By GREG MacDONALD Canadian Press Staff Writer The reduction in the Bank Rate last November appears to have signalled the beginning of a period of overall stability in Canadian interest rates. says the investment firm of Green- shields Inc. The Bank of Canada an- nounced the reduction in the rate to four per cent from five per cent on Nov. 13. In fact, says the company. yields on intermediate and long- term bonds have shown little change over the last three months. while the treasury bill yield moved in a progressively narrower range. Behind these developments lay the continuing improvement in the county's balance of pay- ments position and the ex- nhnnn re —- reflecting a ' Day "Liv.

Among the various factors which will have an effect on the bond market during the two months. says Greenshields. the most important is the coun- try's foreign exchange position. 3 “Development in this area will obviously have a major in- ‘fluence on central bank policy." “At the same time, It appears that new financing by junior governments and corporations in the domestic market will be relatively light in the immediate future. At the federal level. how- ever. a refunding operation in- volving $300,000,000 is expected prior to th election."

Stewart Bates, president of Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation, said Canada is go- ing to need 350,000 new housing' units by the 1967 centennial’ year to house the young peoplel who now are on the verge of' entering the labor force. l And on the basis of the 7.750.-l l A: :- Canadians now under 20 years of age. there will be a need for an additional 1.500.000} units by 1976. he added. . Bates said one of the1 great problems posed by this! impending growth is the need} for proper planning to prevent] today's older residential dis- trcts from falling into slum con-p ditions and renewing those‘ which have already reached The federal government haal V completed. , Mr. Bates also reported onI of rls-l *a standing offer to pay half the costs of local slum clearance. Yet in 13 years only 500 acres of city land had been proposed for renewal and only 68 the corporation's study ing costs in home construction. A three - bedroom bungalow which averaged $l2.000 in 1952» was up to $14,500 last year on. the national average. In On‘ tario alone, the price had jumped to $15,000 chiefly be- cause of the sharper rise in land costs. Costs of raw land for housing development still was and "must go still higher in the face of new demands from both | l .‘VasiNumberO lomesl Seen Canadian Need acres l SSI'IOW AHMOIW rising . the housing .and industrial sec- tors." he said. This land-cost factor made it more important than ever to make the best possible use of the residential areas already existing.

Let‘s . he tests the dia- monds and finds the suit divid- ed 4-2. When he then tackles clubs. West wins with the king. cashes his good diamond, and plays a spade to the king. East returns a spade and South is down at least one. No. 2. East plays the queen of spades which declarer ducks. As the cards lie. South makes the contract. The holdup play succeeds because East's spades .are no longer a threat. East [can establish his spades by re- lturning the suit and playing janothcr spade after he takes 1the arc of clubs. but he will lthen have no entry card. South iloscs two clubs and a spade and gmakes four notrump. i No. 3. East plays the eight of .spades on the seven and South ‘is knocked out of the box. He is. defeated regardless of what he ‘does next. Forced to win th e 'spade. he can do no better than tackle clubs.

He saidl the gaps will be mostly in New- foundland. Prince Edward Is- land and Ontario. Last year there were 230 SC candidates. a record for the party. A New Democratic Party source said his group will field between 210 and 220 candidates, compared with 218 last year. The gaps would be in the At- lantic provinces, Quebec and the Prairies. The largest num- ber ever fielded by the old CCF. forerunner of the NDP. was 20 in the 1945 election.
