This is what Ontario is doing to help you protect it. Ontario has passed a new Consumer Reporting Act, one of the Most im- portant pieces of consumer legis- lation in the province's history. It deals with the reporting, ex- change and gathering of both credit and personal information related to your life-style and character. It goes into effect July 2, 1974. After that date you'll have the right to know what is being reported about you and to whom. And if the infor- mation is inaccurate Or incomplete, you'll have the opportunity to cor- rect it. This is particularly important be- cause, today, masses of information about your buying, credit and per- sonal habits are being collected, stored, and distributed by people you have never met. This information can influence where—or if--you will work, how much you can borrow, insurance you can obtain and whether you are acceptable as a tenant. So your gov- ernment here in Ontario has passed the Consumer Reporting Act to en- sure that you have access to your own the. The Act is designed to protect you, the consumer, as far as the law can do so. It guards your basic rights. It gives you a place to write for help if you run into problems. • To find out the many ways the Act works to your advantage, send for a free Consumer Reporting Act brochure.

The next Board meeting will be held August 12 at 2 p.m. with no meeting in July. They came, they saw, they conquered the hearts of the many students gathered to learn of creative dance techniques, Michael Dzandza and Samuel, Allotey are from Accra the capital city of Ghana in Africa, They had joined John McCarron, physical education consultant and public relations officer from Huron Perth R,C,S.S. board on his recent visit to Sacred Heart School in Wingham to teach the senior class the fundamentals of Creative Dance and St. Joseph's School in Clinton, Mr., McCarron proceeded from the known to the unknown as the girls displayed their skills in folk dancing. The visitors experienced initially the sequences of an English dance entitled "Green-sleeves". John McCarroll polished up the style of each movement by running through all the basic steps in a "dry run" procedure with the thought in mind that their visitors could become part of this presentation. In no time at all, Michael, Samuel and John McCarroll joined in with the class to bridge the generation, cultural, and racial gaps that originally were evident between a grade 8 class and their visitors from another continent. Later, familiar tunes , were recalled and as each par- ticipant moved with the stimulating beats of various musical pieces, all moved in their own individual style shed- ding the formal approach. Truly a communication that ignored different dialects, languages, and cultures was at- tained. Michael and Samuel moved around the gymnasium revealing with the gathered students that music has no barriers, but rather it offers a warm feeling of unity. It projects the humanity approach that God has created us all as equal. How did Michael and Samuel leave their African en- vironment and find themselves sharing in the learning process of a Canadian school at- mosphere? They are guests of Miss Margaret Whyte of RR 2 Seaforth. In 1972, Margie had spent some time with the Negrito tribesmen of the Northern Philippines. She had volun- teered to take time from her life to join the Canadian Crossroads International to foster international co- operation and intercultural un- derstanding between natives of Africa, Asia, West Indies, and South America in close person to person relationships in globular development with Canadians. As Margie had to travel and learn to understand, to bridge, to accept challenges, to submit to changes and to respond to cultures and life styles so dif- ferent than her own, Michael and Samuel reciprocated by travelling to Canada and are being presently exposed to our Canadian culture and mode of life. Michael's background in education consists of an elementary education and five years of study in the sciences, of Water is fun, but it demands respect. It is only common sense to make sure your boat has the proper emergency equipment on board before you start out. A bailing can, an an- chor and a paddle are musts. Everyone on board should have a government-approved per- sonal flotation device. Children and weak swimmers should wear theirs. * * * Overcrowding a boat is asking for an accident. Make two trips hi safety. Always check the weather before you set out in a boat. If there are storm warnings don't take a chance. Keep in the swim with Red Cross Water Safety.

LEONARD LOVELL KIPPEN West of No, 4 Highway at KIppen intersection 25,26b physics and chemistry, elemen- tary maths, biology, geography and English language, Michael is from a family of 15 children, His father has two wives, which is an accepted custom. Michael's hobbies are driving, travelling and music. He has worked with his father at his motor repair shop as 4 recep- tionist, messenger clerk and chauffeur, Michael is a regular church goer of the Presbyterian Sect. He is 2$ and has ambition to better his grades to enter university and study engineering, Samuel, who was born in 1944 in Accra with a population of about three million, comes from a family of 18 children. After elementary education, Samuel attended a technical school for one and a half years. Later, he took a private course under some trained engineers. He received the bulk of his education in a practical way by spending a great deal of time with an elec- trical contractor; they built and wired a hotel. In 1967, Samuel changed his career to a Produce Examiner. His duty was to prohibit the ex- portation of inferior cocoa to the world market. Because cocoa is their backbone agricultural product in Ghana, they must maintain the quality of standard to help their beloved country. Samael is in- terested in the arts as he often attends the arts centre "Aoan- sekrom" for shows. His plan now is to be .an electrical engineer and to get his own workshop. Samuel's hobbies are horse riding, travelling, arid Bible reading, Although Michael and Samuel are of different families, dialects, religions, and futures, they sure do have something in common they both possess generous smiles and , really do communicate. Both will assist Margie at Camp Menesetung near Goderich, a project of the Huron-Perth Presbytery of the United Church of Canada. This camp is open to all religions beginning with a co-ed camp July 14-21 for 12,15 yr.; junior girls - July 21.28, ages 11-12; parents without partners, July 28-Aug. 2; junior girls, Aug. 4- 11, 9-10 yrs.; and finally junior boys, Aug. 11-18, 9-12 yr, Michael and Samuel will return to Ghana in September leaving their imprints on many a Canadian, leaving them with more tolerance, understanding, and acceptance that we are merely God's creatures no mat- ter our heritage.
