At a meeting of the Huron-
Perth County Roman Catholic
Separate School Board in Dublin
Monday night criticism was
levelled by the school principals
at one of the board members for
his critical remarks at the
previous hoard meeting about
,professional development days
for teachers,
Howard Shantz of Stratford
read a letter he had received
from Leo Turner, principal of
Holy Name of Mary School at St.
Marys, reporting that the
Principal's Association, of which
he is corresponding secretary,
takes exception to a remark
made by him at the last board
meeting when he said he does not
find professional activity days for
leachers "too worthwhile".
Mr. Turner said in his letter,
"We feel that professional ac
1.ivity days are a definite asset to
Olt.,,,P;.1r,0 ern , and the children in
•our charge." He continued,
"Statements such as the one
above, when printed in the press
(Stratford Beacon Herald, April
28) are counter-productive and
cast very poor light upon our
system, We request, therefore,
that your statement be sub-
stantiated or formally retracted
at the next meeting of the
Board."
In a written response to the
board Mr. Shantz repeated his
statement, "I will re-emphasize
the fact that I still do not support
P. D. days." He gave as one of the
reasons a recent example that he
knew of one of the teachers from
Mr. Turner's school who had
gonetoLondon on the afternoon of
the last P. D. day on April 30. Mr.
Shantz said he had many similar
examples described to him and
he had received a great deal of
flack from ratepayers about P.
D. days.
Mr. Shantz said h e represented

We decided last year to have our driveway paved this Spring so
we would like to have it done but have heard about contractors who
don't do a good job or overcharge.
What steps can I take to ensure that this won't happen?
Ontario's Consumer Protection Bureau receives many complaints about
residential driveway paving. Fly-by-night contractors appear every spring,
offering to asphalt or resurface driveways at ridiculously low prices. Their
usual ploy is that they "just happened to be in the area and we have some
orders from your neighbours so we can give you a good deal if we do your
driveway now." Be suspicious of this type of operator.
There are no bargains in driveway paving. You only get what you pay
far. Paving is a major undertaking that involves expensive supplies and
equipment. A first-class paving job should last at least 10 years with routine
care.
Your best bet when considering either resurfacing or paving your
driveway for the first time is to get three estimates from reputable contrac-
tors.
Ask the contractor for the names of three people in your area with whom
he has done business. If possible, look at their driveways and ask if they are
satisfied.
Don't haggle or cut corners on the quoted price. A contractor may cut his
price, but he will also reduce the amount of material he supplies. Thus, a
lower price will affect the quality of the work.
Make sure that all quotes include everything you want and list the types
of materials to be used and the method of construction. Be especially careful
if you have a drainage problem. Once you hqve three estimates in writing,
telephone the Consumer Protection Bureau to ensure that the contractor is
duly registered under the provisions of The Consumer Protection Act. The
Bureau will be able to indicate whether the company has been the subject of
consumer complaints.

IE,
your column each week and while I don't have a particular
problem, I do need a little advice. I plan on being married in
September and 'am wondering if this will affect my credit status in
any way. I have always maintained a good credit rating, but can't
say the same for my fiancee.
Yes. Your ability to obtain credit can be affected, particularly if your hus-
band has a poor credit history, but credit granters should not let one
spouse's poor status have any greater influence on the other's ability to ob-
tain credit than if the situation were reversed, nor should one spouse's poor
credit history be the sole consideration in determining the other's credit
worthiness.
When you and your husband make a major purchase such as a car or a
house from joint income, lenders will combine your credit histories and con-
sider you as a unit. In this situation, one spouse's poor credit history can
lessen the value of the other's good one.
You can still obtain credit in your own name and accept responsibility for
all debts you contract. If you rely on your husband's income, however,
lenders will often request that your husband co-sign any credit forms,
because even if you have your own income and an established credit
history, your husband's signature may be required for a major credit tran-
saction.

I mailed in $1 to P.O. Box 19000 in Toronto's Terminal A Post Of-
fice with a filled out coupon. This was to make me a member of The
Super Samples Club, which was supposed to mail me out, from time
to time, new product samples at no charge.
I have heard nothing since, and that was, last February! I'm not
worried about the amount involved but I'm wondering lust how
many dollars this scheme has netted its originators.
Can "IMPACT" find out anything about them?
Our reader will be glad to hear that The Super Samples Club is a quite
legitimate unit of Dyment Ltd.,a Toronto based firm hired to package and
mail samples for bona fide me dia sampling firms. However it seems that the
box number 19000 is no longer in use, and is now changed to, P.O. Box
1767, Station 12, Toronto,
We received quite a complicated explanation regarding this change over and much too lengthy to print in our allotted space, but we have been
assured that our readers' name has now been added to their current mail-
ing list, and she will be receiving various free samples from now on.
