Head Office for Don Hoist .Real Estate Ltd. is 208 10th Street, Hanover, Ontario. John Duddy reports the company sold 14• Vanastra homes in .1974 at the average price of $18,021. Prices ranged from a low of $12,100 to. a 'high of $34,000. In the Spring of 1974 there were rapid increases in house prices with a levelling of the market by mid -year. • At present it is a "Buyer's Market" and prices are comparable to last spring. John recommends future purchasers to buy now while there is a wide selection of low priced homes ' at Vanastra. The factors affecting the Vanastra housing market are no different than those affecting the market in general. High interest rates, punitive taxes on investors, shortage of ,cash and general pessimism in the economy have created a slump ex- pected to continue until later this year. "If you don't.If you own a dog, really have to sell, sit tight take care of him for awhile until the market see stray or loose improves," advises John. our Animal Co If you must sell your home Dick Eisler it should be priced realistically.

First mortgage interest rates are around 12 percent while many Vanastra homes have small first mortgages at 8 percent. It can often help when selling a home if the vendor will assume a first or second mortgage at a reasonable interest rate. Loose Dogs After interviewing John Duddy and then reading about the three-year-old Saskatchewan boy, killed by stray dogs, I felt Vanastra residents should seriously consider what John meant by "the problem of loos dogs". ease a if you ogs phone rol Officer, 24-8148. • I Fund March of Dimes, ility Fund is underway.

There must be enough children to take care of them, for they are in fact the old age pension of the parents. So in order not to starve when one gets old, a, large family is a necessity. Most times it has to be large because of the high death rate among the very young. Old age security is a must before parents can begin limiting. their families, and this social security can only be achieved When a country is wealthy enough to pay for it. We often hear people talk in connection with food shortages in India that we shouldn't help them until they take care of their useless holy cows and if limiting their large families. Before we pass judgement we should first take a look at our own holy cows. We don't have any? Oh yes, we have.

We have two more sessions to take part in at the Vanastra Curling Club. We soon found out that curling is not as easy as it toolts. You do not.throw the rock wherever you want, but must follow the skip's directions. One must keep in mind the proper delivery of a rock and the direction one is aiming. Keep your eye on the skip's broom and remember to put the proper • turn on the rock. If you are a lead, you throw the first two rocks wnile the second and vice -skip sweep it, if it is necessary. After the lead throws his rocks, each player takes his turn, second, vice -skip and then skip until all 16 rocks have been played. At first the rocks seemed heavy, and throwing them seemed awkward, but we soon improved and actually managed to get some rocks in the hoose. We are really enjoying the curling and hope to take part in it more in the future.
