Consumer awareness quiz Consumers should know rights and responsibilities Clipping coupons may help save money, but there is more to being a wise con- sumer than just knowing how to find the ultimate bargain. Consumers should under- stand their legal rights in the marketplace, says Roberta Allan of the Ontario Ministry of Consumer and Com- mercial Relations. "Buyer be aware," is a good motto for Ontario residents, Ms. Allan suggests. "Many people have problems with pur- chases because they simply don't know their own rights. Some people don't realize there are laws in place to protect them. They can also. run into trouble by forgetting their owh responsibility to protect themselves." .The following quiz was designed to help test your knowledge of consumer rights and responsibilities. Each statement should be answered with true or false. 1' Retail stores are obliged to give refunds or exchanges to all customers upon request. 2. Under certain conditions you have a right to cancel contracts signed in your own home: ��� 3. If you have paid for an item and later find the sales person lied about the product, it's' too late to get your money back. 4. Manufacturers are required by law to provide warranties for all products which sell for more than $5.00. 5. When joining organ- izations such as fitness clubs or dance studios it is a good idea to sign up for the longest time possible to take advantage of the price reductionsfor long-term members. 6. When a company goes bankrupt, the customers are normally the last to be paid back any money they are owed. 7. If a travel agency which is registered to operate in Ontario goes bankrupt, customers will probably get all their money back. Answers: 1. False Stores set their own rules on refunds and exchanges. Always check the company's policy before you buy and try to get it in writing. 2. True Ontario's Con- sumer Protection Act gives you two clear working days • from the date a contract is signed in your home to cancel the deal. This "cooling -off" period applies only to contracts for more than $50, involving payment An the future or delayed delivery of goods or services. ' If you pay the full amount on the spot and receive the item immediately the contract Thanksgiving is theme at Knox United Church the first and second and sixth and seventh concessions.

Referring to the table ar- rangement he asked, "What is our attitude to the symbols of harvest?" :. Life depends on the fruits] of success, he said. See the display in the perspective of Habakkuk and give joy to the Lord. Is our measure of Thanks- giving regarding the''llorrors related by the media. "We are thankful we are not in- volved". Is this our measure of thanks. We are unable to be amazed or astonished any- more by modern develop- ments.

False Under Ontario's Business Practices Act you have six months in which to request a refund if a false statement or promise was made about a product or service. The Act outlaws unfair or misleading business practices. If you feel you have been a victim of such tactics, contact a local Consumer Service Bureau. 4. False Manufacturers are not required to provide warranties on any products, regardless of price. However if they do offer warranties they must live up to the terms of the agreement. .5. False Join up for the shortest time possible to minimiie your losses if the company goes bankrupt. 6. True' Customers usually join the end of the creditors' line in bankruptcy•cases and rarely recover much money. 7. True So long as you deal with an agency registered in Ontario, the province's Travel Compensation Fund will refund up to $3,500 of an individual's losses (to a maximum of $1.5 million for a single bankruptcy). Ask to see the agency's certificate of registration before spending any.money. further capacity for aston- ishment so they can't give thanks properly. All take so much for granted. We claim to be God's chil- dren; that He speaks to us; that He shapes and moulds us. Is this an astonishing claim? Jesus took the form of man and was obedient to death on the cross. That's the beginning of praise. Only when man reaches for the, impossible can he attain the possible. Reach for a vision of hope. Only because of as- tonishment can we under- stand thankfulness and praise. True gratitude comes when we are most abandon- . ed, Mr. Roberts said. God's presence is then felt which leads to praise and obedience.
