Luci Nugent
To Head Heart
Campaign
Luci Johnson Nugent of
Austin h s accented the Chair
manship of the 1973-74 Heart
Campaign for the State of
Texas. This marks the second
consecutive year in which Mrs.
Nugent will serve in this
capacity.
As Chairman, Mrs. Nugent,
daughter of the 36th Piesident
of the United States, will be
traveling to various parts of the
slate, visiting and mapping
Campaign plans with local
American Heart Association
volunteers. The high point of
the Campaign occurs during
February which has been
declared Heart Month by an act
of Congress.
In accepting the Chairman-
ship, Mrs. Nugent stated that
she will be relying heavily on
local Campaign Chairmen in
helping the American Heart
Association reach its goal of
$2,000,000 in Texas. "Heart
attack, stroke and related
cardiovascular diseases account
for more deaths than all other
causes combined," continued
Mrs. Nugent. "There is hardly a
person in this great State of
ours who has not lost a friend or
loved one to heart disease, and
I am no exception. The Heart
Fund is the responsibility of
everyone in every community
across the State. Our goal in
1973-74 is to conduct 176
Campaigns and to enlist a total
of 100,000 volunteers. It is a
challenge, but it is also an
opportunity to save lives, and
all of us are looking towards full
community participation in the
Campaign."
The announcement of Mrs.
Nugent was made Friday night
in Dallas at the 38th Annual
Assembly of the American
Heart Association, Texas
Affiliate, Inc.
PLAN FOR
FALL COLOR
Prior planning can mean a
brightly colored landscape this
fall, says a landscape horticul
turist for the Texas Agricul-
tural Extension Service. Four
popular plants known for their
fall brilliance are the chrysan-
themum, candle tree, copper
plant and Joseph's coat. Chry-
santhemums need well-drained
soils with ample water and
fertilizer. The other three
plants also prefer rich, moist
soil. Mums should be trans-
planted in June or early July
and terminal buds should be
pinched back through mid-July
to promote side branching and
more blooms.
A good boost when needed is
better than a pull that isn't.
The
Consumer
Alert
by John L. Hill
Attorney General
AUSTIN • Several com
plaints filed recently with the
Attorney General's Consumer
Protection Division indicate
that there are some unscru
pulous schemes to capitalize on
the average person's desire to
travel in the summer time.
The mailed enticements
we've heard about were "con
gratulatory" letters, informing
the complaintants that they had
"won a trip" to a glamour
vacation spot, and all they had
to do to take advantage- of this
opportunity was to pay a $15
reservation fee to secure
accommodations at the other
end of the journey.
In the cases which have been
checked out, there really
wouldn't be anything to "win",
unless the recipient just hap-
pened to be going to the resort
mentioned, because transpor
tation would not be furnished;
gasoline would not be provided;
meals would not be paid for
along the way.
And once the person arrived
Highway Dep't
Flagman Helps
Save Lives
AUSTIN Texans have al-
ways respected flags -- there
have been six of them in the
history of the State. Now there'
is a seventh flag to look for to
save lives and prevent injury
the red warning flag denoting
highway construction and
maintenance.
This summer crews will be on
the job working with heavy
equipment. Drivers should be
ready to obey directions of
flagmen who guide traffic
through and around construe
tion obstacles.
Being a flagman is considered
the hardest job on some crews
because it is both tiring and
dangerous. Motorists can make
this job easier by slowing down
when they first see the flagman
and then by obeying his signals.
The flagman generally uses the
flag and hand signals to stop,
slow or alert traffic, and
generally uses hand signals
only to instruct it to proceed.
In addition to the flagmen,
Highway Department signs will
be posted at the approaches to
all construction sites warning
motorists to slow down, to
avoid passing, and to be ready
for restricted land traffic or
possible detours.

at his destination, he could not
even Le sure of getting a "free"
room, because if he read all the
way down in the congratulatory
letter, he would notice the
warning that an additional
charge would be assessed if it
were "peak season".
A similar promotion was
halted three years ago by a
Federal Trade Commission
cease-and desist order. And the
attorney general of Ohio very
recently secured a court
injunction against this decep
tive practice, since the operator
was incorporated in that state.
Investigators in our own
Consumer Protection Division
have been advised by U. S.
Postal Service Investigator
Allan Peffer that the Postal
Service is attempting to
recover money lost by con-
sumers who sent in "reser-
vation" fees only to discover
they had no reservation.
And Better Business Bureaus
are trying to warn consumers
against potential disappoint-
ments of this type.
The amazing thing is that the
travel business is extremely
competitive, and hundreds of
valid vacation bargains can be
found through legitimate tour
and travel services, including
those operated by the trans-
portation carriers, major oil
companies and the established
travel clubs.
If you are tempted by some
vacation offer that sounds "too
good to be true," it probably is.
If you're lured by a holiday
excursion which would cost half
as much as rates publicized
elsewhere, find out why. Maybe
it literally would be a one way
trip, and you'd be stuck with
the additional cost of returning
home.
If you're offered a "free"
vacation near some popular
recreational site, find out
exactly how near. It could be as
much as 300 miles away.
If a land development
promotion invites you to enjoy
accommodations without cost
while inspecting the place
advertised, check on the quality
and reputation of the place
you'd be staying.
If you do run into a vacation
fraud which was advertised by
mail, contact the U. S. Postal
Service's Special Investigative
Division in Washington, D. C.
Or, get in touch with the
Attorney General's Consumer
Protection Division office in
Austin, Dallas. Houston, San
Antonio, Lubbock or El Paso.
