GREAT KERN RIVER PLANT OPEN TODAY Early this morning the full capacity of the great Kern River hydropower plant Number 3 of the So. Calif. Edison Co. was thrown onto the transmission lines, and the generators and equipment are functioning perfectly, according to a wire received by Dist. Mgr. W. L. Diemling today. This plant has a capacity of 40,000 horsepower of electric energy, a portion of which will be allocated to Anaheim and vicinity. The 200,000 kilowatt hours per year generated from this big plant will conserve 900,000 barrels of oil annually, which, at the present average market price, would cost $1,900,000. Applied to useful purposes, the electrical output from Edison Kern River plant No. 3 is sufficient to illuminate 25,000 residences, to turn the wheels of 250 factories, and to irrigate and reclaim from the desert and bring under cultivation on an intensive scale some 120,000 acres of land. Ten million dollars is the approximate cost of Edison Kern River No. 3. This is a part of the company's $200,000,000 construction program, which contemplates bringing into service a minimum of 750,000 horsepower from the waters of Big Creek, San Joaquin and Kern Rivers. At least 50,000 horsepower development a year is necessary to keep abreast of the demands on the company for power to meet the requirements of increasing population, new industries and the reclamation of semi-arid agricultural lands. This new plant feeds the current which it generates directly to an enormous new substation known as Vestal, just north of Delano in the San Joaquin Valley, which was recently completed at a cost of $1,250,000. This direct connection to the San Joaquin Valley provides a supply of the enormous amount of power necessary in summer for supplying irrigated region during also connectable transmission new plant, the tion of supply water for the San Joaquin river gating season So.

TELLS SIMPLICITY OF RELIEF DRIVE Simplicity is the keynote of the Near East relief drive being launched in Orange-co to help buy a million pounds of flour for starving Aremnla. "Former drives of various kinds depended for their success upon street parades, personal solicitation and frenzied speech-making," said Adalbert Bartlett, who is in Orange county getting the drive under way. "Not so with the Near East relief. All you have to do is to drop your donations—dollars, halves, quarters, dimes—in the proper slots on coin posters, made of heavy cardboard. These cards, which will be 28x22 inches in size, will bear the slogan 'Say It With Flour.' The cards will soon appear in banks, grocery stores and other business places through Orange-co. "Funds obtained here are to apply upon the purchase of a shipload of flour leaving San Pedro June 4 for Constantinople. 'An Orange-co 'Buy a Barrel of Flour' committee will be formed today.'
