The cost is only a fraction of a cent an hour — for electricity is cheap. But today ANY waste of elec- tricity is serious because it wastes COAL —as well as transportation, manpower, and other critical resources. That is why the Government asks you to conserve electric power voluntarily, in your store and factory and home. Even though electricity is not rationed and there is no shortage in this area, save whenever you can, as much as you can, because it saves coal.
