preview still rising the proportion of canadian households which am equipped with the various do mestic conveniences which are so priced in this modern age continues to grow apace the latest annual survey of such things carried out by the dominion bureau of sta tistics shows that 806 per cent of the 4u- million housenolds in canada had television sett in i9o0 compared with 745 per cent in l by last year too 911 per cent of house holds had refrigerators 867 per cent had washing machines and 962 per cent had radios the percentage of households with- an automobile last year was 666 per cent up from 651 per cent in idsv while 74 per cent had two or more the growing trend towards the uso of oil and gas for heating purposes is shown with 663 per cenfof households using furnaces of which nearly 10 per cent used oil and 136 per cent used gas two item included in the annual survey for the first time were power lawnmowers and outboard motors there wore just over one million power lawnmowers in use in canada last year representing 233 per cent of total households outboard motors woro owned by 73 per cent of households the increasing acquisition of such equip ment hardly suggests that canadians ds a whole are having too bad a time of it nfqualify is fheaim assessment statistics are sometime re vealing and sometimes confusing within a county it is the equality of the assessment which is vilar to insure that each town or township pays its fair share to the main tenance of county facilities it appears from the recommendation of the assessment committee to the county council that there is general satisfaction this year with the equality of the assessment base it is now something like 10 year since fialton completed a major revision in its assessment procedures to develop the plan still used in the northern municipalities a new plan however known as the dma manual is being introduced it is the expec tation that use of this standard procedure across the province will provide an equitable base for distribution of provincial grants eventually in the reassessment of 1951 mill rates were cut m half as assessment doubled thats why it s still impossible to compare rnnl rases across the province and come up with intelligent conclusions unless assessment is also studied burlington has become hollons highest assessed municipality carrying 39 74 of the county load trafalgar burlington and oakville together cover 83 79o of the coun ty expenditures leaving acton georgetown milton esquesmg and nassagawcya to share the rerhaining 1602v georgetown appears to bo the lone dis senting voice to the countywide introduction of the oaaa manual assessing base it is claimed they would lose a million and a half in assessment which of course would bring about a compensating rise in the null rate in the other municipalities there is go ing to be some adjustment but apparently nothing as drastic as that anticipated for georgetown we doubt if there is any particular honor in helton having the highest assessment in the province but it is significant that all the municipalities appear to agree mih the dis tribution of county costs and the percentage tney will bear this year time for optimism spring i everywhere time for optim um nd not leit n canada with its com ing the njional economy is now thowing rty tgn of the ucuji seasonal uptupkin the level of

founda tion for continued national growth all this of course is the stuff of whch jobs are maoe and the stronger the expres sion of consumer confidence the more jobs there will be this second quarter of the year as al ways will see a marked drop m the unem ployed totals as the tens of thousands of seasonal workers who have contributed so substantially to the high midwinter figures resume the labours vvithn the next three months on the basis of the usual seasonal pattern the unemployed figures will be cut in half a consideration which should be kept in mind when the as yet unpublished figures tor m are made kn la year the own that of last spring was not strong enough to overcome the impact of the con- linentwide recession which has persisted throughout the past winter now however is strong evidence to suggest that the onomy apart altogether from seasonal fac- tovs is ready to resjme its advance the special significance of this years spring upturn then is that it can mafk he beginning of the end of the recession pro vided that publ c confidence in the immedi ate future is not undermined the proviso is a v tal one for public con fidence is the great intangible to disturb it by playing up the bad and playing down the good m such a way as to distort the overall economic picture and thus promote fear and doubt where there should be none is to do both canada and the unemployed a greit dis service not so tree number of thos without obs fell from 609- 000 to 315 000 between march jud juoe the seasonal upswing of course does not of itself provide any enduring solution to the problem of higherthannorma unemploy ment- the rate at which the labour force is growing and the unskilled nature of much of the unemployment necessitate the application of specific and deliberate policies wheh can not be expected to produce results overnight even so any appreciable increase m eco nomic activity generates a momentum of its the announcement of a st f nrrt- m health
