HOUSES The lack of proper housing is more of a detriment and menace than most 'people realize. In a period when Toronto had a record of 23,000 marriages, the number‘of new hous- es built was 3,000. In 1920 there were 70,000 weddings in Canada and less than 12,000 new houses built. Add to this the demand for immi- grants and Canada showed in one year a housing shortage of over 80,- 000. T here is a minimum need in EurOpe and America of ten million new houses to relieve the present congestion. In the cities houses that were built for one family now care for two, four or six. families. Many times a whole family” live in one room, work, eat and sleep there. Very of- ten th'e family live in a basement. There is not sullicient light nor air. Vt ater and toilet facilities are lack- ing and health is seriously men nnced.

Fart of the trouble we face in the cities to-day is uncertain tenure and high rent. Add to that the loss of a job and the result means seriOus un- rest and fhe grow h of the Bolshe- Vistic spirit. It is :1 proble mof na- tional importance to pronerly house every family and give every man some kind of a chance. to own his own home. If a municipality were to guarantee the bonds for building a working man’s house then the whole municipalitywould have a new interest in the man, his charac- ter and conduct, and especially in his steady employment. There would be deveIOped a better community Spirit where each would think of all and all of each. For thes ake of the national health, for the sake of the children and their moral upbringing, for the sake of social, economic and politi- cal stability, we ought to set before us the ideal: one family in one house and every man to own his home. .
