War demands come first, Many of the materials needed in providing
Hydro rural service, that are. plentiful in peacetime, are now required
in the manufacture of war weapons. Likewise, many trained Hydro
men have taken up war* duties in the Army, Navy and Air Force.
This results in a shortage of manpower, materials and equipment.
Although working under great difficulties, created by these wartime
conditions, Hydro will continue to provide essential rural services as
rapidly as possible. However, it can be readily realized that with small
er construction crews, coupled with the scarcity of supplies, it is not
possible for* Hydro to effect extensions of power lines and services to
farms as promptly or on the same scale as in peacetime.
Hydro will make every effort to provide service to the more essential
farm and other rural users connected with the production and process
ing of food. Those farmers and other users requiring electricity to
assist in the production of food and for the replacement of labour will
be given preference. Farmers located along existing lines will be given
priority over those in areas where lines

Hydro trusts that this, along with the previous messages, will

on these matters will gladly be supplied by any Rural Hydro District
Superintendent.
