During the First World War when the flow of supplies from Europe was
severely curtailed, Canadian manufacture was stimulated. More efficient
factory methods were introduced, and the standard of technical skills was
raised. The productive capacity of Canada increased beyond all expectations
during the Second World War, and the subsequent rehabilitation of industry
has resulted in the manufacture of a wide variety of products.
The “Canadians at Work” series, inaugurated last summer, features Cana-
dian men and women engaged in manufacturing, agriculture, forestry, mining,
fishing and trapping, as well as in construction, the production of electric
power, and in transportation. The program is heard on Fridays at 2130 GMT.
