Show Thursday. September 30, 1982 - Page 20 JUNE FULLER THE COUPON CLIPPER Coupons are here to stay . By Jane Fuller Today I read a newspaper ' article headlined "Grocery coupons at peak." It said, in part, "coupons soon may go the way of trading stamps and free drinking glasses. They have proliferated to the point they're losing their punch, so manufacturers have less incentive to use them." The story quotes two Brofessors from Indiana University. I am an avid coupon user and found the article " disturbing. Would you please ; respond and let me know what you think about their prediction. Arlene, : Chesterton, Ind. Dear Arlene: I haven't seen any indication that manufacturers are planning to distribute fewer coupons. For more than 20 years the number of coupons offered to the public has shown steady growth. In 1975, manufacturers distributed 35 billion coupons. In 1981, this figure topped 100 billion. I feel confident in predicting that the record will again be broken with more than 115 billion coupons put into circulation this year. When I received your letter, I got out my file on "coupon predictions" and found a news release dated Sept. 25, 1981 from a professor profes-sor at Syracuse University. It had a big headline: ''Fewer ''Few-er Manufacturers To Offer Coupons?" This prediction turned out to have no basis in fact, and I have a distinct ..feeling from reading the article you sent me that there are also a few ivory towers at Indiana University in which very few coupons are ever clipped. Dear June: I was overjoyed over-joyed when the local supermarket super-market offered to double the value of coupons on Thursdays. Thurs-days. I thought I could finally final-ly collect some of the sav- 0h- ''""""""1 ings I have envied others who wrote to you. But my bubble burst when I noticed that the prices of the food in this supermarket were rising faster than elsewhere, else-where, especially on frequently fre-quently couponed items. Just to give you an example, exam-ple, this supermarket raised the price of 2-pound Velvee-ta Velvee-ta from $3.19 to $3.69 as soon as a 45 cent Velveeta coupon appeared. Elsewhere in our area the price was still $3.19 and I didn't need my coupon to be doubled in order to get a lower price. Shoppers really have to be watchful when double coupons come their way. Feeling Cheated in Woodbury! Wood-bury! Dear Feeling Cheated: Smart shoppers know that "double coupons" is a very costly promotion for the supermarket. Any store that offers double coupons must soon raise some of its prices to pay for it. The secret is to know your prices so you can take advantage of the double coupons and avoid purchasing purchas-ing the items which are no longer competitively priced.

UTC Craft Center open to students faculty and public Cheer Hansen learns latest hairstyles The as-symmetrical look is the latest thing in women's hair-styling, according to Cheer Hansen, a recent graduate of the Vidal Sassoon Academy in Los Angeles, Calif. Cheer, a daughter of Wendell and LaVon Hansen, also attended Mary Kawakami and Hollywood Beauty Schools. Another specialty Cheer learned in her studies at Vidal Sassoon was perfecting hair tailoring styles complimentary to each Individual face. A popular new fashion in women's hair styling is the W-neckline and the flat crown, which, according to Cheer, "May not be flattering to all but is a big suggess with younger women." Children's hair styling is Cheer's favorite pursuit although she is accomplished in cutting and giving permanents to women of all ages. She enjoys styling her grandmother Ruth Hansen's and Aunt Mary Pulley's hair. Sh is the favorite stylist for her 28 nieces who have enjoyed their aunt's hair-cutting prowess. Cheer has participated par-ticipated and won hair-styling hair-styling awards in many competitions while at college. A graduate of American Fork High School, Cheer was president of the Pep Club, homecoming queen and served as Days of '47 Queen in 1979.

For example, property taxes paid at the settlement are deductible. Usually, these taxes are pro-rated between the buyer and seller so that each pays his respective share. In some localities where the property taxes are paid during the following calendar year, the buyer's deduction is taking during the year the taxes are ACTUALLY PAID. The other settlement expenses generally are not deductible, however, most of them can be added to the cost of the real estate when reduce the profit subject to income tax. Among these are: lawyer's fees, property surveys, title search and title insurance, transfer taxes and "points." It should be noted that, what the IRS calls "basis" is quite important to establish. It is the purchase price of the real estate which includes your down payment, mortgages, and those non-deductible settlement costs. The basis determines what your profit or loss will be when you sell. If than is anything cm do to blip yoi la thi fiild of rial tstati, plttu phono or drop la at ERA-MOUNTAIN USD REALTY, 590 W.

Her disability payments pay-ments would start with the 6th full month of her disability - there's a 5-month waiting period - and would continue as long as she is disabled. If she receives disability payments pay-ments for 24 months, she also will have Medicare protection. Her unmarried children chil-dren can get benefits, too, when she's disabled. dis-abled. Monthly checks are payable to children under 18, children who become disabled before 22 and remain disabled and children under 19 who are attending elementary ele-mentary or secondary school full time.
