a ;news release on the 15 -
car tain which reports it

Judy Savoy, the lively
CFPL•weather girl, may
have missed her calling.
Her debut on the Huron
County Playhouse stage
for the opening of
Parlour, Bedroom and
Bath on Tuesday. evening,
proved that she is just as
comfortable performing
before a live audience as
she is before a television
camera.
Savoy is a natural on
stage and the audience
loved her. The saucy,
Vivacious role of Polly
Hathaway, a newspaper
gossip columnist, seemed
to suit her well. With a
little Mae West thrown
into her speech and a lot
• of great line`s, Savoy had
the audience rolling in the
aisles. In fact, if the rest
of the cast hadn't been so
darn •good, you could
almost' say she stole the
show.

I hired a contractor to add an aluminum
extension to my kitchen. He was supposed
to get a work permit and told me that he had
.obtained one but, after the work started, a
stop work order was' issued and the con-
tractor has disappeared.
The fault was yours because you con-
tracted for an aluminum porch, not an
extended kitchen, , then apparently you
contacted another contractor who tore out
the back wall of your house, making the
porch an extension, not a'porch, all this -of...
course was NOT on the work permit.
Hoyvever it now seems that all is well, as
the right work permit has been issued so
that your contractors can .now go ,"full
speed ahead."

We immigrated here from the U.K. last
July. We ,shipped our goods via an overseas
service in England, but when our stuff
arrived we discovered that two of our boxes
were missing. They were traced to South
Afl ,ice and we assured that they would be
sent to us Air Freight. Well, that's a year
ago now and we're still waiting.
The English company has finally in-
formed us that you have at last received
your missing boxes. They are full of
'apologies and claim that the delay was due
to their South African Agent. They said that
they had offered you a cash settlement
some time ago, but that you had refused
because you claimed that your goods were
very personal and had a lot of sentimental
value.

Last Christmas I bought my son 'a toy
race track set. Welt it was no good because
the rails wouldn't join together. The store
where I bought it told me to send it to the
manufacturers, Aurora Products. This I
did, last January, but still nothing has been'
done! I've written and told them to refund
my money, but this demand too has been
ignored.
Can IMPACT help me, please?
It seems that our reader's set was
inadvertently set aside by an employeewho
was supposed to ' test the repaired track.
Well apparently he just, "up and quit",
without any notice.
Any* y it has, now been located, tested,
and is on its way to our long awaiting
reader, along with Aurora's apologies.
