One of the most flagrant and most frequent lies is the claim that "big business" has been engaged in immense war profiteering. The answer to that is simple, complete and authoritative. Here, according to the Bank of Canada is the record of 678 Canadian comâ€" panies: * This summer should see an increase in American tourists coming to our fair land for trips and their vacation.

It is a program of job safety training, and the first place in Canâ€" ada to see it put into action is Kimâ€" berley, B.C., one of the largest lead and zinc centres in the world. For some time little groups of Canadian Army medical personnel have. been in the Far East engaged in research on dietary problems connected with military ogerations in the Pacific The Canadians asâ€" signed to this important work have been provided with the most moâ€" dern equipment for doing nutriâ€" tional studies in the field. The reâ€" sults obtained from their studies will be put to good use when Caâ€" nadian fighting men come against the Japanese enamy. “pT Job Safety If a veteran left a job to join up, he has a right to go back to it, if he wants to. If the veteran wants a new job, he will get all the asâ€" sistance he needs from the Domâ€" inion Employment Service.
