This is what Ontario is doing to help you protect it. 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, the. consumer, 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. To find out the many ways the Act works to your advantage, send for a free Consumer Reporting Act brochure.

With the score tied at three apiece, a pair of homeruns off the Lieury bats gave them the win. Friday night Lucan travelled to Granton to do battle with By SID DALEY Did you know the total mem- bership of the Royal Canadian Legion is 327,420, of which 113,501 are in Ontario.

Don't yoh know what that means?" "Well, I should hope I do, young man," snapped the lady. "I've been teaching school for 40 years." Not too much news around 540 these days however here is something I cameacoss the other day which is worth repeating: Gems of Wisdom Character: The best way to judge a man is not what other men say about him, but by what he says about other men, Revenge: There is no passion of the human heart that promises so much and pays so little as revenge. Silence: Blessed are those who have nothing to say, and cannot be persuaded to say it. Middle Age: One of the many things nobody tells you about middle age is that it's such a nice change from being young. Heart: When a young man complains that a young lady has no heart, it's a pretty certain fact that she has his. Charm: If you have charm, you don't need to have anything else, and if you don'thave it, it doesn't matter what else you have.
