That was what Central Mortg- age and Housing Corporation, the government's housing financing agency, reported yesterday in a re- view of major housing trends for the first 10 months of 1947. It | sald Increased cost of house-build- |ing in Canada would be reflected I in the price of new dwellings to the extent that labor efficiency and contractor's profits remain un- changed. The corporation injected the climbing birth rate and continued high rate of family formation in | Canada as factors in the housing | pressure. It sald the average fam- ily formation rate of 65,000 a year in wartime has been maintained | and there was a sharp Increase in | births which added to the pres- | sure of population on the nation's | supply of housing. The comporation found that com- bined costs of labor and materials used in house construction increas- | ed an estimated 6.9 per cent. from July to mid-October last year for | an over-all increase of 19.7 per cent | since the beginning of 1947. The lass, Jim Graham; assistant, | most rapid price increase since Mr. & Slemon ; primary class, Mrs. | 1917 occurred in the wholesale Forgett; assistant, Helen Bertrim; | Prices of building materials which Mission Band, Mrs. Winnifred averaged 20 per cent higher in the Trewin and Miss June Anderson; | first 10 months of 1947 than in the flower committee, Mrs. Cecil Slem- on and Mrs. H.

Open Discussion Anglican Church Report On Laws London, Jan. 16, -- (Reuters) -- Work of revising the Church of England's ecclesiastical law, vir- tually unchanged for the last 3: centuries, advanced yesterday when the convocations of Canterbury and York opened special i to discuss the subject. The convocations -- official as- semblies of the clergy of the church of England -- have before them new proposals by a commission set up by the Archbishops of Canter- bury in 1939. The cominission's report representing an authoritative draft of present-day working rules, procedure and constitution of the Church of England, was published in May, 1047. The present law dates from 1603. The report of the 1939 commis- slon contains 134 canons based on the 1603 collections, but adds that "it would be premature and unwise to ask for the, abrogation of all pre-reformation law mot included in the proposed new canons, for later experience might show that we had inadvertently jettisoned canons which are still of value along with many which are admit tedly obsolete." The Union of Potestants, a group of clergy and laymen in opposition to the present leaders of the Church of England, have, however, denounced the commissioner's re- port as "attémpt to Romanize the Church of England by the intrd- duction of Roman canon law."

FLETCHER Correspondent Hatmony, Jan. 16.--Wednesday night's carnival, the first event to be sponsored by the Harmony Welfare Association, was a real success, in spite of sub-zero temp- eratures.
