`Anne' will headline summer
playhouse season in August
Anne of Green Gables will
headline the Playhouse summer
season this year according to
artistic director James Murphy.
Charter plays 1976" is also
underway says Peter Caldwell,
media liaison officer fer the
Playhouse,
Anne of Green Gables, a world
renowned musical based on Lucy
Maud Montgomery's novel, set in
Prince Edward Island, opens at
the Playhouse August 11,
The 1976 season begins June 30
however, with the opening play
yet to be announced.
The version of Anne HCP will
produce was originally put
together by Donald Harron
(lyrics) and Norman Campbell
(music) and dates back to 1956;
where it appeared as a television
musical.
Harron and Campbell were
asked in 1965 to adapt their
television script for the stage;
and Anne became an annual
success for The Confederation
Theatre in Prince Edward
Island.
Besides a decade of sell-out
success in P.E,I., the play has
sold out national tours, a London
England version, and enjoyed a
long run at New York's City
Center Theatre.
The Playhouse picked Anne
because of its Canadian origins in
a year when Canada will stage
the World Summer Olympics.
Anne features complete
musical and dance corps, and full
orchestra.
The production will rehearse in
Grand Bend in July before
playing two' weeks at the
Playhouse. Following that, the
play will tour Southwestern
Ontario for another two weeks.
Besides Anne, the Playhouse
will produce four comedies and
three musicals; the seven added
productons to be announced
March 1.
Liaison officer Caldwell says
group 'plan attendance is already
scheduled. He adds that six to
seven hundred letters will be
circulated advertising "Charter

plan, Church clubs, Senior
citizens organizations and
amateur theatre groups can

to 50 percent.

Not long after the mail strike ended I received several
boxes of Greeting Cards in the mail.1 have not the slightest
idea where this company got my name and address,
however since I was well aware that I hadn't ordered
them I just disposed of them since 1 had no intention of
paying postage to have them returned. I thought that this
would be the end of the incideng, but no, not so, because I
started receiving bills for these cards which I promptly ig-
nored! .
Now I am starting to get a little worried as I have just
received a very terse letter informing me that if 1 don't pay
immediately, they are going to turn this "Bill", over to their
collection agency.
What is my situation? Do I have to pay for these cards or
not?
The onus is certainly not on you to prove that you didn't order
this merchandise and according to the present Consumer Protec-
tion Act (section 46) a person has no responsibility towards
goods sent to him without requesting them, and cannot be re-
quired to pay for such unsolicited goods,
In your case a short noteto the company,pointing out this sec-
tion of the Consumer Protection Act 9r send them a clipping of
this published "IMPACT" question and answer, and we are sure
that they will quickly, "get off your back," permanently.

What is the position these days when a girl's fiancee
calls off the wedding at the last moment. He has left me in
one heck of a mess in every direction!
First of all, I am expecting a baby, although it does not
show yet.
I have given up a good job, spent a fortune on my
trousseau and wedding gown, and sent out wedding in-
vitations, Now he's decided to call off the wedding. I'm so
mad at him I could kill him. Instead can't I sue him or
something for breaking his promise to marry me?
The answer is, yes, you can!
When your former fiancee asked you to marry him and you
accepted, he was bound in law to keep his promise to you.
Although suits for breach of promise to marry are not that com-
mon anymore, it is still possible to sue your fiancée for any
damages you may have incurred through his breach.
In addition it would appear that you have probable grounds
for a paternity suit against this man. Obviously however, you are
going to need the services of a competent lawyer. If you cannot
afford same we suggest that you make contact with the City of
London, Legal Department, at 679-4940 without delay.
They should be able to give you further legal aid and advice.

It was one of those very cold mornings that we've been
having so many of lately, when I did something 'that I
don't normally do, . . . 1 stopped my car to offer a ride to a
young man who was hitch-hiking on the 83 highway just
east of Dashwood.
This proved to be a most upsetting experience for me as
this particular young man turned out to be very rude and
discourteous and after entering my car absolutely REFUSED
to fasten his seat belt which I requested, he do. I am a mid-
dle aged widow and was too scared to stop my tar and
order him out so proceeded with the drive to Exeter, where
1 he got out.
What would have happened if a policeman had stopped
my car? Would I have been charged had I explained to him
the circumstances?
No, definitely not! Your unwelcome passenger would have
been the one to have been charged, provided of course, that he
was 16 years old, or over. The new law governing the use of seat
belts, states, that all car occupants over the age of 16 years are
responsible to "buckle up," as long as the automobile is
equipped with seat belts.
