THE FOF.%,07"OTTFN T There it shines, a forgotten porch light burning all night long at someone's door. In normal times your porch light is a real convenience: It, helps call;rs find your house number, it discourages prowlers, and it reduces accidents from falls on dark steps. The cost is only two or three cents a week—for electricity is cheap. Today our country is at war ... and that light burning needlessly is a serious matter, especially when it burns all night. It uses vital coal and manpower and transportation. And today our Govern- ment is asking for the most careful saving of these critical resources. It is asking you to save VOLUNTARILY. Remember that electricity is a WAR MATERIAL, even though it is cheap and unrationed. There is no shor!age of facili- ties :or making electricity. But thousands of tons of coal per day are required for its manufacture in Edison power plants. Use it as carefully as you would rubber or gasoline or other critical resources.
