The Lehi Frpe Press - Thursday, September 3, 1981 - Page A-- 6 Is Refunding Worth The Time and Trouble? By JUNE FULLER Here is this week's list of refund offers. Start looking for the required refund forms, which you can obtain at the supermarket, in newspaper and magazine advertisements and from trading with friends. Meanwhile, start collecting the needed proofs of purchase as detailed below. Remember, some offers are not available in all areas of the country. Today's refund ofers are worth make refunding seem so said as we stood in the Lois easy," checkout line. "But if I value my time at a few dollars an hour, I don't think that it's worthwhile." I was too busy to debate the matter with her. When I stand in line, I'm getting myself organized! But Lois didn't have the last word. I let the cash register speak for me. The cashier deducted $8.75 for my coupons and $24 for the free product certificates I received last week. My supermarket specials saved me more "You SI IVv V" - I walked away with more than $100 worth of food and other items for a little more than $52. But Lois did make a point that I would like to answer. So, I hope she is reading this. Yes, my refunding does take time four hours a week. If I valued time at $6 an hour, my savings my would shrink by about 50 percent. But the hours that I spend clipping filing and sending for refund offers are not those in which I would otherwise be earning money. They are leisure hours. If I wasn't working on my refunding, I might be out spending money. (I shouldn't call refunding "work" because I enjoy it as much as other people enjoy hobbies or sports. ) If I stopped refunding and got a job for those few hours - assuming anyone would hire me -- 1 would wind up spending money on gasoline, baby sitters and income taxes. I think I am doing much better spending the time at home. I am comfortable, I am with my family, and my refunds are tax free! Because of refunding and the money I save, I am able to try a lot of new products. Some don't suit me, but many become family favorites. I prefer to elect from the national brands knowing that refunding and couponing will substantially reduce their cost than to take my chances with most generics, whose quality seems to change from week to week. Last but not least, I have become good friends with the many refunders with whom I trade refund forms by mail or at coupon-clu- b meetings. No one can put a price tag on these relationships.' If you are reading this column for the first time, or if you have never tried organized refunding, I hope that you will continue reading in the coming weeks. We're going to get back to the basics of refunding. If you are spending $75 to $125 a week on your groceries, refunding can save you as much as $50 to $100 a month. So, join me next week and I will get you started on this wonderful way to beat rising food prices. Here's a refund form to write for: Tylenol Free Toothpaste Offer, P.O.

TONY PECK AND SON enjoy Peck Family Enjoy Satisfaction And Freedom Of Raising Horses It was two years ago when the Tony Peck family of Lehi chose to venture into raising horses, which today is one of Utah's largest industries. Tony recalls that the horse raising business seemed to have what his family had been looking for. Tony wanted a job where he could enjoy the freedom of being his own boss without a lot of He responsibility. wanted a worthwhile pursuit that was both and profitable en- joyable. Tony and his family enjoy horses, and know that it can be a profitable project. When the decision came it was easily made, that raising knowing horses would be a fulfillment of their ambition. Tony became in- terested in quarter horses through his , Steve who is a Houghton, partner with Tony in the horse business. Tony's brother, Tom Peck, and brother-in-laRobert Wimpy are also active partners with Tony in the new organization. brother-in-law- Raising quarter profitable business horses can be a very Tony explains. Getting started requires a lot of capital years and of several operating without a profit in order to raise selling stock. The new horses can be soldwhen they reach two years old. After two years the new stock can be sold thus returning the original investment. Peck emphasizes that working with the newborn foals and enjoys seeing their the most important part of raising quality stock is starting with top mares quality and improvment. Thompson Wayne works as a full time trainer for the Pecks. His job is to care for the horses and prepare the young horses for sale. One of the major stallions. The Peck family business has acquired 30 top quality mares, and have purchased part in ownership some valuable stallions. The mares are kept on their farm in Lehi, while the stallions are kept at Viking Ranch near Montpeiler, towards inthe horses speed, so a high speed index can be obained. Training starts when the horses are only 18 months old and racing begins at two years. This gives Thompson only six months to train the new horses for creasing Idaho. they have ownership in are worth over one million dollars. Some quarter horse stallions in the U.S. have sold for as much as 30 million dollars. Tony's wife, Janice, explains that besides the pedigree of a horse, its own qualifications such as conformation speed is directed Some of the top stallions and efforts training racing. Thompson travels around the west and southwest to give the horses adequate exposure, experience and hopefully, a higher speed index. In the winter and early spring, most of the training is done in the Peck's spacious new horse barn, located in Lehi. This beautiful new barn is one of the largest training facilities in greatly determine the value of the horse. Speed is one of the most important qualifications of a horse. It becomes necessary to race the horse to determine its speed. Janice clarifies that the racing is not a gambling pursuit but rather a valuable and necessary opportunity to determine a horse's value. Horses are rated according to their speed and given a speed index. A fast speed is rated triple A and top triple A. Triple A and top triple A horses are not only fast but also very valuable for racing and breeding. Tony says some of the greatest rewards come from the challenge of improving the breed. He enjoys Utah. The measures football barn the size of field, and ac- cording to the Pecks, will be a great asset for the training program. The Pecks have a few horses that have reached the racing stage and they say it is exciting for them to see their horses compete. So far this year they have produced some winners. This year their mares gave foal to about 15 young. That means business is growing and in two years when those 15 reach racing and selling age, the Pecks feel that will be very busy with their new family occupation. Raising horses for the Peck Family is only a part time job, but they feel it is what they need, and enjoy. Tony feels raising horses is the peaceful break he needs from his other business interests in trucking and mining. It gives Tony's children some work and responsibility. Tony also says it will be a retirement good program. According to Tony, one mare can bring in as much as a good janitorial job, plus he enjoys the work. Evans Promoted At First Security Morgan J.
