.ME DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE FIFTEEN 0 LJ MISSPELLED WORD CONTE 'OSHAWA BUSINESS DIRECTORY MONDAY, APRIL 30, 1951 a ------ Home Building Logging Far Behind Canada's Rapid Population Growth Ottawa -- (CP) --- Another 800,000 new homes likely will be added to Canada's communities by 1960, bringing total housing units to 4,000,000. But even this big increase possibly won't fill the bill, Dr. O. J. Firestone, trade depart- ment economist who makes housing his profession, estimated in. an interview that about 477,000 fam- ilies are doubling up with others-- some because they are unable to obtain homes of their own and others because they prefer to live that way. i By 1960, he believes, the families in this category may swell beyond the 500,000 mark. The 39-year-old Montreal econ- omist is economic adviser to the Central Mortgage and Housing Carporation. : A graduate of McGill University with post-graduate work at the London School of Economics, Dr. Firestone has delved deeply into the Canadian housing situation for the last five years. His predictions and estimates are based on a continuance of current economic trends and on a nicely- rounded volume of housing facts and figures -- his latest book, "Residential Real Estates in Can- ada" (University of Toronto Press). This 500-page volume tells the story of housing right up to 1950. But what of the future? Case of Reasoning Well, Dr. Firestone told the inter- Canadia Living Under Ice With Antarctic Expedition viewer, it is a case of reasoning-- granted, of course, that in the next decade there will be no third world war or such a rapid rearmament pace to have the same economic impact as a global conflict. Up to the end of 1950, Canada built a total! of 3,200,000 homes. Sne is building at the rate of about 90,000 a year, By 1960 she might build another 800,000 bringing total homes in Canada to 4,000,000. But that's not the whole story. In the struggle for housing, the num- ber of families without homes of their own has kept growing. In 1939, there were 269,000 of them sharing accommodation with others. This grew to 371,000 in 1945. By the end of 1950, their numbers had reached 477,000--in spite of the fact that Canadians have built in the post- war period the largest number of houses in Canada's history. The explanation? Canada is un- dergoing a terrific rate of population growth and economic development. So far, housing simply has been unable to keep pace with that phenomenal expansion. How to cope with the problem? There's no way, says Dr. Firestone, but to build more homes. Canada is building at the rate of 90,000 a year, If, after the current period of adjustment to increased defence spending, Canadians can step this rate up to, say, 100,000 a year, then the problem, if not solved, will be at least arrested. Vancouver--(CP) -- Mrs, M. 'F. Roots has heard from her son after a year's silence--a diary-like pack- et of letters totalling about 30,000 words. Dr. E. Fred Roots, 28-year-old geologist, is the lone Canadian in a 15-man British-Norwegian-Swed~ ish expedition on Queen Maud land in the Antarctic. He went to the Antarctic 15 months ago on the invitation of 'the Royal Geographical Society and the Scott polar research insti- tute. He does not expect to leave for another year. In his letters Dr. Root tells what it's like to live in a "refrigerator" on a continent of solid ice. Mail comes and goes from the expedition only once a year in a specially-designed ice-breaker. The only living thing on the ice, besides the scientists from the three countries, are penguins and seals. Valuable weather data is one of the objectives of the expedition. The party spends days in sending up weather balloons; digging sam- ples from the lower levels of the ice with a boring machine, and photographing ice crystals in a lab- oratory. Interesting Experiment "We have a pocket-sized experi- ment in international co-operation," Dr. Reed told his mother in one letter. "Living together will work it out." "But out here the personalities involved have far over-shadowed the nationalities." ; The international group is under the leadership of Capt. John Giae- ver, a Swedish scientist. "He is an ideal party leader, wrote Dr. Roots, "socially on every- one's level, but leaving no doubt who is boss." The expedition buildings origin ally built on ice now are complete- ly under it. ° "Sometimes it gets so warm the men can take off their mitts," said Dr. Roots. The Canadian geologist was born at Salmon Arm, B.C. He is a grad- uate of the University of British Golawbia and Princeton Univer. 8 Farmers Borrow $63 Million During 1950 Canadian farmers borrowed $63,- 421,363 through 58,969 individual loans under the Farm Improvement Loans Act during 1950. The Act, which has been in operation six years, was recently extended by Parliament for another three years from March 1, 1951. Over the six year period of operations $170,054,- 703 has been borrowed and the sum of $96,681,408 had been repaid at December 31, 1950, which is equiva- lent to 56.8 per cent of the total amount lent. During this period only 35 claims amounting to $19,660 were made under the Government guarantee. Farm Implements and Trucks As in the previous five years loans for the purchase of farm imple- . ments and farm trucks represented the greatest volurge of lending under the Act during 1950 and amounted to $58,391,635. About 45 per cent of all tractors, 64 per cent of all combines nad 50 per cent of all threshers purchased in Canada last year were financed under the Farm Building Farm building loans amounted to $2% million for the year. Construc- tion of 511 new farm homes was done with assistance of loans amounting to $797,648. An amout of $754,835 was borrowed for the erec- tion of 650 new farm bujidings such #8 barns and sheds. In addition 967 loans amounting to $849,826 were made during the year for the alter- ation and repair of farm homes and buildings. This includes the instal- lation of plumbing systems and cen- tral heating equipment, Purchase of Livestock Loans numbering 1,805 and total- ling $1,483,474 were made for the purchase of livestock. Most of these were made to operators of small farms purchasing milch cows and registered breeding stock. Clearing and Breaking Land Since the inception of the Act in 1945, 6,864 loans have been made to the amount of $2,833,180 for clearing and breaking new land for cultivation. The majority of these loans were concentrated in the northern sections of Alberta and Saskatchewan where settlers are de- veloping new agricultural areas. The lending by provinces in 1950 was: British Columbia, 1,693 loans, $1,709,994; Alberta, 17,161 loans, $18,508,716; Saskatchewan, 20,090 loans, $22,557,445; Manitoba, '17,712 loans, '$8,263,981; Ontario, 7,194 loans, $8,043,839; Quebec 3,003 loans, $3,097,204; New Brunswick, 348 loans, $358,755; Nova Scotia, 340 loans, $274,204; Prince Edward Isl- and, 706 loans, $605,518; Newfound- land, 2 loans, $966. Loans under FILA are made for a variety of purposes around the farm and may be obtained for vary- ing periods depending upon the amount borrowed and the purpose for which the loan was obtained. The maximum of an individual loan is $3,000 and it is repaid at five per cent interest. All FILA loans are made through the chartered banks of Canada. Any farmer interested in borrowing under the Act should talk the mat- ter over with his local bank man- ager.
