The War Production Board
today asked city officials, civic
clubs, chambers of commerce,
erchaants and citizens gener-
Hy to dispense with outdoor
orative lighting this Christ-
according to A. J. Thomas
al manager of the South-
tern Gas & Electric Com-
ny.
pointed out that Christ-
mas lighting requires the use
of critical materials, electricity,
and manpower and is not in
line with general conservation
programs already under way.
The attitude of WPB toward
Christmas lighting was announ-
ced because df numerous in-
quiries that have already been
received from city officials,
chambers of commerce and civ-
ic clubs asking what they should
do this Christmas in regard to
outdoor decorative lighting.
WPB is not asking that in-
door Christmas lighting, wheth-
er in the home or in stores, be
eliminated, but believes that
outdoor lighting, such as fes-
tooned store fronts and decora-
ted streets, must be dispensed
with in war times.
Although the electricity sav-
j^ng and the resultant fuel sav-
IHpg may appear small, as com-
pared with the total annual us-
age, nevertheless the elimina-
| tion of outdoor Christmas light-
f is estimated to save 50,000,-
, vwu kilowatt hours of electricity
enough to meet the lighting and
power requirements of a city of
50,000 for a year.

the Wood County Men’s Fifth

was organized many years ago
to create better fellowship

of all denominations and has
been well attended and enjoyed.
