Kind of them to leave me the fire [on]

1 Jan 1945

22### KIND OF THEM TO LEAVE ME THE FIRE! Do you want to make him feel at home? If so, this is the best way. There is nothing the Squander Bug likes better than an empty room with the electric fire blazing to no good purpose. It makes him feel really good to watch you wasting the nation's precious fuel—and your own money. So if you don't want the Bug as a permanent (non-paying) guest, you had better watch your step, and never leave a room empty without making certain the fire is turned off. And when you are using your electric fire, use one bar only.
