IiOW TO SAVE 1 '.IaCTRICITY
IN THE IIOME
Hello Homemakers! The order
of the Doininion Power 'Controller
restricting tIhe use of electricity
indicates the acute power situation.
However, the saving that Is hoped
to be accomplished %rough this
regulation .is only a small portion
taf the total required to meet the
growing demaude. of war industries.
Thousand' of munition manufac-
turers — from the little village
machine shops to the .huge indus-
trial plants — must push forward
in the great crusade for Victory.
By baking on the duty of "Elec-
trical Power Warden to the Home"
each homemaker can do her share.
Here are suggestions that will help
you save electricity as well as keep
your electrical equipment in service
for the duration:
LIGHTS
Turn out the lights when you
leave a roam.
Use lights only when and where
necessary.
Place trilite or table lamps to
euable several persons to read or
sew and the children to play games
ow the floor,
Try tc -accomplish, your job in
the attio, cellar or clothes closet
quickly and then shut off the lights.
•-. Watch sour porch, garage and
hall lights, too.
Keep lamps, reflectors and
shades clean so that no light will
be washed.
Do not use decorativice or colored
tamps as they •absorb light.
RADIO
Turn off th6 radio unless you
are lla;en/ng to it.
T' pie, w:11 save electr•ic:ty as well
as wear GU your tub' -s.
HOT WATER HEATER
Turn taps off tight and have
leaking or dripping tape fixed.
Use cold water to soak cooking
menses. •
Stack cooking utensils up, and
wash them along with the, dishes
at the end 01 the meal.
For the bath, run the cold " water
Mist, then turr, on the hot water to

you have to wait for it to cool.

ness baleen out can be pressed after
the iron is burned "Off"

PICTURES FROM HOME
Pictures from home are always; a grand gift for the boy In the armed
services. He'll aIwaya enjoy pictures of the family doing things. Send
him snapshots frequently.
°CORDING to the best infor- shot of Nancy hard at work on the
farm: She's been helping Uncle
Henry during the farm labor short:
age, and she,
earned more than
enough to outfit herself for school'
this fall."
When you look at things that way,
you shouldn't have rnueh trouble
finding good pictures to send the
boys in the armed services, For in-
stance, yotl might photograph dad
working on the car in an effort to '
make it. last "for, the duration"i;• •
maybe you could get a shot of
another starting out to shop with her
ration book. If Johnny builds a toy
boat, or heipc with the scrap rubber
collection, you'll have two more good
subjects there.,
Keep your eyes open; try to de,
velop your "nose for news" and
you'll never lack subjects for pic-
tures ,from home.
SO. John van Guilder

Appeal To Canadians'
To Eat Less Pork
For a Few Days
2, G. Taggart, chairmanof the
Bacon Board and foods adtndndstrator
of the Wartime Prices and Trade
Board, appealed on Sunday night to
consumers throughout Canada to re,
frain from buying fresh pork, bacon
or harp during the next seven weeks.
Purpose of the appeal — issued
through the Wartime Prices and
Trade Board — is to enable the
Baton Board to maintan satisfactory
weekly shipments of bacon to
Britain so as to assure the contin-
uance of the British bacon ration at
the present level. (The bacon ration
in Britain), is four ounces per person
a week).
With the- co-operation of Canadian
eonsttnners during the next few
weeks, until about November 1,
shipments of bacon to Britain can
be maintained, Mr. Taggart said.
It is expected that additional hogs
will be marketed early in November.
Not a Paying Proposition
A Mildanay ttusines* man, who
owns a farm near his village, sowed
most of it in fall wheat last fall.
This sunioner he threshed about 850
bushels, and he estimates his ex-
penses totalled about $5'75, all the
work done having been paid for at
current wage rates. The expense
list included everything in conneo-
Von with the crop. He figures that
flnanolally he has just about broken
even in Itis experianent. —Mildmay
Gazette.
FakeLicenses
It is reported that three men have
been canvasedng rural distriots in
Weleington as radio inspeotors,
selling radio licenses. The men are
fakes and no doubt the pollee will
soon catch up with them. There is
in every town and village a man
authorized to sell radio licenses and
farmers., like town people, should
deal with him. —Arthur Enteprise-
