workmen?
By making these things ourselves, we have earned
a standard of living admired throughout the world.
Nearly half of all eliployed Canadians work in
manufacturing. Without our factories we would be
principally employed in producing raw materials for
other _nations to process.
We enjoy our present way of life because we work
not only on the land but also in modern factories.
One way to maintain this is to buy Canadian -made

couldn't force my way. The flames
were all around me downstairs, so
