Reo-,l Estate SalesRecord The value of real estate sales registered in cities and towns east of Metropolitan Toronto will show record total for last year in spite of a substantial decline in trans- actions in the second haîf of the year. A survey by W. Frank Real Estate Limited shows that in the first io months of 1974, real estate sales in the triangle from Pickering to Lndsay to Cobourg reached $340,851,870. compared to $300,356,930.00 in the corresponding January to October period of 1973. This is an increase of $40.5 million or 13.5 per cent. These statistics are compiled from Registry Office records in the local areas. "Although the number of residential units sold in the 10-month periods dropped from 7,149 in 1973 to 5,594 in 1974, inflation in prices ac- counted for the increase in dollar volume", according to Walter Frank, Presîdent of W. Frank Real Estate Limited. Mr. Frank estimated that average house prices increas- ed approximately 15 per cent in the first quarter of 1974 but declined io per cent in the last three quarters of the year. "Since then prices have stabilized", Mr. Frank said, "with a better balance bet- ween supply and demand." "There is a stalement between purchasers and vendors ai- thoughi properties priced real- itclyare selliing brj,,kby", Mr. Frank said. 1"Resîdential mortgage ini- terest rates, which reached a peak of 121à per cent last fal are declining steadily and gradually as predicted, and should slip to below il per cent within weeks", Mr. Frank calculated. "The availabîlity of easier financing could set off a bouse buying spree this spring which may start another round of infiation in prices", Mr. Frank stated. "Although new housing starts in the 8 cities and townis surveyed east of Metro declin- ed by about 20 per cent last year. there is about 2 months supply - or about 1500 newly completed unoccupied (vac- anthbouses) units of alI types - currently on the market. "IWhen this inventory, has been depleted, prices will increase because the costs of lanid, labor and materials is siralling upward at the rate of1 per cent annually", Mr. Frank concluded. in the CAPTA I NS LOUNGE A NEW ENTERTAINMENT POLICY!

Canada faces an acute shortage of skiiled technical manpower. The shortage exists at ail leveis - P. Eng.'s, technologists, and technicians. There does not appear to be any one single cause, nor does there appear to be a simple solution. One, of the main causes of the current shortage seems to stem from pre World War II, and the days of the depression. Worid War II saw a huge increase in the demand for skilied techaical manpower. The nucleus generated by the war, p lus the very high influx. of skilled technical emigrants from Europe, notably the U.K., in the 50's, gave Canada, and to some extent the U.S.A., the numbers required. How- ever the continudus increase ilu th gosnational product and produce manufacture, plus the decrease of skiiied immigrants from Europe in the 60's, now sees both Canada and the U.S.A. faced- with serious shortages of, skilled manpower in technicai areas. What can be done to increase the availabie man- p ower? There are basicaily four courses open to industry and a potential graduate. First - Industry can recruit directly from High School and provide specialist,, on-the-job- tainingt a semi-ski lied level . Second- Industry can recruit directiy from High Schooi, and apprentice tE graduates so that they event- ualiy obtain journeyman sta- tus. Third High School gradu- ates can enter Community Colleges and undertake study at technologist or technfèian level. Fourth - Graduates can compete forplaces at univer- sity and study for technical degrees. Each course of action bas its merits, depending upon the individual, bis-ber person- ai background, finances, and last but not ieast, the desire to acquire either a practical or theoreticai level of technical knowledge. Initiaily, in ail but the case of the university entry, comn- munity colleges play an im- portant role. Wbere industry recruits directly from school and provides semi-skilled training, Community Colieges run upgradin g courses at nights, or by day, if there is suificient demnand. Also, co- ordinated college and Dept. of, Manpower programmes can be started and individuals upgraded to skilled status. For appreatices, community col- leges can provide the balance of academic training needed to suppiement the skilled practical knowledge gained on the job. Here at, Durham we have the responsibility for training apprentices of-the. mould making industries and G.M. For those graduates who enter community colieges, there are manv'diviersified technical programmes to choose from, ail of which lead to formai qualifications as technician or technologist. Lastly, graduates of univer- sity find that as their careers proceed, the Community Colleges can provide further education in specialist areas which allow an individual to enhance his overali breadth of knowledge and expertise. Comxnunity College diplo- mas are now -a recognized educational level, and Dur- ham prides itself on the setting of high standards of technical expertise for its graduates. If you, as an employer, or as a prospective Durham student want to know more, the "Open House" at Durham College, February 23 and 24, will give you an qpportunity to find out for yourself what Durham can do, for you. Remember, Canada is in desperate need of skilled technicians and trained tech- noiogists. Durham College can provide that fîrst step.
