Main target of new laws found in the Consumer protec- tion Act is the door - to - door salesman armed with a condi- tional sales contract and a well- prepared line on how little his} product really costs. But the' laws are broad enough to have resulted in the registering of the province's largest department stores under a.section dealing with "itiner- ant seller as any seller whose business "includes soliciting, ne- gotiating or arranging for the signing bya buyer, at a place other than:-the seller's perma- nent place of business, of a con- tract for the sale of goods in which credit is extended .. ." Alvin Walker, 45 - year - old registrar of the new Consumer Protection Bureau, said in an interview that the definition covers employees of depart- ment stores and other firms who go to a house to arrange installation of rugs, drapes or appliances. Main feature of the Consumer Protection Act is a requirement that the buyer be given full de- tails of the cost of credit, in terms of annual interest. Firms which previously have claimed to be giving "six-per- cent interest" when in fact they kept charging a full six per cent despite the gradual repay- Sandra Stewart, all of Osh- reation filled two or three MOUNTAIN CAMP CN, CP Incvc Between Car MONTREAL (CP) --Can dian National and Canadian Pz- *)cifie telecommunications an- nounced Friday an increase in rates for telegraph messages between Canada and the United States, effective Aug. 1.

The legislation, similar to laws already in operation in Nova Scotia and planned in most other provinces, calls for registration of all itinerant sell- ers and their posting of $5,000 bonds which could be forfeited by contravention of the act. In addition, offences under the act are punishable by fines of up to $2,000 for an individual salesman or $25,000 for a firm, or a year in jail; or both The act also provides for a two-day "cooling off' period during which any sales contract signed with an itinerant seller} may be nullified. While nobody knows yet what effect the legislation will have on credit-buying habits in On- tario, the experience in parts of the United States where simi- lar laws are in effect has been that sales drop. | FIRMS GIVEN TIME | The legislation was passed in 1966 but the act was not pro- claimed until this spring, and even then firms were given an extra three months to prepare for its full implementation. interest|in the Conservative-dominated | |mint because supplies imported | Richard A.
