Because the eale of every article produced in Ontario brings valuable dollars into this Province, we all are more assured of job security ... and we and our children can have snore of the better things m lib. 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 beeing trained to provide the skilled hands so needed by industry. They receive 011 ;'HE JOB training under expert instructors in our Ontario factories. This training,geov ded through the co-operation. of the Department of Veterans° Affairs, the edmxl Department of Labour and the Ontario Department of Educe - Oen, starts the veteran on the road to skilled craftsmanship. In assembling business machines, for example, veterans must have a thorough knowledge of electricity and must learn to perform intricate work on precision machines having thousands of separate parts., 'These Canadian -made business machines are sold in all parts 01 the wield, creating new wealth for Canada and Ontario. Therefore 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) LEARNING MACHINE ASSEMBLY' MACIU1 E ASSEMBLT John N. West, 25, of Toronto, a Royal Canadian Navy veteran, is shown here making an adjustment to one of the 10,000 parts m a business machine designed for a New Zealand firer. Various types of business machines are produced in Ontario fac- tories. Because of their in- tricate mechanisms it is es- sential that these machines be checked by expert craftsmen at every stage of their production.
