Steel Consumption
Less Than 7%
Of Total

British ‘Columbians are per
sistently voclferous in their de-
mand that someone build an in-
tegrated steel plant in théir prov-
Ince.

Tn 1955, the last year for which
figures are currently available;
the total ‘steel consumption of B.
C, at approximately 268,000 tons
was a little less than 7 per cent
of all Canadian steel consump
tion. Ontario accounted for more
than 50 per cent of all Canadian
steel consumption, Quebec for
more than 20 per cent, and Mani-
toba 5.2 per cent. In each of
the other six provinces consump-
tion was less than 5 per cent of
the Canadian total.

But while the total amount of
steel consumed in B, C. in 1955
was less than 7 per cent of total
Canadian. steel. consumption, im-
ports of steel from foreign: coun-
tries into that. provincé were
more than 50 per, cent of. the

* When Mrs. Wilson planned to go shopping, her
husband Tom said: “Meet you at the bank.”

It was a natural thing to say, for going to the
bank is just a’ part of everyday life.

In the bank, Mrs. Wilson noticed: Miss Ellis

the schoolteacher-. . : Mr. Cooper the storekeeper
‘ ...and her neighbour's son Bobby,
adding to his savings account.

When Tom arrived, he grinned:
“Seems like everybody goes to the
bank.”” Ie's true. Canadjans find the
chartered banks such a safe and handy ;
place to keep o6ney that practically
everybody has a bank account. There are
now more than 10 million deposit.accounts
in the chartered banks—more accounts
than there are adults in the country.
