Hundreds of war activities in this area depend; upon Portland gas for many purposes and muse have an uninterrupted flow. That is why the War Production Board's Office of War Utilities urges the nation-wide conservation of gas, along with coal, oil, electricity, water, . transportation and communications. Every one of these service industries is carrying a tremendous wax load, and waste of any of these services involves . the direct or Indirect waste of manpower, transpor tation and raw materials urgently needed in the war effort. v Gas conservation isn't new here. For the past year, 100,000 gas users in this territory have been volun-" tarily participating in this wartime program. The Government "greatly appreciates your splendid cooperation, i : But now another season of peak gas consumption . ; is approaching. That Is why Unci Sam is asking you to be even more careful in your use of gas. t Every one must share the responsibility of using ' only what gas he needs.
