In an effort to avoid the possibility of a complete shut down of power during portion of the peak lead period from 4 Io 7 p.m. today, the Wairarapa Electric Power Board has made a special appeal to shopkeepers in all Wairarapa towns to close their shops between 5 and 6 p.m. tonight and not to switch on window, lights until
after 7 p.m., states the chairman of the board, Mr A. Campbell Pearce.
Members of the board, said Mr Pearce, had personally approached the shopkeepers in the various centres and sought their co-operation on the lines suggested and they report having received a most sympathetic response. It was hoped that this course would exclude the possibility' of a complete shut-down of power, Private consumers are also requested to exercise the strictest economy.
