Victory ilvpends on a continuous flow of supplies and munitions to the many fronts on which tho Ynitvd Nations arc fighting. Tln- output of factories in turn depends not only on zulcquate supplies of mall-rials, hut zilso on the (‘oncertvml efforts of every mun and woman employed in our war Factories. Most vexing of all problems facing Canadian industry today is absenteeism, a tremendous obstacle in the path of all-out war production. There are two forms of élbSffiltl‘0lSll\—-li0tll involving the human factor. The f is voluntary absence from work without good reason; sleeping late, shopping", trips, long week ends, pay day cclchra- tions. ‘Fins is allisvntvvism in its most zippallinp; form. It shows utter disregard for the grave and vital responsibility‘ which must be accepted by those upon whom the fighting forces depend. In some plants, it frequently reaches 25 per cent; in others, it may go as high as 4O per cent. Second form of absenteeism is caused by illness and industrial ziccidents, both resulting mainly from carelessness and faulty habits, such as lack of proper food and sleep. Our fighting men have sweated and bled to take us this far along the road to victory. livery Canadian war worker should resolve that they won't be cheated in sight of their goal. The specially used photographs on this page show some ways in which emp oyees may unconsciously sabotage the country's war effort. The slightest slackening by any one may impede the efficiency of the whole machine.
