EXETER A bridge table and chairs I ordered from a catalogue store finally arrived and they ore completely different in every way from what I expected. --. The set is of a different colour and clashes with our carpet, also the workmanship is very inferior. I refused to accept this set, but the manager insists that I take delivery. He produced the order form that 1 had signed, and I must admit there is a clause which says "We reserve the right to ship goods not correspon- ding with those described:' On the face of this I think that. I'-ve been legally gyped, as I'm now stuck with stuff that I don't want, and I think this is very unfair. We have some good news for you, dear reader! Under On- tario's Sale of Goods Act, implied in every contract of sale is a condition which states that, goods SHALL CORRESPOND with their description, when they are bought by description. 'This simply means that, under the existing Consumer Protection Act a merchant cannot ask you fo waive this im- plied condition. Therefore the term on your signed order is of no effect. Return the goods and you'll get back your money, because you are NOT obliged to pay for different merchandisg than what you ordered. SEE US FIRST FOR ALL YOUR SPORTING NEEDS 411 MAIN ST.

However, my problem now is that friends tell me that this will affect my credit rating. Is there any truth to this, and if so, what can I do? Any help or advice you can give me on this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Rest easy, your well-meaning friends have touted you rumours and nothing more!

HOOGENBOOM 509 MAIN STREET I think the current ban on smoking in many places is long overdue, and I'm all for it but I don't think ft's gone far enough. Why isn't a law passed which prohibits the sole of cigarettes to children? It makes my blood boil everytime I witness such a sale being made to youngsters and I think that it's high time that thoughtless and greedy storekeepers should be punished. Such o law does exist, and the stores -you mention are breaking this law, if, all is, os you soy! Under Ontario's Minor's Protection Act, it is an offence to furnish "cigarettes, cigors or tobacco in ony form" to children under 18 years of age. A person doing so is liable to a fine of between 52.00 and S50.00 upon conviction. However it is NOT considered an offence if the child presents the storekeeper with a written note or order from his (or her) parent or guardian requesting the purchase of "tobacco in ony form."
