ELECTHHATY IN FARMS IN IOWA HOMES AND UTILITIES
In Iowa only about one farm in seven has electric or gas service with 15.3 percent using electricity and gas, 11,257 receiving central station service. Gas and electricity use among farms with Jews is higher than national figures but low compared with telephone service and automobile ownership. High delivery costs hinder expansion. independent farm plants gain popularity and engineers foresee a major shift in rural electrification this decade. A reception last evening honored the Service Star Legion and the American Legion at Mr and Mrs W E Saunders home with Miss Leta Vaughan, Miss Mary Brereton, and Mrs Earl Beebe performing vocal selections to a large gathering.
