Nineteen federal and state agencies have agreed to par­ ticipate in the day-long event, Aronson said.

According to Aronson, Similar conference coordinated by the SBA in other locations have drawn "excellent response." One conducted in Kalamazoo, Mich., in early April attracted a crowd of 1,400 he said. "This indicates clearly that there is a need on the part of the small businessman or woman for help and information," Aronson said.

Consumer Alert -Buying a used car can be an expensive proposition- especially if you don't check it out thoroughly before you purchase it. Don't be fooled by a shiny wax job, for that gleaming hood could be hiding a lot of problems that won't show up until after you've signed the contract and driven out of the lot. Governor's Consumer Ad­ vocate Celia Maloney says you can avoid future expensive repair bills if you approach a used car purchase with the following tips in mind: Check the reputation of the agencies, car lots or repair shops you wish to visit with the nearest Better Business Bureau. They keep up-to-date files on companies that have had complaints registered against them. Remember that you assume many risks when buying a used car. You should find out everything you can about the condition of the car before you sign a contract. There are several simple checks you can make on a car while still on the lot. The Consumers Union has a booklet called "How to Buy a Used Car" which describes a number of such risks. Before you buy a used car, have a mechanic check it over. He can check the brakes, compression, transmission, shocks and general engine and body in a matter of a few minutes and rarely will charge more than a nominal charge. Some areas also have complete automobile diagnostic centers available. Make the salesman talk in terms of total price, not dollars per month. Be sure that his stated total price corresponds with the price on the contract you sign. If a salesman in an agency or lot begins to apply "un­ comfortable" sales pressure, bow out quickly. Many used cars are sold "as is." If it is, you will probably be responsible for anything that goes wrong. Written warranties and guarantees are important. Make sure that you understand exactly what they say because some elaborate guarantees many not provide as much protection as they appear to. Consider the warranty as you would any other aspect of the sale when deciding what and where to purchase. Don't rely on general statements about a used car such as "This is a great little car" or "You'll get lots of miles out it " Check it out yourself. If you have a consumer complaint or question, write or call Celia Maloney, Governor's Consumer Advocate, 160 N. LaSalle, Room 2010, Chicago, Illinois, 60601, 312-793-2754.
