SUBURBIA, LEFT, GIVES WAY TO MODERN APARTM New Apartments Stop Flow T By BRUCE LEVETT Canadian Press Staff Writer The trend to the suburbs, which probably began when man first was nagged into giv- ing up his cave for an airy skin tent, has come full circle. Lots of people still are mov- ing toward the light and air at the end of the bus line, but a Cross-Canada Survey shows that a reverse trend is shaping up.

They include views of Quebec, Montreal and Niagara by Lt.- Gen. Henry William Barnard, KCB (1799-1857). One shows the ships carrying the Brigade of Guards up the St. Lawrence. Another shows the Guards' camp in the Citadel at Quebec. Also in the sale is a 'Pictorial Record of a Tour Through Can- ada" by Arthur Elliott, done in 1881 and 1882. This is a collec- tion of maps, tickets, menus, early photographs and water- colors, Two lots from the collection of Sir Hector Lethbridge are de- scribed by the Bond Street auc- tion house as particularly inter- esting from a historical angle. These are a watercolor view of Kingston, Ont., in 1850 and a set of three watercolors of moose and Indian hunters. The signature on the water- colors is Bessau but an art au- chase price of a new house, while the maximum mortgage CMHC will cover on an older home is 60 per cent of its value. S. D. H. Reid, director of ed- ucation for the Toronto Real Estate Board, offers another suggestion: Older families move to the suburbs when immigrants settle in their part of the city. {He said New Canadians, who tend to settle in national groups, choose a church and move into homes around it. Some of the original families apparently can't adjust. But Mr. Reid says the trend away from the suburbs per- | sists. | "Some couples give up after |five or six years, tiring of the lack of amenities and transpor- tation problems in the out- skirts." Then they do their split-level best to move back to the cities. Despite this, houses and ap- artment blocks still are being planned for thousands expected to move away from the cities. Louis Mayzel is a partner in one scheme at Falgarwood Hills in Oakville, just west of Toronto. There, 5,200 houses are going up in three subdivisions, cover- ing 2,000 acres of residential, industrial and commercial land. Of these, 4,000 will be in the $15,000 to $20,000 range; 1,200 a|will be in the executive range of $20,000 to $35,000. "I don't like to think about it when it gets that high," Mr. Mayzel said when asked what the total cost will be. His esti- mate is $110,000,000. Falgarwood is the largest of thority in Montreal suggests they may have been done by Alfred Boisseau, born in Paris in 1823. Boisseau went to Louis- jana in 1848 and later to Can- ada. He died in Buffalo, N.Y,, in 1901. several such projects in the Tor- onto area. Spokesmen say there was a general slowdown in Canadian house-building during the latter half of last year. The industry picked up, however, after the National Housing Act was amended in December. The NHA changes reduced the down-payment on a new house by allowing a purchaser to bor- row 95 per cent instead of 90 per cent of the first $12,000. This means a down-payment is cut to $600 from $1,200. The maximum loan was in- creased to $14,200 for a house with fewer than three bed- rooms; $14900 for one with more than three. The previous maximum was $12,800. And now a person has up to 35 years to pay, which means smaller monthly payments. Pre- viously the limit was 30 years with the accepted average 25 years. For the first two months of 1961, says the CMHC, NHA-ap- proved loans across Canada totalled 6,421--compared with 633 during the same period last year, This is an increase of more than 900 per cent. Despite the signs that a grow- ing number of persons are for- saking the suburbs for the cities, real estate men say, most of that whopping increase will end up in Outlying Acres. By DOUG MARSHALL Canadian Press Staff Writer LONDON (CP) -- Parliament reassembled for its summer ses- sion this week with government members edging uneasily into their seats like schoolboys fac- ing a stiff orals exam. One trouble is they cannot agree on the answers. This session, with its hot weather and frayed tempers, is normally difficult for any gov- ernment. But with the prospect of a major showdown on such enduring issues as the Common Market and African policy, the Conservatives may be in for the worst spell they have had so far. Most disturbing for Prime Minister Macmillan is the rebel action on the right and left wings of his own party. In the background the old guard is still quietly protesting the govern- ment's handling of the situations in Kenya and the Rhodesia Fed- eration. Earl Winterton has resigned from the presidency of the Hors- ham Conservative Association as a protest against some as- pects of the government's Afri: important, he seems incapable of coming to any hard and fast decision about Britain's entry into the Common Market formed by Germany, France, Italy and the Benelux coun- tries. Yet commentators here are inclined to play down the ob- vious differences within the Tory ranks. In the absence of any serious challenge from the Labor party, Conservative mem- bers are enjoying a sense of widening freedom they have not experienced in the past. Meanwhile Labor members are content to watch from the sidelines as the government grapples with the difficult, far- reaching and irrevocable decis- ions on the Common Market. Socialists themselves are at odds on this issue and opinion has divided along non - party lines. Many Labor members have joined the campaign in favor of Britain's joining the economic community, But some Socialist leaders share the apprehension expressed by those Conserva- tives opposed to such a develop- ment. British Parliament Stuck For Answers on the Common Market has de. veloped between Canada, Aus- tralia and New Zealand on the one hand and the Asian and Africa members of the Common- | wealth on the other. The old Dominions, with New Zealand taking the lead, are worried about Commonwealth trade preferences and the dan- ger of uniting Europe and the risk of dividing the Common- wealth. The Nigerians, Indians and others are prepared to give Britain the green light. Behind the opposition from the white Commonwealth, how- ever, there is a general feeling . of inevitability al Britain's joining the Six. wealth remains as a major stumbling block to such a unity. At a three-day meeting of sen- jor Commonwealth officials re- cently Britain promised no move would be made to join the Common Market until Common: wealth trade matters are further discussed.
