Then the First World War intervened, and im- migration dropped sharply, fall- ing to 55,914 in 1916. During the same period, emi- gration was heavy.

Of this block of 1,000,000, an esti- {mated 700,000 was natural do- imestic increase. Heavy immigra- {tion a few years earlier was cut lo a net 300,000 by U.S. inroads. It took an even seven years-- until May, 1928--to reach the next 1,000,000 plateau. Net immigra- tion in those years totalled only 150,000 people, and natural in- crease took care of the rest. After nearly six more years, the population became 10,000,000 in April, 1929.

Under these conditions, Can- ada's growth was stunted. It took seven years and eight months to| reach the 11,000,000 mark in De- cember, 1936. Then came the rec- ord slow growth--seven years, 11 months, to climb to 12,000,000 in mid-November, 1944. With the ena of the Second World War came economic re- covery, and the birth rate began climbing again reaching 28.9 in 1947. Canada had 13,000,000 peo- ple in Septemier, 1948--in three years and 10 months. A year later, Newfoundland's entry into Confederation boosted Canada's population by 345,000. With immigration cancelled by equal emigration, natural in. crease in the other nine provinces accounted for the other 655,000 increase as the over-all popula- tion reached 14,000,000 in May, 1951. It took two years, eight |months. Three months were cut from the time it took the country to gain the next 1,000,000 to 15,000, 000 in October, 1953. With immi- gration rising and the birth rate lat 28.5 in 1954, it took an even '2% years to reach 16,000,000 in April, 1936. 3 Lois Heddon was at the CROSSWORD P piano.
