What is needed now is a steady increase in production of the weapons of war that will make our forces invincible. Hydro powered machines in hundreds of Ontario’s war plants produce weapons to provide greater fighting power for our men at sea, in the air, on the battle fields. To train, equip, transport and maintain our armed forces, each of us must work harder, save a little more and lend all we can to Canada. The more Bonds we buy, the greater is our investment in Victory. To safeguard and conserve our vital supply of electricity—in our homes, offices and shops—is a paramount duty. There are opportunities every day, every night, for each of us to save Hydro for our war industries. These plants need all the power they can get. Every Victory Bond you buy and every “bit” of electricity you save are contributions you M THE HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION OF ONTARIO ' WHALEN Wedding bells are ringing.
