PAGE 4, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5. 1975, WHITBY FREE PRES: and crdMM- USING A CHARGE CARD Charge cards were virtually, unknown 20 years'ago. Today, many people would find it hard to imagine life without such a convenience. With a charge card, one can make small purchases, enjoy thein immed- iately and pay cither some or ail of the purchase price at the end of the month. Charge cards are also the advance signal for the "less cash/less cheque" payments system of the future, when insertion of a coded charge card into a ' special machine will enable one account to be debited and another credited almost instantaneously. Much less cash will be in circulation and fewer cheques will be written, thus stemming the formidable flood of paper which now strains the banks' processing system.

Since a lot of money fi involved in these transactions the charge card cornpany usually checks fairly carefully on the customer before issuinË the card. The varieus credit cards issued by the banks have beer arranged for the convenience of the public,, They speed things up; they establish credit if you are out of town and short of cash; they enable you to buy things when you need thiem, so long as you can pay for them in the future - either at the lend of the month or in a reasonable time. These cards are flot designed to make the acquisition of the goods and services so easy that it can be abused. The Canadian banks only issue these devices to people whom they know to be credit-worthy. The banks do not wvant to encourage people to get into debt over their heads. They only want to make life a little less complicat- ed in a complicated wonld.
