UNION'S VIEW The union wants the strike to continue because it feels it is at dast beginning to hurt the big steel companies badly, Union President David J. McDonald argues that the companies refuse to make concessions to the union because they think they'll be blaming the steel strike. Ferguson laid off 225 foundry blaming the steel strike.

Smith had been asked to investigate the matter of the licence application and had met with Mr. Hepburn that month. "Mr. Hepburn had stated that the whole matter had proceeded too far to take any actioh in the way of stopping the issuance of this licence before his attention was directed to it.

Works Minister Walker Friday | amounced Central Mortgage and | Housing Corporation will approve| all eligible loan applications now in its offices but that no new applications will be accepted-- whether from builders, home owners or limited dividend com- panies. This means, in effect, persons seeking a new mortgage in the next two months or so must turn to banks and other private lend- ers--who recently have sharply reduced their housing mortgage| lendings. The announcement also said the government will move '"'very early" in Parliament's next ses- sion--expected to open in Janu- ary--to ask for more money for house-building loans. SEE FEW CURTAILMENTS Meanwhile, the government ex- pects no serious effects on winter employment in the housing in- dustry. The announcement said winter house construction will reach "a very high level." It will include 20,000 housing units financed by federal loans made in the last three months. Parliament last spring voted $250,000,000 to bring total alloca- tions to the federal housing fund | | to $1,000,000,000, All of that mow Water Covering Grain After Early Snowfall MEADOW LAKE, Sask. (CP)-- Water three feet deep buries some of the unthreshed grain fields. It laps at the doors of barns and farmhouses. It has turned the earth roads to mire, the fields to swamps. , There'll be no harvest this year, no feed for livestock during the winter, no money to plant next spring's crop. "I wake up in a cold sweat at| night wondering what can happen| next," said Bill Larocque, 59, father of three, "My land is all swamp, all m: reserve hay Is under three feet] of water." Mr. Larocque, a district farmer for 40 years, has 300 acres of grain and 40 head of cattle. His immediate problem is lack of winter feed for the cattle. Nor- mally, he grows his own fodder. Winter weather swirled into the Meadow Lake region in early Oc- tober as farmers prepared to harvest their best grain crop in 12 years. It left 30 inches of snow. Mild weather melted the snow and natural drainage was unable to disperse the water. The result was disaster for this town of 4,000 and the 900 farm families in the area. The snow buried 124,000,000 bushels of grain worth $140,000,000 in Sas- katchewan, but agriculture offi- y|cials agree the Meadow Lake re- [Bln in the northwest was hard- The unseasonal snowstorms, that hit almost all of the Prairies In early October and continued in|, some areas as late as last week, brought disaster to many grain farmers.

But Saskatchewan, particularly the northern sections of the province, was struck hardest. 1t has been estimated officially that 117,300,000 bushels of wheat remain unthreshed in Prairie fields. More than 85,000,000 bush- {els of oats, 60,000,000 bushels of {barley and 10,000,000 bushels of flax remain in the open. Here in the Meadow Lake re- gion 125 miles northwest of Prince Albert there are few sources of revenue aside from farming, Lumbering is the only other industry. Mr. Larocque has spe years building his small Shout ho ready, three weeks after the snow, he has shipped a number| of heifers to market because he can't feed them. "Isn't much use crying," he said in an interview. "Guess we'll sell the cattle bit by bit." He also has pigs, which he plans to kill for food when things really get tough, "Fve saved nothing," he ex- plained. "We'll live from day to day. There is nothing else we can do." The district agriculture repre- sentative estimated Mr. Laroc- que's loss at $9,000. Last year his farm yielded 40 bushels of barley an acre ard this year he says the yield would have, been nearer 60. Last year he bought good seed wheat, oats, barley--and sowed it at about 2% bushels to the acre. It cost $1 a bushel. This year his seed is lying on of (the fields rotting, He can't af- ford to buy more. |ing plans may be cut by as much {the hope the federal government Chest Score Home Fund Exhausted s See Cutback" has been invested--and all but $100,000,000, of it since Septem- ber, 1957. TORONTO (CP) -- A Toronto {building firm said Friday it will {probably have to lay off more than 1,000 men because of the ex- haustion of National Housing Act mortguge money. W. A. Hagon, spokesman for Consolidated Building Corpora- tion Limited, said winter build- as one-third in the firm's Tor- onto-area subdivisions. He said his company would not raise prices on its NHA houses and would continue selling lots on an owner-applicant basis in will make more money available next year, Spokesmen for the National House Builders Association and the Toronte Metropolitan Home Builders Association said Ot- tawa's announcement that the $1,000,000,000 house-building fund has run dry is a "serious" de- velopment. W. G. Clements of TMHBA said housing starts in the Tor- onto area are already 25-per-cent behind last year and a further drop can be expected after the government announcement. 8S. A. Bourns, Ontario regional information officer for Central Mortgage and Housing Corpora- tion, said NHA money has been committed for about 4,500 houses| in the Toronto area. He said there are more com- plete and unoccupied NHA - fi- nanced houses in Metropolitan Toronto than at any time since 1945. Even if money were avail- able, the corporation would hesi- tate before making loans in some areas. He disagreed with claims that winter employment would be seriously affected by the an- nouncement, Work will go ahead on the 12,500 finished homes Soviet parliament, President de Gaulle's suggestion speech before both houses of the the premier made mno direct reference tol, that the conference be held off until spring.

VICTORIA (CP) -- Provincial officials said Friday Mrs. Bertha (Mom) Whyte may run into the same difficulties here as she did in Ontario if she hopes to estab- lish a mission for children by merely registering it as a re- ligious institution. Mrs. Whyte, whose Whytehaven Mission for children at Bowman- ville was 'closed for failing to register under the Ontario Chil dren's Boarding Home Act, has indicated she plans to start a * Community C. Says new mission on 25 acres of do nated land near Nelson. But welfare officials have said there must be an application for incorporation under the B.C. So- cieties Act. If the institution in- volved care of children, it would also have to be licensed under the Welfare Institution Licensing The latter requires a rigid in- spection of the establishment as to its physical qualities, provi- sion for the care and safety of the children and the like before a iicence can be granted. Officials said they had never| heard of the 'religious act of B.C." which Mrs. Whyte was quoted as saying she hoped to use to start her Nelson area mis- sion. Commented one welfare offi- cial when asked Mrs. Whyte's chances of operating a children's mission in B.C.: "We are not orginarily too fond of big institutions for chil- dren," The official said the depart- ment had had no communication from Mrs. Whyte. But he said in view of reports that she hoped to establish a Whytehaven mis- sion near Nelson the department planned to advise her of the ex- act requirements of the law in B.C.
