I also sent them the postal addresses as I am to you ` now. It provokes me that they can send me two magazines and waste my time and money, - about every other month this double magazine happens. I wonder if they do not read English! Since you have got results for other people maybe 'you can straighten this up for me. .How many more persons suffer from this lack of un- derstanding by big firms? The Chatelaine people say that the computer has ' your name twice, hence your two magazines. However they claim that you are only payinn for one publication. call BILL MELICK at your COLLISION REPAIR CENTRE SOUTH END BODY 524-91.8-1..- BAYFIELD RD. GODERICH I was told many years ago that I was adopted. I never asked my adoptive parents'. who my real parents were, but since they are now both dead 1 have the strongest urge to find out who my real parents are but I haven't a clue as to how to go about this, and 1 was wondering also if it's a very costly procedure or not? Normally adoption papers are sealed when the court order is made for adoption and• can only be opened forin- spection by the order of a judge, or by the consent of the Provincial Director of Child welfare. Write to the latter first and if you cannot procure his consent then you can go through the more expensive procedure of an application to court.

Since this was made without our knowledge or approval. are we as parents, liable for his payments? The age of majority and accountability in Ontario is 18, and anyone under that age is considered a minor or infant. A contract cannot be en- forced against a minor unless for necessities such as food, shelter or clothing, so if he receives goods which are not necessary, such as a bicycle, he may repudiate the con- tract. The goods can be returned and any money already paid, refunded. In plain language, "you are not on the hook."
