IS S NST Canada's census whioh starts next June 1 may well find this a country of 16,000,000 persons.. Experts at the Bureau of States-,, tics, Ottawa, which will conduct the census, have forecast that the 16,- 000,000 milestone will be reached, at about that time. The house -by, house count to be carried out in the first half of June is expected to be almost exactly on the quark. Next year's census is a .depar- ture from the traditional count, which in the past has been con- ducted in the first year of each decade. The 1951 census showed a population of 14,009,000. Since 1951 the Bureau has been making monthly population esti- mates based on births, deaths, im- migration and emigration. Basis of present forecasts is the fact that in the last three years this estimate has risen annually by an almost constant 400,000—give or take a few thousand. The estimate for last June 1 was 15,601,000. Three months later it had risen by 105,000 to 15,706,000. Estimates are pretty close to the mark—in 1951 the estimate was only one per cent off the actual census count. The regular census -takings will continue to be held on the first year of each decade. The next is in 1961. The in-between ones, starting next year, will have far fewer questions. Only Six Questions The person who answers the door next June will be asked only six questions about each resident of the household: Name, address, sex, age, martial status and. rela- tionship to the head of the house- hold. In 1951 there were 29 ques- tions, going into such things as religion, citizenship, national ori- gin, occupation and whether the household had equipment such as running water, washing machine and telephone. It will, however. give valuable information about population shifts not otherwise available. Farmers will be asked 73 ques- Man Against Nature Those engaged in scientic re- search work must always be mind- ful of the delicate balance of na- ture when dealing with soil, vege- tation and fauna. Actually Na- ture's way' was disturbed when pre -historic man first undertook to cultivate the soil and penetrate in- to the forest. Since that time the balance has been upset many times and often only corrected af- ter serious damage had been done. The untimely and drastic defores- tation of mountain slopes for ex- ample, has resulted in flooding and consequent erosion of good farm lands. Even the use of chem- icals for: insect control can be an unmixed "blessing, for tie ehh'rin cals frequently eradicate the use- ful insects which often keep the harmful ones in check. And so the scientist must be watchful for the immediate results and for the aftermath. The June report of UNESCO gives a number of examples show- ing how the balance of nature was upset by what at first sight ap- peared quite logical actions. In 1859, twenty-four rabbits were brought into Australia. Since that time that country has been plagued by millions of these rod- ents destroying both natural and cultivated vegetation. Tod a y, Jamaica is troubled by the mon- the object of destroying rats which were pillaging sugar cane planta- tions. The mongoose, however. al- so attacks domestic animals and destroys harvests. In Africa, the destruction of the leopard has resulted in an enor- mous increase in baboons and wild pigs which eat up the vegetation.. In other countries the eradication of the otter has brought about the disappearance of fish. The otter for some peculiar reason enjoys a diet of diseased fish and thereby prevents the spread of fish epi- demis. A Simple Concrete Root House Root houses and potato storages are necessary in many of the fruit, vegetable and potato growing ar- eas of Canada. Experiments have been. made at the Canada Department of Agri- culture Experimental Farm at Swift Current, Sask., to simplify and reduce the cost of concrete construction, and three root houses have now been built. One was built in 1953 at the Swift Current Farm. The Archer Mem- orial Hospital at Lamont, Alta., built one 32 feet by 16 feet in 1954, and the Union Hospital at Maple Creek completed one 32 feet by 20 feet this year. The form is semi -circular and re- sembles a small sized Quonset type of structure. It is exceedingly simple to build with ordinary tools and uses less than half the lumber required for "box" forms. Fur- thermore, the problem of remov- ing forms is greatly simplified and the lumber wasted is negligible when compared with common methods. Five -sixteenths, sheating-grade, fir plywood is lightly nailed on a framework of 2 x 4's and 2 x 6's. Except for the vertical suppotts, all lumber is used in full lengths and none of the 4' x 8' sheets of plywood needs to be cut. A layer of waterproof paper is tacked or stapled to the plywood, then 2" x 2" mesh 14 gauge self - furring stucco wire is laid over this. Two coats of stucco are then applied. Following this 6" x 6" mesh reinforcing wire and iron rods are fastened in place and four inches of concrete is shovelled on. Studies of the root houses built show no signs of failure. All un- its are overlaid with soil four or more feet deep. Inquiries regarding this type of construction may be addressed to the Superintendent, Experimental Farm, Swift Current, Sask. tions] 'Compared with some 200 in 1051,4ealing with farm operations, area,, size of crops and number of livestock. Annual estimates of crops and livestock are made through sam- ple ..inquiries by mail and these are expected to be on a more ac- curate basis with a census every five years instead of the decennial ones. Preparations for next June now are well advanced. Form are be- ing printed and a few test runs made to see how long the question- ing takes at the average household and what kind of replies can be expected. About 17.000 enumerators, the same size as the 1951 counting force; still are to be chosen and trained. Many of them will be housewives, students, pensioners and Other part-time- workers. They won't be trained until just before the census starts.

