The Acton Fre Pros Wednesday November 1 I Beautiful Nassagaweya home Horse barn in his front yard By Roy Downs When Peter sold his business In the city and decided to retire to the country two years ago he purchased a acre parcel of farmland In northern Nassagaweya Township and built one of the townships most beautiful and homes The house has a rustic yet modem character for he knocked down a large bam and built the home on the foundations of the original bam high on a with a breathtaking view He saved some of the better old beams from the bam and used them in the celling of his living room for an open beam effect Archways were ef fectively used across the front of the home where the original bam stones were at their best and the remainer of the original foundation has been stuccoed Theres a large balcony running around three sides of the home on the second floor level It Is without a doubt one of Nassagaweyas most beautiful homes There Fa only one drawback Bam la his front yard His neighbor J has erected a horse bam on the comer of the Ottaway Property Just feet from Mr front door Ono horse lives there Besides ruining the view from their front yard the bam according to Mr and Mrs Saegllti produces hordes of files and emits a typical bamllkc odor Whats worse the horse bam Is com- legal according to the township by- ws and it does not contravene Department of Health regulations Mr and Mrs Saeglltt are stuck with It and there Is little they can do About their only hope Is the erection of one very high fence along the front of their property line perhaps the height of the bam Behind that they could plant a row of thick trees to hide the new fence from their front yard view Their only alternative is to sell the house and move back to the They have considered It quite seriously The problem Is who wants to purchase a beautiful homo like that with a horse barn almost right in the front yard Surrounded on three sides Mr and Mrs say they looked around quite a bit for a suitable place to build their retirement home before deciding on the parcel They purchased a Ushaped land acres in total on the northeast comer of the Sixth Lineas intersection Their neigh bor J owns a one acre parcel fronting on Slderoad which the Saeglltt property surrounds on three sides west north and east Because the bam foundation was In good shape and tho hilltop location afforded good

MILTON OUT vain wmkrtayt till Sit Sun till pm Ontario Is there any place youd rather be Ontarians arc the kind of people who wouldnt be here if there was any place better We are people who came from a hundred lands and stayed to build People with backbone and brawn and a hunger to succeed Men and women whove created a stan dard of living in decades that other lands worked centuries to build If we have a flaw its our chronic modesty Ontarians may be proud to be and Canadians they just seldom tell anyone From an economic point of view thats wrong The more people we have boosting Ontario and Canada the better it is And weve got a lot to boost with At a time when the dollar is having many demands made on it Ontarians can note that provincial taxes have held the line in 1970 And we had a surplus to boot Yet needed programs have not been neglected The Ontario Housing Corporation for example has housed people to date and currently has almost a billion dollars worth of programs active in nearly 200 Ontario Communities We need a vigorous economy of course to support these important programs And thats where you come in Though our productivity has doubled in ten years and our incomes in twelve Ontarians dont sit on their successes Theres a demanding decade ahead full of challenges and opportunities to make the quality of our lives better yet To meet these challenges weve got to believe in ourselves Which when you think about it isnt such a bad idea Everytime you boost Ontario Ontario and Canada get a little stronger Government of Ontario John Prime Minister
