the upgrading of the home. A refrigerator
and stove are included in the purchase
price of all units and all lots are sodded.
The exteriors of the homes are all
maintenance -free brick and maintenance -
free (vinyl) siding.
According to Mr. McTeague all homes
will be registered and owners will receive
a five year Ontario New Home Warranty.
They will also receive a one year builder's
warranty.
Mr. McTeague said the $89,900 minimum
price tag on the homes is in keeping with
Royal Orchard home's goal to provide af-
fordable housing.
"It's not a question of the price - but of
affordability," he said.
He explained. Since the minimum
amount that can be put down on a home, to
qualify for Canada Mortgage is 10 per
cent, a person buying a basic Royal Or-
chard home ($89,900) would have to take
out a mortgage of $80,910. On that balance
the minimum requirement of a husband
and wive's gross income would have to be
$240/week/person.
"When we made our application for sub-
divison we had to go through 35 levels of
government," said Mr. McTeague, "but I
think everyone will benefit. I think this
subdivision will contribute to everyone and
that is what we're all about."
"That's what growth is all about, and
we've got to make people understand. The
growth of a family comes within the
achievement of the family as a whole."
Seaforth will have .a new sports shop
The coming summer has Seaforth's Main
Street merchants busy with renovations,
alterations, and improvements.
CUSTOM ART DESIGNS
Nigel Dumas of Custom Art Designs is'
making major changes to his business and is
expanding into sports wear and equipment.
Mr. Dumas has run a silk screening
business in Seaforth for about four years,
and has always been involved with athletic
teams -putting crests and names on
uniforms. Recently he has decided to fill one
of the holes in Seaforth's retail sector by
providing sports equipment, and still main-
tain his current business.
He started by completely renovating his
store -dropping the ceiling, putting in new
walls and painting. New carpeting will be
coming iii soon. The sports equipment will
also be coming in soon and will include a lit-
tle of everything for Seaforth area's many
sports enthusiasts. Baseball and hockey
equipment will be heavily stocked, but
broomball, soccer, tennis and other sports
will also be catered to.

be 'opening within the month, and Mr.
Dumas is optimistic about its future.
"There's enough people in town involved
in sports in every direction that it should
work," he says.

Seaforth Financial Services has
undergone some storefront renovations late-
ly. A garden area has been planted beside
the building, the front of the building has
been scrubbed clean, and the wooden trim
has been painted.
However, there is still work to be done on
the building. Some wood on the storefront
has to be replaced, there is painting to be

rently in the process of looking over dif-
ferent awning styles. '

ed within the month, adding an estimated 30
extra parking spaces to the grocery store's
lot.

to be torn down may be saved and made an
addition to a display in the Huron County By next Wednesday or Thursday the
business expects to have its doors open

SUNRISE DAIRY
The empty storefront where Seaforth
Electronics used to be is going to be filled by
a Wingham business which is expanding in-
to Seaforth.
Sunrise Dairy, which will be celebrating
25 years of business in Wingham on July 2,
will be expanding with stores opening
across Southwestern Ontario. The business
hopes to open 10 stores hi towns in this area
eventually, and Seaforth will be the flint.
The store is to be a small variety store.
More lines of window treatments - such as Patricia Bailey, who owns the family
draperies, vertical and venetian blinds, and business with her husband Renus, says the
pleated shades will be displayed, as the idea is to offer consumers fresh milk at a
business turns more toward complete home low price. She says Sunrise can offer its
decor. milk cheaper through one of its own stores
because of the elimination of the "middle-
man".
The store will employ four Seaforth people
-one manager and three students- who have
yet to be hired. ,
Mrs. Bailey says she Is positive about
Seaforth, and has been considering locating
here for sometime. Sunrise has been involv-

interior renovations to accommodate a new
display area. Charlie Campbell, owner of
the business, has been going about a gradual

the store, to make room for display of new
home decorating products. The last of the
giftware is being sold off, and new lines of
complementary decorative products such
as brass, wood, and towels will be displayed
in the store within the next few months.

been closed in recent days to prepare for

cupboards, brass, chinas and crockery
is coining into the business, and the staff is
busy moving out the old stock to prepare for
the new.
Seaforth to be -friendly, which is part of the
reason they decided to locate here. The
other reason is because, she says, "we
believe in rural Ontario."
Sunrise Dairy has sold its milk all over
Southwestern Ontario, and is currently
opening stores in places were Sunrise milk
is not otherwise available to the consumer.
Five stores will likely be opened this year,
and the same number next year.
Mrs. Bailey hopes her family's business
can be active in the Seaforth community.
"If you're in business in a town and you're
making money there, you should put
something back into it. We believe in help-
ing out a community."
To help the community the Baileys hope to
be able to provide dairy products for com-
munity groups, associations, and teams at
various town functions. The Baileys have
been active members of the Wingham
community.
In summing up her optimism for Sunrise's
latest business venture, Mrs. Bailey says
"Seaforth's going to be a great town for
Sunrise."
The business is going to be open in
Seaforth in apprroximately one month, and
there will be opening specials for the first
week or two.
