Clarke How upon you and rest of the people. Chitario is facing a it = met depends ni Cand thi crisis, I"ve refernhy to the hydro short- ices Yes, a lot depends "upon the cost of the peopld" and of course on the Hydro Commission itself, but «ull if each one of us would stop worrying about what the other fellow is dging and concentrate on ways and means of saving power in our own homes a lot less kilowatt hours would be uscd as a result. It is <0 casy "Why should I bother to use less power when So- and-So's house is all 'lit up like a Christmas tree?" And supposing it it--does that give us the right to be cqually ignorant and inconsider- ate' As my niece aptly remarked the other day--"Hydro is one thing you can't hoard--to have it vou must save it." to sayv--' * * . We are continually being remind- ed by press and radio to save pow- Cr--ise HO HOE turn the switch when the Lettle starts to sing; be saving with heaters, and so on. HeCC- dry, Fespes tive ied to good purpose. I know that is so liere. For instance, until every- onic is in bed we always keep a light burning-in-the-hall. As a safe- ty measure we still do but we now - have a 10-watt bulb instead of a 40, and for the bracket light in the dining-room a 77 watt bulb. The man cellar light has always been a big waster. The switch is at the top of the stairs. Someone comes up from the cellar, forgets to switch off the light, and because it is na- tiral to close the cellar door the light is" shut off and there is noth- * ing to give any warning that" the siwtch has been left on. So we got busy. We rigged up a plug-in light, vith a tiny bulb that hooks up on the outside of the cellar door. Since it is plainly visible through the glass panel of the dining raom door we always sce it and act accordingly, if by any chance the light should be left on, * * * Then in our little sitting-room Partner has a 60-watt bulb in the reading lamp by his couch. That's fine--ior reading! But most eve- aings Partner will drop off to sleep --and who needs a 60-watt light to sleep by? So, unless I am using the lights than--are wi That's fine but [ think the habits of our own: families might be stud--- lamp at the far end of the room, I switch off the bright light and turn on a 15-watt wall lamp specially in- stalled for that purpose. And what about the radio? Where is the family who cannot find some way of using it a little less? How often is the radio turned on and. | then forgotten, with announcers telling an empty house how to get rid of acid indigestion or the kind of soap to use to make the whitest wash? FE * And then there are stoves . . . cool days are with us once agaln and it shouldn't be any great hard- ship to go back to the old cook- stove to do our baking. Hydro is such a precious thing and those of us who did without it for so many ycars, know only to well how much it contributes to the joy and comfort of everyday life. Shouldn't "we then be the first to try to con- serve it? Not just for ourselves, 'but for industry. Shortage of power could have far reaching results. It could throw thousands out of work and seriously upset our 'industrial 'machinery. Someone may have slip- ped up on the job but there is little use at this time to berate the gov- ernment or the H.E.P.C. for any inconvenience we may suffer. We were given fair warning a shortage might occur--a shortage that has been further aggravated by the late summer drought -- and that was something no one could prevent. Canada depends so much upon her natural resources -- water to generate electricity; natural gas in many parts of the country; oil for so many prposes; and it looks as if our use of these resources is.out- stripping the supply. It is some- - thing to remember--and we might also think twice before we criticize, For instance someone turned in a complaint because a big business pace was ablaze with light and was told that in this particular instance the company had its own generat- ing plant. Excuse me a minute--Partner is calling. Oh- oh... is my face redl Partner was wanting to know why the back cellar light had been left burning. And I was the culprit! See what 1 mean? If we each make a habit of checking up on the rest of the family surely Ly lot of power could be saved. - .. Jo me Amps mp ~~ CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 3. Jpittiniieg by 1. Cuttlefish ree 8. Rub out 1.

Barclay Warren History in the Old Testament 1 Kings 4:21-29; 11:16, 9-11, Golden Text: --DBlessed is tion whose God is the Paslm 33.12, - A large por tion of "the Old Test- ament is history. It relates in de- tail the story of Israel, the chosen race. A few years ago a traveller was going from Egypt to Palestine, He went to a book seller to securé a guide book which would enable him to identify the historic land- marks in the country over which he was to trayel. The book scller frank- ly told him that if he would study the na- Lord.-- - the book of Exodus, and related passages, it would be as dependable a guide as he could find. Further- more, almost every year fresh evi- dence is uncovered confirming the accuracy of the Old Testament His- tory. The lesson gives us a picture of the Kingdom of Israel when its prosperity and grandeur was -great- est. Soloman ruled forty years. It was the golden age. It was not the forced prosperity occasioned by war, but a prosperity made possible by peace. The Queen of Sheba after visiting the kingdom and viewing its glory exclaimed to Solomon, "The half was not told YT me. But espe Solomon's he made a great error. "He loved many strange women . . . he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines. He joined with his wives in their idola- trous worship. Because of Sol: omon's sin God said to him, "I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy ser- vant." To be in the kingdom - of God is better than to rule king- doms of the world. - CLS = oR pS SX 25% "5% > EAS SS 2 TWO needles! Isn't that too simple?

Didn't vou hear what I said?" and feel vourself ill-lused? Or do you cater to his mood, let him read his paper, and send him off with a pleasant goodbye?
