GODERICH Last Fall many small towns were "invaded" by a group of magazine subscription salesladies (all young and attractive) who approached young male teenagers on the street successfully getting various amounts of money in advance for magazine sub- scriptions. The name of this fast moving company was PAR PUBLISHERS SERVICE. We were unable to get any refunds because the amount involved was always under $50.00. Some recent letters from readers in the Exeter area inform us that this type of selling has started again, but the firm name this time is EAST WEST READERS SERVICE. We have made enquiries about this firm but until we hear further we urge you to use CAUTION if approached by one of their represen- tatives.

SATURDAY TILL 5:30 A disgruntled reader writes, that when she tried to book an Air Canada flight under their new low cost Canadian City Charter Plan she was told that no seats were available as they were all sold out. Under this charter class plan she said her return fare to Van- couver would only have been $222 (from Toronto) instead of the regular 5382. An Air Canada spokesman claims that their advertising for this plan, clearly stated that only a limited number of seats were available on any given flight, and that ob- viously the largest planes flying at "off" hours were the ones that would have the most seats. "Basically," he said, "It was designed to fill empty seats on all flights, and this it has done, very quickly."
