Original Toronto Star caption: It's cold work but it pays a lot better than welfare or unemployment insurance. These men are part of a force of 3;845 that the province will hire this winter for make-work projects; such as cutting down diseased elm trees; felling timber and preparing campsites for the summer season. The program is designed to help some of the estimated 146;000 unemployed in the province.
