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.

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. • q VIr ..,g e^E‘i i Radio ilhaek AND TROPHIES DEALER OFF TROPHIES!

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.

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.
