HOUSE BUILDING
DOWN AGAIN

OTTAWA (CPA) — The de-
cline in house-building activity
in cities and towns with over
5,000 inhabitants reached stag-
gering proportions in July. In
that month 41.5% fewer “starts”
were made in residential con-
|struction than were made during
the same month a year ago. The
drop had been noted earlier when
the total of May starts fell 20%
below the 1951 level.

A 63% decline in National
Housing Act loans was also reg-
istered in July. Government
tightening of credit facilities for
home building was blamed for
much of the slow-down. These
credit curbs, like those affecting
auto sales, are part of the Lib-
eral “short of controls” anti-
inflation program.

LESS MILK
USED NOW

OTTAWA (CPA)—Added evi-
dence that Canadian living” stan-
dards are dropping in the face
of higher living costs is supplied
by federal statistics on the con-
sumption of milk in Canada.

In 1946 Canadians—adults and
children both—drank an average
of about 160 quarts of milk
apiece. By 1950 this had dropped

| to-an average of only 140 quarts

for the year, or little more than
% of a pint per day. Main cause
of the drop was not a change in
Canadians’ tastes or a drop in
their appreciation of milk food-
values, Prices had risen in many
localities, and high prices of
other essentials had cut the por-
tion of family budgets which
could be spent on milk.
