Box No. 25, Colborne Chron-mayl7c NORTHUMBERLAND NOTES HARRY BRADLEY Many people in this county have asked me questions about unemployment -- both seasonal, and as a result of automation in industry. Our seasonal unemployment results largely from winter weather conditions and hits industries such as fishing and construction. The Diefenbaker Government has taken positive action to relieve the situation. During the worst unemployment of the recession the federal government lengthened unemployment insurance benefits from 36 to 52 weeks, and also increased the amount of the benefits. Last winter alone the Diefenbaker Government's winter works programme provided 240,000 new jobs during the months of inclement weather. This programme has been expanded so that almost every capital project that a municipality may undertake is eligible for assistance with the federal government assuming 50% of the cost. , With regard to unemployment resulting from automation, the Diefenbaker Government has undertaken to provide $140,000,000 to the province to build vocational schools and contribute 75% of the cost. These vocational schools will provide the necessary training for our youth to handle the increasing numbers and increasing complexity of machines used in industry. At least two communities in our own county of Northumberland -- Brighton and Cobourg, are in the process of building vocational additions to their schools under this plan. These are not the only measures that the Diefenbaker Government has taken. It is expected that federal assistance to the shipbuilding industry will create 10,000 new jobs. As a result of making new mortgage monies available for housing, the federal government can take direct credit of providing almost 50% of the jobs in housing construction in the period 1957-1961. Unemployment in Canada has been falling steadily. In March, 1962, there were 246,000 more Canadians at work than in March of 1961. During that year 101,000 more Canadians joined the labour force, so that unemployment dropped absolutely by 145,000. In short, unemployment is dropping despite additions to the labour force. In a labour force of 6,454,000 as of mid-March, 1962, virtually 5,900,000 were employed. When released ,the Dominion Bureau of Statistics figures for mid-April will undoubtedly show that even more Canadians are at work. Unemployment is not going to be solved by shouting "national disaster" or waging a campaign of "gloom and doom". It is going to be solved by policies characterized by sound thinking and resolute action by government, labour and jnan-agement. At the end of December, 1961, our people had produced more, earned more, and saved more than in any year of our history. These records can be broken again under a government led by John G. Diefenbaker.
