MEMBER OF CANADIAN WEEKLY NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION Rand 43 f THE STAR EDITORIAL PAGE Notes and Buying a House ? ~ Canada is expecting a house-building boom in the seventies. If it does take place all sorts of new materials and new methods of assembling those materials will be available to the purchaser. Scientific research has waded through the rather blatant cheap pioneer stage with many of its new products so that synthetics in almost any field no longer scream at you as something phony--an imitation of something else; plastic that looks like wood, plastic that looks like leather, plastic that shatters in cold or . loses form in heat; many of these short- comings have been corrected and synthet- ics are something in themselves. Conse- quently they have taken on a much better style. - . This does not mean we have scrapped all the old materials. People want a bit of real stone, heavy timber and good metal in their homes. These are now used har- "moniously with the newer materials. Peo- ple also want. space and luxury detail as never before. The basic home market has been satisfied and the new buyers are more particular, better informed and - 7 Comments generally more discriminating. They can look forward to heating by electricity, new plumbing with plastics = used for pipes, better control of humidity, - dust and germs. A With all these new man-made features let us not forget nature's contribution. We 48% Sarats in our district to have plenty Of trees. Builders of developments so often level all the land and take off the trees that may have taken twenty-five to fifty years to grow. It makes their job easier, It also makes one conscious of the first owners of the new houses strug gling to replace those trees with pitiful little shrubs at an exorbitant cost after having consulted a landscape gardiner-- an additional cost. How much better it would be to per- suade your builder, if you have the chance, to save those trees--plan your living areas' to take advantage of their shade. It may cost you as high as two hundred dollars in some cases but that is much better than spending a good deal more than that after your house is built and still having some- thing much less worthwhile. The Return of Colonial Style Decorator's to-day are making hay out of the good old colonial style. Danish "modern has for the time taken a back seat in Canada and with the advent of Chrysler farm village at Morrisburg all sorts of old treasurers are coming out of the closets. Port Perry must be rich in such treasures because its population was for many many years very stable and even now is more so than many newer communities. It would be interesting to have a few of these old family heirlooms brought in to the Port Perry Star and photographed. Their stories should accompany them. We remember seeing the old hitching posts in the form of cast iron horses' heads. These now sell for fifty dollars in city antique shops. We wonder where they all went? Cream parlor. Do you remember that parlor on a hot Saturday night with a big banana split sitting in front of you and ._- the smell of new bread behind you? 1 "The ice cream chairs: from Gerrow's Ice... . wonder where the chairs are now? The windsor-backed benches from our Sunday School! Remember the children in rows sitting on these? There must be interesting kerosene lamps and iron kettles, even Betty lamps and candle-snuffers about. Old clocks and mirrors, table writing desks and cop-. per warming pans. Enough to equip a museum, no doubt. As you know our former editor Samuel Farmer knew of the existence of a lot of these things as he went about collecting material for his book "On the Shores of Scugog. - Perhaps the Women's Institute of the district knows of many more. Per- haps. this is_the.group-that ought to con-------- sider the planning necessary to preserve such things for our district.

TLE Re ---------- Scugog - One week late the Head W.A. met at the home of Clara Dowson on Wed. night. Seventeen ladies including After summer, yacations we feel as if we are settling down to a season of honest endeavours which bring many problems of various natures. Therefore the devotional part of the program centred around satisfactory solutions. Accordingly, we were guided in song with, Saviour Like a Shepherd Lead Us. The Scripture from James related the ideas expres- sed in Jane Scott's article read by- Reta Wilson, in which she questioned, "Is God interested in our practical problems?" Her conclusions stressed the--life- of -Dr.~ Carver in -his -work with the humble peanut. Jane had them related God's interest and help to her own personal problems, where most of us would be inclined to ne- glect our request of God's help. Our "meeting: then changed to a lighter but. seasonal "School Days". The roll call had us recall our. favourite school subject. Spelling was in the minority. Dorothy Martyn read an article on the life of our leader Mrs. Hutchison, of Toronto who will direct the pro- ceedi of the new organization -of United Church Women, When Dor- othy concluded, we all realized that a very wise choice had been made as it seems that Mrs. Hutchison has every essential quality. Clara had procured a very humour- ous reading, "Trying to Lick the Teacher", But she gave Dorothy the honour of presenting it. :The moral was that, "A Braggart and a Bully are a coward and a fool", During the business discussion there was considerable exchange of coinage. It had been deéided that each family would prefer to defiafe $1. in lieu of a Sept. supper. Dorothy Martynland Reta Rodman received small gifts for having the longest (2% mi.) and shortest (4 or |b steps) walk to school. : Dorothy also had a very clever con- test involving parts of the body.
