It is hard to find the right words to say except that we all lost a wonderful friend who will be very hard to replace.

Patzke Load Dispatcher L A* McKiliop (seated), in Commonwealth Edison's control center, keeps a hand on the pulse of the 43-state interconnected systeqj. He puts 150 power companies to work for you How a great power grid system helps Commonwealth Edison hold emergencies to a minimum--helps lower your electric bill, too Next time you head for your TV set or switch on the instant daylight from your favorite reading lamp, pause for a moment to think about what's taking place at the other end of your electric line. Keeping track of you There are men on duty at Commonwealth Edison who have a pretty good idea about what time you got up from the dinner table, how long you'll watch TV, and what time you'll wander off to bed. One of these men is I. A. (Mac) McKiliop pictured above. His title is Load Dispatcher. It's Mac's job--and the job of our other Load Dispatchers--to know how much electricity you and almost seven million others in the upper part of Illinois will use each minute of the day throughout the year. To anticipate your needs he makes use of weather data, news of the day, and a mental storehouse full of people's electrical living habits he's acquired during 34 years with Commonwealth Edison. To make sure you have electric power when you need it, he has more than one ace in the hole--including a 43-state (plus areas in Canada) power grid system of which Commonwealth Edison is a part. Keeping up with yon ^ There are 150 power companies in this giant interconnected system. The network extends from Florida to Maine and reaches as far west as Montana, with your house about in the middle. Here's how it helps you. Suppose, for instance, that one of our biggest generators should decide without warning to take some time off. Even though it normally produces electricity for a half million people, you probably wouldn't notice the loss by so much as a blink's worth. Because instantly and automatically other companies in the grid system would chip in with power of their own to help us out until our own reserves could take up thie slack. Shopping for bargains so your electric bill will be one In addition to giving you good service, our Load Dispatchers help giv$ you economical service. For instance, one of Mac's duties is to shop within Commonwealth Edison's own system every hour of the day and use those generators which can be operated most economically at that time. He can choose from some of the most efficient units in the world. Or he may elect to take power from one of the other companies in the grid network if they can sell it to us cheaper than we can make it. Our way of doing business is based on the belief that people with initiative and intelligence-- plus the right tools and the training to use them--can do some remarkable things. We think Mac McKiliop and our other Load Dispatchers, who help to bring you the best electrical service at the lowest reasonable cost, tire good examples of what we mean.
