More weapons must be produced . As a result, the demand for electricity is intensified. Before the War . . there was power to spare...Now, even with greatly increased supplies . as a result of important new developments, either completed or under construction a critical power shortage threatens our War effort. , To meet this shortage, lights in streets, shops, show windows and signs are being strictly curtailed or turned out, by Order of the Dominion Power Controller. This however, will provide only part of the saving necessary. Why these restrictions now? The effect of the shorter hours of daylight and the seasonal changes in the use of electricity during the Fall and Winter months together with added war load, impose greatly increased demands on present plants now loaded to capacity. ELECTRICITY MUST BE CONSERVED —UNTIL THE WAR IS WON Each one of us must do our "bit." In the home, office or shop, the "turning-on" of one unnecessary switch is a waste of Hydro. Our War plants must have the power they need. Do your part—see that they get 01 Save electricity today and every day in every way possible.

The opening Fall meeting of the W. C. T. U. was held at the United Church Parsonage- "Come Ye that Love the Lord" was used as an open- ing hymn and Mrs, John Kelly led in prayer, ' Mrs, Lucas gave the Bible reading, based on Philippians, 8:15. Here look into the life of. one who was a marvel- lous Christain And who speaks down through the years. This one is St. Paul. The secret of his marvellous life is threefold. The first' thing is "Concentration;". Paul said, "This one thing I do" may have failed irf life, 'not because of lack of ability, but lack of concentration. The reason so many Christains limp through life, is because they do not Put Christ first ' in their lives. •He must come first even in our, home life, and our housekeeping come second. The second secret is "forgetting" those things which are behind. There is such a thing as a wise forgetting of the. past. It is wise fo forget our blunders, losses, life's injuries, sor- rows and sins, "Our light affliction is but for ,a moment, but it worketh for us air exceeding weight of glory," The third secret is to have the "right forward look," Paul , included "reaching forth into those things which are liefore." We need to have the right forward look knowing that God is working out everything to our good and with a purpose. `What a Friend 'We Have in Jesus" was sung and Miss Barfoot conducted the reading of the Clip Sheet. Mrs: Tyndall gave a reading entitled, "The Battle that Lies Ahead." Mrs. Hisler ,and Mrs. Grant Mac- Lean sang a duet, "The Beautiful Gar- den of Prayer." ;Rev. Beecroft brought a message, his remarks were; Our purpose in fighting the liquor trafffic is a worthy one, and we must express our protest, We must not be silent, but be much ouder in our protesting against that which is wrong. • The meeting closed with prayed by Mr. Beecroft and "God Save the King."
