LEARNING ELECTRONICS OWT/OIJO'S products are desired and purchased by people all over the world, and the capacity to produce such goods largely determines the economic welfare of every man, woman and child within her borders. Because the sale of every article produced in Ontario brings valuable dollars into this Province, we are all more assured of job security ... and we and our children can have more of the better things in life. But to produce such goods in sufficient quantities, skilled labour is vital. That is why every single one of us should be glad that war veterans arc constantly being trained to provide the skilled hands so needed by Ontario industry. They receive ON THE JOB training under expert instructors iu our Ontario factories. This trainings provided through the co-operation of the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, the Federal Department of Labour and the Ontario Department of Educa tion, starts the veteran off on the road to skilled craftsmanship. Radio, television and the field of industrial electronics all offer outstanding opportunities for skilled technicians and because Ontario’s electronics products are eagerly purchased by countries the world over, every effort of these newly skilled Veterans helps to make Ontario a finer place in which to live and contributes to the welfare and happiness of all her citizens. THE BREWING INDUSTRY (ONTARIO) ELECTRONICS Stanley Barlow, 21, and S. R. Inkster, 26, both of Toronto, and both former members of the Royal Canadian Air Force, are typical of the hundreds of veterans who have been trained in schools and ON THE JOB. check the measurements and performance characteristics of an electronic control de vice for control of motor speeds.
