LEARNING TAILORING
ONTARIO 'S productive capacity is the measure of her future
prosperity. To assure the important tailoring industry a prominent
place in the industrial life of the Province, trained hands are needed.
Skill is important in the cutting, sewing, finishing and other branches
of the industry. That is why veterans are being taught its various
requirements ON THE JOB, by experts. The transition from appren-
ticeship to permanent employment means higher wages,, job security
and better working conditions.
Through plans sponsored by the Department of Veterans' Affairs and
other agencies, hundreds of veterans have been trained in schools and
ON THE JOB. They will acquire greater skill with further training
and experience. Craftsmen of the future, they will have a share in
Ontario's progress—an important part to play in her industrial develop-
ment.
