Offering a gift or commission In exchange for your giving the names of othif prospective buy ers. (The consumer gets the commission only If the person he suggests buys.) The protection given by this law will deiiend upon the alert ness of consumers to "think be fore they buy" and to report any sales practices they experience which appear deceptive.

Ask questions about: the company the characteristics of prod uct or service the cost of product or serv ice the costs for financing; the warranty 4. Don't let yourself be rush ed by a sales talk that says it is the "last chance" to get in on a good thing. Take your time. 5. Insist that all details of a sale be in writing. 6. Read the contract or agree ment carefully before signing. If a large nmount of money is Involved, get some legal advice. 7. Never lgn a blunk contract or agreement. 8. Insist on a copy of any con tract signed for yourself. 9. Don't allow a salesman to leave merchandise with you on an "approval receipt" until he returns. You may find you sign ed a sales contract. 10. Don't buy more than you can afford. It may be easy to get credit but you do have to pay eventually. 11. Using credit increases the cost to you.

Philippine dlr- ector reprewntlng the Oregon U'lmtl CrriuiTi Ij-at-ue. reixats that the answer to one of Amer ica's wheat marketing problems In his area may lie In an em- ntv fjO uallon gasoline drum high In the mountains of Bo- hot province. What does an empty gasoline drum have to do with wiling U. S. wheat? Mr. Schneher explains It this way: "Many Hllplnos live in n'tniiln anil rural areas. It's hard to get to many of these places and cmm product distribution Is difficult. I'art of our problem In wiling more U. S. wheat to the Philippines is getting fresh bakery products to me custom ers." Working with a Peace Corps Volunteer, a bakery has been built out of bamtoo wltn a .kj gallon drum installed as the hnblnn iivcn It r.t Dracticallv nothing to build and is at prcs- nt putting our t.vJ rous a uay. t is hoped this Idea can be adapted to other areas In the 'hillpplnes. The Bureau of Public Scnoois has been working with the league's representative and Is cry much interested in trying to adapt the gas drum concept to schools which couidn t anora a Uropr nven. Also, the Bureau of Public Schools plans to build gas drum oven in Manua to serve as a model tor oiner vil lage schools. The Rural Develop ment agency may also develop this Idea to create new Jobs and to bring a better balanced diet to the villagers. "In wheat marketing, we make use of all the tools avail able," Schnelter concluded. "In thin f-mu It lonks like one of Our tools may be an empty gasoline rum.

Until our ruralelectrics were built, with the help of Rural Electrification Administration loans, many areas of our country were, without electric . power. Today, as our populution grows and power, needs increase, rural electrics, with the continuing; rwlp of REA, are meeting the increasing demands for power all over the country and at lower an.fi lower costs. ; Together with many others who serve our defense installations, America's rural electrics are doing their part to keep our nation strong every- where . . . and everybody benefits.
