verses, also illustrating his talk

Cotter's Saturday Night, To a
Mouse, and many more.

A bridge table and chairs I ordered from a catalogue
store finally arrived and they are completely different in
every way from what I expected.
The set is of a different colour and clashes with our
carpet, also the workmanship is very inferior.
I refused to accept this set,, but the manager insists
that I take delivery. He produced the order form that I
had signed, and I must admit there is a clause which
says "We reserve the right to ship goods not correspon-
ding with those described."
On the face of this I think that I've been legally
gyped, as I'm now stuck with stuff that I don't want,
and I think this is very unfair.
We have some good news for you, dear reader! Under On-
tario's Sale of Goods Act, implied in every contract of sale is
a condition which states that, goods SHALL CORRESPOND
with their description, when they are bought by description.
This simply means that, under the existing Consumer
Protection Act a merchant cannot ask you to waive this im-
plied condition. Therefore the term on your signed order is of .
no effect.
Return the goods and you'll get back your money, because
you are NOT obliged to pay for different merchandi5" than
what you ordered.

Just recently I received my final divorce, but, to put it
mildly, the whole affair was an extremely messy one.
However, my problem now is that friends tell me that
this will affect my credit rating. Is there any truth to this,
and if so, what can I do?
Any help or advice you can give me on this matter
will be, greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Rest easy, your well-meaning friends have touted you
rumours and nothing more!
There is a new Consumer Reporting Act in Ontario and un-
der it no consumer credit reporting agency is allowed to keep
this kind of persona/ information on file without either
reasonable corroboration or without noting on the report
that there is no corroboration,
You are quite entitled to see personal information on
yourself, up to a year old, but NO ONE ELSE can obtain this
sort of information from the credit reporting agency without
first of all giving you written notice.

I think the current ban on smoking in many placcg
is long overdue, and I'm all for it but I don't thi9k, It's
gone far enough. Why isn't a law passed which
prohibits the sale of cigarettes to children?
It makes my blood boil everytime I, witness such a
sale being made to youngsters and I Think that it's high
time that thoughtless and greedy storekeepers should
be punished.
Such a law does exist, and the stores you mention are
breaking this law, if, all is, as you say! Under Ontario's
Minor's Protection Act, it is an offence to furnish "cigarettes,
cigars or tobacco in any form" to children under 18 years of
age.
A person doing so is liable to a fine of between $2.00 and
$50.00 upon conviction,
However it is NOT considered an offence if the child
presents the storekeeper with a written note or order from his
(or her) parent or guardian requesting the purchase of
"tobacco in any form."
We get results!
