SATURDAY TILL 5:30 It has come to our attention that The American Puzzle Association from Los Angeles is currently mailing out pamphlets to some Ontario public school children promoting an "American Birthday Contest." However, in order for the child to enter, he or she must pay an en- trance fee of 51.00 to 58,00 depending on how much they hope to win. Under California law this type of contest is valid provided the firm states the number of anticipated en- trants, the probable per- centage of contestants ex- pected to solve the puzzle correctly, and the maximum money it may cost the par- ticipant in order to win. Our advice is simple! If you should hear from The American Puzzle Association, FORGET IT!
