Canadian Women Lead World In Making Munitions

Women workers of Canada hold down the jobs of their men who have been called to war. Here in the world's largest munitions plant eighteen thousand French-Canadian women are breaking all records in the manufacture of ammunition. Every day they turn out bullets by the millions; bullets for rifles, automatics and machine guns.

The factory operates its own kitchens. Employs experienced housewives to help prepare nourishing home cooked food. In the lunchroom, fifteen hundred girls are fed in fifteen minutes.

Back to work where eighteen pounders are checked before shipment and every day they test the quality of their work with point blank fire on the proving grounds.
