THIS WEEK
AND NEXT
by Ray Argyle
A place To. Live
One of , the myths to which
our society pays lip service—
that every Canadian fancily
should be able. to own,its own
home — received anothr blow
when the interest rate on Na-
tional . Housing Act mortgages
was raised.td six and three-
quarter per dent.
The rate was boosted in the
name of "sound fiscal policy,"
that strange device which gov-
---"?our children's sight is al-
most as precious as life itself,".
said E. F. Wheeler, district field
secretary for The, Canadian . Na-
tional Institute for the Blind.
In an interview on White Cane
Week, sponsored by his organ-
ization ,and The Canadian Coun-
cil of the- Blind, he reminded
readers that eye accidents are
high.,gn the list of the causes
of blindness and spoil perfect-
vision
erfectvision for hundreds of children
every year.
He explained that toys, like
fireworks and bows and arrows,
frequently send a youngster ,to
the hospital with a damaged
eye.
He told two true incidents
that happened to small boys.
The --lads were-playing.-cops._and
robbers -,with the neighborhood
gang and a general free-for-all
was taking- place. A friendly
enemy threw -a stone. One
youngster was wearing glasses..
The other was not. When the
stone struck the glasses, 'it
knocked the frames hard
against the lad's eyes but the
glasses did not break — they
were safety lenses. In the
other case, the stone struck
the youngster's naked eye and
damaged the sight beyond res-
toration. . Sympathetic causes
affected his second eye and the
boy became totally blind with-
in
ithin a year.
The field. secretary urged par-
ents to consider safety lenses
for children who need glasses,
and to teach the boys and girls
to appreciate the .importance of
seeing. "If they realize that
once injured.. an eye cannot be
replaced, they ' will •.,he more
careful with BB guns and air
(rifles, They will carry knives
and scissors with the points
downward and develop a watch-
ful attitude with .all sharp tools
and instruments.".... -
He said .. thatone way to
show appreciation of eyesight
is to assist our blind neighbors
'at street crossings or by 'serv-
ing'as a volunteer for a CNIB
centre. "When you share your
-sight," said the field' secretary,
"yoe-will understand better the
importance of taking care of
your eyes—one pair for a life-
time."
ernment and economists apply
from time to time in an attempt
to match supply and demand in
the money market.
Raising the rate from 6r/a to
6% per cent—it was only .six
per -cent a half dozen years ago
—was a signal of the dilemma
in which the government has
found itself as a ,result of five
years of rising prosperity.•
In order to attract money for
mortgages from the big lending
institutions—which were shy-
ing away from NHA mortgages
in favor of better -paying invest-
ments=the interest rate had to
go up.
But what was a device to at-
tract more lending and
thus ensure that money:, weuld
continue to be available for
`H`o`me' `bmilding; also- +-created
another stumbling block for
would-be. home buyers.
Hardest hit were big city resi-
dents who have been caught not
chartered banks, and backed up
by a Crown ,agency, the Cen-
tral Mortgage 'and Housing
Corp.
But the Act has•`never been
of much assistance to residents
of smaller communities, where
little of the new housing con-
struction is undertaken. And as
only new homes qualify for
NPIA mortgages, the measure is.
of no assistance fo persons fore -
ed to buy older homes where
on the. opennarket, conven-
tional mortgages cost up to 714
per cent interest, with second
mortgages .'even higher.
Two measures' have been ad-
vocated which would give home
building a new Shot in the arm,
and enable more Canadians to
own their own homes.
The first is the NHA mort-
gages should be made ayailable
in the . resale _ of older homes.
The government has resisted
every invitation to move into
this field, which is now the
monopoly of private lenders.
The second- is to permit home
buyers to •deduct from their
taxable income the interest they
pay on house mortgages. The
U.S. has done this for many
years.
On a typical $13,000 mortgage
-the -home-owner-ove.x,_.the_ s d-
ard 25 -year' NHA period pays
back something . like $25,000.
During the, first five years of
his mortgage, because he is
carrying so much unpaid princi-
pal, the interest will eat up
nearly -all of his monthly pay-
ments. In five years he will pay
back something,' like' $5,000, of
which only about •$1,000 will go
to reducing the principal. The
other $4,000 will be swallowed
up • by interest.
If a taxpayer were permitted
to deduct mortgage interest up
to $1,000 from his • taxable in-
come each year, this would
mean thousands of additional
Canadians would be able.to en-
tertain the idea of owning their
own home. -
The home building industry is
one of the key barometers of
the country's economic health.
It not only, provides a lucrative
field for mortgage investment,
bat affects every segment of the
ecdriomy from the building in-
dustry itself to forestry, dur-
able goods_ manufacturing and
a host of service industries.
It would be a good idea for
the home building industry and
real estate' groups not only to
call for the, elirttination of the
11 percent federal sales tax on
building materials, but for ex-
tension of NHA loans. to old
homes,"as well as new, along
with legislation to free Cana-
dians from paying taxes on
mortgage interest.
Until measures such as these
are recognized and/introduced,
the whole "apparatus of govern-
ment, the building -industry arid
the architectural profession will
have failed to face up to the
fundamental problem of shelter
for Canadians.
only 'in the high interest.
squeeze, but in the spiralling
,cost of land in the suburbs
where the majority . of today's
home building is done.
As a result, of the salary re-
quirements for NHA mortgages
($6,100 annually for a $15,000
mortgage with taxes of $35 a
month), additional thousands of •
•Canadians, will be unable to
qualify.

are made through approved
lending institutions such as
DUBLIN
The Dublin Women's Institute
held the January meeting at
the home of Mrs. Thomas But-
ters. Mrs. J. Burchill chaired
the meeting and 12 members
attended. Mrs. H. •Pethick read
the correspondence.
-The topic was discussed by
Mrs. R. Aikens from • an article
on "Potash." Three and a half
tons were taken from the mines
in 1965. Some 300 people work
at the mines in Saskatchewan.
Mrs. R. Aikens presented a
reading of Harry J. Boyle's,
"Threshing on the Farms." Mrs.
J. Stratton had a scrambled
letters' contest, which was woh
by Mrs. H. Pethick.
