PROGRAM DESIGNED TOt

2.
Eliminât« all waste in um al electric appliances.
CoitMrve Electricity In every poeelble way In
your mm of lights and appliances.
The basic objecUve of this program is to conserve critical
resources by conserving electricity.
1. Conservation of electricity is essential to victory because
Saving electricity means saving coal, or oil, or
gas which are used to produce it. >
It means saving in manpower, directly or in
directly, which releases men and won.j : for more
essential purposes.
It means saving in critical materials such as cop
ier, tungsten, and molybdenum which are used
in light bulbs but so badly needed tar fighting
equipment
3. Conservation of electricity is a homerfront duty for
every man, woman and child whether at home or at
business, whether at play or at work. Although individ
ual contributions may be small, they can yield tremen
dous savings in fuels, materials, and manpower when
undertaken by each and every person.
To obtain savings in electricity, residential, rural, commercial,
and Industrial users must all be enlisted in the conservation
program. Each can do specific jobs.
Among the ways in which electricity can be saved by resi
dential and rural consumers are the following:
(1) Conservation in lighting use
(a) Turn off all lights not actually needed.
(b) Turn off fans, radios, and other electrical ap-
pliances when not needed
(c) Keep lamp bulbs, reflectors and fixtures clean.
(d) When large bulbs bum out and renlaccment is
necessary, use smaller ones if they will give
the required illumination.
If electricity is used for réfrigération
