Alberta legislature names a redistribution committee to redraw electoral divisions and gives first reading to amendments to the Child Welfare Act and Marriage Act. Premier Manning notes population shifts since the last redistribution, with Edmonton representation at 17,000 voters and rural seats as low as 4,400.

The Marriage Act would delay issuing licences to divorcees for 30 days and require parental consent for marriages under 21.

Low Cost Home Proposed By Prairie Lumbermen
Prairie lumbermen released specifications for a $3,300 low cost house aimed at easing Canada’s housing crunch. The 22 by 22 foot frame dwelling with semi basement offers two bedrooms a living room and kitchen with a porch that could become a bath room. They urged changes to the National Housing Act to allow long term low interest mortgages up to 95 percent of actual valuation and easier lending for cities under 5,000 population. The plan, submitted to Reconstruction Minister Winters, awaits government decision. Retired actor John Maurice Sullivan dies at 73 in Hollywood.
