most affluent eras the jprice of housing is beyond most peoples pocktbook according to a report prepared byift iw esler chief appraiser with the brampton real estate firm of e a mjtchell limited chouse prices have increased 50 in six years this has gone up in stages varying from 490 in 1964 to 1520 in 1966 i since 1966 house prices advanced 119 n 1967 and 1015 in 1968 aof all one sided while prices of homes are completely out of line and much more inflationary i than most other spiralling costs in todays 1 world the problem is twopronged we think back to the days when any- one with an average job and a burning de- sire to own a home could do so george- town still has many senior citizens living in comfortable homes paid for over a period of twenty to thirty years this wasnt done without some sacri- fice and- todays young couples have to be prepared to make similar if not even i greater adjustments if they are to have the same success as young couples of thirty forty or fifty years ago perhaps it was easier then a 60 hour working week left men little time to spend money on afterhours entertainment be- sides most families had a large garden transportation was not so rapid nor did many people afford the luxury of an auto- mobile housewives were much busier with little labour saving equipment too thfejjrrtiiitiwhaj a reasonably priced house ten years ago in the 12000 bracket is today selling for 18000 and while there has been wage increases too these hava riot kept pace at all with inflated prices of homes it is also evident too that besides the startling rise in the price of homes art upsurge in inter est rates has made it doubly difficult foran average resident to own his own home or even if he can foot a substantial down payment to pay for it in his lifetime whatever our senior governments can do to stabilize the situation will be a pro gressive step it may be old fashioned but we still think one of mans main goals in life should be to own his own little corner of the universe it was an age when that burning des ire to buy and pay for a home was allim portant and many people were willing to deprive themselves of luxuries to cut every corner possible to make mortgage payments and anticipate the day when the house was clear of debt if men could save and buy a house in the twenties and thirties when few famil ies boasted the double income of a work ing wife then it is still possible today de spite inflation but young couples must be prepared to save money to give up a percentage of luxuries if one isnt a commuter it is still possible

old it was -xusti-iona- time ago it was a pleasant shock to haar m hfnfe the pleasure ma from his raport that h was alive amf wall and curling and skiing the shock was the realization that the jthtlafnan w called old flamr is only about 22 years older than i am strangely as things so often happen in the world 1 wis talking abouthinrlti school that very day the- kids and were talking about corporal punishment strapping slapping the whole business i told them about how miss liza mccuuough used to break pointers over my head regularly and miss ma walker used t strap me and my young brother and a kid called geegee relyea three times a week whether we needed it or net and we liked them and bow mr cosgrove our science teacher a man of gigantic proportions and the patience of a saint used to sweep two of us off our stools with one cuff and we never held it against him and how my old math teacher at a point when even the angels would be tried used to give us a punch with two knuckles just below the ribs and we liked and re spected him when we got our breath jack those people got a rotten deal financially and socially from the community but at least they could clobber a kid and thats worth a lot of money if you even shake your finger at some rotten little hoodlum nowadays he either turns out to be a barrack room lawyer or else hes too big to clip on the ear because
