Your credit -rating is priceless.
This K what Ontario 1.$ doing
to help you protectit.
Ontario has passed a new Consumer
Reporting Act, one of the most/ im-
portant pieces of consumer legis-
lation in the province's history.
It deals with ' the reporting, ex-
change and gathering of both credit
and personal information related to
your life-style and character.
It goes into effect July 2,1974.
• After that date you'll have the right
to know what is being reported about
you and to whom. And if the infor-
mation is inaccurate or incomplete,
you'll have the opportunity to cor-
rect it.
This is particularly important be-
cause, today, masses of information
about your buying, credit and per-
sonal habits are being collected,
stored, .and distributed by people
you have never met.
This information can influence
where --or if—you will work, how
much you can borrow, insurance
you can obtain and whether you .are
acceptable as a tenant. So your gov-
ernment here in Ontario has passed
the Consumer Reporting Act to'en-
sure that you have access to your
own file.
The Act is designed to protect you,
theconsumer, as far as the law can
do so. It guards your basic rights. It
gives you a place. to write for help if
you run into problems:

Act works to your advantage, send

SEPARATE WAYS
BY BRIAN R. KEITH
WESTON
Recently I had the opportunity
to reunite briefly.with some of
my old high-school. buddies; Of-.
ten I.wondered how all of my
friends were making out and I
was looking forward.to the reunion •
very much.
As I expected , it really was
great seeing the once -familiar
faces again. We each posed the
usual inquiries How are you
doing? What are you.up to these
days? Even more interesting were
the apparent changes in my pals; .
and fortunately, mosr of the chan-
ges were for the better, '
But I felt something was lacking •
from the reunion, once we had
. exhausted the superficial pleasan-
tries. It was hard to define what
• was missing, but then it came
to me - in the . time we had been
apart from each other, we had
each grown on our own, and in
separate directions. We had made
new friends, taken up different
life-styles, and gradually lost the
things that once bound us'closely.
And there was no going back!
I wanted to stop and shout ,
"Hey , everybody! I'm not the
person you remember me as; I'M
MYSELF NOW!" .I wished to share
my experiences of growth, to tell
how I had "gotten it together"
after I left high school. The
changes brought about through.
time and experience had made me
more the mature, responsible per-
son I set out to become. This was
the big change' that I valued , and
wanted to express to my friends.
But at least we felt the assur-
ance that former c'las's -mates were
faring well as they likewise grew ,
and that they, too, delighted
while discovering themselves and
the world around them.
