The Canadian Government sponsored a Mission from Great Britain and

Ireland from the 5th to 26th June, to study methods of timber housing construction. The tour, which covered nearly the whole of Canada, was to study growth, felling, methods of factory construction and on-site organisation in terms of efficiency and productivity.

The party comprised members of the building industry, including well-known architects, surveyors, builders, Local Authority officers, timber and Trade Union officials. Among the party was Mr. Ronald Ward, Past President, a Director of the Phoenix Assurance Co. Ltd., and of the Abbey National Building Society. Mr. Ward has kindly made available tlie observations of those associated with the Building Society Movement and the National House Builders Registration Council which, in the light of the Government's Mortgage Option Scheme, are particularly relevant just now.
