Your credit-rating is priceless.
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. Write to;

renovations are on schedule
and advance renovation of
heating and ventilating portion
and the alteration and ad-
ditions to the elementary
facility have been approved by
the ministry of education for
Victoria Public School in
Goderich. As of this date

trainable retarded wing has not
been given.
A test hole excavated at
Blyth Public School to check
the septic system showed that
seepage of the water table is
evident at a six foot depth
which is approximately, four
feet below existing tile bed and
that the tile bed was exposed
and found to be clean and dry.
The Medical Officer of Health
has been contacted by Brian

the present time the septic tank
is being pumped out regularly.

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.

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.
