Judge Francis G. Carter was guest
speaker for the evening. Judge Carter came
to Goderich 14 years ago after practising
law in London for 23 years. He spoke to the
audience about the streets of Goderich, their
history and how they were named. Judge
Carter explained that at the time the streets
were named the Napoleonic Wars were
fresh in peoples minds hence the association
with battles and military leaders such as
Nelson and Trafalgar. The early settlers
remembered their homeland and from this
we get Brittania, Cambria and Caledonia.
Judge Carter suggested that in future it
would be a good idea to remember famous
Canadians when naming our streets and in
Consumer and Corporate Affairs Canada
recently advised consumers that warrantiy
protection available on identical products
can vary from seller to seller and that con-
sumers should always enquire about the
specific warranty protection ,being offered
to them. Examples of products where war-
ranty protection can vary include household
appliances, home entertainment equipment
and smaller articles such as batteries.
Some sellers have a contractual arrange-
ment whereby the manufacturer agrees to
honour the warranty at designated repair
outlets in Canada. These sellers are part of a
formal network set up or "ai1ithorized" by
the manufacturer. Other sellers who
operate independently of this network may
offer a different warranty on the identical
products.
The°department noted that the practice of
selling products outside the network
authorized by the manufacturer — known as
gray marketing — has become more
widespread in recent years. Gray goods are
now offered for sale in retail stores through
magazine advertisements and by telephone
through discount clubs.
Gray market products offer an attractive
alternative to paying full price for well-
known brand-name goods. However, con-
sumers should also consider the importance
of the warranty in making a purchase deci-
sion. In some situations, the manufacturer's
service depot might simply refuse to make
repairs or charge the consumer the total
cost of the repairs involved for some gray
goods.
in order for consumers to make an in-
formed purchase decision, they should
ascertain whether the seller has been
authorized by the manufacturer to sell the
particular product or offers a similar war-
ranty. In situations where gray goods are of-
fered for sale and where consumers are un-
sure of the warranty protection that is
available to them, they should telephone or
write to the service outlet listed in the
manufacturer's warranty.
Through these steps, the department
noted, consurners can assess for themselves
the importance of both price and warranty
coverage.

WELCOME TO THE FRIENDLY CHURCH
At Christmas Christians around the world
remember what they believe to be the
greatest event in history - the day that C•od
Himself came to earth in the form of a human
baby. The significance of this God -Man, Jesus
Christ, is known to those who accept Him as
the Saviour of Mankind. The mystery of it all
often remains too much for some to believe,
yet even many of those will admit Has birth,
life and death impacted more positively on
the world than the existence of any other
human being.
AT CHRISTMAS WE CELEBRATE CHRIST
