ONTARIO'S future prosperity depends directly on a sufficient volume
of production to satisfy,doinestic needs and assure for Canada a pre-eminent
place in the markets of the world. Take the electrical industry for example
... never before/ has the demand, both here and abroad, for the products of
Ontario's great electrical plants been so great. Production must be in-
creased . .. but 'to meet new production goals, skilled hands are needed. For
them great opportunities lie ahead. Higher wages, job security, better
working conditions are within easier reach of those who have mastered a
skilled occupation.
Today, through the plan sponsored by the Department of Veterans' Affairs
and other agencies, thotisands of young workers are being trained to meet
the electrical and other industrial needs of this Province. Graduates of
these rehabilitation 001111368 are now ready to take their places in Ontario's
industry. Available to you are 'veterans, well started on the read to skilled
electrical trades such alt electrical construction and maintenance, yadio and
electrical servicing arid motor winding. Seek them, out with confidence.
They are your lu craftsmen:
