Therefore, it is vitally important that all con­ sumers— industrial, commercial, domestic and rural—be constantly on the alert to avoid all unnecessary use of electricity. Your co-operation in the past has helped. Here are a few sugges­ tions as to how you can continue to help. ® Turn off all unnecessary lights. Do not leave lights burning in empty rooms, halls, basement, attic, porch and garage. ® At the evening study or reading hours, group the family around the reading lamp and turn off other lights. © Replace large light bulbs with smaller ones. © Where water is electrically heated, use hot water sparingly. © Watch the switches on your range, your iron and other appliances.’ Turn them off as quickly as possible. Often the stored heat will finish the jobs. Use ’’High” heat for as short a time as possible for cooking or for boiling water. ® Don’t let motors on motor-driven equipment run needlessly in home or factory. © In factory, store or office, don’t light a row or cluster of overhead lights when a single light nearby will do.
