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. National Housing ':Act, loans 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.
