Regardless of the coupons face value, each is redeemed at seven cents and the money is pooled throughout the commissary system. Money saved this way is used to buy new equip-- , ment and modernize stores in need. In order to encourage the use of coupons, Dugway's commissary is sponsoring a coupon mania contest. The contest is open to all shoppers. The same contest was run last year. According to Tom Brothers, DPG commissary director, the military did not actively particiapte. "To improve military participation, we are offering a first and second place in two categories : military and civilian The contest started April 1 and will run until July 1. The household redeeming the high- est number of coupons, regardless of their face value, will win a shopping cart full of food. To keep an accurate count of coupons, the customer and cashier will sign the cash register tapes after each purchase. Dave Engstrom, a cost accountant here won last year's contest and saved $187 in the process. Engstrom said he thinks about coupons in a special way, "If you have a one dollar coupon, you save a straight dollar. When I'm working for my money, I figure I have to make two dollars to even get a dollar after taxes and retire-- . ment are taken out," Engstrom said. To participate in the contest, people don't even have to clip coupons, Brothers said. The coupon center located at the front of the store has many coupons brought in by the vendors. People can really save, according to Brothers. "Especially since everything here is sold at cost. "Using coupons saves everyone money and could be a spe- cial advantage to soldiers," Brothers said. "An average family of four could save $15 a month. That's $180 a year." Brothers also encourages single people to get involved with coupon savings. "Even single soldiers who don't buy many groceries because they're on meal cards can get involved. Coupons for soap, shampoo, shaving cream and toothpaste are located right in the store; why not save money?" Making the coupon center more attractive is One of the commissary's goals now. "So many of our coupons are going unnoticed," Brothers said. Remodeling is still underway at the store. The $200 thousand project is expected to be completed June 1. Modern scanners will be put at the cash register lanes sometime in July. fc.wa.MfiWHMM . 'WyipilMiaHMMlMM ...vlA-.- . LaDean Nordln checks groceries for commissary customer Jane Robson. (U.S. Army photo) VA cautions vets Reoccuring hoax promises dividends r- - 'l Beware of duds These Items and other umecovered shells have and continue to be found In the Dugway area. 1st Lt. Gall L. Ruff In, director of the Emergency Ordnance Disposal unit here warns that potentially dangerous duds do exist. "If found," she said, "note the location and notify the Military Police or Security office." (U. - S. Army photo by Rick Fulton) An insurance hoax offering veterans a special dividend has surfaced recently and should be disregarded according to the Veterans Administration. The hoax surfaces about every two years and has been occurring for at least the last 15, Jerry Gessner of the VA regional office in Salt Lake City said. "i "Someone usually runs an article with good intentions," Gessner explained. "Then the hoax runs its course; we try to squelch it before it gets too far." The hoax usually describes a benefit payable to any veterans of World War II who ever carried GI insurance, no matter how long the insurance was in force. It also describes an application process a VA hews release said. s Director of the Salt Lake City VA stressed that VA insurance for World War II veterans does pay an annual dividend, but the policy must be in force with premiums being paid or waived due to disability. Payments of dividends are done automatically by VA's in- surance centers, without the need for a separate application. Dividends are paid on the anniversary date of the insurance policy, the release stated. Gessner said the application process described in the hoax directs veterans to their Phila- delphia office. It also quotes military officers that don't exist. "We don't know how or why this ever occurs," Gessner said.
