Why does this empty room postpone the Axis' doom? BECAUSE the radio's g~ing, lights are on, a beater is gl8w­ing--when there's no one there. No one to listen, to read, to bask in friendly warmth. It's a room of waste-and was¥ won't win wars!

Bht electricity hasn't been rationed, you say. That's right, it hasn't. Isn't there plenty of it? . Yes, there is.

-- But when you help save electricity, you help save the ~anpower, fuel, transportation and materials by which elearicity is made. You help shorten the war.

Thill is why tJur Government has asked seven major industries - coal, petroleum, transportation, gas, elec• tricity, communications anti w11ter - to cooper11te for war­time conserv11tion. Anti that is why you are asked to con· serve electricity wherever you can. _

No one exp~s you to gamble good eyesight against bad light, or lock up your appliances, or silence your radio. Go on using electricity for essential purposes. But Cloii't waste it• Use what you netl<l-but need what you use.
