ALREADY the pattern and pace of life in Canada have undergone a profound change. Gaps in employment are rapidly filling up. Some 350,000 Canadians who were unemployed before the outbreak of war are now employed. Another 200,000 are with our armed forces. Factories, which until recently were turning out goods for civilian consumption, have been transformed into humming arsenals, pouring out inâ€" struments of war. Night and day shifts have become the rule rather than the exception. But the peak of effort is not yet in sight. _ In 1941 still more factories will switch to war producâ€" tion . . . new plants will be established, thousands more will be employed. This rising tide of activity must continue until we reach the flood of effort when every Canadian will be employed and working to his utmost, every possible square inch of plant will be utilized, every wheel will be whirring in the race we are waging against time and the enemy. More men are working . . . working longer hours . . . making more munitions . . . earning more money . . . producing more goods . . . putting more money into circulation.
