Recreation Committee needs
support from residents
For quite some years,
the Colborne Township
Recreation Committee
has been • active and,
while not making a big
noise, a few Colborne
residents have tried hard
to make available dif-
ferent forms of
recreation such as
swimming classes for
children each summer,
softball for boys and girls
in the §Yrnmer, and card
parties in 'Colborne
Township Hall during the
winter months. They laid
the corner -stone for the
Maitland Valley Trail
and last winter, ten ladies
'took advantage of the
weaving classes in the
Colborne Township Hall.
- —Rut -the- lack. of-inte t
is an important factor
and is quite evident. If it
continues, the committee
will have to cease.
Have you children
going to school who would
be interested in the
swimming lessons in 1979
or who would like to be on
the softball teams next
summer; or are .you -older
and do you enjoy the card
parties in the hall and
would you like these to
continue?
A meeting of the
Colborne Township
Recreation Committee is
called for Wednesday,
January 17 at 8 pm in
Colborne Township Hall:
More residents
are needed- to join .and
help in this work, so
please come out and lend
your support. It's urgent.
It is entirely up to you.

Sho*rt term mortgage rates
Families' or individuals
contemplating purchase
of a- home in 1979 were
advised to' obtain. the ,
shortest term possible on
their mortgage loans, by
Lloyd • G. Metcalf,
president of the 50,000 -
member Canadian Real
Estate Association.
In this way, he said in a
year-end statement, they
will be affected only for a
short time by the current
high interest rates.
"Historically, mor-
" tgage interest rates have --
advanced and receded in
, cycles, and although we
have not reached the
interest rates of 1976, we
• appear to be at or near
the crest and a plateau
now. Lower rates should
reappear within a year or
so.
"That is why it would
seem, prudent to seek a
short term loan of oneor,,-
two years, then renew it
—w -hen the—term-2.e.wire-§,_
hopefully at a lower
rate." '
Another money -saving
alternative for 1979 would
be to take over an
existing lower interest
first mortgage when
purchasing a regale home
and not have it
refinanced. A sin all
second mortgage, held by
the vendor, could be a
genuine rnoneY saver, he
•
reasoned.
Metcalf said there
should be some "good
buys" 41n homes in the
year aheadand expects
the buyer's- market to
continue with . both
builders and vendors
facing stiff, competition.
The beneficiary in both
instances should be the
buyer, Metcalf said, with
price increases, if any,
remaining well below the
general increase in rents, -
which oddly enough are
-controlled.- _
Real estate is still the
best value for the dollar
in a period of inflation,"
he maintained. ,"It not
only retains its value, but
• mortgage loans are paid,'
off in ever cheaper'
dollars, which means a
smaller and smaller
'partion of income has to
be spent on housing.
Meanwhile, rents are
paid in ever -rising
current value dollars,
making it difficult, if not
impossible, to allocate a
s m ler 1--ri-cif-in-c•
to shelter." -
Metcalf forecast
housing ^ starts will
decline for the second
year in a row as demand
for new housing falls off.
"At least 10,000 fewer
dwelling units will be
built" in -1979 than in 1978,"
he suggested,. "as
