Wingham Advance-Times, 1977-06-08, Page 16Wingham Advance -Times, June 8, 1977 FamIly motor trips can be made fun -...One-of these -.warm-days -you'll be locking the house, shooing the children into the car and starting off on a trip. Although some par- ents may feel a bit uneasy about the prospect, a family car trip should be fun. The fist step toward a happy journey is to plan for stops along the way. The experts at Tilden Rent -a -car suggest that parents check over the map and circle towns or picnic areas spaced about an hour and a half apart. These needn't be long stops, just enough time to stretch legs and relax a bit. Most important are lunch and overnight stops. A good travel guide wi11 help to plan for these. Children enjoy 'the excitement of getting away from home. But boredom sets in easily when they are confined. To avoid the inevit- able squabbles and grouchiness, Tilden suggests that you be pre- pared to provide diversions. There are a number of games the children can play during the driving day, Ii they are old enough a travel checker game can be all.absorbing. Have plenty of paper pads and pencils. Have each child keep tratk of provin- cial or out of country license plates. The first one who spots a license plate that's new jots it down on his pad. At the end of the day (this game can be played off and .on ,during the -trip) give a small prize to the winner. Another paper and pencil game can turn tears to laughter in no time. One -child draws the head of a person or animal (keeping what he has drawn a secret) . The paper is folded hiding the head and the second child then draws the upper torso and so on until the legs are completed. When the paper is unfolded the results are strange and hilarious. Nature can provide other diversions. For example, clouds can be a source of wonder and de- light. Suggest to the children that they look at the white fleecy clouds and use their imagina- BROAD JUMP—Dianne Wray makes a 1.80 metre leap in the broad jump at Turnberry Public.,,School field day.

The Law and You The following is reprinted from the °°Law and the Layperson" series of pamphlets, printed by the Community Law Program, University of Windsor. WHEN TO SUE All legal actions are subject to what are called "limitation per- iods". This means that you must commence your action within a stipulated period of time or lose your right to sue: The time varies depending upon the type of ' action that one is bringing. The following are some of the most common limitation periods: a) Automobile accidents — the action must be started within two years from the date on which the accident occurred. .If you are involved in a motor vehicle accident . with a crown - owned vehicle, you have only six months within which to start a court action. b) Debts — the action must be commenced within six years from the date on which the debt was incurred; OR, within six years from the time that the de- fendant last acknowledged the, existence of the debt. The follow- ing hypothetical example may help to show how those limita- tions function together. Joe has loaned money to John and repayment is due in 1976. Under the first part of the rule, Joe would have until 1982 to sue, if John does not repay. But if John makes a partial payment in 1978, he has acknowledged the existence of the debt, and Joe now would have until 1984 to com- mence any action for non-pay- ment of the rest of the debt. c) Simple contracts — you have six years from the date , of a "breach of contract" within which to Start a court action. A "breach" usually occurs when one party to a contract fails to live up to his or her obligations under that contract. Example: You have a contract with XYZ Construction Ltd. for the installation of aluminum siding. XYZ Construction -installs siding which is not aluminum. You have six years from the time the siding was installed in which to sue. d) There are many statutes which put special limitations on actions against governmental bodies or professionals such as dentists and physicians. i) Physicians — a, malpractice action must be started within one year from the date of the treat- ment which gave rise to the dam- age. ii) Dentists — the limitation period is six months. iii) Lawyers — the limitation period is one year. iv) Municipality — if you sue for damages caused by non -re- pair of roads, you must begin your action within 3 months of the date the damage was incurred.

WHERE TO SUE Each county ..in Ontario is geo- graphically divided into divisions and each division has its own, Small Claims Court.
