Dr. Ronnigen showed slide:
of ^ trip to Iceland. Most of the
slides pertained to agricultura
advancements in that county
which has similar problems a;
Alaska. Much progress has
been made in Iceland regard
ing their growing problems and
a major achievement has been
the growing of bananas in hot
houses.
As trees are virtually non
existent in Iceland all the
buildings are made of concrete.
An interesting novelty of the
country is that in some parts,
hot air seeps out of the ground,
this is utilized for heating pur
poses.

For every Member. . .
.. the best possible
electric service at
the lowest possible cost!”
NRECA
That is a goal toward which a Rural Electric
System constantly strives. Much time is devoted
to maintenance, system studies, planning—plan
ning ways to improve service ... to provide for
the ever increasing demand for electricity . . .
Good planning is necessary to provide good
service . . . and to make every dollar go a long,
long way; for the money borrowed to build our
Rural Electric System must be paid back, with
interest, to our banker, the REA.
And, as more and more uses are found for an
ever increasing amount of low-cost electricity in
rural areas, so. too, is a greater market created
for goods and services bought from folks in the
cities and towns . . . Rural Electrification is good
for ALL Americans!

Alaska Spends Less
Than U. S. Average
On Public Aid
Alaska ranked 23rd among
the states in the amount per
capita it expended for public
assistance in 1961 according to
figures just reported by the
Bureau of Family Services of
S. Department of Health,
Education and Welfare.
The money Alaska spent for
public assistance, figured on
population basis, averages out
to $9 per capita or a dollar less
than the national average of
$10 per capita.
Colorado spent $25 per capita
for its needy in 1961 and Vir
ginia only about $2. Hawaii’s
1961 per capita average for
public assistance was $6.
The funds are administered
through state public welfare
programs and provide for basic
needs for persons temporarily
or permanently deprived of
sufficient income.
