Clinton court news
Steven 'Gaven, 27, of RR2
Clinton received fines
totalling $1,000 or 100 days in
jail after he pleaded guilty to
charges of making false
statements regarding his
working status to . Unem-
ployment Commission,
Caved appeared in Clinton
Court last Wednesday' and
admitted that he made four
false claims over a seven
week period: At the time
Caven was working at
Bendix and alongwith his
regular wages he receiveda
total of .$748 from the
Unemployment Commission.
Judge Glenh Hayes
remarked. "Your offence is
agaL st all the working people
of the country. You had your
problems but you were
shifting the burden on every
other working person in
Canada. If Courts take too
leniently of your act and
others are encouraged to do
what you did, then the fund
will dry up."
Caven noted that although
he was wrong, he felt that the
/way the unemployment
system was set up it was very
easy to'take advantage of it.
"Life's got. .all kinds of
temptations," Judge Hayes
reminded him.
While Caven has"paid some
of the benefit money back,
$589 is still outstanding, Along

From up Dere
by Shelley McPhee
I considered the idea of painting my thumb green,
but thought I'd look slightly -abnormal. I even con-
sidered giving up completely, but instead of living by
the theory, "Quit while you're ahead," I seem to
prefer to torture myself and anything with green
leaves that comes my way.
I've always loved plants and have spent many hours
browsing . in florist and plant shops, just, looking.,
However as soon as one of those plants 4 set in my
handS .its•d'ays are numbered.
It's n'ot that I don't care for my plants. In fact they
keep me in'a constant turmoil, trying to remedy their
illnesses and unhealthy attitudes.
I've bought books and read about them;I've tried to
bridge our communication gap; I've over -watered
them; I've under -watered them. - •
I've fertilized ,them; I've sprayed"them;; I'.ve put
them in the puri ; I've moved them to the shade, but
they "persistently continue to make me out as a
murderer.
Baby's Tear are. my favorite victim and I've non -
intentionally killed rnany lovely pots of them. My
Spider Plant has just turned against me after a year's
friendship and my neurotic Asparagus Fern is con-
stantly threatening me that it wilydie, but never does.
My one main accomplishment is my Philodendren.
Phyllis has been with me for a number of years and is
a cutting from an old family plant. She has always
been faithful to me, has taken a lot of abuse but has
never threatened to leave.
Another, my only c,her, achievement with plants
has been with my ornery Gardenia. After months of
deciding she finally grew a flower. Perhaps this is not
the most amazing conquest, but for me, to make
something grow is a rniracle.
In the meantime my Impatience has lost its
patience my Gloxinia has forgotten what it's sup-
posed to look like and even my Cactus has died. "
That's a sure sign of failure, when your cactus dies.
Maybe I'll take up macrame instead,

My uncle died recently and
he has three large trunks filled
with old books 1 think that
some of them might just be old
enough to be valuable, but how
can 1 find out for. sure?
An auction company ,, will
probably just sell them in
bundles. Any idea as to where
I could have them appraised,
and how much should I expect
to par, your books ap-
praised, your best bet is .to
contact a member of the
Antiquarium Booksellers
Association of Canada. This is
a professional association
with high standards.' for,
membership.
A usual appraisal costs 2
percent of the total value or a,
fixed nominal fee plus
travelling expenses, (if any).

-1 moved into a new, apart-
ment building ,and was asked
to sign a lease but there is a
clause which says, "Quiet
Enjoyment." I don't un-
derstand what this means, can
you explain., please?
In spite of itsname.-such a
clause in a lease refers neither
to noise, nor to enjoyment.
A covenant for quiet en-
joyment means that you will
have peaceful possession of
the premises, without fear of
being thrown out of
possession, either by the
landlord or any of his agents.
A covenant for quiet en,
joyment can only be enforced
against the person who made
it. If, for example, the lan-
dlord defaulted on his mor-
tgage and lost the building,
you could: be evicted by
whoever held the mortgage.
You would however, be able to
sue the landlord in damages,
for his breach of the covenant
for "quiet enjoyment."

My daughter and son-in-law
gave me an exercise cycle last
Christmas and a friend says
that she read in the paper
where a lot of the new models
that have been sold are faulty.
Can you tell me if this is
correct, and if so, what models
are affected?
To the best of our knowledge
only two models are involved,
both of them sold by Sears.
The trouble lies in a metal post
under the seat which could
push through causing possible
injury.
The numbers on the I.D.
labels on these machines are,
16628260, 16629680 & 59228260.
Replacement parts will be
made by Sears without
'charge.
The company cautioned
NOT to use the cycles until the
seats and posts have been
replaced.
