A critical power shortage now exists in Southern Ontario. Savings in the use of electricity will be needed on the part of all citizens in order to avoid serious difficulties during the present winter period, and Hydro is asking all consumers to conserve electricity wherever possible in order to relieve this situation. THE DAILY PERIOD DURING WHICH SAVINGS SHOULD BE EFFECTED IS BETWEEN 8 A -M. AND 8 P.M., AND CONDITIONS ARE PARTICULARLY ACUTE BETWEEN 4 P.M. AND 7 P.M. Factories and industry are asked to switch from day to night opera- tion, in whole or in part, wherever possible, and also to effect all power savings practicable. Street lighting should be reduced to the lowest level consistent with public safety. THIS IS HOW YOU CAN HELP • Eliminate the use of electricity for signs, billboards and store windows from 8 a,m. to 8 p.m. • Eliminate all Christmas decorative lighting until Saturday, December 21st, and again after January 1st. • Turn off lights when not required. • Use the minimum number of lights in the living -room, consistent with good vision. • Do not use electric air heaters and grates. • Use electrically heated water sparingly and check leaking hot water taps. • Do not use range elements on "high" when a lower heat will serve, and turn off all elements as soon as possible. • Cook oven meals as often as .possible and avoid the unnecessary use of surface elements. • Turn the radio on only for programs desired; if not listening, turn it off. • Operate electric toasters and other small appliances only as needed. The electric power shortage is a general condition following six years of war and arising from the fact that it was impossible to proceed with the development of sufficient new power sites during the war because of the requirements for war production. Since the war, the critical shortage of men and materials has seriously delayed the development of new sources of power. The Commission has been reducing loads within its direct control, wherever possible. These reductions are not .enough, and it is now necessary to appeal for assistance on the part of all consumers. Hydro appreciated the splendid voluntary assistance on the part of its consumers during the war, and believes that similar co-operation will be forthcoming at this time.
