WELL-INFORMED GROUP of
12-YEAR_OLDS started education in electricity when a Mountain State line
crew in the Tillamook division gave them an insulator from a line being
removed from service. Since, the boys have collected more than 150
insulators from Pacific Power & Light, Mountain States Power, Portland
General Electric and the telephone company. In photo at left, Mike Parker,
left, and his partner Al Pinckley, Bob Hammond and Jon Bush, put

their display of transformers
in order. Mike is pictured at right showing Jon, right, how a service drop
should be installed by pointing out the correct type of installation from a
page in his elaborate drawings. Mike's drawings of his imaginary power
system fill eight thick pads of drawing paper. The boys have named their
company the Pacific Northwest Power Company. Home office is Mike's bedroom
in the Parker home at Lake Grove.
