Other people change their phone numbers. Some even change their residence from month to month to avoid it. What are they attempting to avoid? Each of the above individuals individuals is trying not to pay his or her bills when due. Paul Scott was a guest speaker at a Chamber of Commerce meeting held recently recently at King's Garden Restaurant in Bowmanville. Bowmanville. A specialist in collecting collecting overdue accounts, Mr. Scott spoke about the most productive ways of collecting collecting when credit is due. "The positive approach is the best approach," he said. "The idea is to project the potential benefit to your customer, in this case the debtor. Like, 'If you pay me today, I won't have to call you tomorrow,' or, 'My boss wants to sue you today, but..." Don't get the image that Paul Scott is the stereotypical stereotypical moustached villain in black frock coat and top hat. Far from it. He's a businessman businessman who has to run a business, business, and it won't last without without payment of outstanding accounts. Without proper training, however, an account collector's collector's job can be as satisfying as a pounding headache. Too often the untrained collector collector gets nothing for his or her efforts. The best results, Mr. Scott said, .come from direct, point-blank questioning, like 'what time today can you come in and pay?' A bill collector who skips around the point of the call, namely, the money, is going to get exactly what he or she asks for -- nothing. Firmness Firmness tempered by fairness are the prerequisites for this job. The system is simple. Identify yourself. Make sure you have the right person person on the line. Ask for your money. Listen for the reply. Reiterate what will happen, and close as politely as circumstances circumstances permit. Usually the client comes through. But there are problems. Some clients are elusive, changing addresses and phone numbers. Others are openly hostile. Some lie about their inability to pay. Others are simply unfortunate unfortunate enough to be short the money they owe. "When you first start out, or if you haven't had the proper training, it's hard to be tough. There is a hesitancy," hesitancy," he said. "But," he adds, "theré are people who'take advantage with some people, and they try to get away with it. Never take as gospel what someone someone says to you. Investigate. Look for assets. Ask them to borrow money from relatives. relatives. If they have a Visa or Mastercard they can get a cash advance on them. It's pretty hard in this society for people, what with welfare welfare and social systems, to be completely unable to pay." The people who are most likely to be taken advantage of are the "Mom and Pop" businesses, like corner variety stores. Credit is extended, extended, but often the debtor doesn't pay.

Courtice Secondary School Parents' Meeting Re: 8:30 School Start in September 1987 The recently conducted survey indicated that students, staff, and parents were interested in school starting at 8:30 a.m. You are cordially invited to attend this meeting to express your views on this proposed change to the school day. Meeting Will Start Tuesday, June 16,1987 7:30 p.m. in Cafeteria E. Wolfe, Principal The Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education By Andrew Rice On Friday, April 10, approximately one hundred and twenty students boarded three highway coaches bound for Quebec City. There was a lot of excitement in the air as plans for this trip were started in the fall of 1986, The buses departed promptly promptly at 8:00 a.m. and two or three stops were made en route depending on which bus you were on. At approximately approximately 5:15 p.m., the last bus arrived at our hotel, Loews le Concorde. The hotel was located right beside The Plains of Abraham and only three city blocks from the gates of the old city. The Quebec National Assembly (the Provincial Legislature) was only two blocks away. Quebec City is a unique city in that there is a very old part which is separated from the new city by a wall. Laws have been enacted to protect this part of the city from developers. developers. The buildings may look very old on the exterior, but most of | them were very modern orç the inside. Narrow' streets, small restaurants, a boardwalk, ' extravagant Chateau Frontenac and a European atmosphere all contribute contribute to the uniqueness of this city.

The tour detailed a lot of the history behind the old city. At 1:00 p.m., we were scheduled to take a tour of La Citadelle, a fort adjacent to the Plains of Abraham, but a few people were late; as a result, we missed our tour. All was not lost as some students took the opportunity to get a little sun! At 2:30 p.m. we attended a show at La Musee Du Fort. This was a presentation which re-enacted the six seiges that came against Quebec City 250 years ago. A shopping excursion excursion filled the balance of the day. We arrived at the shopping shopping centre at 4:00 p.m., and we told our bus driver to pick up up at 6:00 p.m. We didn't know that the mall closed at 5:00p.m. Another bus was told to return at 7:00 p.m.; some students learned how to catch a cab! Sunday was filled with several stops. We saw the Basilica de Ste. Anne (a huge cathedral with an ornately decorated ceiling), Mont Ste. Anne (one of the largest ski resorts in Quebec), Woodcar- vers and Sculptors, and we made a lunch stop at Marie's Baker's Oven (a restaurant with traditional French Canadian food). Later we toured the Quebec City Aquarium and drove around lies d'Orleans (an island with many smaller farms and many traditional French Canadian homes). Monday morning we left at 8:00 a.m. and we arrived home at about 5:00 p.m. very tired. Throughout our stay in Quebec City the weather was very good. Friday and Saturday the temperature was about 20 degrees Celsius! Sunday was a little cooler but Sunday night was very windy. In closing, I would like to add that it was a well organized trip. Thanks go to the French Department and to the parental volunteers. The students of B.H.S. do appreciate appreciate your efforts.
