TOTAL

Generally speaking, the ply-
wood manufacturers in the west
coast province had a favorable
year, and they look forward to
continued activity: at a high level
during the balance of 1950.

According to preliminary esti-
mates by the mill operators, total
production was approximately
314,000,000 square feet in 1949,
compared with 316,034,000 feet in
the preceding year.

At this time, it is almost im-
possible to make a reliable esti-
mate of the total value of produc-
tion, but it is pretty sure to be
a million or so dollars less than
in the record-breaking year 1948,
jwhen the official statistics indi-
|cated a production value of $22,-
| 480,000, compared with a seven-
|year average 1939-1948 of $12,-
896,000.

| As in.1948, the H.R. MacMillan
jorganization’ with mills at Port
| Alberni and Vancouver led the
| production parade with a total of
|120,000,000 square feet for the
|two mills, with Canadian Forest
roducts Ltd., Pacific Veneer div-
ion, New Westminster, the larg-
st ‘single-plant producer
| 104,000,000 square feet, the same
as in 1948, Canadian Western
Lumber Co, placed next with 51,-
500,000 square feet, an increase
of 1,500,000 square feet over 1948,

Largest single increase for the | |

year was made by Alberni Ply-
wood’ Ltd., the H. R. MacMillan
plant at Port Alberni, with a
gain of 3,000,000 square feet dur-
ing the year. Western Plywood

Co, produced the same as in the ||

previous year, 30,000,000 square
feet. J. R. Murray Ltd., did no!

Canada Has
Worst Record —

The cost-of-living index has
risen faster in Canada than in
any other country in the Com-
monwealth in the post-war years.
The United Nations’ Bulletin of
Statistics gives cost of living fig-
ures for 65 nations or dependen-
cies throughout the world. In-
cluded in these are eight nations
and two colonies in the Common-
wealth. Their increases from
1945 to 1949 were as follow

1. Ireland .
