At the Ranch Friday Jan. 27, 1956 Dear Freda and Caroline: Received your letter Freda and thanks so much for all the good wishes. We were in Sac ramento Tuesday night and I stayed in Yuba City and we came, home last night. If you can call this home. I feel so unsettled. Our house looks worse now since it is drying out. The walls are mildewing and the floors buckling. It will be some time before it will be dry enough to start repair cn it. We have the furnace going all the time. You asked about the cedar chest that floated out of the garage. Some papers of George's were found, blocks away. They had his name on them so they were returned. Someone's baby grand piano is in a tree right close to us, also a chesterfield down the road aways. I seem to miss things every day. I will think of something that I want, then remember I don't have it' any more. I don't know what to tell you I need. I saved my linens, sheets etc. That is, I washed them up. They haven't much life in them,, but will do. Some things had spots on them that even clorox wouldn't take out. One thing I hated to lose, was that white bag you made me. I only saved the hand bag I had with me. A friend of mine who was flooded out is staying with a friend who used to live in Nebr. She saw ' my letter to you in the Plattsmouth paper. Her name is Van Landingham but she didn't know that they were any relation to the ones who used to be in Eagle. I have an invitation to spend some time with friends in Santa Monica while we are waiting for the house to dry. But now they are having rains and floods there, so don't know that I will go. I know I won't as long as it rains. Has cleared here a lit tle but probably won't last. I get pretty bored, up here. Have only the piano which we had never moved to the new home, How Nebraska Public Power System Produces Your Low-Cost Electricity NPPS Combines Water and Steam Power for More Efficiency Electricity is born in the throb bing turbines of a steam or diesel generating plant ... or in the thun dering rush of water through a hydro-electric plant. With these power-generating giants, NPPS produces electricity for most of the electric retailers serving people in the Eastern two thirds of Nebraska, excluding Omaha and vicinity. You are using more electricity every year, so it is important for you to know how NPPS is meeting your power needs. Here is what NPPS is doing to make sure there will always be plenty of low-cost power available when you flick the switch. NEW KRAMER STEAM GENERATING PLANT near Bellevue has a capability of 120,000 kilowatts more than enough to supply the needs of a city the size of Lincoln and Grand Island combined. Started in 1949, this giant now is the NPPS base-load plant and produces electricity at a cost among the lowest of any steam plant in the MiH -Continent resion.

NPPS Prepares to Meet Growing Power Needs During its 15 years of operation, NPPS has estab lished a record of meeting Nebraska's increasing needs for electricity at rates lower than those in any surround ing state. Although some NPPS expansion plans have been temporarily delayed by circumstances beyond its control, NPPS is moving forward with a $7,400,000 improve ment program to provide you with better service at a lower rate.

I have done a lot of ironing, a few things everyday. We sent our clothes, that we didn't throw away, to the clean ers and they came out pretty good. Some, of course, I had to throw away. We can not tell much about the furniture yet un til it is thoroughly dried out. The bedroom furniture, radio, stove, little tables and many things we just threw in the dump. May be able to save the dining set but can't tell yet. It may cost more than it is worth, to fix it up. We are not in too big a hurry until we know the danger is over. I am anxious to get back there, but we will just camp there, too, if we go very soon. George's shoulder is better. He uses it now but is pretty painful at times. My blood pressure was 180 when the Doctor took it at How ard's. They had the Doctor for me the week after Christmas. I had a cold and the Doctor made me stay in bed. Said "he had 5 pneumonia cases the day before". But I just had a bad cold. Washed for 3 days and the clothes were so cold, I had to rinse them three times before I put them in the washer. Used May Beths, Pauline's and Pat's dryers as it rained all the time. Used Kay's automatic washer but she has no dryer. Pauline washed some too. Pat teaches so I would send the clothes there today. ; Just got four bath towels, four face towels and four wash cloths from a friend in Long Beach. Everyone has been . so wonder ful. . You asked what I needed. I could use some plain . pillow slips. My fancy ones were high up and are all right but the others didn't even wash out. They are still brown ; and it seemed to wear them out. I had a stack of tea towels in the chest that floated away. A friend gave me some for Christ mas but otherwise I don't have many. George is home now so time to get dinner. f Love, . Mamie Our mail goes to the postof- fice. Still same or 369 Ridge Way, Yuba City, Calif.
