*Canadian families wilI change their address, according to Walter Frank, President, W. Frank Real Estate Limited, a member of A. E. LePage Coast to Coast Real Estate Service and Employee Transfer Net- work; Walter Frank stated, "Can- ada's present dwelling stock is an estimated 6.9 million units and by using the current mobility factor as determined by F'amily Allowance statist- ics of 37.1 percent. approxi- mately 2.07 million households relocated in 1975 and about the same mobility -factor can be expected in 1976. (See Chart) The mobility factor range is further supported by, Bell Canada's '29.3 per cent Resi- dential 'Main Inward Move- ment factor for Metro Tor- )nto". This, factor range or per- centage movement is arrived at by dividing the 261,188 residential telephones con- nected (Residential Main In- ward Movement) by Bell Canada in Metro in 1974 by the total approximate dwelling inventory of 889,687 units, and multiplying by one hundred. The 1974 total dwelling invent- ory is achieved by adding housing starts to the 1971 census housing inventory fieures. Walter Frank continued "taking it one step further using the R.M.I.M. formula to include. the provinces of Quebec and Ontario, we have calculated the mobility rate to be about 26.6 per cent." "These national Metropol- itan numbers and mobility percentages can be'applied as well to other large Urban Centres such as Vancouver and Montreal. We can expect a 3 per cent annual increase for the coming year", he added. Another indicator of bouse- hold re-location is seen by the total moves handlled by Can- ada's largest van lines. 300,000 Residences Coast to Coast Real Estate Service estîmates that approximately 30Q,000 single, famhily owned homes, will change hands in 1976. "ICanada's population, is currently 23 million and is projected to be about 24 million by 1979. The mobility rate bas increased from once every five years in 1965, to once every three years in 1975. Population is increasing and people' are moving more frequently". Walter Frank attributes this increased ac- tivity to business growth expansion as well as political, social and economic factors. Some moves are known as corporate transfers by the real estate industry. "The Corporate Transfer, while not new, has become a force in theý last 20 years. Corporations recognize today's situation and have included a variety of -benefits in their Corporate re-location policy. Today's executive must-agree that moves are an intregral part of bis develop- ment and future progress and are in fact, terms of bis employment. Modemn business does flot consider a move as a temporary means to fi a vacancy".

Infact, an increase is evident due to a program of filling vacancies from inside rather than hiring new employees. Some plants and branch officeshave been closed or re-located rather than expanded and this furtber increases the -movement of executives. Social and politic- ai factors have resulted in some Canadian companies re-locating from one province to another. Forecast "1976 is proving to be an interesting and perhaps puzzl- ing year for Canadian people on the move. More mobility is evident with less industrial expansion. Wide market dis- parities in major urban areas with the exception of Toronto and Vancouver, high property prices, shortage of new bous- ing at moderate prices, a good selection of resales at a good price, plenity of funds at a nrire. inntprtain market price levels, demand.pulI-cost pusb inflation factors all combine to make the Purchase and sale of real property more and more complex". "During the next twelve montns, we at W. Frank Real Estate Ltd., forecast that the gap in housing prices between majo r Metropolitan areas wîll narrow, and is in fact already Book "There are too many books I baven't read, too many places I haven't seen ..." (Irwin Shaw 1913 -) A book can take you to places you haven't yet seen as well giving you information which may prove valuable or even vital. Twoe of the books here are in the category as well as two which are "just for fun" . Minimata - Eugene Smith and Aileen M. Smith Miimata is a photographic essay on, the tragedy of mercury poisoning. This was first noticed in the fishing villages of Japan in the early 1950%s nd has now been found in Northern Ontario. This book shows the -horrifying results of this disease and the lack of compassion shown by the large polluting companies. It is a book whicb hopefully may move us to take action in our own country.

However, the society is not expected to take any action on its decision until the resuits of an amena study involving all of the Town of Newcastle bas been completed, said Jackie Mathwick, secretary treasur- er of the society. The amena study is in accordanice witb provincial regulations that require a check-up for ail amenas in the province every two years. Wbether or not plans to build a new amena go ahead depends partly on the verdict of t h engineers wbo are coming, to look at the old Orono amena. "We've just got *to wait and see," Mrs. Mathwick saîd. She added that if the _study shows the old of Orono amena to be unsatisfact- ory, then steps may be taken to build the new one. or* Mrs. Matbwick noted that the old Orono arena (for wbich the agricultural society is responsible) is old and in need of renovationis. "We realiy do need a bigger one," she said. Mms. Mathwick also said the society would have to get funds together and apply for the necessary gants. According to a feasibility study conducted by the fimm of Totten Sims and Hubicki about one month ago, a new community centre in Orono would cost more than haif a million dollars. The complex proposed in the study would include an ice surface of 85 x 184 feet. It would have a seating capacity of 400 and in addition to tbe rink, theme would be room for community events such as dances. Three sites were consîdered in the study, ail of tbem in the Last week's meeting took answem session.

To arrive at the cost of a similar home in the new point of re-location, line up the two cities to determîne dispar- ity factor and multiply that factor by the current value of your present home. (i.e. Ottawa to Vancouver - 1.31 x Ottawa value of $60,000- $78,600.) To sum up 1976, Walter Frank feels the Canadian mobility rate will increase and by 1980 Caniadian familles will be re-locating once every two-and-a-half years. Coast to Coast Real Estate Service Division is one of Canada's leading transfer agents and provides profes- sional re-location specialists to solve and answer real property problems. The num- ber of corporations using this service has increased ten times during the last 5 years, it is expected that this acceleration wîll continue in the foreseeable future. Specific house price dispar- ity reports, evaluations, man- agement of vacant property, transfer tax information, marketing, legal liason and reporting are a few of the many responsibilities ad- ministered by Coast to Coast Real Estate Service. In addition, the service also provides information to industry such as labour pool, labour quality and cost, trans- portation, schools, shopping, taxes, municipal service, cost of living index, and econom- ical data for almost any Canadian requirement.
