Despite
advances
in

the
number
of

in
Canada
Is
larger
at
the
end
of
1936,
the
Canadian
Welfare
Council
announced
yesterday
In
its
annual
survey.
The
Council
has
reached
the
conclusion
that
unemployment
relief
totals
at
the
end
of
the
year
will
show
an
Increase
of
six
to
eight
percent
in
Canada
over
last
year's
total
at
this
time.
Further
increases
may
be
expected
as
dependency
grows
in
the

lands.
The
unemployment
figure
might
even
run
to
twelve
percent
above
last
year
if
those
aided
now
through

projects,
farm
placements
and
other
schemes
were
included
in
