You wouldn't know it to talk to her and you probabh wouldn't
believe rue after you did. but Anna Shore never learned to read very well.
" Her perfect grammar, without any accent, would make you believe that
? she has received college training and probably grew up somewhere out
side of the south. But she didn't c
Thc oldest of four children. Shore grew up on a farm in Lew iss ille.
She attended a segregated, one-room school house that was held in a
local church, but where she says that she didn't learn very much. In fact,
by the time she was in her late teens, she was still in the 7th grade and
was too embaiVassed by her age to go on to Carver High School.
Over 50 years later. Shore is back in school at Forsyth Tech. Two
years ago. after losing her husband and mother a few months apart, she
decided that it was time to go back. "I could have gone back and taken
painting or some craft, but I wanted to learn to read better and especiall>
improve my spelling," said Shore.
"Many of my friends were very surpmed when I told them 1 did not
have much education and was going back to school." remembered Shore.
One of the reasons that she had fooled so many people for so long is that
her aunt and mother were both teachers and were always making sure
, thai she used correct grammar.
"_V~Her lack of education hurt her both as amflther and in rhe job mar-?
ket. wh^je she was able to hold domestic or basic laborer type jobs. "I
wofcld TiSve loved to have been a nurse. Also it hurt that I. couldn't help
mv children with their schoQLw'ork and couldn't read to them much."
said Shore. Due to the extended family. Shore says, that her children did
very w ell in school and now hold good jobs. - - -
Shore has started to reach two of her goals which are to be able to
read her Bible and the newspaper better. "I would love to finish high
school aKo. but 1 think that is a long way off." said Shore.
Shore spends four mornings a week at Forsyth Tech's West Campus,
part of the time in a classroom and pan in a computer lab. Last October
after two months experience with a computer, she spoke at the computer
lab's official dedication ceremony in front of business and school repre
sentatives. There she told how the computer lab helped improve her skills
while making learning fun.

Beware Of House RepairRip-Off
It seems very strange that in
spite of all the radio and television
and newspaper warnings, thousands
of people in America each year lose
their homes and spend their lifetime
savings paying for mistakes they
made in choosing fraudulent home
repairmen. People seem bent on
allowing perfect strangers to come
into their homes and talk them into
putting on new roofs, building new
driveways, building new brick walls
and doing other fraudulent repairs.
The homeowners wake up to find
that the deadbeats have taken their
money and given them a 10 cents
job, or taken their money and
skipped town and done no work at
all.
In a recent Associated Press
release, it was reported that much of
40 billion dollars spent each year on
honu: improvements goes for
unnecdcd, defective or exorbitantly
priced products.
The Consumer Federation of
America said in tfie study done for
the Department of Housing and
Urban Development that:
Home repair*; are second to
automobiles as the largest source of
consumer complaints. In dollar
terms, home improvement frauds
are far more costly today. They typ
ically involve more than SI. 000,
and at times, tens of thousands of
dollars.
The consumer group said such
problems received little attention
and called for a federal investiga
tion to find out precisely how much
is now being lost through improve
ment fraud. The Consumer Federal
of America said the problem seems

to be growing wojse and worse.
If you have an elderly relative
living alone, be sure that you warn
him or her not to talk to strangers
about doi?g_ repairs on the home,
unless some other member of the
hear well, the man might go
through the motions of performing
such an operation, for which he
charges hundreds or thousands of
dollars. Naturally, you cannot see
what is pumped beneath the ground

family is present.
Some elderly people have paid
people hundreds of dollars to do
jobs that could have been done
cheaper with a reputable company.
These are some other practices
discussed in the recent study:
? In the state of California, lien
sales contracts are a great problem.
Fraudulent contractors write into
sales contracts a fine-print provision
for a lien on the house it payments
are missed. The holder of the lien
can foreclose on the property.
? In other instances, basement
waterproofing by soil injection has
become a problem. This involves
pumping clay or a chemical into the
ground under pressure in the pre
tense of sealing the walls against
water leakage. A person will show
up pretending to have the equip
ment for this operation. He might
be in a closed-in truck, which the
homeowner thinks contains a lot of
equipment. For the elderly, who
cannot see well and often cannnt
and must take his word for it. The
next big rain usually tells the story,
but the man has left town, leaving
no name and no forwarding
address.In having repairs done on
^your home, be sure to choose a reli
able company with an office in this
area. Beware of strancers!
