How the Consumer Protection
Act Works to Protect YOU
Intinerant sellers must be registered
Last fall, I was approached by a painter who wanted to paint
my barn for what seemed like a bargain. I paid him $50 in
advance and the next day he came with two helpers and
completed the job. Everything was fine until the "paint"
disappeared with the first rain. The contract we signed only
has his signature. Is there any way to get hold of this man?
No. That "contract" you signed is merely a slip of paper.

lers, (door-to-door salesmen, selling such items as drive-
way paving, encyclopedia, magazines, household .ap-
pliances, aluminium siding and swimming pools, just to
name a few). must be registered. The Act allows the
Registrar to: require the seller to post a $5,000 bond to
guarantee service; start proceedings to refuse or revoke
registration if the seller is not financially responsible; enter
a business premise to investigate a complaint, and prose-
cute the itinerant seller if he gives false information or
refuses to comply with an order. Never give any merchant
or seller more than a five percent downpayment. Beware
of those wanting large downpayments. Established
businessmen rely on mutual honesty and trustworthiness
and they don't expect you to subsidize their operations.
Referral Selling
Last week, my wife and I, with three other couples, bought
encyclopedia sets for our children from a door-to-door
salesman. The salesman offered my wife and me $100 off
our purchase if our friends decided to buy the same set of
books. After thinking things over, we all want to cancel the
deal and get our deposit back. Can we do this?
Yes. Salesmen who tell you that you can get an additional
discount on goods if you get some of your friends to
purchase these goods are practicing "referral selling"
which is prohibited under the Consumer Protection Act.
Any contract signed under these conditions is not binding
on you. The seller can lose his licence and be fined up to
$2,000 if convicted.
Buying on Credit
Three months ago I answered a newspaper ad and signed a
contract to rent and eventually purchase a color television.
Being a widow on a small pension, I didn't want to spend a
lot of money, but the salesman talked me into a 26-inch
model for a $30 monthly payment. Although all details
weren't worked out, I signed a contract in which the
monthly payments were stipulated. I have now received
another copy of the contract which makes it clear that this
$30 doesn't just pay for the set, but also pays for a three-year
service contract and high monthly finance charges. I was
also unaware that I would have to pay for. three years. The
set will cost me at least twice what it would in a store. Can I
cancel the contract and get my money back?
You're in luck. The Consumer Protection Act states that
anyone selling merchandise costing more than $50 on
credit must provide the purchaser before credit is given,
with a clearly written statement showing the total finance
charges both in dollars and cents and the annual percen-
tage rate being charged. In this case, the total cost and
finance charges were not disclosed, so you can get your
money back. You were very foolish to sign what
amounted to a "blank" contract.

Schneider's Chili Con Carrie,

concur with the resolution from
Victoria County.
Speaking to the report, Camp-
bell said that while Huron County ,
did not seem to be having any
serious problems with wolves,
the committee had agreed to
support the Victoria County
resolution to add strength to the
voice of those counties who are
experiencing difficulties.
The recommendation of the
Development Committee was
questioned by Reeve Ed
Oddleifson of Bayfield.

Four-footed animals occupied
a good deal of the discussion at
Huron CoUnty Council Friday
when a resolution from Victoria
County concerning wolf bounty
'and an announcement from the
Ministry of NatiIra] Resources
about a deer season were
presented for study.
The Victoria County brief noted
that since the repeal of the wolf
and bear bounty act in 1972,
hunters have been killing fewer
wolves. It pointed out the damage
to livestock is on the increase and
that the wolf population is ever
increasing. Huron County's
development committee chaired
by Reeve Allan Campbell of
Oddleifson. He questioned the
wisdom of "condoning something
that is not a real'problem here".
Reeve Everett Mcllwain of
Goderich Township said that
while it might not be necessary to
re-institute the wolf bounty, it is
important that wolves are not on
the protected list. The loss of
lambs and calves is "money out
of the farmers' pockets", said
Mcllwain.
Deputy-reeve of Goderich
Township Gerry Ginn, felt the
province should give each county
the authority to make their own
decisions about whether to offer a
bounty.
The last year the wolf bounty
was paid in the county, 25 wolves
were shot according to records.
The matter was referred back
to committee for further study.
County Administrator John
Berry said he had been advised
there will be a deer season in
Huron this year. Deputy-reeve
Ginn asked that Huron's ob-
jections he made known to the
Ministry of Natural Resources.
"We haven't got that many
deer in Huron that we can shoot
them down," said Ginn.
Reeve Elgin Thompson of
Tuckersmith and a member of
the Ausable Conservation
Authority, said deer are being
brought into Hullett and Hay
Townships.
"Are hunters going to come in
and shoot them all off?" asked
Thompson.
Reeve Doug McNeil of
Colborne said council did not
have enough information on the
deer population in Huron and
suggested that further north
there may be more deer.
Representatives of the
Ministry of Natural Resources
will be invited to attend both the
development committee meeting
and the next regular session of
Huron County Council to give
councillors an opportunity to
question and oppose if it is
deemed necessary.
Tuckersmith township will
request the ministry of tran-
sportation and communications
to provide additional subsidy due
to the acquisition of five ad-
ditional miles of urban roads at
Vanastra.
In 1973 the township received a
road subsidy of $74,000 for its 101
miles of roadway. This year the
ministry of transportation and
communications has allocated
only $53,000. This 20 percent drop
in subsidy is made more serious
because of the extra five miles of
urban roads council must
maintain this year.
Thirteen ratepayers affected
by the Big Drain attended the
council session for the report on
the drain by Engineer Henry
Uderstadt of Orangeville. They
were: Cor Dorssers, Hugo
Menheere, Martin Guichelaar,
Lambert and George Lubbers,
Gary Finlayson, Orval Cooper,
Jack Patrick, Preston Dallas,
Gerrit Wynja, Jack Van
Miltemburg, Hibbert Township
clerk-treasurer Charles Friend
and Hibbert Township road
superintendent Ed Chappel.
Court of Revision was held on
the DeJong drain. There were no
appeals and tenders will be called
in the spring.
Brian Flannigan, chairman of
Seaforth Lions park committee',
presented a report on the park
located in the township and asked
for a grant toward maintaining it,
Requests for building permits
were approved for John Fraiser,
Egmondville, for a porch ad-
dition on house, and for Larry
McClinchey of RR 5 Clinton, for
addition to house.
Council authorized the tax sale
listing of properties with 1971
arrears.
Council did not endorse the
resolution from the Village of
Grand Bend petitioning a change
in the Municipal Act which would
allow a member of council to
attend a county council session if
the reeve of the township was
unable to be present. Reeve
Elgin Thompson said it would not
be possible for a person to sit on
county council if he had not been
sworn in.
Council approved grants as
follows for a total of $1,715:
Tuckermith Federation of
Agriculture, $600; Seaforth Lions
Club (park), $300; Seaforth
Community Hospital, $150;
