By The Canadian Press Canadian houses are going to be as scarce as ever lor some time to come and rents are likely to go even higher, a cross-country survey reveals. The trouble The Canadian Tress was told in Its survey, that those who now have a to live in the ever-crowdins urban centres across the country are In no hurry to move. Those who are still looking for a home are promised little respite because building firms just can't keep up with demands.

About the only place in the country where any easing is indicated is in Montreal, the country's largest cily. There real-estate esents report thrj are actually looking for home-setikeis to fill their empty houses, for the first time sines the war. High rents are the probable reason. From th coast of Newfoundland to the shores of Vancouver Island, the cry is still the same "More homes" despite record-building housing schemes and developments in almost every province. In St.

John's capital of the newest province, a joint dominion-provincial slum-clearing project now is under way at a cost of On the site of these 500 undesirable dwellings, new homes will be erected. Meanwhile, the situation remains tight. In the other three cast-coast provinces, similar developments are under way. In Halifax 300 new home-sites are under construction. There housing officials report some single rooms now are available but apartments and self-contained homes are practically unheard-of.

In Saint John, N.B., a housing authority has a waiting list of 900 families and the city has an additional 165 names. Quebec province, outside of Montreal, reports the same picture. In some Quebec centres, high building costs are said to be restricting new building. In Ontario, the most-populated province, more houses are under oonstruction than ever before but the situation generally is not relaxed. The population Increase, at least that demanding independent home accommodation, is keeping well ahead of the house supply.

Throughout th west, a serious lack of houses for rent to small wage earners is reported. 0 BATHABABES Sturdy baby baths with tressle frames and rubber tubs. Just the thing for Junior. DINETTE BUFFETS 5 only, natural finish. Large linen drawer, 2 glass cupboard doors.

SMOKING TABLES REGINA, (CP) A fire never just happens in a hospital, but is usually caused through neglect of certain fundamental safety rules cr-reliance on ou'modcd fire! fighting equipment, R. Tiffin, Saskatchewan fire commissioner, said Tuesday, addressing the an- nual institute for Western Canad- ian hospital trustees and ad-) ministrators.

Mr. Tiffin said that mere vigi- lance, while important, is not enough to assure safety. It must i be combined with knowledge." While fire is tragic and terrifying at any time, he said, a hospital blaze is doubly so. Patients bed- 1 ridden and severely ill usually panic more easily than a healthy person. While fire resistive construction 1 is desirable for all hospitals, Mr.

Tiffin said, the use of this mater- lal is not In itself any guarantee of fire safety. i "It is more important that the material be used properly in combination with proper over-all design," he said. i Mr. Tiffin suggested that wings of hospitals should be supplied with fire resistant doors so that a section of the building could be cut off from a possible blaze. Delegates also were told of the critical lack of trained X-ray and i clinical laboratory technicians, T.

E. Hunt and C. N. Gillis, both of the health services planning commission, outlined the pressing need for qualified personnel. Mr.

Hunt revealed that X-ray techni- clans are difficult to find for smaller hospitals. "Since 96 of our 119 hospitals 1 are equipped with fewer than 17 I beds," he said, "it is easy to see $9.95 sturdy attractive construction. Assorted designs. Size approx. Reg.

The federal government's Central Housing and Mortgage Cor-' poration reports from Saskatchewan that the situation is the worst in four years. They say they have 1,089 applications for homes and have practically nothing to offer. Edmonton can report perhaps the largest population boom in the country, with 10,000 persons coming to the oil-rich city in the last year.

Emergency housing officials say there is need for 6,000 more homes even after the $17,000,000 in permits for 2,600 homes are completed. In Calgary, the biggest boom since 1912 is expected. British Columbia estimates homes are reeded. They say building programs under consideration call for about 2,500 in the next 12 months. $39.50 Regular $79.50.
