vice of Balls cemetery was held

chener, Toronto, Wroxeter and
surrounding community,
Mrs. Bria,n Hallam presided
a,t the organ in the. quaint little
church on top of the hill; the
feather was ideal, the stately
trees, green grass and the col-
orful floral tributes of rememb
rance made a fitting setting for
this, annual service.
Knox United church, Auburn, ■
was in charge of the service.
. Rev. M. R, Roberts chose his
message from Genesis 23:4
am a stranger and a sojour
ner with you, give me possess
ion of a burying place with you.
that I may bury my dead out
of my sight?’ Rev. Mr. Roberts
stated that this is the message
that a memorial service has for
us-to impress upon us the fact
of our mortality afresh, here
we will be laid sooner or lat
er, more probably sooner than
we all have expected, here we
have no abiding city. In con
clusion he said,'‘Str angers and
Pilgrims upon the earth,we seek
the city, which hath foundations,
whose builder and maker, is
God, let this hour be spent at
this place of rest to enliven in
Our hearts the vision and the
hope of that city.”

County Library Delegates
Huron County Council dele
gates to the annual convention
of Ontario Library Association
in Fort William in May, were
less than enthusiastic in their
report to County Cduncil at the
June Session in Goderich.
The delegates were Reeve W.
Duff Thompson, Clinton, chari-
man, Huron County Library
Board and Reeve Frank McFad
den, Bayfield, a member of the
Board.
“It would seem to be that
the Ontario Library Association
heads are professional libra
rians,” Mr. McFadden told
councillors.
He suggested that the execu-
tiye?! of the -AO LA -should .pre-
pare for “this 'convention in ad
vance so that the delegates'
would get the most out of it.
“We pay the shot,” he said.
It was just “a Teachers’ Fed
eration under another name,”
he averred. So strongly did
the delegates feel about it, that
they requested and deceived ap
proval to forward the report in
full to Premier John Robarts,
Education Minister William G.
Davis, Provincial Treasurer
Charles S. MacNaughton, the
Ontario Library Association,
and theRegional Library Board,
Kitchendr.
Mr. Thompson reported:
DELEGATES
“Your delegates did not feel
that too much was accomplished
and there had not been suf
ficient preparatory work done
on the part of the committee*
“Obviously, if the Ontario
Library Association is to play
a part in the creation of a ■
provincial library system, then
total organization of all libr.
aries should be considered and
correlated into one moving en
tity. It would appear that since
public funds are involved in the
creation of a provincial library
system, the Ontario Department
of Education should look closely
into some of the dominant fac
tors that will play a part in
the development of such a sy
stem to ensure that the rate
payer is adequately protected
and served.
“■The Ontario Library Assci-
elation should have two div-
isions working closely together:
namely, a Librarian section,
and a Trustee section.”
Mr. Thompson pointed out in
the report that the Ontario Lib-
jary Association received a
provincial grant in 1967 of
$41,000, and was asking for
$67,000 in 1968. The report
questioned'what OLA is doing
to further provincial library
service to justify this size of
grant. “The Ontario Library
Association which could be
most influential and helpful in
bringing- about a strong prov
incial library service,” the re
port stated, “seems to be lack-
... ing. in objective and organiz
ation on how to reach such an
objective.” In his report on
local activities of Hur on County
Library Board, chairman
Thompson stated that every
branch ■ library in the County
had been visited. A policy had
been established of fines and
fees for non-residents. An at
tempt is being made to amal
gamate all insurance policies
• into one overall county prem
ium.
He said that there is a great
variation, at the present time,
in remuneration paid in the var
ious libraries, and the board
would strive to equalize this
situation. There are still pro
blems regarding purchase of
books, equipment, etc., but it
is hoped the local committees
will “bear with the board” until
there has been an opportunity
to review.
Mr. Thompson reported that
the' Board had been engaged in
interviewing applicants for the
position of County Librarian .
A number of applications had
been received, the majority of
(hem from the United States.

New Laws
* /
for Consumer
■,uCredit r-
effective July 31st 1967
The new Ontario Consumer Pro
tection Act, which comes in to
force on July 31st, helps everyone
who buys on credit by obliging
the lender, or seller, to make e
written statement of the true cost
of credit.This provision, and others
in the Act, will not relieve the
consumer of his normal respon
sibilities of shopping carefully
and choosing wisely; but it will
make it easier for him to make
the right decisions.
Disclosure of the cost
of borrowing
In all time payment transactions the
borrower mpst be given a written note
of the cost of borrowing, both in dollars
and cents, and as an annual percentage
rate, before credit is granted. The lender
must also set down any charges he in
tends to make if the borrower should
default on payments.
Cooling-off Period
This new ruling applies to sales made
by itinerant sellers, which is the Act’s
name for sellers who operate away from
their permanent place of business, and
who make a charge to the buyer for the
privilege of buying on time.
A contract made with an itinerant seller
can now be cancelled by the buyer, pro
vided he does so in writing and delivers
the cancellation to the seller personally,
or by registered mail, within two work
ing days of the contract being signed,
if he cancels in this way, the buyer must
return any goods already supplied, and
the seller must return any money or
trade-in which he may have received.
The trade-in does not becometheseller’s
property until the two-day cooling-off
period has elapsed without the buyer
cancelling the contract.
Registration of itinerant sellers
As from July 31st, 1967, all itinerant
sellers as defined by the Act must reg
ister withthe Consumer Protection Bu-
reau. If the seller is a company or e
partnership, only th® company or part
nership must register, not the individual
employees.
Information to be contained
in a contract
Under the new Act, certain important
details must be written into all contracts
for the sale of goods dr services to a
consumer, when the purchase price Is
$50 or over. To be binding, the contract
must comply with the Act and must be
signed by all parties, who must each
receive a duplicate original copy.
Repossession
If the buyer should default after two-
thirds of the purchase price has been,
paid, the seller cannot repossess with
out permission of a judge.
Penalties
Substantial penalties are provided for
contravention of the Act and its Reg
ulations. Lenders and sellers who are
likely to be affected are urged to make
themselves" familiar with the Act.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
Borrowers and buyers should bear
in mind that nothing in the new Act
relieves them of the responsibility
of making careful decisions when
considering a loan, or a purchase
on credit. Keep this notice as a re
minder of your rights. Information
on borrow! ng, andon cred it buying, .
is contained in a leaflet which can ’
be obtained from the Consumer
Protection Bureau, 123 Edv.mrd
Street, Toronto 2.
Lenders and sellers should make
themselves familiar with the Act
and its Regulations. The Consumer
Protection Act 1966 and Ontario
Regulation 207/67 (250 each) can
be obtained from the Queen'S
Printer, 26 Breadalbane Street,
Toronto 5. For advice on the work
ing of the Act and its Regulations,
seeyour qualified business adviser.
