Roblin Outlines Winter Works Assistance Plan
Premier Duff Roblin announced Manitoba 1960-61 winter works plan to cut unemployment. The province will pay 50 percent of wages for unemployed workers on Manitoba approved projects and 25 percent on Canada approved projects, with higher shares for social allowance recipients. Federal-provincial combined support covers most labor costs for those on relief, while the program runs October 15 to April 30 and expands to municipal buildings projects under Canada approval. Manitoba job totals rose from 265,000 in 1958 to 335,000 this year, though unemployment may persist this winter.
