Campsite operators usually insist on advance payment of the full amount owing tor the entire term of the lease. Twenty-year leases can cost between $5,000 and $25,000.

It appears that parents are also having a love af- fair with the letter 'J' when it comes to naming their sons. On the registrar general's list of most popular boys' names there are five beginning with the letter 'J' in the top 15 - Jason, James, Joseph, Justin and Joshua. "The business of one's name and its meaning is a never ending source of fascination for most peo- ple," says the Deputy Registrar.

Library ... continued from page 3 out and enjoy our library! Mrs. Norah McGuire reported that an arrange- ment of original pictures will be on display in the library during Centennial Week July 15-21, with a larger display in the Recreation Centre during that same period.

The next regular meeting of the CWL will take place in September following sum- mer break. current owner has been running the site and check facilities carefully for signs of neglect. It's possible to be certain a company will survive for the next 20 years, but choosing a well- maintained, obviously viable operation can help minimize the risks. . When considering a new campsite that has yet to be complete, don't accept ver- bal promises that swimm- ing pools, snack bars and other facilities will be built. Check with local municipal officials and the Medical Officer of Health to ensure everything promised -has been included in the registered development plan. \ If you plan to use the 'property for winter sports find out if it is accessible and fully serviced year- round. How many sites are in the area? Could it become too crowded? Where is the nearest hospital? Is the swimming pool supervised? Once satisfied that the site will meet your family's needs, call in a lawyer to look over the lease and search the title to ensure the property is not too heavily mortgaged. Most operators charge a monthly maintenance or service fee in addition to the lease payments. Be sure the fee is set out in the lease and find out how any in- creases would be calculated. Can the owner raise the fee arbitrarily? In- sist on including a clause in -the contract allowing you to sublet or transfer your lease to someone else without charge. unce the deal is finaliz- ed, ask your lawyer to register the lease at the ap- propriate Ontario land Registry Office. This will increase your priority as a creditor if the campsite goes out of business - giv- ing you a better chance of recovering at least some money.
