When one more is a crowd When the family comes home, or friends are caught in town without lactel accommodation, you can always make room for one more... if Dad will sleep no the chesterfield. But sometimes there simply is no room for one more. Take the home that is not adequately wired, for instance. That new sandwich grill may be one appliance too many for the circuit to carry: The new kitchen mixer may be out of luck for a convenient wall outlet to operate from. Whereto put that frozen -food cabinet may be a bigger problem than finding one you can buy. The wall outlet in the chosen corner may be already "overloaded" because of improper distribution of outlets per circuit. When you build or remodel, be sure that your home is adequately wired. Be sure that it is ready to receive the new electrical appliances that you will be wanting to add from time to time. Employ a reliable electrical contractor, and see that there are plenty of outlets in every room, and circuits enough to serve them all adequately. Your Hydro supplies power al rates that are among the lowest in the world. If you are to have full advantage of its convenience, your home must be adequately wired. if you are improving or building a home, ask your Hydro for the booklet, "Adequate Wiring for the Postwar. Electric Homes of Canada." bRO.-'EtI:CfiRIC POWER COMMISSION -.:OF ONT; j'n.
