Rural Service Extensions
in Wartime
War demands come first. Many of the materials needed in providing
Hydro rural service, that are plentiful in peace -time, are now
required in the manufacture of war weapons. Likewise, many trained
Hydro men have taken up war duties in the Army, Navy and Air
Force. This results in a shortage of manpower, materials and
equipment.
Although working under great difficulties, created by these war-
time conditions, Hydro will continue to provide essential rural
services as rapidly as possible. However, it can be readily realized
that with smaller construction crews, coupled with the scarcity of
supplies, it is not possible for Hydro to effect extensions of power
lines and services to farms as promptly or on the same scale as in
peacetime.
Hydro will make every effort to provide service to the more
essential farm and other rural users connected with the production
and processing of food. Those farmers and other users requiring
electricity to assist in the production of food and tor the replacement
of labour will be given preference. Farmers located along existing
lines will be given priority over those in areas where lines must be
constructed. In any case, only extensions of limited length can be
considered. All other rural residents on new or existing lines will be
supplied with Hydro service as and when conditions permit.
Hydro trusts that this, along with the previous messages, will
enable rural consumers to more readily understand the new uniform
Hydro rural rates and the influence of wartime shortages of man-
power and materials on power extensions. Upon your request, further
information on these matters will gladly be supplied by any Hydro
Rural District Superintendent.

This completes a series of messages explaining the new Rural Rates and the
problems of electric supply to farm and hamlet consumers served direct by The
Hydro -Electric Power Commission of Ontario. We suggest you clip and keep

EVERGREENS FOR SPECIMEN AND BASE
PLANTING AND HEDGING
Nothing adds such charming finish to house and
grounds as do well arranged plantings of Ever-
greens. At entrance door and about corners they
are much needed to hide the bare foundation and
bring the house and, lawn into harmonizing
union. And they give color and delight both
summer and winter. McCONNELL'S Evergreens
are all three and four times transplanted. This
insures a heavy root system which transplants
successfully. Send for your catalogue now and
order early so your stock can be reserved. It
greatly facilitates shipping and besides, if you
delay ordering until the season is well advanced,
some varieties are liable to be sold out.

You Have To Heal Their Souls, Too
The problems of our soldiers who
lose arms and legs in battle go far
beyond physical healing and artificial
limbs -- and that's why 10,000 men
like Billy Gibson are needed to give
new life to spirits shattered by war.

You make a first payment of at least 10% of the
amount of the bonds you buy and pay the
balance when it is convenient for you to do so,
within the next six months. Bonds earn 3% for
you and this income pays the interest on the
loan during this period. Be sure to buy Victory
Bonds on this plan as well as for cash.
