Aircraftsmen and Politics

Have you ever seen the xvonderful craftsmanship and technical ability that young men display after a lew weeks * training in the "workshops at an Air Force .Station 1 ? By modern training methods and by the inspiration of skilful leadership, a lad of average education and intelligence can surprise himself in u few Avocks by his knowledge and ingenuity, by his handling of tools, metal, and plastics. Watching an aircraftman at work suggests a lesson that has a bearing on the policy of the National Party. That Party plans for the employment of -5,000 extra men in building houses, the Avorkers to be trained by special modern methods, so that carpenters, bricklayers, masons, and other craftsmen will be created in a l'ew months. It an unskilled lad can become an air-

craftman in a short xmriod, the average worker can become competent for the building industry in a few months also. The National Party is out for neAV methods and new ideas that will help lo provide a homo for every family—congenial jobs for all at good wages—promote good health and good citizenship—encourage initiative and free enterprise. The National Party stands for the Avelfare of all. Vote National, the party with Ncav Leadership for the New Order. —*
