electricity.
The demand for elec-
tricity in Ontario reaches
its peak early in the evening
on cold winter weekdays.

tricity. Many factories, stores
and offices are still open.

meals are being prepared. And
the heating system has to
work harder. It all adds up.
Demands for electric-
ity have been increasing at a
pace that can no longer be
met. The rate of growth must
be reduced..
You can help by avoid-
ing the big jobs like baking,
washing and drying between.

to save electricity.
Conserve energy.
The future depends on it.
