John Wyn has hue: appeared as Mr. Cassidy emphasized, however, that neither potential vendor nor potential purchaser should apply the changes in average prices indiscriminately to any property. Each property has its own features of location, design and con- struction which determine price in the market. Brokers and salesmen can advise clients, based on their ex- perience in this very active market. No property owner should presume to consider himself an authoritiative appraiser, based on a few average price figures covering all transactions in an area of hundreds of square miles.

The average price of houses sold through M18 in January was $31,486, compared with $30,719 in December and $30,890 in November. MIS in 1971 accounted for sales totalling $496,009,054 up from $3%,123,765 in 1970. Listing Service of the Toronto Real Estate Board rose in January to $28,694,771 from $26,576,988 in January last year, an increase of 7.96 per cent. A total of 881 units sold last month through Mrs, compared with 869 in the opening month of last year. interest rates is downward and the 8% per cent rate offered by some lenders will probably soon be the prevailing rate." On the revenue side of the ledger, Quebec and Ontario follow similar fiscal patterns which naturally are closely related to the national averages. Quebec local governments last year produced 55.3 per cent of their total revenues from local sources (48.2 per cent from taxes), while Ontario's com- parable figures were 51.9 per cent and 44.4 per cent respectively. Local debt charges in all provinces except New Brunswick and Newfoundland have been gradually decreasing in the last three years. The national average has moved from 6.9 per cent of total expenditures in 1968 to an estimated 5.6 per cent last year. The relative Quebec figure declined from 10.3 per cent to 7.2 per cent and the Ontario proportion from 6.9 per cent to 5.2 per cent. Quebec, however, remains the third highest province in Canada in this category of expenditure. more, with. than their Quebec counterparts on the lattsrtunctioets(tt.tper cent to 17.8 per cent) and on health, welfare and recreation (11.0,per cent to 3.4 per cent). Quebec local govern. ments, on the other hand, spent more than those in Ontario on education (58.0 per cent to 47.9 per cent), the provision of general government services (5.3 per cent to 3.3 per cent) and debt charges (7.2 per cent to 5.2 per cent).

All pledge money is to be turned in by February 27 and backers are asked to pay hockey players immediately so they can get the money to their coaches. As soon as the pledges are totalled, the Mayor White led the skaters off to begin the drive. The event went over with a minimum of confusion. A pacer led the boys and skated his 50 laps with the boys following. When the boys finished they had skated anywhere from 50 to 100 laps before another group of skaters started off. Last year $2,300 was raised and the number of boys who participated this year, compared to last, should see them top last year's amount quite handily. Approximately 50 boys skated at a time so they not only had a good skate but raised money for a won- derful cause. "Prospects for 1972 in lumber and building materials retailing appear to be most favorable." This was the view expressed by the newly-elected president of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers Association, Jack H. Sills. Mr. Sills, in addressing delegates to the 55th Annual Convention of the association, meeting at the Royal York Hotel, Toronto, soloist with the Boston Symphony. Mayor Phil White, Bert Robinson and the Timmy Tyke Tournament officials were all on hand for the cutting of the ribbon to start off the event. The 1971 Timmy was presented with a watch. A trophy went to this year's Timmy before the ribbon was cut and the Skate-a-thon '72 began.

A king size Valentine tor a king size good guy. That’- what the youngsters from Rooms 168 and 169 at the Ontario Crippled Children’s Centre think of their hero, Whipper Billy Watson. "After all," said 13 year old Ann-Marie Smith of Scarborough, “Whipper Watson has done so much for crippled children, it's the least we could do for him." The two classes got together and made the huge Valentine and an even bigger envelope which Ann-Marie presented to the Whip in his hospital suite. This will be the first Lumber's optimistic and conductor of the Boston Symphony, commencing with the 19tb74 season. As well as these appointments on opposite sides of the continent, Dawn is also conductor of the Japan Philharmonic in Tokyo. The February 22 cdncert is being sponsored by Uniroyal Limited. The new executive is expected to launch a detailed program of recruitment, organization and preparation for the next election. Yorkview P.C.s placed third in last October’s provincial elections and are hoping to put together a better campaign. To coin- cide with these plans, a new Young P.C.s Club was for- med a few weeks ago with Roman Wilk, 15, a student of Seiji (news is currently music director of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra and his contract in that city has just been ex- tended for a further three years.

Mr. Eakin succeeds Norm Ritchie to the post following a three year term in office. Mr. Ritchie was presented with an engraved gavel by Mr. Birnie Floyd, a past president, on behalf of the executive and Mike O'Rourke, provincial P.C. candidate during the past election, presented him with a desk set on behalf of the election committee.

Sheppard. in Ontario had noted a fairly substantial increase in business during the last six months of 1971 following a rather slow first half year. Mr. Sills expressed the opinion that with the Canadian economy definitely on the upswing there is much indication a healthy growth should be experienced at least for the next two or three years. He urged fellow retailer members of the association to plan ahead for an active, profitable year. He did caution however, that certain items of legislation at present under review by the government, should they become law, could have an adverse effect on not only the retail lumber and building materials business but on all business. He referred specifically to BilMM53, An act to amend the Canada Labour Code and the equally controversial Competition Act. He urged members to watch for these two bills being reintroduced and to be prepared to study them carefully. Mr. Sills is president of Arthur H. Sills & Sons Limited, Belleville, Ontario.

Parents know that like father, like son, is not a meaningless cliche, but a phrase that is true to life. Children do tend to take after their parents - fat parents tend to have fat children; smoking parents tend to have children who smoke, and so on. It is therefore important that we protect our children against the possibility of premature heart disease in the future, by setting a good example to them, and incidentally, helping ourselves. In the case of adults, the effect of efforts to reduce the risk of heart attack will vary from one individual to another, but will depend mainly on the state of their arteries. Obviously, the sooner such efforts are made, the more effective they will be. Recognizing this, the Heart Foundation stresses the importance of starting a risk reduction program in young children in order that they may gain the maximum possible benefits by slowing the process of hardening of the arteries. This is par- ticularly important tor male children. The Heart Foundation is carrying on a program designed to make everyone aware of these factors and to encourage each individual to eliminate them, even though a moderate change of living habits may be entailed. It is recognized that a con- scientious risk reduction program is no guarantee of immunity from heart attack. the chances of heart attack. While some of these tae. tors, such " age, sex and heredity are unalterable. others are controllable by individuals and offer an opportunity for every Canadian to reduce his or her chances of suffering a heart attack. we also know that scientists have identified several of the risk factors which ap- parently speed the development of coronary heart disease and increase become thickened and roughened by deposits he: usually been building up for years.
