RESUMING OPERATIONS

London-British industry is
prepared to return to full produc-
ton after a three weeks shut
down dictated by an unprecedent-
ed coal shortage, but domestic
consumers will continue to feel
the pinch of power poverty.
The factories were forced shut
when coal stocks became depict
ed in the coolest Winter since
1880. Some 100000 workers
were estimated to be affected by
the switch-on of current today.
At the peak of the shortage, S.
100000 were idle.
Housewives still must conserve
electricity five hours a day. Some
automobile plants will not reopen
until midweek because of parts
shortage.
The islands had their best
weekend weather of the Winter,
and priority coal trains flowed
across the nation. Coastal coal
ships entered the Port of London
at the rate of one an hour. The
Fuel and Power Ministry esti-
mated 513,692 tons of coal were
saved during the broWn-out,
which started Feb. 10.

ing up?" We cannot all be ecOno-
mists; and it is perhaps just as well,
for they seem to differ a great deal
among themselves about the future.
But we all know this: A man who
saved dollar 10 years ago is better
off today than the man who didn't;
and other things being equal, the
man who saves a dollar today will be
better off in 1857 than the man who
doesn't.
United States Savings Bonds offer
you the opportunity to save at prof
it. Thus every So you lay away now
will come back to you in 1857 with an
extra dollar in interest. You don't
have to be an economist to know o
good thing when you see it.
