Some crowding is reported in a cross - Canada survey by the Canadian Press. But in the nine provinces that participate in the system of federal - provincial standard ward care and diagios- tic services, bed shortages haven't been serious enough to call for emergency action, Only Quebec remains outside the hospital - insurance: agree- ments under which the federal government underwrites between 35 and 75 per cent of the cost of the hospital insurance plan, de- pending on local conditions, SPACE BIG FACTOR And the Quebec government seems to be warming up to the idea of joining the other nine. Where once it was openly op- posed, Quebec now indicates it wants to be sure it has suffici- ent hospital space before enter- ing the plan. In general, hospitald have been crowded since the first provinces began participating but whether this is due to an increase in pop- agreements, covering the cost of) Hospital Insurance Problems Minor experience with its own plan. It now offers broader coverage than the other provinces. British Columbia embarked on a provincial plan Jan. 1, 1949, that ran into early trouble with payroll collections. This system was dropped in 1954 and a three- per-cent sales tax was increased to five per cent. Opponents of the Social Credit government have charged this extra two per cent isn't going toward the cost of the plan but to cover Premier Bennett's "mania" for debt re duction, By the end of this year, about 11,500,000 persons of a total pop- ulation of 17,500,000 will be cov- ered by one or other of the fed- eral-provincial plans. This will cost the taxpayer and premium-payer about $350,000,000 in the fiscal year ending March 31, 1960, exclusive of the cost of additional services not covered by the federal - provincial ar- rangements and special provin- clal-municipal measures, FIRST TO SIGN Newfoundland, the first prov. ince to sign up for the federal- provincial plan, made it effective July 1, 1958 along with Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and Brit- {ish Columbia which signed agree- jments shortly after Newfound- {land. | {000 and the federal government Ontario is financing its plan partly from the provincial treas- ury and partly from monthly pre- miums of $2.10 for single persons and $4.20 for heads of families, Registration now covers 5,406,285 persons, about 92 per cent of the 5,900,000 population. Manitoba also adopted the monthly premium system, levy- ing $2.05 from single persons and $4.10 from heads of families, to help pay the province's $15,500,- 000 share of first-year cost. The federal contribution is $11,500, | However, the premium won't cover the full cost of Manitoba's share and an estimated $3,000,- 000 will come from the prov- ince's consolidated revenue fund. About 865,000 persons of 874,000 eligible are covered. Saskatchewan's more elaborate plan includes basic standard ward and diagnostic services, emergency out - patient treat- ment, x-rays, special drugs, oper- ating-room costs' and anaesthet- ics. In 1958, the cost was $27,822,- |contributed about $11,000,000 or 140 per cent. To pay the shot, Saskatchewan earmarks one per cent of the pro- vincial three-per-cent sales tax for the hospital plan and levies personal taxes of $35 a vear for Gaitskell LONDON (CP)--For almost the first time, Hugh Todd Naylor Gaitskell is getting a good press. He must be pinching himself, Ever since he was elected leader of Britain's Labor party in Dec- ember, 1955--by the biggest ma- jority in the party's history--he has been aware of an undertow of criticism, Even within his own party, he had to contend with doubts, res- ervations and outright sniping. He might be all very well as No. 2 man, critics said, but not so good as a leader. "He would be all right as a housemaster but he hasnt the stuff to be headmaster," was a thought expressed by those who would have preferred to see tem- pestuous Aneurin (Nye) Bevan at the helm. NOW IN CONTROL But Gaitskell, persistently underrated, succeeded in taming Bevan. He now is undisputed leader. The man who has been called "Bunny" because of the prim set of his lips, and was dubbed "Bathless Gaitskell" af- ter an innocent reference to the fact that he doesn't take many hot baths, has won reluctant acquiescence from an unruly left wing. Like Prime Minister Macmillan, his principal rival in Thursday's election, Gaitskell was expen- sively educated by a private prep school, Winchester and New Col- lege, Oxford. FA Like Macmillan, his interests Wins Praise At Last friends Roy Jenkins and Tony Croslasia high-domed econ- omists. : His interests in politics began with the general strike of 1926. In the 1930s, he was active in the Fabian Society. In the Second World War he became closely as- sociated with Hugh Dalton, min- ister of economic warfare in the coalition government, and it is said that he decided to enter pol- itics seriously after an all-night conversation with Dalton. ROSE QUICKLY His climb was fast. From his entry into Parliament until his election as party leader in 1955, just 10 years and five months elapsed. There is no parallel in British politics. His four years as leader have been worrying omes. Labor's re current "'death wish" --its prone- ness to public quarrels -- kept Gaitskell as busy as a doctor in an understaffed surgery. Though he is only 53, his once dark and curly hair now is flecked with grey, and his eyes seem tired. An Anglican, he is married to Dora Frost, a divorcee of Rus- sian - Jewish descent. They live with their two daughters, Julia and Cressida, in a big house in Hampstead, where Gaitskell does his own gardening. The demands of politics leave. him wondering whether he is a good father, "I seldom see my girls except on weekends, and sometimes not even then," he told a Canadian Press reporter recently.

