Shoppers Advised To Check Guarantees on Appliances Corvallis - Shoppers eyeing appliances as Christmas gifts should double check on the "guarantee" or "warranty" which accompany them. Nearly 50 per cent of the total small appliances are pur chased as Christmas gifts, ac cording to Miss B e r n i c e Strawn, extension home man agement and equipment spe cialist at Oregon State Col lege. To protect consumers, the Federal Trade commission has recently requested that if ad vertising mentions the word "guarantee" it must clearly state exactly what the guar antee includes. Although in dustry itself is conducting a campaign for more honest ad vertising, a few misleading or incomplete statements may creep into claims. Miss Strawn advises shop pers to ask how long the guar antee lasts, what part or parts of the products are guaran teed, and if any parts are not covered. The customer should also inquire what he has to do to take advantage of the guar antee - return it or pay charges. Find out who backs the guarantee, the manufac turer or the dealer. Some times the guarantee allows tor a refund, repair or re placement, but not , always, she continues. Frequently, adjustments de pend on how long the appli ance has been used and are based on list price rather than the price paid. All in all, what may appear to be a bargain may not really be one when all facts are known, she cautions. Persons who receive some of these appliances as gifts and find it necessary to ex change them should also check on the warranty offered with the exchange, the specialist reminds. Popular gift items include trypans, can openers, steam irons, knife sharpeners cof fee makers, hair dryers and shavers. Guarantees on large appliances-dishwashers, vacu um cleaners, washers and dry ers-should also be studied and kept in a known place in the home, Miss Strawn concluded. Guild Has Program Civil Defense Director Talks For Two Groups A briefing on civil defense preparedness was given by the county civil defense director, Maj. J. H. Hicks, at a meeting last week of Crater Lake post, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and auxiliary. The group discussed how it could work with local com mittees, who h a, v e been trained to take care of the population in case of disaster. Gen. Hicks explained how each family should prepare for emergencies by putting aside foods and plenty of drinking water. Post and auxiliary members will hold their annual Christ mas meeting at 2 p.m; Decem ber 18. Girl Scout troop 130, sponsored by the : auxiliary, and a number of other chil dren will entertain. Santa Claus will distibute gifts and treats. . On December 20 " and 21 auxiliary members of south ern Oregon will fill and wrap 1000 baskets at the veterans administr a t i o n domiciliary The baskets, full of fruit, can dies and nuts, will be distrib uted by post and auxiliary members at the domiciliary Christmas day.
