4 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, October 16, 1974 Section Two Real Estate Sales Soar In Areas Although real estate sales in Metropolitan Toronto dropped substantially, the volume of proper-ty transactions in the major cities and towns east of Metro reached a record in the first seven months of this year, according to Walter Frank of W. Frank Real Estate Limited, local Realtor. Mr. Frank reported that 4,364 properties were sold for $268,987,001 in the first seven months of this year in the local municipalities compared to 4,690 sales for $189,580,947 in the corresponding January and July period of 1973. This is an increase of $79.3 million or 42 per cent. Mr. Frank, who is the leading real estate broker in Ontario, Durham, Northum- berland and Victoria Counties, said that total real estate transactions in Metropolitan Toronto would decline from the $1.9 billion in volume recorded in 1973 to about $1.6 East of Metro billion in 1974. He suggested that record high mortgage interest rates and a scarcity of land had caused the sharp decline in new residential construction and real estate sales in Metro. "This decline in new hous- ing production will result in a shortage next Spring which will again place upward pressure on prices," Mr. Frank predicted. "The region east of Metro - between Pickering and Co- bourg - will capture an additional $100 million in real estate business as more and more families, priced out of the Toronto market, move eastward.", "The vacancy rate in Metro apartments is virtually nil and the average price of a new house is $75,000 with resales going for around $55,000," Mr. Frank said, "whereas com- parable homes in our market are available at up to $20,000 MAPLE GROVE W.I.

The Motto 'We must have good human relations to p roduce public relations had len prepared by Mrs. K. Hopkins, a former emember. Mrs. H. Cryderman read ,the Motto in which Mrs. Hopkins stated "that this must start in the home. The family is the lackbone of our community and if we do not have good luman relations there, we cannot expect to, have good public relations anywhere." A Sing Song was enjoyed by ail with Mrs. W. Laird at the piano. Mrs. Cryderman introduced our guest speaker Miss Pam Zakarow of Bowmanville who had been on of 22 students from High Schools in the Iurham-Northumberland area who had gone on a trip to China last June.

She called on Mrs. Alma Lang- maid for the Motto 'Peace will come when the power of love is stronger than the love of power.aAlma's main thought was that peace will come in the word when ail men become brothers to each other, no matter what the color or creed. Mrs. Murray Vice favored with a piano number, 'Where e'er you Walk' by Handel. The topic on Russia was taken by Mrs. Russell Best. Mrs. Best went on a tour to, Russia a year ago. It was mainly for nurses and doctors - so they visited a number of hospitals. These did not seern as efficient and advancedsas in our country. Doctors are paid $150 a month and nurses $70. Since the government owns everything, they make ail the decisions, and the citizens must abide by ail the rules. There is no free enterprise. People are not inspired to, excel becausethey are not given any rewards. The airport was dismal and poorly lit. Each tourist has a guide assigned to her for the trip. Language is very diffi- cuit, but the guides learn English. Tourists are not permitted any contacts with the ordinary citizens. Of course they couldn't converse anyway. The buses were old and cold. The weather in early September then was around 40 degrees. It seemed cold, rainy and wind blowing. Seeing the sights you must walk a great deal. There are few cars owned by private citizens. They can't afford them. Ail cars look alike - no flashy sports models over there. Secret Police were stationed in the hotel lobby at night. You never know what hotel you'll be staying in, until you arrive. The flight to Russia took 18 hours, and had poor connec- tions. Ail rooms are poorly lit and bathrooms are far from our luxury. The beds are very narrow, with only a sheet and blanket to put over vou. No heat is used till October. Beds were'nt changed of linen each day. Since the government makes everything there in no competition. Paper products are poor quality. The goveru- ment only makes the things they think are really-neces- sary, as a resuit they don't have many thîngs we take for granted. Plumbing pipes are visible and the shower is lu the middle of the room, with no protection - so water flies ail over. Moscow has 7,000,000 people and Leningrad has 4,000.,000. Citizens are not allowed to move from one location to another, unless gov't. decides it is necessary. Homes are mostly huge apart- ments. Rent is paid by the square foot, so several people live in very small quarters. Farmers are allowed to have small plots to grow a garden for themselves. They can sell produce if they desire. Others are very glad to buy this. The food is good, but not fancy. Much fish is eaten, caviar is served at most meals. Bread is ail brown. There is hardly any night life in Russia. People must be home early and go to bed early. Over 80 per cent of all women work. There are nursery schools for small children. People are paid to have children. No Russian money is allowed to be taken out of the country. The clothes seen are mostly drab and old fashioned. Par- cels are not wrapped, just carried in the shopping bag. People show no expression on their faces. Their attitudes are dismal and sad. The country itself is very beautiful. Tourists are always shown Lenin's Tomb. Pictures of Lenin are very common. The university holds 30,000 out of four doctor-s are women. T'here are actually few doctors in comparison to the popula- tion. Ail buildings are cold. You must remnove your coat when.vou enter. Lt is checked. hiissaid to be for healtht emts. Lu he theatre, ruiad ballet,great skill is displayed. There a.re many under- ground trains. There are 10 tram stations in Moscow. The art galleries are magnificent. But ail pictures represent suffering. There are churches bu sdon special occasions.

E. McGregor & Co. hardware business which will be now known as Lander Hardware. Both brothers were born and raised in Oshawa where they received their primary and secondary school education. Jack, the older went to Queen's University, Kingston, where he graduated in Commerce and Business Administration. He then entered the Royal Bank of Canada where he remained for a little over four years. Before joining the Royal Canadian Navy he was in the purchasing department of the Coca-Cola Co. With the navy he served on Canada's east coast as a navigating officer with the rank of Lieutenant. After his discharge he was with the manufacturing division of the H. J. Heinz Co. at Leamington, and remained withothem until he took over the hardware business. Glenn, the other brother, after he graduated from the Oshawa Collegiate and Vacational School went right into the Royal Bank of Canada. He enlisted with the Royal Canadian Electrical Mechanical Engineers and was overseas with a unit in the First Canadian Division. He saw service in Great Britain, Italy, France, Belgium, Holland and Germany. On his return to Canada he rejoined the bank where he stayed until the two brothers purchased the hardware business. They are both looking forward to giving the service that bas been built up by their former owners and, if possible, bettering it. Mr. M. H. "Monty" Goslett is remaining with them.