PRINCIPLE ACCEPTED Little or no opposition is ap- parent to the principle of insur- ance against the hospital bills that eat into savings and earn- ings in time of sickness. What objection there is in con- nection with the hospital plan seems to centre on methods of financing which vary from spe- cial taxes to monthly premiums. Retailers in Nova Scotia com- plain about collecting the special sales taxes levied by that prov- ince. In Manitoba, where monthly premium is charged, 132 municipalities out of 147 sur- veyed said they receive few com- plaints regarding the premium method of payment and 105 sald the method is efficient. In Alberta, a few municipali- ties, including Edmonton, think the province should pay a greater share of the cost of hos- pital construction. In B.C. and nancing became issues in the legislatures. Two provinces entered the plan with a fair amount of experience from earlier provincial insurance plans. BROADER COVERAGE Saskatchewan began participat- ing in the federal-provincial plan July 1, 1958, after about 11 years' appears to have levelled off. The first six months of opera- tion for New Brunswick is ex- pected to cost $7,500.000 with the {federal government contributing |a shade more than half. A total 524,879 persons, about 90 per cent of the province's population, was registered under the scheme by the end of the first month of operation. {GRANT TO P.E.L | The federal government is ex- pected to pay about 55 per cent lof the estimated $1,500,000 it will (cost in the first year to operate the P.E.I. plan. \ Nova Scotia and Newfoundland --where the plan covers all per- sons--adopted differing methods |of financing. | To cover the $13,000,000 cost of its first year, Nova Scotia will Iget about $7,000,000 from the fed- leral government and raise the remainder through a three-per- cent sales tax on a wide range of consumer goods and a five- per-cent levy on sales of liquor, cigarets and other tobacco pro- ducts. Newfoundland will get about $3,500,000 from the federal treas- [ $5,000,000 first - year cost--and "cover the rest out of general re- venues. | In Ontario, the first year of {operation is expected |about $210,000,000 -- by far the highest of any of the nine par- ticipating provinces -- and the federal government will contri bute about $75,000,000, or about 35 per cent of the total. to cost {the provincial government had |been in effect three months. In |1959, the plan is exvected to cost {$34,000,000 of "which the federal {government contributes $17,000. 000. Additionally, Alberta pays out about $5,000,000 for capital costs, out-patient services to pensioners and administration. That sum also includes co-insurance pay- ments--the province's share of a per diem charge of $1.50 to $2 assessed against hospital patients to help finance the hospital plan. The province handles that per diem fee for certain classes of welfare case, maternity, polio and arthritis patients and -- for seven days--cancer patients. The province pays its portion out of consolidated revenue and payments by municipalities into the consolidated revenue fund equal 3% mills for 1959, This pay- ment is to rise to four mills next year. British Columbia expects its plan to cost $49,467,847 for the vear ending March 31, 1960 with {federal contributions making up 1$19,722,500 of that amount, or New Brunswick, methods of fi-|Ury--72 per cent of the estimated|about 39 per cent. The province pays its share from general re- venue except for $1 a day paid by each patient while in' hospital. The plan covers the entire popu- lation of about 1,400,000. In all provinces, members of |the armed forces, the RCMP and iprisoners in federal penitentiar- ies are excluded from the plans but are covered by the federal government, In these days of mounting costs, the house building indus- try looks to research for im- proved methods of constructing a house, and for new products which will do an ever-better job at less cost. Every potential home buyer in Canada has a big stake in the progress of such research, for it meang that a year -- or 10 years -- from now its fruits may be theirs in terms of better-than- ever housing at lower cost. Just how is research carried out in the house building indus- try? Ideally, in the field; that is, by means of actual h built ing land. Last year the Mark II was designed, and plans are cur- rently being drawn for the Mark III. FIELD TESTING IMPORTANT The aim is to test thoroughly, under actual field conditions, var- ious construction methods and materials. In order for this test- ing to be effective, it has to be undertaken with a completely open mind, without preconceived prejudices -- in other words, with a scientific attitude.

