FOR ONTARIO Learning Business Practice IN Ontario the wheels of industry turn for the benefit of every single one of us. Our lathes, dynamos, drill presses, farm combines, tractors, business machines, etc. are producing goods and services which earn dollars. These dollars provide food, clothing, medical care and other necessities which contribute to our security and high standard of living. Every single one of us, therefore, has a very personal interest in the flow of a steady supply of trained'workers to industrial plants. These workers will operate machines which are important to our way of life. We should appreciate, then, the co-operative efforts of government, industry and labour in the field of employee 'training. In schools and in factories our workers, young and old, are given the opportunity to develop new and specific skills in every field of business and industrial activity. For instance,' every effort on the part of office workers' to become pro- ficient in, typing, filing, ,shorthand and secretarial' work,, will mean greater business efficiency -will help to make •Ontario a finer place in which to live and. work. THE BREWING INDUSTRY (ONTARIO) OO • OOOO •••••• Our Way of Life Rewards Trained Hands Ontario'workers know they can earn 'more, have executive responsibility and enjoy a higher standard of living in direct ratio to the skills they ac- quire and the way they make use of them. That's always true in a free economy -that's why our com- petitive system will continue to make Canada great and, a great place in which to live.
