THE ASSESSMENT ACT NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNERS AND TENANTS Due to the interruption of regular postal services, the Ministry of Revenue has extended the date for return of the assessment rolls from December 16, 1975 to January 21, 1976 in all municipalities and localities across the province. Therefore, in accordance with the provisions of The Assess- ment Act, assessment notices will be delivered to all assessed persons on January 6, 1976, 14 full days prior to the return of the rolls. This extension affects the time period during which owners and tenants may appeal their assessments. Therefore, the final date for commencing an appeal to the Assessment Review Court has also been extended from January 6, 1976 to February 11, 1976. Should the postal disruption continue into the month of January, the date for the return of assessment rolls may be further extended. A notice of any further extension will be published at a later date. NOTE: TOWNSHIP OF WICKSTEED — These alternate arrangements will not be in effect for the Township of Wicksteed in the District of Algoma. Assessment notices will be delivered to owners and tenants on the regular date,. December 1, 1975 and the assess- ment roll will be returned on December 16, 1975. The final date on which owners and tenants may commence an appeal to the Assessment Review Court in the Township of Wicksteed is January 6,„1976. Ministry of Arthur Meen Revenue Minister 6f Revenue FHH75?ll T.M. Russell Deputy Minister Ontario To Exeter and surrounding districts: Ding, dong, "We are here representing YACMR, (Youth Across Canada with the Mentally Retarded), We are here selling Christmas cards to support the mentally retarded. Would you like to support our cause?" Joe Doe, "No, I'm buying my cards when the mail strike is over," This is a typical response to our efforts on Saturday November 8, at the Save U Gas Bar. Another attempt was made on November 15, in Hensall, and the same response was given,- Will people really buy the cards when the mail strike is over, or is this just an excuse to get out of buying them? YACMR representatives, their parents, and relatives, purchased the cards knowing that the mailstrike probably won't be over, but feel they can use them in future years. On November 8, we arrived at the Save U Gas Bar at ap- proximately 10:30. We left at 2:30 very disappointed and let down by the poor response and attitude of Exeter and surrounding districts. The Blommaert family assisted us in every way possible and still the response didn't improve. People read our sign, and turned away as not to see us. Did this help to ease your guilt? Some mature people had the nerve to laugh at us. In between customers we managed to take these statistics: Out of 85 cars (approximately 3-4 per car). We sold 9 packages of cards. 3 packages were sold to people from Michigan, 1 package to an area truck driver, 1 package to an area resident, and 4 packages to outsiders. These statistics are not good. These are facts and figures taken by the YACMR representatives who went out on the streets of Hensall on November 15, selling cards: One out of every 8 houses supported this worthy Cause, Other representatives who went from door to door in their Own neighbourhood had the same response, As you can see by the above Second period last Thursday found everyone in the school being herded down to the gym- nasium for a mysterious Teams win By Mark Schwartz On November 27, the South Huron Senior basketball team, lost to Listowel, 81-22. The Juniors also lost 43-35. In Wrestling, on November 27, the South Huron wrestling team wrestled against , Listowel win- ning 66-18. On Saturday, November 29, Ron Bilkie and Ron Skinner were champions in the wrestling tournament. 16 teams competed and South Huron did very well. Yearbook assembly November 25 was the occasion for the Yearbook Assembly at South Huron. The theme of this year's Yearbook is to be the "Hit Parade" incorporating music into the theme. Despite inflation over the years, the price of the yearbook has remained low and still costs assembly. Few people had any idea of what the gathering was about. Squeezing through the gym doors along with everyone else you found yourself staring at the stage that with-held numerous types of hand equipment. When everyone was seated, the president of our student council ran out on stage. He asked us to give a warm welcome to the band, "Free Fare." There were five members in the band, all from various parts of the United States. They played good music and even sang some commercials. It just so happened that they were also the group that was playing at the school the following night. They diverted the students from school work for one hour and everybodyenjoyedthe break. It was a unique way of getting people to the concert the next night and the idea proved suc- cessful. However after one hour of fun entertainment it was back to the old grind! only $5. "Yearbooks are forever", so if you haven't purchased yours yet you should. It is well worth it. ( WELL, GREASER DAY HAS COME AND GONE. (AJLO Dillinger to come Friday By Paul Fydenchuk Do yourself a favour. Come hear Dillinger, Friday,December 5.

