in guarded laboratories all over Ontario,
night and day, chemists are seeking out
formulas for ever more powerful explosives
that will help to shorten the war. The chemical
industry and Hydro go hand in hand. Between
them they produce explosives for aerial tor-
pedoes, depth bombs, land and sea mines,
chemicals for flame throwers --and many other
weapons that will hit the enemy hard.
From the day that war was declared Hydro's
two million electrical horsepower was ready to
be harnessed to the war effort and today more
than half of it is at work, fashioning the myriad

tools of victory. In Ontario's chemical industry,
huge plants using over 150,000 Hydro horse-
power are turning out chemicals and high explo-
sives—and more such plants are being built.
That means greater demands for electrical en-
ergy, demands your Hydro must and will meet.
Here, every citizen can help by conserving
Hydro current, by using it sparingly. That's an
important way we can all "help to finish the
job" ... sooner!

Saving Hydro
Conserving hydro is an issue being
considered as a part of Canada's
war effort. This could be done in
several ways, ne of which would he
for smaller municipalities to cut
down on the number of hours of
consumption on street lighting. For
insttanee extinguishing theme at two
o'clock, It would not be any
saving to- the municipality as bhe
cdst is determined by the peak load
and the peak load is on at an earlier
hour but it would be a conservatuu
by allowing that extra power to• be
diverted to war ,Industry or some
other absolutelynecessary uses
This would allow for only a few in
conveniences in the course of a
year, such as, lighting the way to
catch the early morning train, during
a short season of the year. There
are very few who have to- go to
work before daybreak and even if
there are, any would gladly put up
with the inconvenience for a worthy
cause.

there has been a very noticeable de-

gas and hard on tires, and with no

But there are motorists who never

will possibly pay about as- much at.
tention to the new fortymile rate as
they did to the fifty. For a time that
is, and that time will be very short.
Just time enough for them to rind
out by bitter experience that there
are real teeth in the new, law.
