if} Lenny Breau was born in Maine and came to Canada with his parents in 1957. He began playing the guitar seriously at the age of 15. Three years later, he started improvising for the first time and developed an interest in jazz and the jazz guitar. He is mainly self-taught, but he does owe alot to Nashville guitarist, Chet Atkins for his help and influence. At Massey Hall, on Thursday, AprilQ7 at 7:30 p.m., Toronto Symphony director of youth programs, Victor Feldbrill, will conduct The Toronto Symphony in the season's fourth student concert. The guest artist for the occasion will be jazz guitarist, Lenny Breau, who will be making his debut with the orchestra. In case the consumer defaults in his payments, goods may be repossessed, the mortgage may be foreclosed, the chattel may be seized, or a person's reputation may be ruined. When that happens - and it Shopping for credit is easier to say than do. Of course, one needs to look at price, but not so im tently as to neglect the other aspects of the credit con- tract, the most important one of which is the security that is pledged by the com sumer to back up his promise to repay the debt. People are being advised to shop for credit without being told how to, and the phrase is in danger of becoming just another empty slogan. Besides, many may be content to think that it means shop for the lowest rate of interest, the way one might shop tor bargains. But price is not always a sure sign of a bargain in anything, and it is even less reliable where consumer credit is involved.

Mr. Breau has just returned from the University of Massachusetts Jazz Festival where he appeared with Dizzy Gillespie, Gary Burton and Amad Jamal. Security takes many forms in credit contracts. In a first mortgage, land and buildings areoledgssd. in a second mortgage, all that is left over after the first mortgage is paid is pledged. In a chattel mortgage, the furniture and equipment in a home is pledged. With a wage assignment, you permit the payments to be deducted from your wages before you get them - in other words, you pledge your paycheck. In a conditional sale contract, the goods being purchased are pledged - you don't really own the goods until they are fully paid for. the United States in night clubs and in concert.

Considering one and not the other could cause you to make a mistake. Therefore, if you shop for credit by shopping for the lowest price only, you will probably end up pledging top-value security. Then, if things do not work out during the term of the contract as you expected they would when you signed it, it could be the most expensive credit you ever bought -- whatever the credit rate. It is not an accident that, as a general rule, the greater the value of assets pledged the less the credit rate. Risk is involved in every credit transaction and it must be carried by someone -- either the credit grantor or the consumer. If the value of the pledged assets is high, the consumer carries the majority of the risk and the credit rate can be low; if the value of the pledged assets is low, the credit grantor carries the bulk of the risk and is compensated for this by a higher credit rate. This central point of credit shopping is emphasized in the information program of the Canadian Consumer Loan Association and the Federated Council of Sales Finance Companies as described in the 1972 edition of the Canadian Consumer Credit Factbook. are no longer able to get credit ... they can suffer tremendously. _ Any of the above may be picked up at the centre.

The Ontario Women's Bureau Depart- ment of Labour has sent us some very informative brochures and pamphlets. Law and the Woman in Ontario is a booklet giving a general idea of the law in Ontario as it affects women but is not intended to present solutions to particular problems. It discusses such topics as the legal position of women,political rights and duties, property rights, change of name, support, dissolution of marriage, Children. inheritance, therapeutic abortion, con- sumer protection, labor legislation, etc. It is a well compiled booklet and worth reading. Other information the department sent to us is a pamphlet on "14 Ways to Train for a Better Job.

"T he success of the du Maurier Council in the few months that it has been in existence, in at- tracting applications from all over the country, is proof that industry has a key role to play in encouraging the development of Canadian performing arts. By sup- plementing existing sources of revenue that are available from the private sector in each community. from the business community, from the theatre-going public and from various levels of government, we can support in a concrete way this very dynamic area of cultural activity in Canada."
