It hadn't been five months but only four Mr Colo corrected And ho had been awfully busy at that time First there was the budget for this year's operations to take care of Then there waa extension of expiring housing legislation to take care of and in half Mllion Increase In home lorn Insurance Finally there hat ren the mMti-r of raising tha Interest rate on Fed- oral Housing Administrator mortgages Thai had taken endive conferences The increase in interest rates had hern only one-quarter of one per cent up to a four and one-half per cent maximum been already the housing administrator has caught plenty of criu-slam for that one In summary Mr Cole said he had been working from eight o'douk in the morning to six and seven o'clock at night five and six daa a week and sometimes Sunday And he waa Just now getting around to making hia general study of tha housing situation "Does the Job look any different to you now than It did when you were in Congress reporter asked "It looks a lot different down aa'd Mr Cole frankly HONEST CONFESSION Now this waa a most interesting and honest confession When Mr Cole wae In Congress hs was one of the moat outspoken critics of government housing programs He had a consistent voting record in opposition to public housing from 1V49 through 1992 when he lost out In hla racs for re-election to Congress He wax ticketed aa an opponent of government houaing programs Hia record was such that publio housing advocates tried to prevent his confirmation as houaing administrator But now her hs was saying that things looked different 'when tho responsibility was his Mr Cols explained thia la mora detail In Congress he said ha had voted on broad liouelng policy aa it waa viewed by hla constituents and bis obligations to them Now as housing administrator tha decisions that cross his desk were more personal They affected cities ths operations of building corporations and the social and economic welfare of thousands of people All this shows what a change from local to national viewpoint will do It shows tha sobering Influence of responsibility But If you want to know what ths new housing sd- mlntotrator's new policies art you'll

highway linking us to Southern Ontario be brought up to modern standards appear to be winning the battle Hon George Doucett Ontario minister of highways has announced that plans have been completed for construction of a controlled access by-pass of Washago on Highway No 11 12 miles north of Orillia Included in that project for relieving traffic congestion are erection of a high level bridge over the Trent Canal replacing the existing narrow swing bridge now known as the Severn Bridge building a large bridge over the south channel of the Severn RivePs west branch and railway grade separation over Canadian National Railway tracks These tracks will be repositioned so that two ex Isting level crossings will be eliminated when the grade separation has been completed' With announcement of the projected Washago development seven years of long-range highway improvement and traffic congestion relief between Toronto and Northern Ontario as well as the great Georgian Bay Muskoka Lakes and Algonquin Park vacation areas are approaching fruition Early in 1945 Mr Doucett announced that the Toronto-Barrie four lane controlled access highway would be built Often seriously delayed by materials shortages the project was opened for traffic as first of the Four Hundred Series of dual highways in 1952 With completion of that expressway and the Barrie by-pass bottlenecks moved northward and eliminating them despite many unforeseen or unavoidable difficulties has been a triumph of long-range engineering planning The Gravenhurst by-pass was completed in time for summer traffic in 1951 Just north the Brace-bridge by-pass also on Highway No 11 was opened for traffic on July 1 of this year Construction of the Orillia by-pass which will be 10 miles long is actively underway this year Plans for the Washago by-pass will round out the program When it is completed and Highway 69 Krtion of the Trans-Canada highway reaches Sud-ry a new era of free-moving transportation between metropolitan Toronto hugest city and Northern Ontario will have begun Urge Support For Gas Pipeline would be narrow-minded to oppose in tny way the Ontario urging that construction of an all-Canadian pipeline to bring natural gas to Eastern Canada be started as soon as possible Over the signature of Philip Kelly minister of mines for Ontario the government has sent a strong brief to the Alberta Gas Conservation board The brief pointed out that the Ontario market for fuels of all kinds has increased enormously im recent years and the present uncertainty of supply has made it necessary to seek a sure and economic source of natural gas In its brief Ontario went strongly on record as favoring the development and use of Canada's resources and essentially" for the benefit of Canadians To this end the province appealed definitely for an all-Canada route through which service could be given to municipalities and industries at the Lakehead and other Northern Ontario centres which would not normally be served if the line should be constructed through the United States south of the Great Lakes In the course of the Calgary hearings four reports were submitted on behalf of companies interested in building the proposed pipeline Of these one suggested that the all-Canadian route might not prove to be profitable during the first few years of its operation The other three saw the Canadian route aa economically sound and entirely feasible We quote from the brief: "In general these reports indicate that Alberta natural gas can be delivered by pipe line to Eastern Canada to sell at a price competitive with other fuels "We desire at this hearing to go on record as being solidly in favor of the development and use of Canada's resources primarily and essentially for the benefit of Canadians To this end we support the establishment of an all-Canadian pipe line to Eastern Canada "The Government of Ontario therefore petitions the Board when dealing with applications for the export of natural gas to give every possible consideration to the pressing and ever-growing need for large volumes of natural gas In Eastern Canada Down Under

academic levels then and went unchallenged Where not openly approved Particularly In mind are the "abridged' clasilea used aa textbooks Occasionally they were referred to as "expurgated" hooka but mostly that word was considered too bighpowered for the Job ao "abridged" waa used instead This meant that tha hooka in their original fora was considered too strong for students so offending words and passages were daisied also meant that to this degree the hooka wars censored No one threw a fit over It No one aesailed tha abridgement people as Thera waa no responsible body of opinion which aid students were being shortchanged through this insulation from ribald words Shakespeare for Instance sometimes tossed to tha bard-cuaslng Elisa be than groundlings Life seemed simpler In that
