Early predictions this year forecast a cut of 70 percent of building in the mushrooming To- ronto area. In Western Ontario, the experts see a 30 percent cut. Meal building men, however, aren't inclined to agree with this latter figure. One manufacturing firm, which wholesales building material, quotes its salesmen as saying the year looks bigger than ever. His optimism is based on the number of inquiries he's bandied so far this year. Judging by the number . of building permits applied for. in 1957, there may .not be too much construction activity in Exeter this spring.

Check 'These Pointers On Budding -,Program Thinking abeut Wilding a home? 'Then .check these five steps toward home ownership. You'll. find them helpfulz 1. Select Your Site It's wise to decide first of all where yotere .going to live—the. community and the site Itself.. The site will influence many de - about the house—even its dimensions and room layout. You inay want • a plan that takes advantage of a particular view, exposure, 'sloe,. or the location of trees, (a) Zoned for residential building only? p (b) School s, transporta- tion, shopping center, church locations meet family needs? (e) Check availablity of gas, water, alectricity,. sani- tary sewer (d) All special assessments and taxes paid? (e) Have title search and survey made • (f) Investigate' local build- ing regulations 2. Decide On A Plan Now is the time to visit your buildingproducts dealer. If yours is to be a custom-built. house, he can refer you to an architect who specializes in home design. Or your dealer can show you a wide selection of home plans within the style, size and cost range youhave in mind. He will show you, too, the many types of building ma- terials and equipment available —the various Windows,doors, cabinets, hardware, flooring, wall and roof materials. (a) Plan meets size and cost requirements? (b) Is house design well suited to site? • LI (c) Examine samples of building materials 0 ' (d) Select equipment 3. Secure An Estimate Chances are you've had only "approximate estimates up to this pointA, Whether or not you have secured your plan through your building products dealer, it's a good idea to take it to him and discuss materials and equip- rnent. Your building contractor must know your preferences on these points in order to figure accurate construction costs. (a) Any changes to be made in plans? Make them now because it's costly to make changes when your s, house is under construction . (b) This is the time to estimate:additional costs, too, such as architect's fee (if any), fill for lawn, shrubbery and grass seed, storm win- dows (if any), etc. This Week In Thames Road By MRS.

Rumour has it that the Canadian government might open the Canadian border to U.S. fresh dressed pork. If Mr. Gardiner as Minister of Agriculture permits this rumour to become a fact we are indeed in the position where Canadian pork prices will ride the floor in order to compete with Ameri- can pork in dollars and cents. Is organization the answer to all these problems—it could be if it had teeth. But politics to us is just plain hoss-tradin'. The statement Mr. Harris made is (and we don't give a darn who wins—they're both good chaps) merely a political statement. Mr. Gardiner's subsidy to the Western Farmers (God knows they need it) could be the start of what is called electioneering. Just what is to become of our markets is a big question, Are they to be subsidized, supported or what? Costs are rising, and margins are narrowing. Our farm organizations in theory are the answer but so they are just a barking dog—annoying but quite harmless. DID YOU KNOW? There are two sides to every- thing. • Rural Co-operators Seek To- bacco Marketings Plan—say most growers dissatisfied.
