building in excess of probable demand in any area then it lights powdertrain of discontent not least among those who already have built homes with government backing and see the danger or values being reduced com ments The Ottawa Journal CMiIc figures are reassuring for the time being at least Completed and un sold housing units at the end of August in Canada numbered 3730 inareas of 5000 or more population This was an increase of 25 per cent over the same date in l959 and it was noticeable that substantial number of the unsold hom es wasin the Toronto area where de mand for years was unsatisfied The surplus of 3130 can be regarded without apprehension even if it does weigh heavily in its areas of greatest concentration For the nation ass whole it is prob able that building in 1960 will prove to be lus than the total required The estimated number of new homes desired to meet the needs of new families and replace losses is between 120000 and 125 000 annually Due to the shortage of loan money earlier in the year and other factors total construction in 1060 is not expectedtc be much more than 100000 leaving shortage of 20000 to 25000 With homes being built at the rate of 160000 year as was done in 1958 and 1959 surpluses could be created When the rats of construction falls back to 100000 the extra houses built in other years willsoon be sold in most areas Consumer Plans To Spend For some months retailers finance companies and business analysts have been keeping worried eye on the some what cagey behavior of the Canadian consumer says The Financial Post There is now some evidence that recent con cern about the buoyancy of the consum ers mood is justified new survey of consumer intentions shows that the cou sumer is in an undecided state indeed Fully onethird

community togetherness newlyformed cannot decide Times have chsnge Merchants holler bad time Thlsnearmdjority voting for caution seems at first glance to in dicate that the consumer is in pessi mistic mood But before leaping to conclusions these two very important qualifications should be considered This is the first Cana dian survey of consumer buying inten tions There are no earlier figures for comparison and so there is no way of knowing whether an indecisive onethird is normal state of affairs or of assess ing whether the consumer has natural bias toward being conservative This survey covers the sixmonth period Sept 1000 to Feb 1061 Its obvious that there will be large seasonal bias for this par ticular period which wont appear in for instance the springtime survey Downtown

Comets gar cause bright trails in the sky and the fragments which may finally reach the ground are called meteorites Most met eorites which have been found have weighed from few ounc es to several tons The largest meteorite was found in Africa and is still where it fell It is believed to weigh 66 tons Several meteorites which were brought from Greenland is The Natural History Museum in New York weighed 20 tons and more Some fine specimens are to be seen in The Royal Ontario Museum including one which weighs several hundred pounds and which was found many years ago in Western Canada Meteorites possess the com mon atoms of which life and stars are composed There is ev ery indication that they are small asteroids that have left the track and collided with the earth Sometimes there are meteor showers which are quite spect acular They are the result of the passage of the earth almost directly through the debris of disintegrated comet Dozens of craters have been found on the earths urf ac which are attributed to very lar ge meteors which are supposed to have exploded on impact with the release of energy compared is to the energy of hydrogen bomb In some of these craters
