industries and individuals in Newmarket can be and are often taken in by canvassers whose intentions are questionable There was a good example this week when a canvasser made calls on Main Street merchants asking them to purchase advertising space in a year book for the Ontario Softball Association Some were told that the sports editor of this newspaper was behind the campaign others were told that funds would be returned to the youth of Newmarket in the form of athletic equipment Little or none of what the merchants were told v There reports that anyone had ffiven money to this cause- One did part with but managed to retrieve But the point had anyone given money he not do anything about his error legally- because giyfin all the information by telephone did his selling throughout the day by telephone In this country one say anything on telephone Tele phone conversations do up as evidence in a court hl So it was that the canvasser was able to tell most of the merchants oil Main Stiet that sports editor and other well officials supporting his campaign He had no fear of being arrested- After he had completed the telephone he send a young lady to the merchants who had been sold to collect their donations It is- up to the individual to watch for these Questionable canvassers for his own The Chamber of Commerce offers an interviewing service whereby each is interviewed by
