You mean m I don't need any coupons for elestrisily?" r i let if r V. vDfnJ That's right, Mrs. Higgins. No points, no coupons no rationing of electricity. Not that it's any less important than food, or fuel, or shoes. In fact, elec tric power has rightly been called the life-blood of war producfion. But our government does ask all of us to use electricity wisely. Even though there's no shortage in sight, the making of electricity requires manpower, fuel, transportation and critical materials things on which war has firsf cali today. So, be as careful with electricity as with coupons. Use all you need but need all you use. Hear "Report to the Nation." news program of the week, every Tuesday evening. 8:30.
