C.P.A. TO FLY PACIFIC: Canad ian Pacific Mr Lines has been granted permission for regular
passenger and cargo flights on the . two trans -Pacific routes shown in the above map, adding
a total of 14,420 route miles to Canada's international air services. Now on order for the
routes are pressurized four -engined Canadair planes, with a capacity of 40 passengers and
three tons of cargo, mail or express. They will be manned by experienced trans -ocean C.P.A.
pilots—Canadian Pacific inaugurated wartime transatlantic bomber delivery flights in 1940 and
many of its pilots later flew four years with the Ferry Command and have since returned
to the company.
Operational and servicing headquarters will be at Vancouver with the C.P.A.'s domestic
overhaul work, now being carried out there, being transferred to Edmonton. Canadian Pacific,
experienced in trans -Pacific travel since 1886, already has an extensive traffic organization in
the countries the new flights will serve,. which places it in a position to start operations with
a minimum of delay and with no wasteful' expenditure of Canadian dollars abroad. Regular
flights will probably start by next summer; it is felt that an early start is essential if the
Dominion's position in the field of Oriental trade, as well as international air transport, is to
be developed. and 'maintained. From Vancouver to Sydney, by way of Honolulu, Canton Island
and Fiji is 7,865 miles, and the Great Circle route Vancouver-Kodiak-Shemya Island -Tokyo-
ShenghatHong Kong is 6,555 miles. New Zealand will be served with a' branch service joining
the through Vancouver -Sydney route at Fiji.

HANDS AT WORK... for ONTARIO
ONTARIO'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 Trovince, we all are
more assured of job security . . and we and our children can have more of the,
better things in life. 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 trainedto, provide the skilled hands so needed by Ontario
industry. They receive ON THE JOB training under expert instructors in our
'Ontario' factories.
'This training,rovided through the co-operation of the' Department of Veteraias'"
Affairs, the Federal Department of Labour and the Ontario Department of Educe -
tion starts' veterans on the road' to skilled craftsmanship. Taught to use their
hands in such jobs as routing, etching,: stripping, burnishing and finishing, they
will eventually become photo engraving craftsmen. Because of the increasing im-
portance of this trade, every effort of these newly -skilled workers helps to make
•Ontario a finer place in which to live and contributes to the welfare and happiness
of all her citizens.
