In Holland, as in Great Britain, considerable importance is at- tached to effective housing in- spection and to the enforcement of regulations concerning the up- keep of dwellings. The Amsterdam housing depart- ment employs 15 specially-trained women estate managers who do social work and carry out inspec- tions. In Sweden, too, the inspec- tion of dwellings for structural defects is done by a specially qualified staff of women. Staff of Inspectors In Stockholm, Sweden, the health department maintains an isolation home containing 40 beds, which is used mainly when dwell- ings need fumigating. And in Am- sterdam a special block of flats is used for the education of peo- ple who have proved to be unsat- isfactory tenants. In Rome, Florence and Venice, in special municipally-owned "ho- tels" cheap accommodation is pro- vided for families which are con- sidered unsatisfactory as tenants for new dwellings. Private Baths Not Common In Sweden there has been diffi- culty in inducing the people to accept more roomy homes, because the climate and long habit have made them more comfortable when crowded into small rooms. Even in the homes of professional peo- le it is common to see a bed in the living-room. The only form of bath provided in many of the continental hous- ing schemes is a shower bath, the public bathing pools being re- garded as meeting the general needs. As for equipment, there seems to be a dislike, in European countries, of the small workshop type of kitchen, the kitchen-liv- ingroom being preferred.

This year the Canadian National Exhibition is celebrating its Diamond Jubilee. For sixty years this great organization has functioned without interruption and has in that time increased in scope, magnitude and prestige. In 1879 it was little more than a country fair with its influence barely extending to the boundaries of the Province of Ontario. Today it is acknowledged to be the world's largest annual exposition with a world-wide influence and which draws visitors from the four corners of the globe, Basic Industry, Agriculture The Canadian National Exhibi- tion was originally an agricultural influence has vastly since those agriculture in the activities of the Canadian National Exhibition is still of major importance. This year throughout every field of the basic industry greater activity fis evinced than ever before and the thousands of entries in all sections are expected to eclipse all previous years. British Government Interested The growing importance of the Dominion of Canada in the indus- trial and commercial world is this year emphasized in greater degree than ever. In the International Building will be found the displays of six European countries, the larg- est representation the Exhibition has ever had. In the Governments Building the overseas dominions of the British Empire are again all represented, as 1s the eastern group of the British West Indies. The importance attached by the British government to the Canadi- an National Exhibition is exempli- fied this year in the fact that it has, through the Department of Overseas Trade, taken over a com- plete building known as the United Kingdom Pavilion to house a huge Maple Leaf Stadium prestige display illustrative of the vast progress in British transporta- tion and communications down through the years. For Lovers of Art, Music The Art Gallery, always a focal point for lovers of beauty, is more interesting than ever. The famous Art galleries of Great Britain have contributed many beautiful and fa- mous paintings to this year's show, not only from the brushes of con- temporary British painters but also many old masterpieces. Sculpture is represented by the works of Ep- stein and Frank Dobson. Lovers of music have many a rare treat in store this year for the musical presentations are indeed numerous. - Heading the list is the band of the Royal Artillery frdm England, over seventy strong. This band is unique among the world's military bands, in so far as it is also a symphony orchestra of grezt merit, as every musician can play at least two instruments. Then there is the Welsh Imperial Sing- ers who will be heard in concert at the Coliseum and on one gala night being accompanied by the band of the Royal Artillery. sohn Choir, Canada's premier choral organization will be heard in concert from the Band Shell and the Music Day attractions will be actually more numerous than ever before.
