THE COLBORNE EXPRESS ?£ R£A<^*nFOR Tf/E HARVEST 5,000 ONTARIO WOMEN ARE URGENTLY NEEDED TO PICK AND CAN THEM Thousands of tons of tomatoes, corn, pears and peaches will be ripe in two weeks in the fields and orchards of Ontario. These fruits and vegetables represent Canned Foods which are vitally necessary to our Invading. Troops and to Canadian homes in the coming year. S,000 On tario housewives and other unemployed women and girls, from 16 to 60, will again have to assist in picking and in Ontario canning factories if these precious foods are to be saved, The response of these Ontario women last i year was all that averted the loss of much of the 1943 canning crops and a consequent shortage. There is a greater shortage of help this year. More women and girls are employed in munitions now than ever before. Many of them usually worked in canning factories in other years. They must be replaced. You will have to do your part in the next 12 weeks. Offer your services now. Give every hour you can spare. Ik Apply to the Superintendent of the nearest canning factory. If you Bk; don't live near a factory, see the Agricultural Advisor at your nearest Selective Service office for full information: Or write, phone or call in person at Farm Service Force.
