Because the sale 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 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 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 of the world, creating new wealth for Canada and Ontario. Therefore every effort of these newly skilledveterans helps to make Ontario a finer place in which to live and contributes to the welfare and happiness of all her citizens.

West, 25, of Toronto, a Royal Canadian Navy veteran, is shown here making an adjustment to one of the 10,000 parts in a• business machine designed for a New Zealand firm.

It nd Mrs. seem to occur to. th _ rid Mr; often what we call go— .Pi" fortune is the result of in telligent planning. Astute men do not just sit back and wait for opportuni- ties. They improve their skills, and learn more and more about their field of. work, thus paving the way for opportunities. Some years ago a certain cellist in a noted symphony orchestra paved the way for his great opportunity by memorizing the complete score of an opera. When the orchestra's regular conductor was suddenly stricken with illness, the cellist led the per- formance with brilliant suc- cess. Today heis world fam- ous! Thousands of cases could be quoted to illustrate how men have improved their fortunes by being prepared when opportunity knocked. So why not plan now to put a knocker on your door? No one should rely on lucky breaks to provide a retire- ment income and financial protection for their family. These things can be planned now on the basis of your present income, through life insurance. Then you will be sure of your future. 79 Mrs. Adam Boyd and James Sim- coe returned to Gravenhurst this week after spending the past ten days with Mr. and Mrs. J. Howard.

Remembers Last Flight of Passenger Pigeons Last January a letter from Mr. William Murray of Egmondville was printed in The Seaforth News tell- ing about the last flight of the pas- senger pigeon over Ontario, which took place on Easter Sunday, April 9th, 1871. A recently -published letter from R. J. Dunsmore, of Wallacetown, about the same subject, will be of interest here. The date given in Mr, Dunsmore's letter (1876) is evi- dently intended to read "1870". "I was keenly interested in your article in today's Free Press re Gavin Green, of Goderich, and his recollections of the vanished pas- senger pigeon, 1, too, remember when vast flocks of those beautiful birds darkened the sun. "In 1876 I lived at our home on the Mill road, Tuckersmith township, and remember when people killed\ many passenger pigeons with sticks (where they roosted at night), as well as by shooting. I went out with my father one Saturday, shoot- ing squirrels and pigeons, which would figure in an immense pot pie for Sunday dinner for our large family. "One of the birds brought down had merely a broken wing so I took it home to my mother, who skill- fully :bound up the wing. In a week or so it had healed,' and "Pidgie," as I called it, became very tame and followed me everywhere that. sum- mer. One bright day in the fall, when the pigeons were migrating south, a huge Rock flew over, quite low down, and their calls attracted my tame bird, 'and the call of the wild was irresistible. Quick as 'a Rash I saw "Pidgie" sail gracefully skyward, without a b•acltawrd glance, join the great Rock, was lost in a wave of speckled blue, and that was the last we saw of "Pidgie". "The following Year, as Mr, Green relates, the last flight of the pas- stinger pigeon over :Ontario, took place. I remember it clearly. "R. J. 'DUNSMORE. "Wallaeetown, August, 1948."
