TRAINING CLASSES FOR UNEMPLOYED The Port Arthur Board of Education is now offering new training classes under Programme 5, Retraining for the Unemployed. This programme is financed jointly by the Federal and Provincial Governments. Training under this programme is designed to pro- vide the unemployed with new skils, to upgrade education; to upgrade present skills to meet job needs of workers displaced by automation and technologi- cal change, geographic re-location of industry, and shifts in labour markets. Any male or female sixteen years of age or over, who has been out of school twelve months, and who is unemployed is eligible for training. The variety of courses offered fill the needs of persons who have no skill and wish to better their prospects for employment; af persons whose skills are no longer required because of changes in industry; of persons who may require refresher courses on new methods; of persons who may wish to enter entirely new lines of work, or persons who work in seasonal jobs and industries and who wish to learn a secon- dary income occupation. In the Province of Ontario, over seventy courses are offered in academic upgrading and skills. In Port Arthur, classes for academic upgrading in Math- ematics, Science and English will be started in Sep- tember. A class in Homemaking and Homenursing will be started on Sept .8th. Skill courses in Welding Drafting; Radio, T.V.and Electronics Servicing; Retail Merchandising and Sales; Diesel Engines; and Prospecting are planned for the immediate future. Other courses will be offered during the winter months as a need for this training develops. The length of any course is consistent with the job requirements of the occupation for which a per- son is being trained, and could be from one to twelve months. All books, equipment, and instruction are provided free of charge. Students receive a training allow- ance for each training day that they are on the course. The training allowances vary from $5 to $11 per day, depending on marital status and location of the student's residence. To continue receiving training and training allowance, the student must be regular in attendance and must make satisfactory progress. Persons interested in training under Programme 5 should make a personal or written enquiry to their nearest National Employment Service office. Special Services officers of these offices will be pleased to provide detailed information on Programme 5 training and will counsel applicants on which of the many courses would best serve their individual needs. September 10, 1964 Many Older Books Culled From Library By INEZ McCUAIG Alan Pepper, assistant region- al librarian, spent two days here assisting the local library board in culling out-dated books. Some reference books and fic- tion which had not moved off the shelf for over ten years were discarded. Now there is room to as- semble the books in better order particularly in the reference section. Since the library in the past two years is well-used by high school students, the board has been anxious to arrange better facilities. Mrs. Bill Furlonger, Mrs. D'Arcy McGuire, and Mrs. Les- ter McCuaig worked with Mr. Pepper, learning some of' the ways in which the value of a book to a library is determined and when its usefulness may be considered over. The next exchange of books has been set for Sept. 25. An area conference is being planned for Oct. 30 at Quetico to which it is hoped each library will send its librarian.and a board member.
