Oregon My silent partner and I both work for immmhmm Sure, this is National Defense! The regulars, the trainees and all the rest of us have to eat, don't we? Thousands of food canning plants like ours and our silent partner, Electricity are doing a real defense job nowadays!' ...Today no industry has to worry about its power supply, no matter where it is... National Defense is a many-thousand-sided problem. No body knows it better than the plants that are busy with rush defense orders in Pennsylvania, Michigan, California, the Great Northwest or anywhere else. But no manufacturer, anywhere in the nation, needs to worry today about his power service. The vast network of high voltage power transmission lines that you see on the map is si defense system in itself. America's power systems are ready to supply power wherever it is needed, whenever it is needed, and however much i; needed as quickly and efficiently as you get electric servic in your own home. And state lines, county boundaries, city limits are no barriers, to the efficient interconnection of America's power systems, In this national emergency practical men are realizing what these great, efficient utility systems the so-called "holding" companies have actually accomplished in integrating the American power defenses since the last war. They realize, too, that these systems are supplying the nation with adequate power, without the need of diverting a single defense-dollar or tax-dollar of yours away from the red job of building the armaments that we lack. 1 Interconnected transmission systems make power available everywhere for today's defense needs.
