Locally, the demands for. ae ommodatjon are se great that they, cannot be eloped with in. 'a veru aa' manner, with :theresult that a number,. of 'douses, are under construction and more are iii prospeet, if, as and when building conditions become 'a little more favourable. During, the past few months real estate tremsaot-ions. reveal high selling. prices and a demand which exceedssupply. Anyone Who 'advertises a house for rent or. for 'sale can bear witness as. to thegreat pressure for accommodation which exists. Hon. C. D. Helve, Federal Minister. of Reconstruction, in an address, in Toronto Monday, gave very little hope of tan iknniediate change in the situation throughout the country. He declared that the need of the next two years would exceed the present capacity of the Dominion to nope with the situation, and described the :rousing shortage as the most serious of many scarcities "bedevilling" the work of reconstruction. He warned that the situation ?would become worse before it became better, with the most acute st'agebeing reached next 'autumn. He believed the situation Would improve by the spring of 1947, but said the shortage would not be over until about 300,000 new Houses have beep erected. • Analyzing the housing shortage, Mr. Howe said that it is the result of a number of factors, the most important being the large increase in national income, making it possible for families, formerly doubled up in one house, to seek separate dwellings. • The return of service personnel, coupled with the arrival of war brides; a high wartime marriage rate with a resulting higher new family formation, and surveys made at discharge centres, indicating housing needs for about one out of e er }� y four men discharged, were other factors. With such a drab outlook before us, As •far as housing IS concerned, it might be well to take a little stock Ioeallly .and set up some sort of an organization to attempt *el solve the problem as lit exists in this district. A special Dousing Committee appointed by the Town Council might be • of some assistance. If people want to make Clinton their home, they should be given every encouragement and there should be some official recognition of the plight in which they find themselves at the present ihme. THIS IS YOUR WAR Heolith authorities say that ithe fear of cancer is more difficult 'to combat than the disease itself. This stlartling statement is made of a disease that is curable in a majority of cases if it is diagnosed and treated early enough. Yet cancer kills more people than any other cause except diseases of the heart, and is on The• increase in Ontario. This year, unless something is done, 7,000 men and 7,000 women in Canada Will die of cancer. Something cam be done, and will be done to fight cancer --if you make it your war. During this month, a War against cancer is being waged ail over Canada and the United States. Ontario's battle is 'being carried on by - the Ontario Cancer Treatment and Research Foundation. You are asked to assist the Foundation in raising a mini - )num of::$2,000,000. You may be helping to save yourself, (r, sameo>ste you love, for one out of every six to eight ' persons now living must expect to die of cancer. Con- tributions MAY be made through any bank or at the Stratford Cancer Campaign Headquarters, 10 Downie St., Stratford. 0 EDITORIAL COMMENT Thought for Today—Even tea haves do not reveal their strength and .fragrance until they are in hot water. 0 Tomorrow, Good. Friday, all places of business will be closed. A3ltihough Easter Monday is a statutory holiday, it will not be observed generally as such. Banks and gov- ernment offices will remain ciosed,"however.

With the opening of the„speckled trout fishing season in , Ontario :tomorrow,, true sportsmen will strongly support the action of the new Western Ontario Fish and Game Protective Association in pointing out that at the present time many game fish 'are spawning ,and strike readily' on, almost any type of lure or bait, either through hunger or in protection of their nests. By taking the vomit fish at this time, the spawn is left open to the ravages of other fish, thereby reducing the fishing of future years. The 3hrii6 are.based on knowledge accumulated over the'. yeaaa, and Set so as to .give the 'maximum limit without Banning thenatural, rate of decrease.

Society Clinton, Ont., April 15, 1946. v' • Editor, 1 CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, . 'DEAR SIR ' I have read with interest the letter of Mrs. Violet Keillor in your recent issue. Another relation,'I believe: I beg to reinied Mrs. Keillor that we have had some very very illust- rious ancestors. One Jonah, I believe, still holds the record of eoncuntating' the first successful undersea voyage in history. Another ancestor of ours Was Job, a man of super ability and super moral character. He was a very successful farmer, but serious re- verses came to him. He lost his stock and grain and• then, to cap it all, he had a serious attack of boils, but through it all, he maintained his patience and tranquility of mind. And he had neighbors who came to visit him during the period of his trials and misfortunes. "l3ut, someway, the personalities of those neighbors. (also ancestors) seem to have• been snore strongly impressed on the human family than Job's. Other ancestors were Ananias and his wife, Sophia, and they seem to have imprinted their personalities very strongly on our family. I wish for my part that the Divine Provi- dence had used more perspicacity here. Yes, I agree with Mrs, Keillor that. theum n r h a ace has been on the earth quite awhile, and I would like to ask her why areas which supported large cities and a ln' gr: population are to- day deserts and the cities, mounds of ruins. Yes, I acme that selective breeding and sterilization should go a great waw in improving the human race. Yes, 1 had two parents in the same war es most of the human family I thought that this two - 'Parents process was the proper and usual method of production, but Mrs. Keillor has created' an impression that it was just not the proper way tp go about it. Will she explain a better way? Also, will Mrs. Keillor explain the l congested 'condition of our cities and the sparseness of,•the population in the rural districts right around Clin- ton where there are large areas of arable land? Yes, I am an old bachelor --net the only one, of course. And there is a fair sprinkling of old maids too. And T wish to say that if the world could be persuaded to product old bachelors and old maids, then war and other calamities would soon cease to be a menace to the human race. Yours truly, (Signed)—B. WALDILON. Brucefield, Ontario, April 16, 1946.
