Taken From The Cooper Review Files
It seems as though it was only yesterday that our
schools let out for summer vacation, and families be-
gan thinking about summertime activities. But now
we enter the last four days before the start of school
and youngsters returning to the classroom.
The good times of leisure summer life mark a
time of change. Suddenly the* Fall season is upon us
and the pace quickens Family attention shifts from
plans for play to preparation for work. Youngsters
will be trading in their water skies and swim fins for
textbooks and pencils, and parents will be exchanging
their camping gear and barbecue sets for a renewed
dedication to career or school — at least, that’s the
way it should be. The opening of school usually closes
the book on Summer, at which time we should re-
dedicate ourselves to earning the fruits of labor and
study by which we hope to be better able to provide
for the support of ourselves and loved ones while con-
tributing to our country’s well-being.

It says here - “Cost of food stamp program in the
United States has increased in three years from $229
million to $1.84 billion” — a boost of more than 800
percent.
Speed - We asked a friend, who had completed a
speed reading course, if he had read a lot of books
lately. “About quit reading books,” he replied, “but I
seldom end up in the wrong restroom anymore.”

LEARN THE BASICS
Driving tip - Most accidents are caused by motor-
ists who drive in high while their minds are in neutral.
Most people made it to the table at meal time reg-
ularly during the rationing days of World War II, and
I can’t remember anyone going barefoot, or too many
times doing without tires, gasoline, meat, and canned
goods, sugar, etc. We accepted the rationing as some-
thing we had to do because we had a war to win. I
guess our main incentive today is to get Watergate out
of the news.

A survival kit for shop-
pers does not have to be
elaborate. It need only
contain eight basic rules
compiled by a leading
consumer specialist and
the phone number of the
nearest Better Business
Bureau.
Here’s how it works:
Rule 1-Read the label;
it contains important in-
formation on contents,
use of the product and
special tips or warnings.
Rule 2--Understand the
guarantee and file it for
future reference.
Rule 3--Shop price and
quality. An enexpensive
product of inferior qual-
ity is no buy.
Rule 4--Know the cost
of credit; include the ac-
crued interest on the loan
with the total cost of the
item.
Rule 5—Read
and care instructions.
Product breakdown, es-
pecially of appliances, may
often be traced to improp-
er use and handling by the
customer.
Rule 6--Check the sell-
er’s reliability. The best
way is to get in touch
with the Better Business
Bureau. The BBB system,
operating in 137 U. S.
cities under the leadership
of the Council of Better
Business Bureaus, has had
years of experience in
handling consumer/busi-
ness disputes and their re-
liability reports are very
accurate.
Rule 7--Ask who servi-
ces it. This is a major
source of customer dis*-
satisfaction. Ask for a
BBB reliability report on
the firm if you question
its servicing capabilities.
As a consumer spokes-
man has noted, “In today’s
huge and bewildering
marketplace, intelligent
buying has become an art
in itself, and the success-
ful shopper takes time out
to learn a few ground
rules.” The wise consum-
er also turns to the Better
Business Bureaus for in-
formation, advice and ar-
bitration if a difficult
consumer and business
disagreement should arise.
With so many aids at our
fingertips, we should be
able to guide our shopping
carts with greater ease and
confidence than ever be-
fore.
