The Roving Reporter Continuing Warm Is Forecast Here Hot weather prevailed in all parts of Alberta Tuesday and the weatherman Wednesday, could see no early relief. Forecast for Edmonton and generally for all parts of the province is for sunny, warm weather with high temperatures in the 80's.

Maximum of 85 is forecast for Edmonton. Temperatures Tuesday reached 85 at 4:30 p.m. and dropped to 56 overnight. The weather bureau blamed the continued heat on a "stagnation of air." With little or no air movement across the prairies and in British Columbia, the air becomes warmer each day and temperatures climb. Thundershowers may develop in some parts of Alberta, but precipitation is expected to be light in all regions.

F. MACDONALD 100,000 Europeans Expected In 1950 Migration from Europe to Canada probably will run 100,000 persons this year, similar to 1949, and the number can be absorbed in employment without disturbing this country's economy, states A. Fred Macdonald. M.P. for Edmonton East, who arrived Wednesday from Ottawa.

The member returned to Canada on May 30, after having headed the Canadian delegation to the preliminary conference in Geneva on migration, under the auspices of the International La bor Organization. On the trip overseas, Mr. Macdonald was ac companied by Mrs. Macdonald who returned home with him Wednesday, Mr. Macdonald, who is chairman of the industrial committee of the house of tcommotb, said the Geneva conference discussed surplus manpower available for migration.

The sessions were of an exploratory nature, dealing with displaced persons and migrant workers in Italy, Germany, Netherlands and other countries. Russia and her satellite countries were not represented. Thirty-one countries had delegates at Geneva, said the member. Representatives were to make re ports and recommendations to i their respective gorrnments, while a full conference is planned for 1931. Mr.

Macdonald visited England and conferred with Lord Holden, undersecretary of state for commonwealth relations, and Hon. George Isaaca, minister of labor. Speaking of Canadian immigration, he said it was. hoped to maintain the present flow. Mr.

Macdonald plans to go to Jasper to attend the opening of the recreation centre there Saturday. ALBERTAN GRADUATES One Albertan, FO. Tony Han-nas.

MacKinnon, minister without portfolio, will be present. Speaking of the national housing program, Mr. Winters said one or two projects had been held up, mainly over the question of costs. "By and large, the tender prices are within the estimates." he said. "We are not entering into contracts where the prices are out of line." Alluding to a B.C.

project on which work had been held up, the minister said action had ben de-I ferred when it was disclosed that i the tenders were from $300 to $1,300 higher per unit than the estimate. Asked as to the federal housing scheme based on 75 percent federal and 25 percent provincial government contribution, Mr. Winters said seven provinces have passed the necessary complementary legislation, enabling them to avail themselves of the scheme. I Alberta Not In Scheme i The three which have not nassed such legislation are Alberta, Prince i Edward Lsland which has no such housing problem, and Nova Scotia which has its own program. The minister said in order for Edmonton, for example, to come within the scheme, the initiative would have to rest with the pro- vince.

The dominion could not deal directly with any city. Mr. Winters recalled discussions he had in Edmonton last year with Ex-Mayor Ainlay concerning the possibility of developing a large block of land where housing would be centralized for service purposes under a possible joint arrangement with the province. He then had Indicated that if a housing program was essential and such buildings were not forthcoming, either for sale or rental purposes, the dominion would be interested in subsidizing, on a 75-25 percent basis. Primarily, however, the national scheme was designed for home ownership purposes.