"The pig, children, is a most use- ful animal," said the teacher. "We use its head for brawn, its legs for ham, its bristles for brushes. What else do we use from the pig?" "Please, miss," said one small child, "we use its name when we want to be rude." ft4. yoo HOSP/Tig by G. HARVEY AGNEW, M.D. PRESIDENT. ONTARIO HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION Within the past few years most cmmunities of any size in Ontario have either been through a hospi- tal expansion or are now planning an enlargement of present hospital facilities. This situation is common in ev- ery community and has been oc- casioned by the marked increase fil tie of hospitals everywhere. During various expansion finan- cial campaigns and drives, people have been heard to express con- cern about the cost of modern hospital construction. Some ask why hospital construction costs are so much more to day than they were a generation or so ago. It is quite true that hospital con- struction is costly. But so is all construction today, and, for com- parable items, hospital construc- tion costs have probably not risen higher than the costs of other pub- lic buildings. The fact remains that the cost of hospital construction is high and in view of the increased number of beds required, the large amount of money which the Board of Trus- tees in some communities has had to raise has been staggering. The public should know why this is so. There are a number of very rea- sonable explanations why hospital construction costs are high. For one thing hospital facilities receive an unusual amount of wear and tear and must be built to with- stand this strain. This applies to floors, doors, hardware, plumbing and practically all parts of the hospital. Hospital facilities are in use twenty-four hours a day, ev- ery day of the year. Since the modern, fire-resistant hospital will probably be in ser- vice for the next 60 or 70 years and longer, it is sound economy to put only the best of durable, long-lasting and easily -maintained material into its construction and finish. This is economical in the end. There is another reason, too. Few people realize, yet it is a fact, that the maintenance costs of a hospital equal the initial cost of construction and equipment every three or four years. Therefore, an initial outlay of a few thousand dollars, say for a better flooring, or door hardware, or heat insula- tion, will reduce costs of mainten- ance and depreciation. Such an expenditure at the beginning would mean that, eventually, this sum would be saved many times over during the Lifetime of the hospital. Another factor is the cost of personnel. Today, salaries and wages make up a very large per- centage (from 60%r to 70%) of a hospital's total operational costs. Consequently, as a planned mea- sure of economy to keep hospital rates within reason, it is consid- ered advisable to install various labor-saving devices which can en- able the hospital to reduce oper- ating costs. For this reason, dur- ing new construction or expansion, hospitals now install new type patient -nurse call systems, mech- anized food service, temperature control arrangements, automatic laundry equipment, mechanical stokers. conveyor belts, needle washers, rubber -glove condition- ers, automatic sterilizer controls and many other time -saving piec- es of apparatus. These all add to the initial expense but, when con- sidered from the long-term view- point, result in a considerable sav- ing. This has long been recogniz- ed in. industry. Important, of course, is the fact that medical science and skill are steadily advancing With the result that many more pieces of complex scientific equipment are required in hospitals today. These cost money but permit us to save more lives and to shorten the time in hospital. The modern hospital must pro- vide more space for new labora- tory sub -departments, for a much more active X-ray department, for metabolic departments, for cardiac surgery and for other new or en- larged departments. Many of the larger hospitals today have cobalt bombs which require elaborate housing to provide the necessary protection and others now have isotope laboratories to utilize new- er discoveries. Today no one wants hospitals to be too forbidding and austere. It is part of the treatment to make the patient feel as contented and as much at home as possible dur- ing his stay in hospital. For this reason it is advisable for hospitals to have a pleasant and invit- ing entrance, comfortable waiting rooms, well furnished rooms, pleas- ant color schemes, attractive drapes and good tray service. True, these all cost money—a lot of money! But once the money is raised and the up-to-date effici- ent facilities are in operation, ev- eryone will be delighted. The in- vestment is an exceedingly sound one in the light of the lives, health and happiness of our loved ones and friends. - WE PRINT IT Store Sale Bills Business Cards Window Cards Laundry Lists Visiting Cards Bread Tickets Letter Heads Meal Tickets Filing Cards Programmes Score Cards Debentures Note Heads Bill Heads Pamphlets Circulars Booklets Dodgers Blotters Badges Drafts Books Tags Bills Bonds Labels Cheques Placards Vouchers Prize Lists Catalogues Price Lists Post Cards Menu Cards Statements Blank Notes Milk Tickets Legal Forms Memo Heads Order Blanks Shipping Tags Funeral Cards Show Printing Menu Booklets Greeting Cards At Home Cards PHONE 41 SEAFORTH THE TIURoN pkk ','C). a-. .PERIN .

He announced the zone meeting for Perth and Huron to be held in Mitchell Town Hall on October 27. Eight dele- gates were named to attend the annual meeting of the Ontario As- sociation in Toronto on November 15. Mention was made, too, of the attraction of the Association booth and butter draws at Stratford fair. Lewis Davis, of Owen Sound, zone director from Grey and Bruce counties on the Ontario Cream Pro- ducers' marketing board, was the special speaker. He pointed out that last year the four dairy indus- try branches, the butter, cheese, milk, and concentrated milk pro- ducers had started a common fund for advertising and marketing. A co-ordinating board composed of five representatives from each of the groups controls the fund. Plans are now being made to start a marketing agency making service deductions similar to the Ontario Hog Producers' agency.
