     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.
