A. Shouns, Friday. J. A. KRUG, Director, Office of War UtilMa», WPB here’s why Uncle Sam asks you to use your electrical equipment wisely! 1. TO SAVE MATERIALS—copper, steel, tungsten, zinc, rubber and other critical materials used to repair or replace electrical equipment. 2. TO SAVE TRANSPORTATION—hundreds of carloads of railroad space, over the nation, for electrical materials and for fuel. 3. TO SAVE FUEL—of primary importance where coal or oil is used to run electric generating plants. 4. TO SAVE MANPOWER—all along the line—from manufacturing lamp bulbs to maintaining electric power service OF COURSE there’s plenty of electricity. The na tion’s generating plants have reserve capacity to produce over 26% more current than could be used during the absolute peak hour of last winter—an hour when all war plants were running, when lights were on and dinners were being cooked. to America’s 32,000,000 users take great quantities of vital materi als—plus manpower, transportation, and fuel. And when you use electricity needlessly, you are wasting part of the service life of appliances, which are be coming harder and harder to replace because they take materials demanded for war. But to keep electricity flowing So the Government Says “Conserve!* In a recent joint statement, War Production Board Chairman Donald M. Nelson, Secretary of the Inter ior Harold L. Ickes, and Defense Transportation Chairman Joseph B. Eastman said: “Conservation of fuel, manpower, equipment and material is a ‘must’ for the United States if we are to achieve the maximum war production every American wants. “Every pound of coal, every gallon of oil, every cubic foot of gas that can be saved means that our national energy pool is strengthened just that much. Every man-hour saved in the production of these basic fuels, in the production of electric ity, in transportation and in communications is a man-hour that can be used for something else.... “We have, therefore, called upon the coal, petroleum, electric, natural and manufactured gas, water, communications and transportation industries to join with us in a broad conserva tion campaign to accomplish these results. Co-operation of these industries in asking the public to use their services only as absolutely necessary represents a real sacrifice by them. We ask the American public to appreciate that sacrifice and to give them and the war effort enthusiastic and unstinting cooperation as this campaign develops.” What Can You Do? Avoid Wastel these vital materials and resources just by avoiding the wasteful use of communications, fuel, transportation and electricity. It’s our job and yours to look ahead and use every thing we have wisely. In the end, it’s going to mean fewer burned-out lamp bulbs, fewer replacements; your electric range, your refrigerator, and other equipment will last years longer. Everyone can help conserve OFFICIAL RECOMMENDATIONS as published by the Office of War Utilities, War Production Board 1.

(a) Eliminate non-essential lighting. (*NOTE) Subject to military dim-out regulations which prevail in many communities. Use What You Need ... but Need What You Uf! Good eyesight is important, too, and it should be conserved by adequate but not wasteful lighting. Bo not reduce lighting below safety and efficiency standards anywhere—in bornes, stores or in dustrial plants. Turn off every light that isn’t necessary, and when lamps burn out, replace them with lower wattage bulbs, if smaller lamps will do the job. Use what you need—but need what you use!
