Never attack "writing
Christmas cards" as if it
were a chore to be done the
sooner the better. More and
-more, many senders of cards
do so to make it a once a year
"keeping in touch". Thank
goodness for Christmas - it's
like a stoplight at the end of
the year which makes us
pause to renew friendships, if
only by mail, before we hurtle
ourselves full blast from one
year into the next.

Last week an , interested
person came into the News -
Record office to make the
suggestion that instead of
putting old newspapers out
for garbage collection . each
week, - over the winter
months, our citizens could
save the newspapers and in
the Spring the Town could
have a mammoth paper drive
with the proceeds from the
sale going to a worthwhile
community project. That's
quite a thought - especially
since newspaper for
'recycling, is worth in the
vicinity of $70 to $80 a ton.

Library news for kids
by Marian Doucette
The weather outside has
been frightful, but that hasn't
stopped the Clinton Public
Library staff from planning
their annual Christmas
program.
This year, all children aged
3 to 8 are in for a treat, as the
library is playing host to the
puppet play "Where is
Christmas?" produced by the
Marlette Puppet Theatre on
Saturday, December 17 at 2

Stuck in the middle
by Shelley McPhee
There was a fire early Monday morning, luckily I spent
the night in Goderich so I missed it, Editor Jim went
instead.
Fires are one of my less favorite events to cover, but
it's still part of my job. However, this past week I was in
no position to head out to a fire or accident on a moment's
notice since my car was "stuck in the middle" - of a huge—
snowdrift in a parking lot, that is.
Thankfully, the rains came on Monday and I was.able
to "finally locate my vehicle. (I had presumed that I would
not see it again until next spring).
I've now had my first taste of Huron County winter
(I've missed them for the past few years) and neither I
nor my poor aching bones is very impressed with the
entire scene.
Along with shovelling my own car out, my main ac-
tivity for the past week has been pushing out stuck
vehicles, shovelling through monsterous snowdrifts and
getting extremely wet and cold. (I think that I'll have to
find a new group of friends who have four-wheel drives so
I can forget this shovelling and pushing routine.)
I've also found as a result of this past storm that my
boots aren't high enough, my coat isn't warm enough, my
gloves don't stay dry enough and my hat isn't tight
enough to stay on my head when the wind gusts.
I suppose that I didn't realize how bad the winters are
here, I've grown accustomed to Toronto weather over the
past three years. '
Yet Editor Jim has been warning me of what to expect.
He's shown me how high the snowdrifts were last winter
and has told me what it's like to be at a fire in the middle
of the night with the temperature below zero, He has
warned that my car should be prepared to go at all times
and I should have a particular set of clothes waiting close
by. He advised that whatever I wear; it should be ex-
tremely warm and should include a pair of long johns.
I've also bean instructed on the particular way that a
camera must be used and handled in the winter. The
camera should never be left in the open for very long
since the cold and wet will damage it. The easiest and
quickest way to avoid this is by putting it under your coat
when it's not in use, but unfortunately I.don't have much
room under my coat for a rather large, odd shaped
camera.
Also the light, because of the bright snow, is much'
different in the winter and ,can be very deceiving to the
eye and the camera. Therefore a little extra time and
thought must be put into each picture in order that the
right light exposure is found.
I suppose that I don't have any choice but to adapt to
the- climate and the changes that winter makes in my
work and lifestyle, especially since Editor Jim isn't too
keen on the idea that I be sent to Hawaii for'the next five
months as a foreign correspondent for the News -Record.

What is the effect of an
assignment in bankruptcy?
A trustee in bankruptcy
(usually a chartered ac-
countant) is appointed. He
then takes possession of the
property of the bankrupt and
prepares an inventory. He
ma' then sell or dispose of the
property of the bankrupt and
use rhe proceeds to reimburse
the creditors.
Certain property of the
bankrupt is exempt from
seizure. This includes some
personal property such as
clothing and the like.
I think I may have a bad
credit rating. How can I find
out?
The Ontario Consumer
Reporting Act, pass'od in 1973'
provides that every consumer
may enquire of a reporting
agency whether or not a file is
maintained concerning his
credit standing, The con-
sumer's request must 'be in
writing, and the information
must be supplied without
charge,

We agreed to pay tor a TV
set in four instalments, we
couldn't make the last one.
Can this company demand the
set back?
The Consumer Protection
Act states that where a buyer
under an executory contract
has paid two-thirds or more of
the purchase price of the
goods'as fixed by the contract
and if the buyer then defaults
in payment there the seller
may not retake possession of
or resell the goods without a
court order.
When the seller demands to
be let in, you are entitled to
refuse him entry. It is your
property and his refusal to
leave amounts'to trespass.
Remember, however, that
you are still required to pay
the balafice owing.
