• Hydro is a living thing. It takes people ... their hands and brains and hearts
to keep Ontario supplied with power in uninterrupted flow.
Producing power for Ontario's needs is Hydro's number one job. A veritable
army of men is required to keep this power flowing at peak efficiency. For
Hydro is much more than mighty power plants . . much more than the trans-
mission Tines you see striding through the countryside.
Hydro is the employees who keep the power plants producing, who guide
and co-ordinate the constant flow of energy through the transformer stations.
It is the employees who patrol the lines that carry power to far-off mills and
mines, to roaring industrial plants, busy stores and offices, comfortable homes,
peaceful farms.
Hydro is the families of those employees who have set up their homes in city
and town and country .. and, perchance, deep in the isolation of wilderness
and forest.
It is these ... and all the other co-operative men and women employees . , .
who have put life into Hydro, made it a living organization devoted to the
benefit and service of Ontario.
Just now their efforts are directed mainly to producing power for victory
and essential uses, but, after the war,they will 6e ready again to provide the full
peace -time service so essential to the development and progress of this province.
Yes! The heart of Hydro is people ... employees and consumers alike , .
both necessary . both partners in a great public enterprise. For today .
as in the past, and in the Future ..the success of Hydro is dependent on both
the faithful service of the employee an,d the wholehearted support of the consumer.
