Changes *Only two major changes have taken place in the property dur- ing its century of operation. The original mili was reconstructed on its present site ini 1851 and modern machinery has been in- stalied to keep pace with the times. Erected on the creek flow- ing through Hampton, Elliott's Mil was but one of 35 'mils and factories using the water power of this stream. Only two have survived, the Hampton miii and Vanstone's Mill, BoWmanville, both today at the peak of pro- duction.

Savings in the use of electricity will be needed on the part of ail citizens in order to avoid serious difficulties during the present winter period, and Hydro is asking ail consumers to conserve electricity wherever possible in order to relieve this situation. T13E DAILY PERIOD DURINO WHICH SAVINOS SHOULD BE EFFIECTED IS BETWEEN 8 A.M. AND 8 P.M., AND CONDITIONS ARE PARTICULARLY ACUTE DETWEEN 4 PqMM. AND 7 P.M. Factories and industry are asked to switch from day to night opera- tion, in whole or in part, wherever possible, and also to effect ail power savings practicable.. Street lighting should be reduced to the lowest level consistent with public safety. TRIS IS HOW YOU CAN HELP " Eliminate the use of electricity for signs, biliboards and store windows from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. " Eliminate ail Christmnas decorative lighting until Saturday, December 2lst, and again after January lse. " Turu off lights when not required. " Use the minimum numnber of lights in the living-room, consistent with good vision. " Do not use eiectric air heaters and grates. " Use electrically heated water sparingiy and check leaking hot water tapa. " Do not use range elements on "high" when a lower heat wili serve, and turn off ail elements as soon as possible. " Cook oven mneals as often as possible and avoid the unnecessary use of surface elements. " Turn the radio on oniy for programns desired; if not listening, turn it off. " Operate electric toasters and other smali 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 requirements for war production. Since the war, the critical shortage of men and materials has seriously delayed the development of new The Commission has been reducing loads within its direct control, wherever possible. These reductions are not enough,' and it'is now necessary ta appeal for assistance on the part of ail consumners.
