THE ARMY OF HYDRO WORKERS HONOURS THE ARMY IN KHAKI Hydro never performed such important, indispensable service as now. It's a war-winning, service! When a man joins the Army, Hydro begins to help him. Hydro supplies the power to Ontario industriesto produce the m unitions andsuppliesthatmake our Army a strong, hard-hitting force. You, on the home Front, can help the Army, too. Save Hydro by using fewer lights, by using it economically in the kitchen— basement—everywhere in the house—by turning off the current the moment it has served its purpose. The electricity you save will help to make more weapons for our fighting men.
