The an- swer by giving up something that perhaps the persons involved do not like. Another question was "How can I get more satisfaction out of life?" Again—"By giving up something". We want God in our lives so we must give up what Christ tells us is wrong. We must make the best choice to live the life Jesus Christ calls us to live, only saying "yes" to the best things in life.

The latest name to come to our attention is, FISHER PROMOTIONS of Kitchener, and, according to one of our readers, this firm was advertising "New Electronic Antennas" for $19.95 (plus tax). He enclosed a photostat copy of the ad which he had replied to, sending them a cheque for the full amount. The advertisement stated that 3 to 4 weeks had to be allowed for delivery and also the assurance that, "If not completely satisfied, return within 30 days and your money will be refunded." Here then is the sad story to date: Last August 5th. this reader sent them a cheque for the full amount. Nothing happened until November 5th. when it was duly cashed. After patiently awaiting arrival of his "new elec- tronic antenna" he decided on November 28th. that enough was enough so he wrote them requesting a refund . . . up till now the same silence! We regret to say that up till now we too hove been unable to make contact with this "firm." They have no phone listed and their only known address is a Kitchener P.O. Box Number. We have now written the Kitchener Chamber of Commerce about this complaint and will let our readers know what develops. qt q. vie r lh ' [1 ,,, " Gordis. rophies ngraving OFF 50(To TROPHIES Engraving Done On Premises 382 MAIN ST.:FORMERLY nacho /limit Authorized dealer For all your RADIO STEREO and C.B. needs see us!
