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.” If God hath made this world his. grandparents Mr and Nirs, Thqs.Hdggitt.

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. / -Personals Mr. and Mrs. John Boer of Calfornia are visiting with her father, Mr Robert Arthur and sister, Miss Jayne Arthur.

STEEP — 482-6642 L ONTARIO 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.
