PM on Kong Sun! at m Wounded Squa- mAn mu to Endiv9000m loSOOpm Waterloo Alderman Doreen Thomas was right- fully upset in Council this week. due to an ad that appeared in the K-W Recol'd this weekend. - _ The advertisement, which appeared in the Today section of the daily, was regarding houses for sale in the Beechwood North subdivision. Among other things, the ad stated that the houses were ('cott- venient to schools and shopping." They may be convenient to shopping, but they me not close to schools. Aid. Thomas was con- cemed that the ad would mislead prospective home-buyers into thinking their kids would be liv- ing close to a school. 'In fact. childten in the area will be buseerto downtown schools such as Alexandra public school. _ It's not clear at this time whether the statement made in the Record ad was intentionally or unin- tentionally inaccurate. _ - Mayor Marjorie Carroll agreed that the informa- tion was very misleading, since young families shopping for homes would take the information provided "as gospel". " What is clear is that this type of misleading sales pitch should be wooded out, especially when it concerns a matter as vital as the purchase of a house. The results when advertising such as this conti- nues can be troublesome. For example, home-buyers in the Maple Hills Acres subdivision were told a school would be built in their area, and that was 10 years ago. The school has never been built. Whoever is responsible for new-home advertis- ing - usually the real estate company - should re- member there is more to their iots than simply sell- ing houses. An accurate. fairly objective picture of the house. subdivision and location should be drawn for prospective buyers. Considering the price tags on new houses in this area. surely the unsuspecting buyer deserves at least that.

The upshot of his argument IS that the current at- tempts at fiscal restraint may be sufficient to stop inflation from accelerating. but at the price of mas- snve unemployment. To help cure inflation we will have to make some choices about our consumption We cannot have all the things private corporations have convinced us we need for happiness. plus the government spending on public works such as ex- pressways and airports. plus necessary social pro grams Government deficit spending has allowed us to have all three in the past. We can't afford that luxury any longer We have to make hard choices First the government has to pay for its expenditures by taxa- tion not by borrowing or printing money. Government spending has to be brought in line with government revenues. It is popular, given the tenor of the times. to cut government social programs. These benefit the poor more than the middle class and the middle class has always had far more clout than the poor, However. most of the social programs being cut back are much closer to being necessities for those af- fected than are consumer goods or hard government LATEST _ Ji' I JUST t;ai)i'T, murmur?
