It may be the end of an eight- year period of heavy surplus wheat stockpiles. The wheat crop forecast Fri- day by the bureau of statistics would be 48 per cent below last year's 489,624,000 bushels and the worst since the 1937 disaster year when only 180,200,000 bush- els were harvested. The 10-year average for 1951-60 is 497,400,000 bushels. | The Prairie wheat crop is fore- cast at 231,900,000 bushels, less than half last year's 470,000,000 bushels. Other Prairie crops are reported to have suffered al- most as heavily, with the pros- Big Plans For Famed Old Bridge By M. MCINTYRE HOOD || Special to The Oshawa Times] | LONDON -- Contrary to the old song, London Bridge is NOT falling down. Ambitious plans are being made for extensive improvement to this 130-year- old structure which crosses the Thames. Before these plans are completed, they will cost some- thing in the neighborhood of over $4,000,000. The main section of the plans is a proposal to widen the bridge by 25 feet to speed the flow of traffic. There will be improve- ments to the approaches at both ends. At the same time, it is proposed to build a high-level ~ |pedestrian footway to link the bridge with the London Bridge pact of the ball apparently ended last July 3l--fourthlarg-|forced the chewing gum into the est on record--and said he is|youth's open windpipe.

The one thing that might do it is a "rapid increase' in emi- gration to the United States .
