Part of a certain political
party’s election platform are
to bring in
to protect the housewlfe from
door to door salesmen.

‘This legislation, if it fol-
lows that of other provinces al-
lows for a 48-hour cooling off
period’ in which the’ housewife
can. annull the signature she
mand in the heat of the mom-
ent

But it won't make any differ-
ence — bringing in this sort of
legislature — the housewife will
still buy on ¢0 contract. The rea-

talking, get a drink. ¥ you don’t
touch the stuff then Pour some
cold tea in a glass.

a contract closed under influ-
ence of liquor is not valid.
The second way of avoiding

built his house into the side of
a cliff and posted a sign at the
front, "Tradesmen and Vendors
use rear’ door.”
