CONOVER MRS. GRACE BERNINI Publisher Editor 1 Hassle-fre- e holiday shopping Now that Christmas shopping is in it is a good time for holiday shoppers to know their basic rights as consumers. To help make your holiday shopping as hassle free as possible, hill-swin- g, the Department of Commerce offers a few answers to some frequently asked consumer questions. Is a store required to have an advertised item available when I get there? Each of the advertiser's stores within the area of an ad must have sufficient products available at or below advertised prices to meet a reasonably expected demand, unless the ad discloses a limit on the quantity of a particular item. The supply should last each day of the sale. Merchants may be allowed some leeway if they can show that the advertised item became unavailable to an unusually heavy demand they could not have reasonable anticipated. Does a store have to give me a rain check? Utah Law requires a merchant to give you a rain check if the advertised item is not available when you arrive at the store. The rain check will allow you to purchase the same item at a later date for the advertised price. However, if the merchant indicates in the ad that "quantities are limited" or the merchandise is only available at a specific outlet, the merchant may not be required to issue a rain check. Can a store limit the quantity of advertised goods it will sell to one customer? Stores can limit quantities, but that limit must be clearly indicated in the advertisement or otherwise clearly posted in the store. Does the picture in an advertisement have to look like the real thing? The basic rule is: if the item being sold is not the item pictured in the ad, the ad is misleading. Can a store advertise an item it doesnt intend sell? This tactic is commonly known as "bait and switch and it is against the law. For example, you are lured into a store by an enticing ad, but the item advertised falls far short of its description, or the item is altogether unavailable. The salesperson may tell you the product isnt any good, or they are out of stock, therefore heshe won't sell it to you. The salesperson then attempts to "switch" you to a more expensive item. If the store is out of an item you want to buy, ask for a rain check. Don't feel pressured or obligated to purchase another item if you did not intend to. Generally, there is nothing illegal or unethical about a salesperson showing you a better quality item as long as you are given a choice of which item to buy. Some people prefer to avoid the crowds during the holidays and choose to shop by mail or Whether you are telephone. ordering by mail or phone, keep the following tips in mind: keep a copy of the advertisement or catalogue. Keep a record of who you did business with: include company name, address and phone number. When ordering, list the items by their catalogue number. List the price of each item as well as the total cost. Be sure to keep a copy of this for yourself. Always keep a record of when you placed the order and the promised date of delivery. at work Stress If t youve got to get a handle on Experts suggest the foltips to help you get your week at work: 1) youre stressed-ou- clearly things. lowing through Set Priorities. Write your days tasks, in order of importance, on a series of sticky notes. .When you complete a task, peel off the note and crumple it up for a feeling of accomplishment. 2) To make Mondays easier, take the last hour of every Friday to straighten up your office. Save a couple of your more pleasurable tasks for Monday. 3) Plan a way to avoid interruptions. Set aside a time each day when you can work without distraction. 4) Be ruthless about clutter. Separate papers into four categories: "Deal with immediately," "File," "Pass along" and "Throw out." Dont cling to papers that you fear you may someday have a use for. Grant Watson White, 93, passed away Saturday, December 11, 1993, at his home in Provo where he and his wife have been cared for since he suffered a paralyzing stroke nine years ago. He was born November 25, 1900 in Eureka, UT, to John Watson White and Sarah Ann Burraston White. His childhood years were spent in Goshen where he received his education. The family later moved to Spanish Fork which was his home until he retired. Grant married Elsie May Swenson in the Salt Lake LDS Temple on October 27, 1926. As a young man, he worked in the Tintic mines. Later he moved to Spanish Fork where he was the sexton for the Spanish Fork City Cemetery and began to build his own farming and ranching operation. He, three brothers and families moved to Green River, WY where for ten years they owned and operated a grocery store and meat market. Upon returning to Spanish Fork he resumed his farming and cattle business. In 1950, he was appointed Spanish Fork City Chief of Police, a position he held for 14 years. Following his retirement, he and his wife moved to Provo. His hobbies included gardening, creative writing and horseback riding. He was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints, holding the office of High Priest. He and his wife did extensive temple work at the Provo and Manti Temples.

Flu epidemic hits hard in Central Utah counties knew it (the flu epidemic) was coming, and it appears to be here, Dr. Joseph K. Miner, direcHealth Detor of the partment in Provo, said this week. Most of the cases are Type A Influenza, he said, and the virus seems to be affecting young adults more than younger people.

Miner indicated that there have been a great many flu-licases around the county bad colds with respiratory problems or even such We City-Coun- ty against two types of Influenza A, and one type of Influenza B. Miner said the flu epidemic usually lasts for a month or two, and it takes a couple of weeks for the vaccine to provide immunity, so it will still be beneficial to receive the immunizations. This is particularly true for high-ris- k individuals. Flu vaccine is available at the Eureka Medical Center, 433-690Miner also said that two antibiotics for viruses are now available and are good for Influenza A. They are Amantadine and Flumadine. 5. Banks closed December 31 ke complications as sinusitis, bronchitis and pneumonia. However, when a culture is taken, they do not show presence of influenza, he said. We treat the complications from the flu infection, he said. You can suspect influenza if you have a more serious illness with higher fever 101 to 103 degrees for several days. Miner said absenteeism is up in the schools, with more than 10 percent but less than 20 percent of the students out. The epidemic, he said, seems to be affecting the teachers more than the students, with a higher percentage of teachers absent from the classrooms. Jordan School District principals and counselors stepped in to teach students Monday because 227 teachers called in sick. The district placed 184 substitute teachers in classrooms, but 43 teaching slots could not be filled by substitutes. The substitute list was depleted because many substitute teachers themselves were home ill with the flu. On an average day, only about 100 teachers call in sick.

State law requires all depository institutions banks , banks, savings industrial loan corporations and credit unions, to be closed to the public on state holidays. State law provides that when a holiday falls on a Saturday, as New Years Day 1994 does, the preceding Friday is the state holiday, thus Friday, December 31, 1993 is a state holiday on which depository institution will be closed. The Department and the financial institutions are concerned that this information is not generally known by the public or businesses. Normally, December 31 , as the last business day of the year, is one of the busiest for financial institutions. This day is transimportant for all year-en- d actions and transactions that must be completed in 1993. People and businesses expecting to conduct business with financial institutions on the last day of the year will find their financial institutions closed.
