I have not the slightest idea where this company got my name and address, however since I was well aware that I hadn't ordered them I just disposed of them since I had no intention of paying postage to have them returned. I thought that this would be the end of the incident, but no, not so, because I started receiving bills for these cards which I promptly ig- nored! Now I am starting to get a little worried as I have just received a very terse letter informing me that if I don't pay immediately, they are going to turn this "Bill" over to their 'collection agency. What is my situation? Do I have to pay for these cards or not? The onus is certainly not on you to prove that you didn't order this merchandise and according to the present Consumer Protec- tion Act (section 46) a person has no responsibility towards goods sent to him without requesting them, and cannot be re- quired to pay for such unsolicited goods.

He has left me in one heck of a mess in every direction! First of all, I am expecting a baby, although it does not show yet. I have given up a good job, spent a fortune on my trousseau and wedding gown, and sent out wedding in- vitations. Now he's decided to call off the wedding. I'm so mad at him I could kill him. Instead can't I sue him or something for breaking his promise to marry me? The answer is, yes, you cant When your former fiancee asked you to marry him and you accepted, he was bound in law to keep his promise to you. Although suits for breach of promise to marry are not that com- mon anymore, it is still possible to sue your fiancee for any damages you may have incurred through his breach. In addition it would appear that you have probable grounds for a paternity suit against this man. Obviously however, you are going to need the services of a competent lawyer. If you cannot afford same we suggest that you make contact with the City of London, Legal Department, at 679.4940 without delay. They should be able to give you further legal aid and advice. ---- TRy Your ONLY Authorized UN O YAMAHA FINER Sates and Service STORES IN THIS AREA! 237-3456 MC AORUMNETL IN' . 412. .e411' ;- -, t*-''S jil '' It was one of those very cold mornings that we've been having so many of lately, when I did something that I don't normally do, . , • I stopped my car to offer a ride to a young man who was hitch-hiking on the 83 highway just east of Dashwood, This proved to be a most upsetting experience for me as this particular young man turned out to be very rude and discourteous and after entering my car absolutely REFUSED to fasten his seat belt which 1 requested he do. I am a mid- dle aged widow and was too scared to stop my tar and order him out so proceeded with the drive to Exeter, where he got out, What would have happened if a policeman had stopped my tar? Would I have been charged had I explained to urn the circumstances? No, definitely not! Your unwelcome passenger would have been the one to have been charged, provided of course, that he was 76 years old, or over. The new law governing the use of seat bells, states, that all car occupants over the age of 16 years are responsible to "buckle up," as long as the automobile is equipped with seal belts. oat * 444e0ted4 ea 644T PilecaaTe CARL S.
