Cutoffs Does NOT Mean The End of the POwer Shortage All Consumers must continue their efforts to cut down on electricity While improved water conditions resulting from recent rainfall in the right places, have enabled The Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario to increase quotas to municipalities, water flow conditions are still not normal. Therefore, it is vitally important that all con- sumers—industrial, commercial, domestic and rural—be constantly on the alert to avoid all unnecessary use of electricity. Your co-operation in the past has helped. Here are a few sugges- tions as to how you can continue to help. • Turn off all unnecessary lights. Do not leave lights burning in empty rooms, halls, basement, attic, porch and garage. • At the evening study or reading hours, group the family around the reading lamp and turn off other lights. • Replace large light bulbs with smaller ones: • Where water is electrically heated, use hot waters sparingly; • Watch the switches on your range, your iron and other appllancesi Turn them off as quickly as, possible. Often the stored heat will finish the jobs. Use "High" heat for as short a time as possible for cooking or for boiling water. , Don't let motors on motor-driven equipment run needlessly in home or factory. • In factory, store or office, don't light a row or cluster of overhead lighte when a single light nearby will do. "Quality and Service" gathered around the table on which a tall candle was lighted The leader, Mrs. Hamilton spoke the following words.: Tonight in little church's of the earth, And in the great cathedrals arched We gather to commemorate a birth, and dim We see a Star and come to worship Him. Smaller candles were lighted by members for Christians in North Am- erica, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. The hymn, "We Thank Thee that Thy Church Unsleeping," and the benediction, Glory be to God in the highest and on Earth, peace, Good Will to Men, brought the meet.: ing to a close. A social hour followed, when re- freshments were served by the hos.. tess, Mrs. Hunter assisted by Mrs. Hamilton and Mrs. J. H. Wylie, while Mrs. Munro presided at the tea table which was centred with the tradition: al. Yule Log, red candles and poinset- tias. Mrs. J. Lovell moved a vote of thanks to Mrs. Hunter for her kind hospitality, and also thanked all who had taken part in the special Christ- mas meeting. W. I.
