The initial reaction to the centre has been good and there is a chance that the government will provide the funding necessary to set the centre up and get it going. Presently the proposal is still at the talking stage in the ministry. This is the first time that any group has gone to the Ontario health minister with this type of proposal, so the ministry is treating it like an experiment, Readers write... • from page 3 made if merchandise is unsuitable and that this agreement is clearly stated on the bill. If a company represents that it has a refund policy and money is not returned, this is in contravention of The Business Practices Act. But if no promise is made, don't expect a refund. + Allow extra time for delivery Post offices are full to overflowing during the holiday season and a rush of orders to a mail order firm will probably take much longer to process as well as to deliver. Stores offering delivery services are often backlogged because of the volume of sales. Don't be disappointed when Christmas Eve approaches and those special presents still haven't arrived. Allow extra time for delivery for all purchases, whether by mail or by van. If you are buying furniture as a Christmas gift, insist that the promised delivery date is clearly stated on the bill of sale, even if you are given a verbal promise of pre -Christmas delivery. Pay for the item on a cash -on - delivery basis or, better still, arrange to have the goods picked up yourself. + Unsolicited goods aren't your responsibility Many companies or organizations send unsolicited goods, such as Christmas cards, through the mails at this time of year. They ask you to send money to pay for the items. which, if successful, could be applied in other areas. The centre, if ap- proved, will combine a variety of health services and will emphasize preventive medicine. The ministry will have to come up with a funding formula not based simply on the number of beds a hospital requires. If you didn't order them, you are not obligated to pay for them. You may keep them, destroy them or send them back at the sender's expense. -}- Be wary of fund-raising schemes At this time of the year the unethical operators who see a quick buck to be made compete with holiest fund-raisers for the .dollars of a generous public. Most pleas for money are authentic, but to be sure that your money goes to the needy, keep the following points in mind: be wary of telephone solicitations ; make sure you un- derstand the nature of the donation request; ask how they got your name; ask for the name of the person calling and the full name and address of his or her employer, including the telephone number; if in doubt, request that the solicitation be made in writing; check a company's reputation with the Better Business Bureau or the Chamber of Commerce. • For further information about refunds and exchanges, mail order buying, fund-raising schemes or consumer complaints, write: Con- sumer Information Centre, Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations, 555 Yonge Street, Toronto, Ontario, M7A 2116. And just a reminder: be sure that gifts purchased for children are non- toxic; check the Christmas tree for flammable decorations; turn out the Christmas lights when the tree is unattended. unemtv5 N PROGRAM SCHEDULE November 30 to December 6 EXCLUSIVE TO SIGNAL -STAR PUBLISHING THURSDAY, NOV. 30 AFTERNOON 4:00 .MOVIE FIVE: "HOUSE QF USHER" - Vincent Price, Mark Damon, IVl rrAa Fahey bro)jelr,end sister �e the lastrof a ?amily line :cursed. witif".madness for many generations...' 5:30 NEWLYWED GAME EVENING 6:00 NEWS 6:30 NBC NEWS 7:00 SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN "THE GOLDEN PHARAOH" - Farrah Fawcett -Majors, Gordon Connell - Steve enlists the aid of a larcenous beauty Farrah to help him retrieve a priceless statue stolen from a small country before an international in- cident occurs. 8:00 PROJECT UFO 9:00 QUINCY 10:00 HALLMARK HALL OF FAME - "Fame" 11:00 NEWS 11:30 TONIGHT SHOW 1:00 ALL NIGHT MOVIE: "HOME BEFORE DARK" - Jean Simmons, Efrem Zimbalist- A young women's struggle to regain her place in a normal •society after hospitalization for a break- down, and of her final vic- tory. 3:30 ALL NIGHT MOVIE: "THE GRASS IS GREENER" - Cary Grant, Jean Simmons, Deborah Kerr - A millionaire invades the private part of an Earl's mansion and falls in love with the lady of the house.

(News -Record photo) Christmas gifts for gardeners Choosing a Christmas gift for a home gardener has never been easier, says Russ Gomme, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticulturist. "With the current in- terest in tropical plants and outdoor gardens, many products are available that make ideal gifts for friends and relatives." The best places to purchase gardening gifts says Mr. Gomme, are flower shops, garden centres, department stores, supermarkets and hardware stores. An obvious gift for an indoor gardener is a tropical plant. Everyone likes to receive a new plant, and with proper care, it is a long-lasting gift. Delivering the plant is no problem, he says. "Buy the tropical plant and deliver it yourself at Christmas or have it delivered by a florist on a specified day." There are many other gift possibilities for the indoor gardener - hanging baskets, spray misters, plant fertilizers, indoor planters and herb gardening kits. Terrariums are a good gift because they are available in many sizes and require little maintenance. Gardening under lights is popular he says and kits are available. Another gift for the indoor gardener is a miniature set of gar- dening tools. There are also many gift possibilities for the outdoor gardener. "Cordless weed -eaters ,nr Safe driving a must In the first eight months of this year 592 persons died and 50,308 were injured in motor vehicle accidents in Ontario, says Minister of Transportation and Communications James Snow. "This is 30 fewer deaths and 602 fewer injuries ' than in the same period last year," Snow said, "but I feel we can do much better." "If Ontario drivers and pedestrians would ob- serve the slogan of this year's Safe Driving Week, December 1-7, "Courtesy is Caring", we might see a further drop in vehicle -related deaths and injuries." Snow thinks it is apt that this special safe driving week comes at a time of the year when unexpected snow, ice and fast -changing road conditions can make for treacherous driving conditions. "That, coupled with the coming festive season and the temptation to drink and drive makes it necessary to be doubly alert as well as cour- teous," Snow said. "Pedestrians, too, can do their part, crossing only with the light at stoplight intersections, and using crosswalks properly instead of jay- walking. . "Courtesy and caring certainly go together," said Snow, "and this sense of involvement with other people should be in the minds of every, driver and pedestrian, not just during Safe Driving Week but every, week of the year." La Leche group meets La Leche League of Huron County met in November at the home of Mrs. R. Lomas, RR 5, Goderich. The topic of discussion was the "Art of Breastfeeding and Overcoming Dif- ficulties". Luncheon was served. The next meeting will be held on December 13 at 2 p.m. The topic of discussion will be "Baby Arrives: the Family and the Breastfeeding Baby". Mrs. P. Bisback will lead this meeting. For further in- formation, please call 262-2192. Any woman interested in learning more about the womanly art of breastfeeding is invited to attend. Nursing babies are always welcome to LLL meetings. Ontario grant will assist erosion control The Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority will receive a provincial grant of $24,250 toward completion of an erosion control project in the Port Frank Conservation Area. Comprising of 7.1 acres' adjacent to the Village of Port prank, the con- servation area is surrounded on three 'sides by the former and existing channels of the Ausable River. Zit announcing approval of .the,. project, Natural Resources Minister James A. C. Auld said that the Authority plans to complete an erosion control project started in 1977 when a 220 -foot section of steel sheet pile wall was erected to protect the land from erosion. It is now proposed to extend this wall by 410 feet to provide long-term protection and sub- sequently to construct sixteen 24 -foot docks along this section of the river. Total estimated Cost is $46,000, oft • are relatively new garden aids and chances are good that your friend or relative won't already own one." A new hoe, spade or rake 'is also a very practical gift. Books on gardening'are another gift suggestion.
