of a recent survey are very interesting in the city of kitchener gruneau research found 75 per cent favored evening shopping the ontario survey covered rural areas towns under 10000 population and cities of those who said they would like to have the stores open one evening of the week the largest percentage was recorded in the towns where 788 per cent of those questioned were in favor compared with 644 per cent in cities and 748 per cent in rural areas rural areas comprise 269 per cent of ontarios population towns 124 per cent and cities 607 per cent its rather interesting to note that in the on tario survey 565 would like the stores open one everting a week while only 11 of those questioned wanted two open evenings in this district apparently the open night for shopping is on friday since the swing has gradually been along that line this change enables clerks to en joy a longer weekend and apparently adequate ly serves the public shopping needs vision of 1980 the increase of population during the coming quarter of a century will take place almost entire ly in urban areas and will make this predominate ly a land of citydwellers predicts a brief of central mortgage and housing corp to the gord on commission and reported in the financial post between now and 19867 the extent of our cities will more than double it is estimated that the niimber of new dwell ings to be built in the next quarter of a century will be about 34 million the annual rate of housebuilding will not rise greatly during the j next ten years but after 1965 there will be an ac celeration of building in response to the higher rate of family formation that will take place the expansion of canadas housing stock over the nexl 25 years will at current costs require the investment of somet 35 billions or more than the total value of residential real estate at the present time with that growth it would seem possible that cities are going to be mighty close together in this part of southern ontario or are we just going to be aji metropolitan areas on writing terms again for a long time news was scarce from russia and we lived in a vague field of doubt within the past week or two there has been coming to our desk and other newspapers in canada a new y series of information entitled soviet news bul letin its published by the press office of the ussr embassy in canada strange as it may seem the news it contains doesnt seem as inter esting as when such a source was out of reach wouldnt be a bit surprised if in a few weeks we woyjd be tossing it along with the information we get from india japan and numerous other coun tries the fifsf releases would indicate the same pattern t is very difficult to get deeply interested in the problems of folks so far away when there are so many- topics here atiiome with- whiefrwe are- more familiar its nice however to know that we are again becoming intimate enough to hear from a source which has been silent so long we trust it is the beginning of better understanding lets share the wealfh last week the ontario government announced a most encouraging budget and showed revenues well in excess of expenditures however there were no tax changes the week following premier frost and all the provincial premiers went to ot tawa for a very brief conference it was briefer than anticipated and terminated when the pro vinces were told the federal offer was final on the division of taxes j weve read comments that have been report ed following4he brief conference it seems thai everybodys wrong they were wrong before and theyll be wrong in the future the part that is interesting us and hundreds of other ordinary folks who work to produce com modities rather than jockey them from the public purse that we who have deducted at the source or some other place along the line these moneys handled by all levels of government do not bene fit from surpluses in ontario or ottawa and are unimportant and forgotten in these conferences the emphasis seems to be put on the level that will spend the tax funds seems to us if governments would call a halt to extending their services arid leave more in the pay envelopes it would be an appreciated trend right now we have a halfbaked health scheme being tossed about between federal and provincial govern ments if it can be judged in the light of past experiences the folks who pay the costs will be so wound up in government red tape that they really will be sick in the meantime a new set of offices and officials inspectors and examiners wilhhave been established that will increase the wage deductions lejsgel some of those surplus es back where they kjelong in the pay envelope as we go along with all our commissions and boards making enquiry and forecasts for the future one some times wonders if we are enjoying the present as much as we ought the fear of atomic bombs has given place to the predicted power to change weather and conditions in various countries by the diversion of bodwjof ivater the shifting of world populations and espec ially the changes that will affect canadians have become so enormous that it is difficult to keep pace with the present certainly the future needs some planning it must be kept in mind how ever that patterns for the future are often side- tiacked when one looks at old photographs of places in town it is readily realized that each generation has deviated far from the original plan envisiorted by their forefathers the automobile has changed greatly the type of roads we need today in contrast to the horse and buggy days it may be that our present day road building program will be rendered obsolete by advances made in air travel what 1980 will bring can be dreamed about and plans made but it is well to recall that even weather forecasts of big storms are not alwaystpredlctablet today the sun shines why rot enjoy it as we go along kmiih t11i1 cat vs camera provides an encounter thats likelyto lead to nowhere at least the cat

factories and office buildings literarly sprouting out of the ground in the last 10 years it might appear that we were beginning to catch up with construction in canada observes the fin ancial post but he forgets the enormous back log for housing created during the war the thou sands of families still doubled up he forgets al so that a very large percentage of our buildings are old still sound and in good central locations but 20 to 40 years behind the times in plumbing heating and lighting equipment there is a tre mendous field for major repairs and modemcza- iion here which we are only beginning to tap this casual observer forgets too that in public buildings roads schools hospitals churches court houses city halls armouries and such we have orrtystarted to begin catching up with needs above all however he forgets that canada is growing bigger and faster than ever before that canadians are more prosperous than ever before and that what may look like a record volurne of
