Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Rising unemployment figures are posted on a Toronto billboard by workman Chris Hansen while Opposition leader Robert Stanfield - on nationwide tour to publicize unemployment problem-stands near poster at Yonge and Heath Sts. yesterday. The other side of sign shows outdated cost-of-living statistic; unchanged despite recent dip. A Conservative party spokesman said the drop has had no significant impact on people similar to the climb in unemployment; and it would cost too much to adjust both the figures.
