Ministry officials warn homeowners to beware of contractors who say they just happen to be in your neighbourhood with their equipment. Before signing anything, get references and investi- gate them. If the contractor is reputable he will give you the time to get at least three written estimates, outlining what work needs to be done and how much it will cost. If you decide to sign a contract, find out who does the actual work. In many cases, the salesman simply sells the signed contract to another company. There are other door-to- door tricks you should watch for. A salesman offers to ..'inspect" your furnace, chimney or roof for free, then you are told immediate repair work is needed. The salesman, of course, offers to do the work and has a contract ready for your signature. Don't be rushed into signing. If you suspect work is needed, take the time to choose your own contractor. Despite all your precautions you still might find you've fallen victim to an unscrupulous contractor. If so, you have several alternatives. Under The Consumer Protection Act, you have a two day cooling off period if you sign a contract over $50 in your home. The Act gives you the right to break such a contract within two working ' days by sending a registered letter to thexcompany or by personally delivering a letter to the company. A phone call is not acceptable. The Business Practices Act says no company is allowed to engage in unfair business practices by making false, misleading or deceptive claims. If you feel the contractor made a clear misrepresentation, you may send a letter cancelling the agreement. If this doesn't bring satisfaction you may take the contractor to court under the Act. For further advice on this, contact the consumer services bureau nearest you. Offices are located in Toronto, Hamilton, London, Ottawa, Peterborough, Sudbury, Thunder Bay and Windsor. Under The Mechanics' Lien Act, suppliers of goods or services not paid by the contractor or subcontractor can put a lien against your property. Therefore, the Act New drug may not be effective for arthritis In the past few years, many new drugs for the treatment of arthritis have been put on the market. Unfortunately, with some of 'these, the publicity generated has led people to believe that a "Break through" has happened and that the newest medicine is a "wonder drug." Many people are left with a false hope that a '"'cure" is avail- able or that at least the pain and suffering caused by arthritis can be eliminated. That is really not true. Many of the new drugs fall into the category of being "non-steroidal anti- inflammatory' drugs. To some people it may seem odd but the truth is that the effectiveness of this type of drug is measured against the effectiveness of aspirin. Aspirin is an amazing medicine. In small doses, it can relieve minor pain, such as that caused by headache.

It can also, in those same doses, reduce fever. When taken in larger doses it almost becomes another medicine, because it can actually reduce the inflammation of arthritis. Because it is so common and readily available, some people overlook the fact that it is a very potent tool in the management of arthritis. Many doctors say that if aspirin was to come on the market today, it would be available by prescription only. The main side-effect of aspirin is that it can cause stomach upset and gastric problems, although coated aspirin may relieve some of these side-effects. Another difficulty with aspirin is that it must be taken three or four times daily in fairly high doses, since the body excretes it, and to be effective, the blood level 'of aspirin must be maintained. The advantages of some of the new drugs are that they may have reduced side- effects and they may have to be taken only once daily. Obviously, this reduces the possibility of forgetting to take the medicine. Since aspirin is so widely used to treat arthritis, The Arthritis Society has a pamphlet called The Truth About Arthritis. It is available free of charge by writing to: The Arthritis Society, 920 Yonge St., Ste. 420, Toronto, Ont. M4W 3J7.
