Record Construction Year In Prospect, Is Forecast

MONTREAL (CR) — The con- struction industry seems headed for a record year in 1959, in the opinion of the trade magazine Canadian Builder.

On the basis of interviews with Many qualified persons Canadian Builder in its year-end issues pre- sents these forecasts:

Dollar volume of construction will be up, in a range of three to five per cent; building construc- tion alone should top $4,000,000,- 000; new houses to be started will equal the 155,000 started in 1958, a figure which was 11 per cent better than any previous year.

Increase is also expected im construction of schools, hospitals, airports and other public build

PREDICTS EXPANSION

The magazine quotes President Harold Ball of the Canadian Con- struction Association as saying the last few months of 1958 brought forth greater interest in commercial and industrial con- struction. He felt this was an im- portant sign that industry and

Mr. Ball saw a possible new pattern for construction opera- tions. More large contractors

umes of construction by reducing the margin of overhead and profit.

This was done on the assump- tion that by turning over their capital 10 or 12 times a year a reasonable return could be real- ized. The smaller contractor had to bid on a greater number of jobs in order to ogtain enough work ‘to keep his operations go- ing.

There was also a tendency to- ward package-deal operation, of- ten reducing or eliminating com- petition. Contractors felt enough work could be obtained this way to keep them busy and also real- ize a fair profit. DISCRIMINATING BUYERS

Mr. Joubert doesn’t antic a tight-money situation but the house building industry must not depend on government sources and suggested private lenders will have to play a larger part in the money. market in 1959. President Stewart Bates of Cen- tral Mortgage and Housing Corp- oration predicted more federal contribution. for planning, urgan renewal and low-rental subsidy. Mr. Bates said slum-clearance programs will move well in 1959. A huge Montreal project had fol- 1 one in Toronto. Now, he said, slum - clearance projects were taking hold in St. John’s, Nfld., Halifax, Saint John, N.B., Windsor, Ont.. Hamilton and Vancouver.

NEW YORK (AP) — A baby stolen new-born from her hos- pital basinet on the night of Jan. 2 was restored Monday to her tearful, happy mother. A vague, distraught woman who -herself had borne eight children was held as the kidnapper.

The alleged abductor of baby Lisa Rose Chionchio was 43-year- old Mrs. Jean lavarone, who is to appear in Brooklyn felony’ court today. She is changed with kid- napping, punishable in New York

to life in prison.

‘Police said Mrs. lavarone wanted a new-born child to pass off as her own to pit pressure on an unidentified boy friend into marrying her. Divorce and death

. | had shattered-her two previous

marriages and scattered her seven living children, the young- est three years old.

REUNION WITH MOTHER

=“Tt feels wonderful to have her in my arms,” said Lisa Rose’s mother, Mrs. Frances Chionchio, 26, as\she credled the baby in her arms. The reunion took place in St. Peter’s Hospital in Brook- lyn, where the child had di peared 2% hours after its birth. * Despite the ordeal to which the Cifionchio family was subjected, , its members expressed sympathy for the abductor.

The .child’s father, Frank, a 28-

“I sympathize with her feelings and longings. We still feel that she can come to see the baby if she wants. We always felt this wy. as a PHONE TIP-OFF

Pohce had set up a special telephone line for taps on the kid- napper. Over this on Sunday night came a report from a care- fully guarded source. It led offi- cers to Mrs. Iavarone’s neat but.

HEARING RECESSED

Later, as she appeared in Brooklyn felony court in a long black coat, she seemed in a trance. The hearing was imme- diately recessed until she could obtain a lawyer.

When Mrs. Iavarone was seized with the baby she insisted it was hers and said she had borne it herself Jan. 2. But after blood tests, medical examinations and footprint comparisons, assistant District Attorney J. K. McCabe said:

“There is no doubt, on the basis

of scientific evidence, that she took the child.” Ho roup -

‘Holds Meeting

MONTAGUE — The regular monthly meeting of the Kings County Hospital Ladies Auxi- liary was held at the nurses residence Friday evening, with the president, Mrs. Byron Ste- wart, in the chair.

In the absence of the secre- tary Mrs. Leon Johnston read the minutes of the last meeting and presented the financial re- port.

Mrs. R. G, MacDonald re ported that towelling had been purchased for the hospital. On motion, it was decided to pur- chase two dozen cereal bowls, Mrs. MacDonald to attend to this matter.

A bill for sewing and one for treats which had _ been given to the patients and staff at Christmas were ordered paid.

Plans for holding an auction sale at the February meeting were discussed and each mem- ber was asked to bring a friend.

Twenty ‘four holiday mite boxes were distributed and it was decided to obtain an ad- ditional quantity for the Feb- ruary meeting.

Mr. Dewar said that | probably ‘‘a disinterested ob- | server” might criticize the or- ganization for being over cen- tralized and lacking self in- itiated activity at the county level. LITTLE COMPENSATION

Mr. Dewar explained that | “too many” of the directors | are not closely in touch with the federation and the inability of the organization to pay. ‘travel expenses to meetings | presents a’ serious handicap | from the standpoint of attend- | ance. “Certainly considerable in- | terest .and enthusiasm is neces- | sary on the part of directces who must do without a per | diem allowance in addition te

The president of the “federa- tion, Mr. Waugh renewed his strong stand against the insti- tution of daylight time in the | province. He said, “This is an) agricultural province and the farmers in common with farm- | ers across Canada, in the United States, Great Britain and— elsewhere demand _§stan- | dard time’’.

He said it had always been a mystery to him, “why a minority of the people living in a couple of the towns of this province should continue to; dis- regard. the wishes of the farm- ers by agitating for fast time’.

The president said there; had been nothing during the , past 40 years that had caused more hard feelings “between rural and urban, people than “this continual feud over time’. WRONG IMPRESSION

He said some people would try to convince the population that. the Island is the only place on the North American continent that does not have fast time. “The people who will | tell you this are either ignor- ant of the facts or they are not holding squarely to the truth”,
