Your Homo Agent
Consumer Gets
Law Protection
Against Fraud
By DONNA GEORGE
Morrow County Extension Agent
To protect the consumer from
fraud and deception in selling,
the Oregon legislature paired
the Consumer lrot-ctlon Law
which became effective in Aug
ust of l'J05.
Many homeowners. Including
some In Morrow county, have
been bothered by telephone
salesmen. This new law states
that within 30 seconds the call
er must Identify himself, his
company and the purpose of his
call. The same applies to door-
to door selling. Tlit-i should help
enminaie
nlaues as
such selllnir tech
tiioM- in wnicn a
salesman says he Is taking a
survey or thut a prize has been
won. (Usually the "winner"
muni buy something else In or
der to kvI the (trlze!)
Other deceptive selling prac
tices Include:
Exaggerated or false claims
about the product.
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.
Don't be afraid to file a com
plaint. Wrlle a letter telling all
the facts of your problem. Keep
all booklets and other printed
Information Involved In your

complaint so they are available
if needed. There are several

Families are urged to observe
the following good buying prac
tices to protect their money:
1. Don't buy In haste get
prices, and make comparison
before you buy.
2. Don't be pressured Into
signing a contract or agreement
-wait at leant three days and
ee If you still want to sign.
3. 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.

50-Gallon Drums
May Boost Wheat
In Philippines
Fred FUhnelter. 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.

Today, thanks to America's consumer-owned
rund electric systems, our nation's defense plan
ners can locate installations wherever tiny are
needed without delay.- . ;, :
Whether it a an Atomic Energy Commission
installation at Jackass Flats, Nevada, a NASA
tracking station at Blostorn Point, Maryland, or a
SAGE listening poet in some other remote part of
the country, electric power is usually available
from one of the more than 1,000 rural electrics
that serve the countryside. v ; " - ,
Throughout the country more than 580 de
fense installations, ranging from a Titan II base
to Minuteman sites and SPADAT detection sys-'
terns, are served by rural electric systems.
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.
