LEARNING TO MAKE JEWELRY OJVT 4 $ JO s.' products are desired and purchased by people all over the world, and the capacity to produce such goods largely determines the economy and 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 are constantly being trained to provide the skilled hands so needed by industry. They receive ON THE JOB training under expert instructors in our Ontario factories.' This training, 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. All types of jewelry products are in demand today and veterans, taught by experts the precision work required in the jewelry industry, will increase its productive capacity as they become skilled. 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) JEWELRY MAKING B. J. Lacroix, 22, of Toronto, a veteran of 3% years' service with the Royal Canadian Air Force, is shown here putting the finishing touches on a dia- mond ring. Veterans learn diamond setting, ring making and watch case construction -0N THE JOB. The normal period of ap- prenticeship in the jewelry trade is 3 years. Employers have co-operated to reduce this to one year for veterans,. et the same time safeguard- ing their seniority.

In many cases had payments not been available the unemployed would have suffered want! What's the good of Unemployment Insurance? --Can there be any doubt! Unemployment Insurance helps the employer by providing unemployed with purchasing power; and helps the worker by providing maintenance allowances during unemployment. Employer and Employee and the Gov- ernment all have an interest—Unem- ployment Insurance is a large factor in a healthy National Economy.
