FOUR MAIN TYPES He listed the four main types of automation as automa- tic machinery, the integration of material handling and pro- cessing equipment, automatic feed-back controls and electric computers and date processing machines, Automation, whether one type or a combination of types, creates "very great problems" including the possibility of un- employment, he pointed out. "Some feel: unemployment should be left to the federal gov- ernment but I don't think so," sail the premier, He suggested that the provin- cial government should face up to the problem which results when automation and technolog- ical change create a demand for new skills and make old skills obsolete. The problem of automation must be related to a education, he emphasized. RETRAINING PROGRAM In co-operation with the fed- eral government, progress has been made in retraining the present labor force to qualify for new skills where there is a demand, "But we are only scratching the surface," he pointed out, and suggested that another type of training is best undertaken "Industry's role is one of great importance and there needs to be more cooperation between industry and govern ment before we can know what we must face." Mr. Robarts described the teaching of young people com- ing into the labor force as a "more critical' problem, and said new emphasis must be placed on technical and voca- tional training and new voca- tional schools.
