lights is promised by May 19th.

vited to make donations. These dona-

whole printing industry is faced with unprecedented demands and
to meet those demands skilled hands are needed. For them great oppor.
tunities 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, thousands of young, workers are being trained
to meet the printing and other industrial needs of this Province. Grad.
rates of these rehahOitation etturaea are now ready to take their places
in Ontario's industry. Available to you are veterans, 'well started on
the road to skilled printing trades such as hand composition, linotype
and inonotype operation, bookbinding, lithography and presswork. Seek
