Late

It

a

Wc
think
the
moral
of
this

is
that
the

are
around

alive

Trend
to

Indicated
In
Nose
Count
OTTAWA
CP
The
trend
to
toward
�
ward
urban
living
in
Canada
is
shown
in
a
compilation
of
1961
census
figures
by
the
Dominion
Bureau
of
Statistics
Counting
every
centre
of
1000
persons
or
more
as
an
urban
area
the
bureau
found
that
69
6
per
cent
of
the
countrys
popu
population
�
lation
was
urban
In
1956
the
percentage
was
666
At
the
same
time
the
bureau
reported
a
sharp
drop
in
the
number
of
persons
on
rural
farms
down
to
108
per
cent
from
164
but
it
explained
that
a
big
part
of
this
decline
was
due
to
a
different
definition
of
rural
and
non
rural
farms
The
number
of
farms
declined
by
94000
under
the
census
fig
figures
�
ures
but
the
bureau
said
about
41000
of
these
were
taken
