A couple of college students In the East recently
figured they could capitalize on gullt by writing ghost
letters home for classmates who.were too busy to do it
themselves.

They placed an ad in the foce' paper topped by a
plaintive, ‘WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WROTE
YOUR MOTHER?” It went on to explain how for three
bucks, they would write four letters home over a
two-month period. By the end of the day, orders began

Time Sharing Makes ‘Expensive’ Vacations Affordable —

Time Sharing is a new

‘db! that even
for those people fortunate
enough to be able to buy a
vacation property and build a
home on, it, “there is very
little left over to add many of
the luxuries that make your
vacation a joy.”

Comforts like air condition-
ing, swimming pools, saunas,
tennis courts, golf courses,

ete., are either too expensive -

to consider in a vacation
‘home or are too impractical
to consider. Sharing the cost
to build and maintain these
luxuries through Time Shar-

ing a resort condominium -

makes sense.

Also,. Time Sharing pro-
vides a new carefree way to
go on vacation. “All you do is
unpack your suitcase. Main-
tenance men cut the grass,
trim the hedges and clean the
swimming pool. There is time
for golf, tennis, skiing, horse-
back riding and all the fun
things of a vacation.”

While downplaying the pos-
sible opportunity for an in-
crease in value through the
years of Time Share units

purchased, now, the Green
Keres Castle Realty spokes-

“man does admit to the

possibility.

Inflation is a very important
factor, he remarks, noting
‘that it wasn't too long ago
when first-class’ hotel and
motel rooms were $10 a
night, Now they're anywhere
from $30 to $100 a night.
“Try and predict what they l
be 10 years from now,” he
suggests. “In future, unless
you own Time Share units,
you will be paying, very

in the sale of the property at
that time.

. The type of Time Sharing
that Green ‘Acres Castle:

Realty is involved with is
based on a registered inter-
est in the real estate. The
purchaser has clear title and

can keep it, sell it, or even’

leave it to his children in his
_ will.
>The owner has the right to

possess his property contin-
uously for the time period
purchased and wholly sep-
arate from the right and
interest of any other person.
He also owns an undivided
interest in the common ele-
ments such as sauna, pool,
tennis courts, beach and’
other facilities.

Another major advantage
with the Time Sharing pro-

gram with which Edblad's
company is associated is the
exchange program which has
been developed.

Unit owners may exchange
the time they own in once
resort for an equivalent time
in another resort,

For example, you can spend
your holiday one year sun
bathing in Florida, the next
year skiing in Colorado, the

TIME S

next year either surfing in
Hawaii or watching the bull
fights in Spain.

Some of the Time Sharing
resorts which Green Acres
Castle Realty offers are the
Oceana Garden Villas in
Florida, the San Diego Coun-
try Estates in California, the
Club Tahoe in'Nevada, and
the Kuleana Club in Maui,
Hawaii.

When you Time Share a
vacation unit in one of these
developments “all you have
to bring with you is a tooth
brush!” Your unit is compl-
etely equipped for gracious
living with quality furniture,
color TV, direct dial phone,
fully-equipped kitchens, bed
linens, ete.

What about the future?

Edblad, an engineer, notes
that computers were leaders
in the time sharing field.
Because of the large invest-
ment involved several busi-
nesses purchased the compu-

ter and then time shared its’
use,

He foresees the day when
individuals who own time
shares at a resort -will also
own a time share in a car.
Leasing companies, he sag-
gests, will be able to offer
better prices for three-year
leases than they can on ohe- |
or two-week leases,

The possibilities, he says,

‘are limitless. And people who

get involved in this new
concept in vacation home
ownership now will be the
people who will benefit the
most in the future.
