![["Mr. Grant F. Pickett from Sand Springs, Oklahoma wrote to Congressman Schwabe requesting information on when a group of forty families in Osage County can expect to receive electric service from the Verdigris Valley Electrification Cooperative.

Materials have been difficult to obtain due to shortages caused by government restrictions during the war. Congressman Schwabe is willing to help expedite the extension of electrical service into the community. Mrs. A. L. Warren, Secretary, assured Pickett that they will investigate and provide updates on the progress.
