For •
` ears
Y• my elderly mother has Suffered from arthritis, 'and
now she tells me that she heard on the radio one day, that there
J ,-r7 riewcopper,bracelet_ on the market, which, (according to
• her) is,supposed to be "guaranteed" to cure arthritis sufferers,
anld-,that all they have to do is to wear it all the time.
.,•--t_asked our jeweller it he had ever heard anything about them, •
and he acknowledged that he had, but only vaguely. It was -he --
that suggested that I write your column for information.
Is this, just some new "racket" or is there really any truth to
what my mother says.? and also, where can they be bought? and,
• how much are they? ;
••• • There is an increasing number' of pev-p1e wearing copper
bracelets, -(both men and wornen)•whti claim that they do indeed
help sufferers of muscular aches and pains. To the best 'of our
knowledge, this has never- been proven by the 'medical
profession, howeverr it can't. be discounted either when, people
from all walks of life claim to have•gained relief.

—More and"rnore`accidentsl - - -. _._ — .. -• -0.,e
As a regular reader. of "IMPACT",' I'm hoping that you can.
'settle an argument between my boy -friend and me. We are both
avid skiers and have seen our.share of accidents on the crowded
slopes. and I contend that if •1 should ever -collide. with 'another
skier t couldbe sued for damages, providing ofcourse that it •
was rhy fault. • •
My boy friend says, "No way!" Who is right? , •
' A skier owes a duty of care to a fellow skier not to act in a
reckless disregard of the other's' safety. Generally speaking, :'
participants•on a ski slope are like golfers. The fact that such
persons expose themselves to possible collision of being 'struck
by a golf ball raises a well known defence against a lawsuit
called, voluntary' assumption of risk.
However,' it 'dust be 'remembered that 'while- skiers, may •
assume the risk 'of an accident,' no -skier. assumes 'he risk of
Collision 'created by a negligent skier who demonstrates a
reckless disregard toward the' safety of others.
. Thus, yes, a skier could be sued if he was found to breach,the
• duty of care he oweso other skiers.

I signed a contract on' my home to have aluminum siding, in- ' •

upkeep has been one of my main worries. In my haste I wrote
this company a cheque for $500 -as -a deposit but the nekt day I-- -•
• decided to cancel the contract,
The same afternoon the siding was dumped.on nlydriveway. I
immediately wrote t dealer. a registered letter cancelling thea-
contract,.bu et.been refunded my $soo. '
Is there any,wa get my deposit back? - • . ' ,
Yes) the Consumer. Protection Act' allo.rs 'for a cooling -off
.pe?.•iod_ in which 'you can'' cancel a ..contract over $50. by
registered mail or by letter_:personally delivered, within • two
-days after the contract has been signed, '(The post -mark is
considered the delivery date.) A telephone call is no good.
• This cooling -off period applies only when the conrract has
been "negotiated and signed at a plane, other .than- the seller's
regular place of business, (E.G. your•,ownhome.) r
•• -In your case the dealer must return the $500. Never give a
seller more than 5 percent down. A. reputable .firm should •
require no more than this amount. If they insist on a iarge down- _ -
payment steer clear of them. ••
