tinually. We now have a poultry plant of which we are justly
proud. We have made a study of culling and selection for egg pro-
duction and meat type, and when you purchase your chicks you get
the benefit of our experience. All the parent stock is blood-tested

They can make their plans well in advance. Many
prefer the adjustable seats in air conditioned coaches;
others, the extra services of the chair cars or sleepers.

CsANADA'S TEXTILE INDUSTRY
i not generally regarded as
being anything very exciting. It is true that
in normal peace-time years textiles led all
other industries in employment and wages
paid. But that means we are just a part of
regular daily living in Canada, It makes us
about as exciting as a kitchen table.
DURING THE WAR, Canada's hun-
dreds of textile plants turned out millions of
yards of urgently-needed supplies. Today we
are working hard to catch up with the heavy
and growing civilian demands of the post-
war. We provide thousands of jobs to Cana-
dian citizens at new high wage levels. True,
these factors do not seem exciting but it is
nice to know that we have a place in
Canada's way of living. A kitchen table may
not be exciting but it is important to the
household.
