The average price on the multiple listing service rose to, $178,700 from $144,900, the board said. Board figures- show there were 144 sales of homes priced above $500,000 during the first four months of 1988, main- ly on Vancouver's west side — compared with just 44 such sales during the same period last year. Although the number of homes sold in April was down 10 per cent from March's record-breaking level, sales were still up 12 per cent from last April's leve's, The value of mést Great- er Vancouver homes has risen by eight to 12 per cent in the past year, said Jerry Jackman, Royal Le- Page vice-president, but west side values have jumped by as much as 30 per cent. “Activity has just gone crazy, and a lot of that is due to the (strong) econ omy,” he said. “Everybody said we'd have (an econ- omic slowdown) by the end of 1988 and then they said it would be delayed until the middle of 1989. Now they're pushing it out of 1989 altogether.” \ The Earl White Review 4t| SANDMAN INN 1944 Columbia Ave. Castlegar 365-8444 held at the Rossland United Church on Tuesday.

They will present their psalms and hymns at the United Nations as well as at other ethnic, religious, and multicultural events in New York.

Negotiations were underta- ken to have a Doukhobor choir participate at the spec- ial session. The first session was held in 1973 when George Igna tieff and Geoffrey Pearson were highly instrumental in the creation of a world con- terence on disarmament. The second special session was held in 1982. Eaflier this year Castlegar was accepted into the United Nations Association as a local branch. It will have a vocal representation this summer.

Week after week, the paycheque comes in — and soon seems to vanish, leaving not a trace behind, Yet there are plenty of ‘ways to build savings, say financial experts. And they don't have to be painful. “Most people can save money,” says Gordon Pape, a 's just a matter of applying writer on personal finances. “ yourself a little bit.” One of the best ways of saving is to pay yourself a salary, says chartered accountant Lyman MacInnis. “Every pay-day you pay yourself something,” he says. it in like paying bills. It may be only a few dollars, 's something and you can give yourself bonuses “You work but at least periodically.” Another way is to allocate a fixed percentage, say 10 per cent, of your income for savings, says MacInnis. DON'T OVERDO But MacInnis, a senior partner with the Toronto firm Touche Ross, advises against going overboard. “T've seen more of this type of saving founder because of over-ambition than anything else. So don't’ overdo it.” Another way of saving without much pain is to take a~ percentage of any pay raise and put it in the bank, says Pape, author of Building Wealth: Achieving Your Financial Goals. Financial consultant Brian Costello says better planning when doing the weekly shopping could leave a surprising amount of cash for savings. Many people run out of one food item or another before shopping day. Off they go to the corner store where the same product may cost up to 30-per-cent more than at the ‘supermarket, “That 30 per cent extra out of their pockets might not be much in a week but over the years it will certainly add up,” says Costello in his book Your Money and How to Keep It, “And don't forget that these are after-tax dollars. We have probably paid out 30 cents on the dollar to our employer in taxes and now we are paying an extra 30 cents on the dollar because we didn’t plan in advance.” Another approach is to set aside at least $10 a week for an “investing-in-myself” account, Costello suggests. Use some of that money to buy sale-priced goods, he says, adding that it’s also a good idea to take advantage of coupon offers. Maclnnis says some people earmark their pocket Hl CASTLEGAR SAVINGS CREDIT UNION change for savings.
