Jacob said he i&mnimpressed by the "sudden flurry" of civil rights actions by the Reagan administration.

Civil Rights Records new nominees 44don't worship at the altar of forced busing and mandatory quotas." If the Senate confirms Reagan's nominees, he will have replaced five of the six members of the commission, - which monitors the impact of federal laws and policies on discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age or handicap.

Consumer A wareness Once you sign a contract or make a purchase, you may have to pay for defective merchandise. ' Avoid "unclaimed" or "repossessed'* merchandise unless you know the dealer. Beware of "puzzle contests." They are often lures to get you to buy or sell an overpriced item. If you should win a prize, it should never cost you money to collect. Watch "selling-out" sales carefully. Some stores have fake sales to get you to buy low-quality or damaged merchandise. Be alfrt to frequent "private-party sales." Such ads are often run by residential dealers who actually sell shoddy merchandise for a high price.

K.... <M<wi?tvu wiui me UUUI anu (19 HHB mcnt can be indescribable. If you read this cctivmnf* regularly, you know many ways to prevent burns. But. here's what to do if, despite your best efforts, you or a loved one are burned: There are three degrees of burns. Each degree has specific symptoms and recommended treatment. First-degree burns are minor burns produced by light contact with hot objects, scalding by hot water or steam and mild sunburn. No medical treatment is required for a first-degree burn. Run cold water over the burn for several minutes. This not only relieves pain, but removes residual heat which could further damage body tissues. If desired, a dry dressing may be applied. It won't heal the burn any faster but it will keep objects from brushing against the very sensitive skin surface. Second-degree burns are more serious. Associated with deep sunburn, contact with hot liquids and brief exposure WTiVi if * FAF 1 JLm< I 31?

Caused by flame, electricity, contact with very hot objects or hotiiquid immersion, the third-degree burn involves total destruction of skin tissue. At first, some third-degree burns resemble i J sccona-acgrec Durns, excpet that little pain is experienced (because nerve endings have been destroyed.) More often, a third-degree burn will appear white or charred. You cannot treat a third-degree burn. Call for medical assistance. Cover the burned area with a clean or steril cloth and elevate the burned area. If there is extensive fluid loss, you may wrap a burned extremity in a fresh * plastic bag (but not if the burn involves the face or head.) Do not attempt to remove clothing or foreign objects which are stuck to the burn. Third-degree burn victims must be hospitalized as son as possible. Please see page AS Hl'HIVI WITH ? ? .OWER PRICES!
