Consumers need an independent office
to "watch out for our interests, just as
labor and commerce," she said. "Wc have
been noticeably slow about re-evaluatir.g
our rights as consumers."
"No one escapes from consuming,"
she said. "Everyone who eats or breathes
plays the game. While our opponents, the
producers, make the rules, our team, the
consumers, tries to guess the rales."
She said manufacturers hold ail the
details about their products and the
consumer usually has no information
about the goods he is buying.
"We must reconsider our thinking that
bigger, faster and more is better," she
said.
Changes called for by consumer
advocates will cause new problems, but
"they will be more manageable than the
ones we have now," Miss Fumess said.
She urged citizens to become involved
in consumer protection groups to reach
their goals.
"Complain to the business itself first,"
she said, "but if this does not work, write
the company. "If our money is good
enough to buy their products, then wc
should expect the product to be equally
as good."