Sedov, chairman of the commission on space travel of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, is confident that "many of us will witness in our lifetime flights of human beings from one planet to another." Sedov made the statement dur- ing a stop-over in New Delhi on his way to Moscow from Aus- in various parts of Canada, lived in by ordinary families. And these houses incorporate new or unusual methods of construction and new types of products. In this way, it can be discovered exactly how effective and efficient are ideas which have passed the laboratory tests. This collaboration between the laboratory and the industry is be- ing carried out by the Division of Building Rsearch, of National Re- search Council, and the National House Builders Association's Re- search Committee. Two years ago these groups de- isigned a. low-cost, three-bedroom | house called the Budget Research House Mark I, A prototype of this dwelling was built at Hes- peler, Ontario, for $8,000 includ- an especially effective team. Manufacturers of building, ma- terials are vitally interested in this research program, and have been participating actively in it for over a year. Many of them have new materials, and new ideas for their application, which need testing in the field for proof of their effectiveness. Some manufacturers are designing special products to fill special needs. In this way the program will be instrumental in bringing new products onto the market | whieh will help reduce hause con- struction costs in the future. Because of the industry's grow- ing interest in the whole sphere of building research, there is a possibility of a special research grant will be made to the Na- tional House Builders Association Research Is Important In Home Construction under the terms of the National Housing Act. It would be used for construction of test houses in various parts of the where different climatic condi- ditions prevail. This interest on the part of the government is an indication of public concern with rising con- struction costs and the resulting difficulty experienced by many people in attaining home owner- ip. It has been said that house building methods have not chang- ed since the days of the mud huts; that in spite of new appli- ances, new design and improved planning, we are still building basically the way we built hun- dreds of years ago. And it's be- g very expensive indeed Many members of the building industry see little chance of real cost-cutting so long as we cling to these methods, What is needed, they say, is a complete overall of our attitude to tradi- tional ways -- a new look, in the modern scientific manner, at what we are trying to achieve when we build a house. Whether one agrees with this or not, it's certainly true that this basic research being carried industry offers us the greatest hope yet of achieving the stan- dard of home living we have set out by the government and the for ourselves in Canada. tralia. He said that the progress of space travel was no longer de- pendent on the future develop- ment of rockets, The science of rockets had already developed to such an extent that they would reach planets nearest to the earth. The main problem, said Rus- sia's top-ranking space authority, is to be able to bring the rockets back to the earth. He had no doubt that the problem was no longer "beyond successful solu tion." In fact, theoretically it had already been solved, but he could not say how long it would take to put'those theories into prac- tice, Sedov said Soviet scientists have no intention of putting a| man into a rocket as long as the| problem of "re-entry" was not| , Pickering, ZEnith 4-0850, (no toll chg.). | satisfactorily solved. - Downtown Pedestrian Mall No Solution For Montreal MONTREAL (CP) -- At least four Canadian cities are studying the possibility of banning motor traffic completely in downtown shopping areas, but Montreal isn't one. of them. "I don't know of any man who would have the nerve to make such a suggestion," says city traffic director Jean Lacoste, with a smile. The question arose after Tol- edo, Ohio, a city of just more than 300,000 ponulation, recently banned traffic in a four - block shopping area. There, the pedes-|it movi trian is king. Ottawa, Sudbury and Windsor in Ontario, and Vic- toria in British Columbia have been reported studying the idea. Mr. Lacoste believes that blocking cars from the choked-up Montreal shopping district is no solution, GREAT DEMAND "Our city is too big and the demand for traffic is too great for us to cut off cars from the downtown store areas," he says. "Siopping traffic is not the solu- tion. Ld, must find ways to keép Downtown streets handle - a flow of 18,000 vehicles an hour. But at rush hour 22,000 attempt to squeeze throu gh.

