HELP CANADA AND YOURSELF BY
CONSERVING WHAT YOU HAVE
Every time we make what we
have 'do' :::.every time we
don't buy new things, wt are
actually helping protect the
price ceiling. Also, by saving
money now, we will be able to
get much better value after• the
war, when shortages will all be
forgotten. To make what we
have last the duration is not
only patriotic—it is simply
good sense!

ADDED home security has always been one
of the foremost objectives of Brantford
Roofing's production . . . extra protection against
the ravages of fire, time and weather. But, as
this soldier typifies, men who, used to help
Brantford Roofing build for security are out
battling for it now.
Because Brantford Roofing products, have a
petroleum base—and oil is strategic material
nowadays—the supply of 'Brantford Roofing for
houses is limited. Any quantities available for
civilian use are rationed to dealers, to ensure an
equitable share in each community. To stretch
raw materials as far as possible, all Brantford
Roofing ' lines have been standardized on a
minimum range' of styles and colours.
If you are faced With roofing problems, ask your
Brantford 'Roofing dealer to assist you. He will
help you make your present roof last longer and
effect urgent repairs with a minimum of new
material. He will also help you plan „now for a
completely renovated roof after victory.

ENE AND WAR
• Day and night, throughout Ontario, electrical
energy travels with the silence and speed of
light. Hydro-Electric generating stations are
its source, thousands of miles of transmission lines
are its highways, Ontario homes, farmsteads and
factories are its destinations. In our Province,
wherever supplies and tools of war are in the
making, Hydro electricity keeps wheels turning
at wartime speed.
• The need for Hydra power has vastly increased.
Through foresight and planning from the birth
of Hydro, its program has been one of progress
and expansionl Today, 90% of Ontario's
industries are electrified. Where plants are built
or enlarged, Hydro supplies low-cost electricity
to light buildings and • to power machines.
Conservation of this vital element in non-essential
industry, in homes and in offices will permit
Hydro to meet every wartime emergency.
• The familiar transmission towers. symbols
of Hydro power are constant reminders of the
men whose organized effort makes Hydro service
Possible. Theirs is a round-the-clock ...round-

• Electricity is the tireless servant of mankind.
After the war, In the city, on the farms and In

—in increased measure to make human tasks
lighter and lives brighter.
