet the growing needs of a growing state is the reason this new unit was built,” said Walter J. Matthews, president of Public Service Indiana. "We have built this unit to keep ahead of a state that’s on the move and that is why we are also well along on construction of a l-mil-lion kilowatt generating station 35 miles upriver in Vermillion County,” he said. Fred E. Nicoson, Power vice president, said that the new unit

at Wabash River Station could supply enough electricity to serve all the homes in 21 cities the size of Terre Haute. He estimated annual output of the station will be about 5.8 billion kilowatthours. The project was three years in construction and required work crews of up to 500 men. Some two million manhours of labor went into the new units’s completion. Its construction was the largest single project ever coordinated by the utility's own engineering department headed by Vice President Edwin M. Cue. Sargent & Lundy, Chicago, was the con. suiting engineering firm for the design of the unit. The power plant expansion assumed huge proportions to accommodate a 20-story steam boiler and a 1,000-ton Westinghouse compound turbine • generator measuring 122 feet long. To insure maximum possible efficiency at the lowest cost, and electronic computer monitors all 400 functions of the unity once each second. Operators make adjustments and corrections according to information provided by the computer. The plant expansion resulted in 39 new jobs and brought the total complement at the station Assigned to tank crew US.S. ARMY, VIETNAM (AHTNC)— Army Specialist Four Harry C.

to 194. The annual station payroll now is about $1,650,000. A $620,000 investment in air pollution control equipment for the stack of the new unit at Wabash River station was made by Public Service Indiana. Recognizing its good citizenship responsibility to help clean the air in its service area, the utillty is installing similar electrostatic dust collection equipment on the five older stacks at the plant. This project is expected to cost some $5 million and is Girl Scout Council seeks more leaders The Putnam County neighbor, hood Association of the Covered Bridge girl scout council met at the Presbyterian Church on Sept. 9.

This program will be completed by early 1969.) The new unit was pronounced ready for full operation by Publie Service Indiana after last week's final "shakedown" testing during which final corrections and adjustments were made by engineers of Westinghouse Electric Corporation and other major equipment suppliers.

DEAR FOLKS: All of us inonis an* going to have to “got with it.” At loast that’s what my teonagor tolls mo . . . 1 couldn't understand how teenagers studied or road with that little transistor radio or TV blaring . . . But I’ve been told and got many letters from teenagers which say, “It’s the only way to get things done, I can’t do without it . . Believe it or not, they have something . . . Some day put that teenager’s tiny transistor in the pocket of your blue jeans, house dress or apron. Then try getting your work done! I did! The music is a 1 ways with you. And if you don’t like the program you can change it. It's most amazing how it helps. Especially If it’s doing that laundry or Ironing, working In the garden, or eleaidng out closets! Helolso + * * DEAR HELOISE: Here's an attractive, delicious dessert 1 often prepare for my family. I make a ioaf cake or tea bread and cut it into four horizontal layers. Then make a filling of instant vanilla pudding and divide it into three equal amounts. I use cake coloring to tint each portion a different color and flavor. For example, one layer of “lime" custard tinted pale green, one layer of pale yellow "lemon" custard, and one of "orange." I spread the custards between the cake layers, put the cuke together and place it on a serving platter. Refrigerate and serve chilled. Delish! A Kan * * * DEAR HELOISE: Here's how I made a pretty hurricane lamp to use as an emergency light: I took an attractive, odd drinking glass and glued it to the bottom of an odd coffee cup turned upside down. Just be sure your cup has a handle on it 'cause this makes the lamp easier to carry.

Then I melted some wax and stuck a candle down in the glass and presto. I had an attractive lamp ready for use if the electricity should go off. So the glue will match if you use a colored glass, just put a few drops of food coloring in the glue itself. This little lamp, of course, costs you practically nil. but is pretty enough to leave in any room. So why not make more than one? It would not only be useful. but decorative too! They all could be different since they are made from odds and ends. Mrs. W. B. Heath * * * What a darling idea! And who doesn't have an odd glass and clip stashed away in the cupboard wondering what to do with It. These would be real cute on a porch or patio. You’re a doll for writing and sharing this with us. W'e thank you muchly. licloisc

LETTER OF LAUGHTER DEAR HELOISE: I own one of your pocket edition hints which I keep In the living room bookcase. This morning I noticed that the washing machine did not get the stains from one of my dresses, so I went to the bookcase for your book. I bent down on one knee and started to slide the bookcase door with my left hand It stuck and so did I. 1 couldn't get up off the floor Believe me. 1 didn't love you very much by the time I was able to get to my feet! Now I’m wondering if you have an answer as to why 1 put such a necessary household item where the elements could resist mv ancient bodv's getting it?’
