Lumber, nails, plumbing or wiring equipment... the list is endless. No sooner is one problem solved than another comes along. The scarcity of materials has delayed the completion of many new Hydro projects. This, combined with a greatly increased demand, has limited the power supply. Never has Ontario used so much electricity as now ... not even during the record-breaking war years. Another half million horsepower could be utilized almost immediately, if available. Hydro plants to generate that much and more have been planned and are under construction. Some additional power will be delivered this year .. . more in 1948. But it will be 1950 before the big new Hydro plant on the Ottawa river can start to pour its 360,000 horsepower into the Hydro system. delicious lunch and a social half hour was spent hy all.

Hymn 120 was sung and Mr. .Hooper pronounced the Benediction, The units Of weight in India are the seer (roughly two pounds) and the maund (40 seers to the irtaUiid). DON'T BREAK INSULATORS Why so long? It’s because of the shortage of building supplies ... a tre­ mendous quantity of construction materials and electrical equipment must be sought and bought to build such a plant. The Ottawa {river development alone requires a concrete dam nearly half a mile long, in addition to the power house and the thousands of items of electrical equipment, small and large. Building a new power plant often creates an entirely new community. It takes a long lime... especially when materials are as scarce as they are now. DON’T break STREET LIGHTS Few places in the World have as much electricity available per person as Ontario hai. However, it must be conserved so that new homes and industries will all receive their share ... So that the wheels of our factories will be kept turning and maximum employment and production maintained .. . use Hydro wisely and there will be enough for all.
