I trust all my readers had a Happy Easter, sure couldn't complain about the weather. For myself I motored to Sault Ste Marie to spend the weekend with my young dad who on his next birthday will be 100. Sure must have made them tough in his day, for he is still in good health and enjoying life— after all that's what its all about. Found the weather on the cool side and necessary to wear the longjohns—however when returning to Lucan on Monday (wearing the longjohns) the further south I got the hotter I got, by the time I reached home I was almost dehydrated. In any event I enjoyed my weekend and trust all of you did as well. Don't forget Comrades the District A Convention will be held at the St. Thomas Legion Saturday and Sunday, April 16' and 17, that's this weekend.Our own Comrade Bill Smith will be knitting; Genevieve and Niles Nicholson gave one class in potting plants with Carol Hardy and Pat Hodgins carrying on four classes in macrame; Eight women lawyers from Legal Aid, London, brought many in- teresting points to the attention of those in their group, with Beth Miller weloming them each week. Travelogues were given by Marjorie Park on Europe and Mexico, Iva Hodgins on Washington, New York, New Orleans, etc. and Gwen Whilsmith on the Holy Land on Maundy Thursday a wonderful introduction to the Easter Weekend. Tea and conversation was enjoyed each day during a 15 minute break with Shirley Mason and her committee serving. Bible study and discussion was taken each week by Gwen Whilsmith of Exeter using the theme "Encounters with Jesus". The encounters which came under discussion were those with Peter, Nicodemus, the Woman of Samaria, Pilate and building to a climax with Mary Magdalene, to whom went the tremendous honour of being first to see the Risen Lord. Gwen's talks with the members,from all denominations in the community, as well as the "buzz" groups were inspiring and thought provoking. Registrars were Sharon MacDonald, Bernice Lockyer and Shirley Ryan with Mabel Froats, Alice Hodgson and Iva Hodgins sharing hostess duties during the five weeks.

Carmel 237-3456 •••• MIME MIMI My complaint is with a specialty gift company, The TREASURE CHEST of Outre- mont, Quebec, On December 8th last year I ordered a cane seat and mailed a money order for $26,38. In early January I was informed that they were temporarily out of stock, but would "ship soon." On March 26th I wrote and told them to refund my money if the seat was still out of stock. Imagine my surprise when my letter was returned un- opened, and stamped, "FAILL1TE, RETURN TO SENDER." What is my next move? Unfortunately this com- pany has declared bankrupt- cy hence they are no longer in business, so it would appear that you have lost your money as the amount involved is too small to try and recover through the courts.

They've had it there since last October for repairs and I'm still awaiting its return. To add to my frustration, two letters I've written mak- ing enquiries have been com- pletely ignored. Hope you can help as my boss is not too un- derstanding when I'm late for work. The Illinois firm claim that your alarm was sent to you on January 14th and are baffled at its non- appearance. they are now checking with the Post Of- fices involved and if they can't locate it have promis- ed to send you on a brand new model. This week we received a cheque for $10.00 from a reader who was happy that IMPACT had been of some help in solving a recent problem that she had. This is the first time that we have received a "donation", although, in the past on several occasions we have been asked what we charge for our service. As we ex- plained to this kind reader when we returned her che- que, the only cost is a stamped addressed envelope for a personal reply. IMPACT is brought to you through the co-operation of the local newspaper that you read it in, plus the depen- dable local firms that adver- tise weekly in the column. By patronising those local businesses whenever possi- ble you are also supporting us, and we appreciate, as they do, your loyalty.
