"Some farmers own just a few acres of land and run thousands of birds (poultry)," he explained. 1-luron County farmers attended a meeting in Clinton Wednesday night to discuss the matter. They were told by Rae Cunningham of Toronto, director of properties, Ontario Federation of Agriculture, that conflicting interpretations of the assessment Act as to what constitutes a farmer have created • problems over the years in respect to all assessing and particularily to assessing for business taxation. Not all farmers have been assessed for business purposes • • Zurich council start water plan Zurich council will apply to the Ontario Municipal Board for approval to construct a • • waterworks system expected to cost $130,366. Plans are to charge the cost as a waterworks rate for a 20-year period. The system would include a ground level reservoir, a pump house and installation of high lift pumps, water mains and • • fire hydrants.

The buying public in Ontario is to have added protection, it was learned Thursday at the consumer protection conference in Clinton attended by about 350 persons. The Consumer Protection Act, outlined at the meeting by Exeter lawyer Elmer D. Bell QC, makes it mandatory for itinerant salesmen to give the consumer a receipt which gives the name and address of the vendor, the name of the buyer and a description of the goods purchased. With this information, the consumer can cancel the contract if he sends a registered letter within 48 hours of the sale to the vendor indicating his intentions to opt out.. A. R. Walker, registrar of the Consumer Protection Bureau of the Ontario department of financial and commercial affairs, said the act is aimed at high-pressure fast-talking salesmen who convince customers to buy their products before they have had a reasonable opportunity to think the matter over clearly. He said the two-day "cooling-off period" prescribed in the act gives the consumer a chance to cancel a contract he or she really didn't want in the first place. It is also designed to prevent misleading or deceptive advertising. Complaints can be directed to the bureau through Queen's Park in Toronto, it was pointed out. Mr. Walker also urged consumers to be well informed of their rights. He said that if consumers would advise the Consumer Protection Bureau of unethical businessmen and business tactics, society could soon be rid of such pests. "All of us have a great responsibility on our shoulders and, as we move along the slithery slope to a cashless, chequeless society, business, consumers and government will have difficult, uncharted paths to follow and we must assist one another to keep the road free Dear Editor, Through the news media of your paper, and the news bulletins sent from the Usborne Central Schobl office, we have been given to understand that the fee for the use of the auditorium and kitchen of the school is as follows — Auditorium, $10.00 non-profit, $15.00 profit. Auditorium plus kitchen, $15.00 non-profit, $25.00 profit. We as a community organization feel that these higher rates are outrageous, and a result will break down our community sociability. Due to higher rates of taxes we feel that we are paying over and over to use something that should be our privilege to use at a much lower rate. The caretaker should certainly receive remuneration • for any necessary services, outside of this, it seems that any say that a community may have once had, has certainly been taken away from them. Will the Huron County Board of Education profit by higher rates and non-usage, or from lower rates and a real community spirit?
