DNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 24. 1975 # These phony inspectors have gained accessto several homes in local communities in recent weeks by posing as utility company representatives performing wiring or appliance inspections. Con-artists, operating alone or in small groups, have vic­ timized hapless homeowners by making cursory wiring inspections and informing the homeowner that extensive work is needed to bring the house up to city standards. Another popular tactic is to get the homeowner in an isolated part of the home, while an accomplice scours the home for valuables. "Householders should ask to see the Kdison identification card of any person seeking access to their homes under the guise of an electrical inspector or meter man." according to L.I). Strohman. Edison manager. Every Edison em­ ployee carries an identification card containing a picture. Moreover, the utility does not conduct unsolicited inspections of household wiring. Strohman added. Local police officials should be notified immediately if an inspection scheme appears suspicious.

Rich and Barbara Reiter managed to get in a lot of traveling and sightseeing. They, their son. John, Barb's brother. Steve , and the family's dog. first drove to Colorado. They went through Rocky Mountain national park, also Cripple Creek, and camped out for three days. The Reiters used to have a 20 ft. trailer, but decided it was much easier, and more enjoyable to camp out in tents. One night was spent near the top of Mt. Evans, where the scenery was beautiful, but the weather so cold, it was hard getting the car started in the morning. On Wednesday, the Reiters left Colorado and drove through to Arkansas to spend the rest of their vacation with good friends, and former neighbors, Bill and Petey Schmitt. The Schmitts, and their son. Bill, are all well, and say hi, and Mr. Schmitt is waiting for Allan McKim to write. While in Arkansas both families did a lot of sightseeing, and visited several antique shops. One day they took a trip to an unique village near Grove, Okla. It consists of sixty log cabins, each furnished in detail to represent a home or business from 100 years ago. There was a post office, tavern, general store, doctor and dentist office, plus many other business places and homes.
