You & Your Dollar
/{> the t.enrgia Consumer Sen ices I’rwram
Last month, I ordered some picture frames, and paid for them
in advance. Yesterday, when I went to pick them up, the frames
were not the ones I had ordered. The salesman told me that they
did not have the ones I wanted. I asked for my money back, and
he told me that it was against the store’s policy to give refunds.
He said that they would give me a credit slip for other merchan
dise, but what good is that if they don't have the frames I wanted
in the first place? Does the store have the right to do this?
A GCSP counselor has called the store, and explained that you
were not returning merchandise that you had bought, but were
refusing to accept merchandise that was not what you had
wanted to begin with. The manager has agreed to give you a
refund since the store was at fault in this case.
When I moved into this apartment, I signed a six-month lease.
At that time, I certainly expected to live here the full six months.
However, I have been drafted, and I can’t afford to pay four
months rent for a place that I can’t live in. Is there any way I can
break the lease, since I must leave through no fault of my own?
A GCSP counselor called your landlady, and explained your
problem. She was extremely understanding. She said that you had
been a model tenant, and that she would not hold you to the
lease. (PRN)

Congressman John Davis
told a group of Bartow County
supporters that “anybody who
supports the re-routing of 1-75
is supporting a higher death

Army Helps Minimize Suffering
Brought by Hurricane CELIA
FT. SAM HOUSTON, Tex. (ANF) —
Hurricane CELIA, the season’s worst hur
ricane, moved across the Texas coast in
late afternoon on August 3, cutting a path
of devastation 250 miles inland. Even be
fore she hit land the wheels were turning
to enable the military installations in the
area to assist her victims during the period
of emergency.
At the request of civil authorities, Lt.
Gen. Harry H. Critz, Fourth U.S. Army
commanding general and military coordina
tor in civil disasters for this area, ordered
the Emergency Operations Center (EOC)
at his headquarters and at the headquarters
of field installations to remain on duty
around the clock.
As soon as possible after the hurricane
had blown through the area, three UH-1H
Army helicopters from the 507th Medical
Company (Air Ambulance) at Ft. Sam
Houston, Tex., flew the Office for Emer
gency Preparedness team into Corpus
Christi to get disaster relief underway.
Essentials Brought Quickly
Another plane carried a communications
team and its equipment from the Fourth
Army Military Affiliate Relay System
(MARS) to help transmit to the “outside
world” the urgent calls for specific types of
aid.
He’s bom in a good hour
gets a good name.

all you have to do is look at
the death rate on U.S. 41 to
see that delay means promot
ing more death on the high
ways.”
“Re-routing equals delay,”
he said, “and delay equals
death. It’s just that simple.
You don’t have to be an
engineer or know how many
grains of sand there are in a
yard of concrete to figure it
out.”
“My position on the matter
is that 1-75 should be com
pleted at the earliest possible
date so hat we can reduce the
number of people being
killed.”

Water tank trucks moved into the dis
aster area from military installations
throughout the southwest and remained at
the scene to keep potable water available
for victims and relief teams.
Generators were sent from Ft. Sam
Houston, Ft. Hoed and the Bth Naval Dis
trict to help provide electrical power for
the stricken city, a service which helped re
store essential sewage disposal facilities as
well as more obvious uses of electricity.
A total of nine Army field kitchens
cooked and served 102,670 meals to hurri
cane victims during the first six days of
their operation which began August 5.
Guard and Reserve Respond
Elements of the Texas National Guard
were committed to the area to protect dam
aged businesses and homes from looting and
to help the cities begin the tasks of clearing
away debris and rebuilding.
Company C, 871st Engineer Battalion, a
Corpus Christi unit on annual training at
Sandia Base, Albuquerque, N.M., was ord
ered to return to its home area to complete
the two-week period and assist in recovery
operations at its hometown.
A gigantic job lies before disaster vic
tims, but they are just a bit closer to a be
ginning through the combined efforts of
military and civilian authorities who came
to their aid.

Great Escape.
Switch to a
flameless electric heat pump
Winter’s very welcome when the weather’s hot. The
crunchy snow and lemon sun are beautiful from the dis
tance of summer’s heat. But winter’s real wind and cold
make one long for a buzzing, muggy August afternoon.
There’s not a perfect season, outdoors. Indoors, you
can have the weather you prefer with an electric heat
pump. Like it cool and crisp? It’s yours. Heat suit you
better? Dial the temperature you want on the thermostat,
and that’s the temperature you’ll get. No matter what
the season or the time of day.
You’ll also get, for a small monthly charge, 10 years
of complete maintenance under our service plan.
So what if the heat pump can't make the snbw fall
or the sun shine? It can make you care less.

paper career with the Balti

from Johns Hopkins Univer

Baltimore Sun, he joined the
foreign desk of the New York

He will discuss the way

how he believes it is frequently
slanted to deceive the public
on crucial issues. “The New
York Times is probably the
most influential newspaper in
the world,” Dinsmore says. “It
is read in every major city, on
all large college campuses, in
every government department,
and in most other capitals of
the world. Its features and
columns are carried by hun
dreds of newspapers, and thou
sands more echo its position on
major issues.”
Dinsmore, who served on its
staff for more than 30 years,
alleges “systematic distortion
of the news” by the Times.
