These people, in their way, are in equally as sore streits as their normally more unfortuinte fellows. Established in business situations, or in one profession or another, they suddenly found themselves de-- prived not only of their means of livelihood, but of their very homnes.

Black-out Was Below Expectations
The black-out on Thursday night has been described in official circles as "below ex- pectations," the opinion being that it was less successful than during past 'experiments.
The authorities have been watch- ing flagrant offenders and it is warned that unless much better co-operation is shown drastic steps will be taken against careless, or wilfully negligent householders. motorists and others.
The maximum fine that can be imposed by a police magistrate for such non-co-operation is $1,000.
