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 nvotd serious difficulties dunng 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 am and 8 pm and conditions are particularly acute between 4 pm and 7 pm factories and industry are asked to switch from day to night opera- tion in whole or in part wherever possible and also to effect nil 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 ngna billboards and store windows from flam to 8 p m eliminate all christmas decorative lighting until saturday december 2 1st and again after january 1st turn off lights when not required use the mimrstim number of lights in thelivingroom consistent with cood4tion 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 serva and turn off all elements at 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 dunng 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 cooperation will be forthcoming at- this time the hydroelectric p0we1 commission of ontario 4
