Twenty per cent on farms and 14 per cent in smaller urban centres are so run­ down that only major replacements, such as new plaster or new floors, will help. In many cases only new houses will do. That is what many hundreds of. scientifically-selected of ~ 135 women, a cross-section wives, told from their home a da and' trained swers to 110' questions put to eacn, woman. The survey took three months and the complete findings', which will be given government anu other housing authorities, are still, being worked out. Figures on. some aspects of the survey were released today by Lever Brothers Limited. Other reports are being completea and will be issued later.

The average Canadian home has a bit over one room per occupant, That takes in kitchens and living rooms and the occupants include farmhands and maids, lodgers, roomers, boarders and relatives. On farms, one family in 20 shares its space with employ­ ees. In villages the number of out­ siders living with the twice as large. In cities every sixth house is boarders or lodgers.

Two per cent, of farmers, .accord­ ing to their wives, will buy new homes as soon as war’s end .frees materials and labor. In villages the figure is three per cent, in bigger places 7 per cent. The numbers who will buy if conditions permit—- which means if postwar months don’t cut present income—run 2, 6 and 7 in the same areas. One farm­ er in 20 will build, and be joined by six per cent of villagers and 9 per cent of city folk. Those who have building plans, but first want to make sure >of postwar conditions, numbei* 2, 5 and 5 per cent. Naturally the tendency for farm­ ers to stay where_ they- are but im­ prove present houses by alterations, improvements, additions and re­ pairs,’ is stronger than amiong townsmen. Over one farmer in five has plans to improve or alter his present house, 6 per cent will builu on more rooms and the same num­ ber will make needed repairs. In non-farm rural communities the same categories run 8, 3 and 5, while in larger towns and in cities the plans rate 4, 1 and 5. Only one farm woman in 50 said family plans were to sell the farm and move to town. They were older women. Many contraction faults were re­ vealed, Among them is the fact that although 94 per cent of village homes and 51 per cent of farm homes -checked have electric lights, 17 per cent in villages and 7 per cent on farms have rooms so dark, lights have to be turned on in the daytime. Explanation for dark rooms on farms is often existence of broad verandahs or nearby clus­ ters of out-buildings. Another cause, is lack of windows or poor location of such windows as they, have. Forty-five per cent- of farm homes are lit by 'c.oal-oil lamps, 3 per cent by gas and 5 per cent by gasoline lamps. Some farms reported several types of lighting. The 48 per cent rating fpr rural electrification checking only smaller farms, they are near urban centres, have access to urban power Over-all national average of electrification, taking in all farms, big or small’, near town or remote, wag only 20 per cent on the last national. census of 1941, Over one farm woman in 12 (8 per cent) demands improved heat­ ing systems, such as furnaces. In smaller urban centres the request tops one in nine (11 per cent). Only about 4 in 10 homes on farms and in villages have furnaces, as against 7 in 10 for the bigger towns and cities. The rest are heated main­ ly by wood stoves, coal stoves or combination heaters. Some people have several types of heating, so that even though 70 per cent of townspeople have 'furnaces, nearly half of them also have Wood coal stoves. house.
