Your Help is Badly Needed
MOTHERS ... Wives : Sisters ... Daughters .
here is your opportunity to help on the production of Canada's
food supply for next winter. The work is not hard; conditions are
pleasant; you will be paid current wages for doing it.
Thousands of those who formerly worked in the canning fac-
tories are now on year-round war jobs. If the abundant tomatoes—
the peaches, corn, beans, peas and other fruits and vegetables which
are being gathered from farms and orchards—are not to be largely
wasted, thousands of women must be found now to help can them.
You know how necessary these canned supplies will be this fall
and winter. So lend a hand, even though you can spare only tl few
days or a few half days a week. You'll enjoy' the work. And how'
useful the money you' earn will be!
You can be of any age from 16 to 60. You don't need any
experience or any special permit to undertake the work. So act
now-- don't delay.
Do This Now
Apply direct to the Superintendent of any nearby canning factory or see
the Agricultural Advisor .at your nearest Employment and Selective Service
Office for full in%rmation. i
