ROBERT. RAF, G,'#:r:,
Facts to date show that consumption of electricity
has been somewhat reduced by modified ration-
ing and voluntary savings. The Commission
appreciates the effort of all consumers in this con-
nr,c,,ion. But results are still short of being enough.
R', --,:;t icioy costs so little in this province that people
have long been accustomed to using it lavishly.
For example, your porch Tight left burning when
not needed is wasting electricity. Ask yourself
honestly: are you doing all you can to help relieve
this situation?
El ctr1ehy is predous!
Dont waste it a Save it:
DO YOUR PART TO KEEP PAY ENVELOPES FULL
Continuing deficiency still forces some industries to
get along on substantially less power than is re-
quired for peak production and full employment.