Dillinger consists of some of the best musicians in this country. Drummer Bob Harrison has a room-full of of broken cymbols to substantiate his claim,Reviews of their past engagements all rave "What music!", "the finest original material, jam packed with nothing but pure content", "some of the most substantial music heard here yet", "organist fairly dazzled those with their ears open!", nothing short of magnificent", vocal harmonies were tremendous", and so on. Dillinger has released a debut, album on Daffodil records, distributed by A&M records. The band is equally good for dancing. or for just sitting and enjoying. They guarantee to be an excellent act, and besides, it is your last chance for a good night of en- tertainment before the exams! So please, do yourself a big favour, and come and hear Dillinger this Friday night — you won't be disappointed. Oxfam is anorganization located all over the world and is known to all for their participation in collecting money to help twenty of the world's underdeveloped nations. This money is used for feeding those who are suffering from malnutrition and to finance agricultural projects that help the needy nations feed them- selves. Oxfam pays special attention to small land farmers who grow food for their families and their neighbours. Presently there are 500 million people in the under- developed countries lacking a proper diet. Last year Oxfam collected 1.6 million dollars and spent most of it helping these people to help themselves. On Thursday, November 20, SHDHS students participated in an Oxfam program along with almost 40 other schools in the area. Money that students would have spent on their lunches was collected in the home rooms. Thanks to the co-operation'of the student body and the hard work of the Student Council, a total of over $350 was collected. Thank- you SHDHS. YACMR calling on homes, . raise funds for retarded Man enjoys music since early days Ever since our early ancestors enjoyed the sound of objects being placed together with a"' particular rhythm and the sound of their voices blending in the air, man has enjoyed music. Music fills our lives everyday. We hear it through our record players, radios and tape recor- ders. This year music is even being incorporated into our Yearbook theme. In our school cafeteria is the juke box and now for all music lovers in South Huron is the Music Club. This club is made up of a mixture of teachers and students who particularly enjoy making music. The people who enjoy singing get together and sing their favorite songs. There is a workshop for the people who enjoy playing the guitar. All members of this club hope to learn and accomplish something with their talents, but most important of all, these people want to have fun making music. If you enjoy singing or playing the guitar or piano come out to the next Music Club meeting. It's a sure bet you'll enjoy yourself. facts and figures, the support was poor. But we would like to ex- press our sincere thanks to Mr. Blommaert and his family and all the people who supported our ' worthy cause. „.

Seniors should lead way One of the worlds most widely celebrated events is creeping up on us. But before Christmas arrives the students of South Huron must get down to the serious business of studying for their exams. There is usually a Christmas assembly before exams begin and it is important to get every person, that is students and teachers, into the holiday spirit. Every year the grade thirteens participate in the Christmas assembly. It has become a sort of tradition for them to organize and put on a skit. This year when the thirteens were asked to par- ticipate in the assembly there seemed to be quite a bit of grumbl- ing even though quite a few students signed up to be in the skit. This is the grade thirteens last year at South Huron and they should be able to participate in a skit for the enjoyment of the stu- dent body without complaining. In fact they should be able to par- ticipate and attempt to lead all school activities without complain- ing, An idea is needed for the Christmas assembly skit. Anyone that comes up with one is asked to contact Lois Doerr.

FUNERAL HOME 370 WILLIAM ST. 235-1220 EXETER While in Toronto on business, recently, I parked my car at a downtown parking lot, When I returned to pick it up I was horrified to see that one of my front headlights had been all smashed in. I assumed that it was the parking lot's responsibility to look after my car while in their care; their rates to park are certainly high enough! Anyway, when I spoke to the lot manager, he claimed NO RESPONSIBILITY and promptly pointed to a sign on the front of the booth. The sign read, "We are not responsi- ble for any loss or damage whatsoever, however caused, whether by fire, theft or negligence." He also drew my attention to my ticket on which was printed the same notice. He then told me that this was part of the contract, and that he has absolutely no liability. I reminded him that I didn't sign a thing, so it couldn't be a Contract. Who is right? It would appear from what you have told us that the lot manager or owner is in the clear, because you don't have to sign anything to form a contract. If reasonable efforts have been made by the lot owner, by posting a sign or signs to inform you of the terms on which you can park your car, you are bound by the terms he posts, whether or not you read it or sign anything.

I think I have been taken by a London car dealer, because after a lot of dickering I got what I considered to be a reasonable price on a late model used car on which I signed an offer to purchase, not a contract to buy, on the understanding that I could take the car home for the weekend. This I did, but decided not to keep it, so drove it back to the lot Monday morning, only to be told that the car was now mine, and that the contract I signed was binding and that they are holding me to it, and won't give me back my own car. What can I do? "IMPACT" reminds its readers that, an offer to purchase, if accepted, is indeed, a legally binding contract. The dealer in question has been in the car business a long time and he tells us, that this trick is as "old as the hills," a weekend's free driving at the expense of the car dealer, and furthermore they claim that you have already done this same thing successful- ly with another car dealer, by stopping payment on a cheque you had issued. This time, it seems, you are not getting "off the hook," and as this dealer is very definite, it looks to us that you have bitten off more than you can chew, because car dealers have rights too, you know. Exeter Flowers & Gifts ORIGINAL OIL PAINTINGS BUY OR LEASE Ben J. L. HOOGENBOOM . 235-0111 509 MAIN STREET 1;:441\ 1.7F1A, Approximately 10 years ago I left Ontario. I was in quite a bit of trouble financially at that time,and I have to admit that had a lot to do with me leaving the province. Well, I've made a brand new start now and my inten- tions are to return here, but I'm still a bit apprehensive about these old debts. I have heard from various sources that they are not collectible after a certain number of years, and I was wondering if you could tell me how many years? Ontario has a statute of limitations with respect to civil matters. It is called the Limitations Act. It sets out times beyond which certain civil obligations cannot be enforced, These include: 6 years for any arrears of rent or damages for arrears of rent; 20 years, action to enforce any judgment which a court has granted against you; 20 years for a suit or a bond, or othe contract under seal; 6 years for a suit for trespass or any simple contract (such as a contract for the purchase of a car); I year to sue for damages or death caused by a motor vehicle; 6 years to sue on a cheque or yomissory note. But you should also be aware that old debts may be revived if you should sign written acknowledgement of indebtedness.
