a phones. She pretended she didn’t

THE GOOD WORK!

Although there is no gas shortage in Indianapolis, gas is made from coal and oil . . . both critically short fuels. ;

. Thousands of Indianapolis families are helping Citizens i: Gas save hundreds of tons of coal and thousands of * gallons of oil by cutting down on gas consumption,

Thanks for your co-operation . = and KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK by observipg these gas saving suggestions:

1. If you heat your home with gas, keep the temperature only high enough to insure health. Shut off unused rooms. Turn the thermostat down at night and when you'it--be away from home. 2. Do not use the oven of your gas range for .. heating the house. Use it sparingly for cooking. Turn off burners promptly, Keep meals simple.

3. Use gas-heated water sparingly. Eliminate those faucet leaks.

4. Avoid opening the gas refrigerator door any more than necessary. Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in the refrigerator.

5. If you use gas commercially or indus-

trially, check plant operations for opportunities to save gas.

Help yourselves by helping us . . . PLEASE KEEP ON SAVING ALL THE GAS YOU - POSSIBLY CAN |
