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 THE HYDRO -ELECTRIC POWER 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! CONSERVE ELECTRICITY In cooking, use automatic controls and watch the switches. Far large quantities of toast, use top oven element with broiling pan and rack Instead of open elements. Cook complete ''oven" meals In range oven, with bottom elements..
