Fuel For Thought
Do you sometimes say, 1 ‘lt’s chilly to-night, Jet ’s turn ou the radiator to the full!” Do you use your electric iron unnecessarily and leave it switched on all the lime even when you answer the door bell? Do you use your vacuum cleaner from habit rather than necessity or leave your radio on all day when there’s no one in the room ? Do you leave the light burning in the hall all night or leave the porch light on when going to the pictures? Do you waste unnecessary power by letting your water heater boil? Don’t do these things ELECTRICITY is a vital war munition and wasteful household use deprives essential industry of power. Day or night you must economise in power to obviate compulsory measures. Every consumer can help. SAVE ELECTRICITY IT’S URGENT. Switch it off. —lssued by the Electricity Controller, Public Works Department.
