On June 15, 1971, a Schreiber resident turned in a bicycle found at the Legion Hall, and the owner was located and the bicycle returned.

On June 18, 1971, Ken Davis, Schreiber, reported the theft of his 1967 Chev to this office. The car and two suspects were apprehended at Marathon, by the Marathon Detachment O.P.P. Both subjects have been charged with "Theft of Auto" and are to appear in Thunder Bay court at a later date. They are also wanted by the R.C .M.P. at Burnaby B.C. . for escaping custody. Two passengers on the Greyhound Bus reported June 19 that their wallets were missing when they arrived at Schreiber. Thunder Bay police were advised and are conducting an investigation at that point. The public are reminded that while travelling, extra caution should be taken to safeguard your money. While in crowded places, pick pockets are usually active and have taken wallets or purses and disappeared before the loss is discovered. On the traffic scene, a collision involving Kerr Angus, Terrace Bay, Ontario occurred on the Kim- berly-Clark Woodland Road and was investigated by Constable Lapworth on June 18. The collision was caused as a result of a moose crossing the road. Further investigation into the rash of Break, En- ter and Thefts that occurred recently has resulted in another youth being charged and will appear in court at a later date. The public are again to be congratulated for their sincere co-operation with the Police regarding var- ious investigations.

All other cases were remanded or warrants issued. THE ONTARIO CONSUMER CARAVAN The Consumer Caravan is an extension of the con- tinuing consumer protection and information programs administered by Ontario's Department of Financial and Commercial Affairs. Its objective is to promote and sustain public awar=- eness of consumer rights and responsibilities in the market place and through the dominant theme of "think BEFORE you Buy'. Since its formation in 1966, the Department has consistently enunciated and advocated a principle and practice of full and true disclosure of all mater- ial facts surrounding buyer-seller transactions. Simply put, it is a matter of getting "all of the facts" on the table to allow consumers to make their own decisions under fair and reasonable circumstances. The presentations inside the Caravan, and the audio visual program screened on the outside, deal with a number of critical arzas which affect all of us in a variety of ways. Areas such as consumer credit, real estate, buying a used car, investments and securities. Special problems unique to young people and to the elderly are highlighted. The Caravan will be visiting many locations in Ontario and will be sited primarily at "people cen- tres" such as shopping plazas and high schools. Your local business community will have assisted you and this Department by providing facilities for the Caravan visit. Consumer problems, whether imagined or real, require on-going dialogue between the business sector and the public they serve. The Caravan, we suggest, could provide a useful forum for the exchange of ideas and views of common inter= est. A member of the Department of Financial and Commercial Affairs, Mr. Ray Garstang, will accom= pany the Caravan on its travels handling individual enquiries and complaints. Mr. Garstang, who is familiar with the Department's programs will give answers where possible and bring difficult cases back to the appropriate people in the Department where they will be investigated thoroughly and dealt with promptly. to The Caravan will be located in Schreiber on the extension of Scotia Street, opposite the Township Hall. It will be open to the public from 2:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. on July 12th, 1971.
