In the year 1959-1960 some 4,638 persons --.were- trained in. all of Canada. As a result of the increase of Federal contribution from 50 percent to 75 percent in 1960, the number of those retained grew to 38,439 in the year 1962-1963 This is a worthwhile program as unemployed, young and old, can benefit from the courses available and re-establish them- selves in useful employment.
