Volume Eighty-Nin- EUREKA, UTAH - July 29, 1994 e Price $.40 Grand Marshals chosen The Grand Marshals for the 1994 Tintic Silver Festival parade have been chosen. Honoring us with participation in the parade will be Lynn & Pat Brady. The Bradys both grew up in Eureka, married in June of 1950, and raised their two daughters here. Janet Fitzpatrick now lives in Santa Marquarita, CA, and Pam Fife in Orem. Four now grandchildren enjoy coming to Eureka to visit grandpa & grandma. Pat enjoys involvement with civic organizations such as the Eastern Star, L.O.E, and Senior Citizens. Lynn is active in Elks. Masons, Shrine, Senior Citizens, and the Fire Department. He notes that while serving as Fire Chief, Eureka s first ambulance was acquired. A far cry from the one now available, it took the cooperation effort of fine men & wives to outfit the ambulance. Lynn also had the distinction of serving as Grand Master of the Masonic Lodge in 1989. Both Pat & Lynn have been a real asset to our community and the E.I.C. are proud to have them represent our town as Grand Marshals in 1994. Editors note.. The Officials of the Utah Department of Commerce, Division of Consumer Protection are warning that local consumers could be charged for some 800 number phone calls. This warning comes after Division staff were notified by a Logan resident about a local newspaper advertisement offering postal and government jobs at $23.00 per hour. According to the Division, after applicants called the 800 number, they were connected to a recording explaining the application procedure for the advertised positions. The problem came later after callers received their next phone bill. This particular 800 number call is relayed through a long distance phone service named FEDERAL TRANSTEL, INC. and has a $29.95 charge attached to it. When confronted about the legitimacy of this advertisement, a supervisor at Federal Transtel, Inc. allegedly confirmed their knowledge of the fee but claimed the information provided by this company was "worth it." Finally, however, the company volunteered to credit this Logan residents account and to block any further calls from his number. This particular type of problem results from the general assumption that all 800 numbers arc toll free. Unfortunately, this is not the case.

"Check with your local telephone company to see if the number you are calling has an attached fee. If they cant tell you, then dont make the call," she said. Ms. Giani also suggests contacting local companies similar to the type of business you are attempting to call. They may be able to tell you if the business is familiar to them and if what they are offering sounds legitimate.

Consumers should also be aware that some 800 numbers can transfer into 900 numbers for which you will be charged. For such calls, an FCC regulation requires companies making this tranfer to tell the caller it is occurring, thus giving them the opportunity to hang up before they are charged. "Consumers need to pay close attention for this notice," Ms. Giani said. "It is often brief and garbled so that you do not realize the transfer has been made." Consumers can also request a block be placed on their telecalls phone to stop from being made, Giani added. This can be done through your local telephone company.