One alone will add 1,500 ve- hicles to the rush - hour traffic tangle. In addition, a new bridge is be- ing built across the 8t. Lawrence to the populous south shore re- glon, which will make it easier for cars to reach the over-bur- dened eity roads. 'Something to s will have By ROY LaBERGE OTTAW A(CP) -- Welfare lead. ers are beginning to mobilize people in rundown areas to solve their own neighborhood problems. "It's about time," says Ottawa social worker Bill Dyson, a Cana- dian Welfare Council official who works with 45 local welfaré coun- cils across Canada. The councils are voluntary or- ganizations through which gov- ernments, health and welfare agencies, service clubs and other groups join forces to tackle so- cial problems. Until recently, said the tall, Montreal - born worker, welfare authorities have been making the decisions about the kind of help needed in rundown areas. WORK OF EXPERT S For example, it was the experts --not the people of the area them- selves--who decided to build a housing project or set up a rec- reation centre, These things helped, but they didn't solve the basic problems. Even where recreation centres were built, juvenile delinquency often remained. And poor hous: ing continued to exist, sometimes close to tidy apartment projects. "Remedies just don't work un- less the people concerned want them," Dyson said. They were more apt to want them if they were called in from the begin- ning to help plan projects. Some areas have no active neighborhood » or On Welfare begin by encouraging people to form such groups. "They may have to start by helping an inactive church women's association or men's club so that it can develop lead ers," Mr. Dyson said. "It may be two or three years before these leaders can be asked to take a hand in some community pro- gram outside their own special group interest," TECHNIQUE SPREADING The neighborhood self « help technique is spreading across the United States after sluccessful trials in New York, Cleveland, Chicago and Philadelphia.

By PETER DEELEY LONDON (Reuters) -- Britain's 18,000,000 women voters will have a telling effect on the outcome of the Oct. 8 general election, al- though only 28 of their own sex sat in the last House of Com- mons. Even this small number of women MPs--including two jun- ior Conservative ministers--was a record for the 630 - member House since women were first al. lowed to sit there 41 years ago. In Britain's 35,000,000 elector ate, women exceed men by nearly 2,000,000. It took a long time for women to get the vote. Only at the end of the First World War were they finally allowed to share in the election of the country's govern- ment. Even then the vote went only to those over 30 years of age. At the same time the sex dis- qualification for membership in Commons was removed. EQUAL WITH MEN Finally, in 1928, women were allowed to vote on completely equal terms with men--when the age limit was lowered to 21. In the last general election in| 1955, 24 women were elected, 14 of them on the S ist bench U.K. Women Swing Vote women politicians 1s Dr. Edith Summerskill, a Labor party not- able, Although married, she still retains her maiden name in pub- lic life. She is a medical doctor. Conservative Dame Florence Horsbrugh is a former minister of education. Most women MPs are in their 50s. The youngest in the last Par liament was Mrs. Patricia Me- Laughlin, 42-year-old Irish house wife. The oldest was Viscountess Davidson, 65, a Conservative whe took over her husband's seat in 1987 when he became a peer. Miss Jennie Lee--in private life the wife of Labor's prospective foreign minister, Aneurin Bevan --and Lady Megan Lloyd George, daughter of Britain's First World War Prime Minister Lloyd George, can both draw upon par- liamentary experience going back to 1929. POST-WAR MPS But most women MPs entered Parliament at the end of the See- ond World War, Mfrs, Bessle Braddock, Labor, has become one of the most pub. licized characters of post war Parli not only b of her hard-hitting speeches but also b of her weight -- 210 and 10 on the government side. Since then, in 52 byelections, four more women have been re- cruited to British politics, two to each major party. There have been many de- mands for a levelling-up of the sexes in Parliament. But, out of about 1,500 candidates at Oc- tober's general election, fewer than 100 will be women. Those who sat in the last Com- mons came from various walks of life. In their ranks were teach- ers, lecturers, a barrister, a war- time ambulance driver, journal- ists, authors and housewives. Only nine of the 28 were unmar- ried.
