CANADA'S FIRST -YEAR CENSUS IN JUNE
This yeetr, for the first time, Canada is to
Wave a nation -wade five-year census. There
Ito Afeen a quinquennial census in the Prairie
Pireerieteesesinee 1906 (in Manitoba sinee .1886)
istttuse o ',the rapid growth of population. in
U* new' Provinces, and now with recent great
grp l,Ftb. OE population. and the many changes
lee ileteluetry, agriculture and business in gen-
era titrC n bent the country it is considered
a tvable to inaugurate this mid -decade na-
tional inventory.
A smaller number of questions to be asked
by the census -takers next month, and a -general
einnOlification by reason of fewer schedules
ant attentions, will m :ke this year's census
mutth less expensive than the regular decennial
eon us. In the record of population there
will 'be only five questions instead of twenty-
nine as in 1951. These five questions will
refer" to age, sex, marital status, relationship
to had of household, and whether living on a
arm. There will also be an agriculture
questionnaire of 76 questions instead . of 203
in the 1951 census.
It is expected that this year's census will
cthave a population of about 16,000,000, an in-
eRrease of approximately two million, or 14 per
ovate in the fives -year period. If this per-
centage of increase should continue until 1961
it would be 2f1 per cent. for the decade, a rate
of increase which has been exceeded only once
in Canada. This was in 1901-11, a period
when the evesteirn eprovincee were filling up
with a great immigration from Europe and
the United States.
Canada's industries are becoming more
nd more diversified. Other primary indus-
tries, sueln as mining, have .increased. in im-
portance, and the secondary industries, includ-
ing a great variety of manufactures, now
surpass agriculture in the value of products.
Agriculture, however, remains the greatest of
our primary industries by a wide margin, and
it is only through the census that a complete
inventory of this great basic industry can be
obtained with sufficient detail. The develop-
ment of agricultural research, of marketing
plans and of various controls for the farmer's
benefit require a considerable amount and
variety of data.
It is to be noted that no information ob-
tained in the census will be used for taxation
or for any purpose whatsoever other than the
compiling of accurate totals to -assist farmers',
manufacturers and business men generally in
.their operations and to guide governments in
their policies. Without this information all
would be working in the dark.

TO LEVEL TOURIST SEASON
(Toronto Telegram)
The number of tourists visiting Ontario
f ut year set a record, according to the annual
import of the Travel and Publicity Depart -
Ment, tabled in the Legislature. That is good
news, for the tourist "industry" is worth an
eatimnted $250,000,000 to this province. Our
viaitors are not all in motorcars, by any means;
alpproximately one in three, or 800,000, came
'in during 1955 by rail, bus or plane.
The Department is concerned over a sort
of bottleneck, not only as regards holiday
weekend traffic, but in concentration of vaca-
tion travel in midsummer weeks. Twice as
many United States tourists drive over here
in July or August as during any other' month,

The same four weeks are highly favored

Most of us are glad to get hold of American
money. As one observer said, we would naturally
prefer to have the Americans drive' up to the
border and throw their money across to us, but
human nature being what it is, we must reconcile
Ourselves to letting the Americans acquire some
assets in return for their money. The point is
that it is still money. We do not need to be afraid
of it—it will not bite.—Prof. Walter B. Harvey.
COOKING REVOLUTION COMING
(Financial Post)
Businessmen who remember what happened to
the washing machine business just after the war
will be watching the stove business pretty carefully
these days.
The upheaval in the market for washing ma-
chines was based on the introduction of the fully
automatic washing machine --a genuinely new pro-
duct that solved a major problem for • the con-
sumer.
Now comes the "radar range"—cooking by
high -frequency electronic waves.
With one of these new -type stoves a house -
vs ife could cook a baked' potato in four minutes
instead of X30; a Met mignon in 50 seconds instead
of 10 minutes; a turkey in three minutes per pound
instead of 20. The method is already used in
some restaurants and hotels in Canada and. the,
United States where commercial installations of
the new stoves have been made. The next step
will be the production of domestic models for the
home.
fpitial prices will be considerably higher than
those of conventional stoves.
