> Consumer Forum by • /•' Illinois Attorney General Wiilliam J. Scott Have you ever purchased a small appliance...had it break sooner than seemed ac­ ceptable...and ultimately decided to replace it rather than endure all the headaches of trying to get it repaired under its warranty? Likely it took you forever simply to FIND the warranty, then the same amount of time to try to UNDERSTAND it! Well, things are going to be better -- at Jeast, better in terms of understandable warranties. Effective July 4, a -.^ew federal act went into effect- requiring all warranties on consumer goods costing more than $5.00 to be written in "simple and readily understood language." In other words, the " h e r e i n a f t e r s " . , : a n d "wheresofores" will give way to laymen's language. You won't have to be pals with an your week ahead BY DR. A.W. DAMIS Forecast Period: July 20 to July 26 It's that old thing about good fortune traveling along strange avenues. Anyway, a reversal will take on a surprising twist and work out to your benefit. Do your best to paint this week's events with a broad brush of optimism. Actually, you'll face a series of setbacks, especially, with the op­ posite sex. You've heard of a mouse trap? Anyway, it seems as though an associate, connected witti your job, task or project, is trying to put your nose on the cheese. It seems as though you'll blunder onto secrets that must not be shared with anyone. What is more, someone in authority will boost your confidence Getting along with a routine associate could be a problem, this week. Remember, we're never treacherous, according to our own light. Think about it! By imperceptible degrees, things will go your way. In other words, you'll do a better than you think job. So, don't air a grievance. Long term plans or investments should show signs of paying off, during this cosmic cycle. It's not the time to "shift horses in mid stream." Many members of your sign will form a firm and productive friendship, at this time. Get­ ting along with people, in general, is in the scheme of things. You'll be in the mood to tell someone off or write a "poison pen" letter. Also, curb the urge to use the "needle" on your associates. Most members of youV sign unattached, can look for a refreshing meeting with a member of the opposite sex Other Capri corns, will seek cooperation and teamwork. Strange alliances and intrigues, show in your chart. There's an outside possibility that you might become involved in a "get rich" scheme.

There still aren't regulations as to exactly what information a warranty must include. These will be worked on by the Federal Trade Commission over the next six months. But the warranty, effective July 4, must be understandable. The F.T.eC alsfr will have^one year to probe warranty practices and sales in the used car in­ dustry and write regulations for them, too. 4. If you buy a product costing over $10, its warranty not only should be clear, but should state whether it is a "limited"J or a "full" warranty. A "full" warranty means your product must be repaired or replaced without charge within a "reasonable" time. If you take the same item to be repaired again and again for a "reasonable" number of times, the law says you probably have a lemon and the item should be replaced"under its "anti- lemon" provision. (Those "reasonable" numbers and times will be spelled out in the F.T.C.'s regulations due in six months.) If you ^still don't get satisfaction, you have the right to go to court, either in an in­ dividual suit or as part of a class action suit. But most 169 1656 9 MAU CUVIO»*« . BEAUTY SALON PHONE 385-4100 warranties likely will urge or insist that you try to get a dispute settled through less formal proceedings, such as the Attorney General's Division of Consumer Fraud and Protection. It is hoped that these clearer warranties will help the con­ sumer understand exactly the service to which he is entitled, what he must do - and-or pay -- to get that service, where he can get the service, and when, if and-or how the item in replaceable if it proves to be a "lemon." One added word of ad­ vice....The new warranty language can't help you if you misplace the warranty! It's wise to have one drawer or one place where you keep all warranties, including model number and other, descriptive information, date and place of purchase, and sales receipt. Educational assistance was provided by the Veterans ad­ ministration to nearly 2.5 million veterans,, military service personnel and dependents during fiscal year 1974-more than in any previous fiscal vear under the current GI Bill. V.A. NEWS wosxxxxxxxxxsoocwocmc* EDITOR'S NOTE: Veterans and their families are asking thousands of questions con­ cerning the benefits their Government provides for them through the Veterans Ad'-k ministration. Below are some representative queries. Ad­ ditional information may be jobtayied at any VA office. - The Veterans ad­ ministration provides special housing benefits for some ^ veterans who suffer severe service-connected disabilities. What are they? <_A - Eligible veterans are provided grants of not more than 50 per cent of cost of specially/acTc^ptejl housing (wheelchair homes") up to a maximum of $25,000. Q - I keep hearing about "vet reps" on campuses of major colleges around the country. Who are thev, and what do they do9 A -- They are, as the name implies, specially-trained V e t e r a n s a d m i n i s t r a t i o n representatives. They assist college-going veterans by e x p e d i t i n g e d u c a t i o n a l assistance payments, and in many instances, perform "outreach", motivational counseling and other services. A -- I Worked in a medical l a b o r a t o r y b e f o r e I w a s d i s c h a r g e d f r o m m i l i t a r y service last month. How should I go about getting a similar job w i t h t h e V e t e r a n s a d ­ ministration? A - Contact the personnel office of the nearest VA hospital for information on employment opportunities at t h e a g e n c y ' s h o s p i t a l s a n d clinics. If you qualify for a Veterans Readjustment Act Appointment, this would eliminate much of the paper work usually associated with Civil Service appointments.
