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

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!
