The Lucknow Sentinel, 1977-03-16, Page 19Save electricity, save money. There are two ways saving electricity can save money. First, the obvious one. The less you use, the less you have to pay for. And to- day, electricity is simply too valuable to waste. Second, something not so obvious. Ontario uses more and more power every year. This means an ever increasing investment in plant and equipment...and their cosfis rising rapidly. The cost of fuels is also increasing rapidly. These costs inevitably show up in the price you pay for electricity. You can help to slow down the growing demand by using electricity wisely. Don't Waste it. Conterve energy. The future depends on it.
