(Community information 526-9333 9 a.m.-5p.m,| Consumers...what are our respon- sibilities? y We all know there are two sides to every coin, two sides to every story. If we are to enjoy our rights we must~accept our responsibilities. As consumers we have these respon- sibilities: The responsibility to protect ourselves by shopping carefully and wisely, understanding the terms of the sale, reading and following instructions, getting guarantees in writing and saving receipts, asking questions at point of sale and keeping informed about new products. The responsibility of carrying out our transactions in a business-like way; such as reporting unsatisfactory products to retailers and manufacturersiin order that they may be removed from shelves and future production. The responsibility to tell other con- sumers about any unfair treatment by a retailer or manufacturer so consumers can protect themselves in future dealings. (The Better Business Bureau can warn other consumers of firms which have a number of complaints filed against them). The responsibility to report apparently unsafe merchandise to Consumer and Corporate Affairs Canada so it can be tested and, if specifically labelled. Already action has been taken against some dangerous items such as certain baby rattles, toys, flammable fabrics and car seats, If we discover dangerous items and simply toss them into the garbage, we are shirking our responsibility as a consumer.

LePage Lacrosse Novices rebounded with a pair of wins in Hunt- sville over the weekend to qualify for provincial playdowns. Midland bounced Huntsville 11-5 in game one with an explosive five goal outburst from Jesse Perrault as Jamie Peden and Mike Waltenbury notched two apiece. Chris Walser and John Brophey also found the mark with one goal each. David Chalmers handled the scoring in game two with a string of four goals as Shaun Desjardins and Jesse Perrault also picked up singles. Midland was able to turn back the huntsville attack and maintain the 6-5 win. The weekend scoring action produced an amazing scoring statistic as Jesse Perrault and David Chalmers have clicked for 100 goals in 23 games to assist the team on the road toward the Provincial Playdowns this coming weekend in Kitchener. The Midland A.E. LePage Novices will be well represented at the Playdowns and should hold their own during the tournament.
