Recourse Lacking
On Stereo ‘Sale’
By G. B. DENTON
Copley News Service
Q. The stereo store adver
tised it was going out of busi
ness and would “meet or beat
any price brought in.” I
thought this was a splendid
opportunity. “Our loss is your
gain,” it said. I believed, on
the strength of this statement,
that this store’s prices were
well below the market. Impul
sively I invested over $350 in a
complete stereo unit. I did feel
squeamish about store signs
stating “No returns on
merchandise,” but that didn’t
stop me. After my purchase,
with the set installed in my
home, I went to visit several
other stores to learn how
much I had saved and those
stores were selling my stereo
SSO below the price I had paid.
It really upset me even though
the set provided excellent
music, does everything I had
hoped it would. What recourse
do I have?
A. You have no legal re
course which is what I assume
you have in mind. Further, it
is not likely this store is in
terested in your good will

since they are not expecting to
continue in business long
enough to enjoy it. The adver
tisement stating they will
meet or beat any price
brought in is simply an offer
to bargain with you over the
prices marked on their mer
chandise; it doesn’t warrant
their prices are low. The signs
stating “no returns” closed
the door on any remedy you
may be contemplating
short of violence. When a
shopper sees a sign “Sale,
Going Out of Business,” she
should automatically exercise
caution in making any pur
chases.

Sen. Nunn Wants DST
Repeal Before Winter
WASHINGTON - U. S.
Senator Sam Nunn
announced that he is
intensifying his efforts to
have year-round Daylight
Savings Time (DST) repealed
before next winter.
Nunn contacted Senator
Warren Magnuson, chairman
of the Senate Commerce
Committee, asking that the
committee consider holding
immediate hearings on
legislation to repeal
year-round DST. A bill
introduced last January to
repeal year-round DST is still
pending in the Commerce
Committee.
“My request,” Nunn
added, “was prompted by a
recent Department of
Transportation study which
confirmed my orginial belief
that year-round DST would
Norton Says School
Post “Overlooked”
For the fust time in more
than 40 years, the citizens of
Georgia are being given a
chance to choose a person for
one of the most important
yet overlooked offices in
Georgia, State School
Superintendent. Since no one
has had opposition in recent
years, few people realize that
the State School
Superintendent is an elected
office.
Dr. William A. “Bill”
Norton a former classroom
teacher, principal and school
psychologist entered the race
against the present two-term
superintendent Jack P. Nix.
Dr. Norton states that
Georgia’s school system is
Internal magnetic
compass guides birds
A research team at Frank
furt University, West Germa
ny, observed three different
varieties of warblers to dis
cover how they find their way
so accurately.
Choosing starry nights for
their experiment and inter
fering with the magnetism of
the birds’ surroundings so
that the artificial magnetic
fields deviated from earth’s
magnetic pole by 120 degrees,
they found the warblers chose
a wrong course of 180 degrees,
indicating the warblers fly by
internal magnetic compass,
using the stars only as a navi
gational aid. CNS
have only a minimal energy
savings impact.” The DOT
study, Nunn said, indicated
that longer daylight hours
saved only .75 hundredths of
1% of what energy
consumption would have
been without DST.
'According to Nunn, there
is a much better chance for
repeal of year-round DST
now. When congress voted on
repeal last January, the
country was in the midst of
the energy crisis and the
administration was predicting
a 3 to 4 percent energy
savings, he said.
“This legislation demands
action before the winter
months when it is inherently
dangerous to have so many
young children going to
school in the dark,” Nunn
added. (PRN)
one of the poorest in the
nation. For this system the
taxpayers are spending over
900 million dollars. Norton
feels education in Georgia can
be much better. He believes
the citizens of Georgia need
to examine how the tax
dollars are spent.
Because of the large
number of candidates for
governor, lieutenant governor
and other state-wide races,
there is a tendancy to
overlook the race for State
School Superintendent.
Parents, teachers and
concerned citizens are
encouraged to get involved in
this race. (PRN)
