Betti* Business Bureau Robert E. Hitchcock,Manag ing Director of The Better Busi ness Bureau, Inc. , warned local residents to be on guard against the perennial driveway sealing racket. Mr. Hitchcock stated that according to the Better Business Bureau, the migratory operates who work this racket usually pose as local concerns. In a typical operation, Mr. Hitchcock reported, a solicitor in jeans or other work clothes,rings the doorbell and explains that he just finished a driveway, or a highway, job in the area and since he has enough mat e r ial left over in his truck for " just one more job," he is in a position to offer a real bargain. He may state that he is working out of some nearby community so as to imply that he is a lo - cal concern, and may even use removable lettering for his address on his truck to suit the area in which he operates. The schemester "guarantee# a first class job, enduring, that will dry in a couple of horns, Mr. Hitchcock added, but gives no specifications. As a clinches he may promise a bonus if the prospect recommends him to any of his neighbors and he the job. His technique is to Church News Members of the Double Is land Baptist Church of Green Mountain, N.C. visited Chris tus Gardens in Gatlinburg,Tenn recently during a class outing which took them through the Great Smoky Mountains.

According to complaints made to Better Business Bureau, victims of these schemesters soon learn that the diluted, materials used on their driveways do not dry as pro - mised, but remain a goo ey mess for days, or until resur faced by a legitimate firm in a proper manner. Some ot the materials used are not only un suited for driveway sealing,but have a destructive effect on driveway surfaces. "Too latq" Mr. Hitchcock stated, "the bargain loving victim realizes that the cut price paid was not only unsatisfactory, but was much higher than the price charged by local firms ior a satisfactory job. The 'guaran tee* given proves as worthless as the work done, since the promoter moves on rapidly to whereabouts unknown." Mr. Hitchcock stated that homeowners can avoid victim - ization from driveway repair racketeers bys 1. planning their servicing needs in advance; 2. dealing with firms of known reliability. If in doubt, they should make inquiry of the Better Bus iness Bureau.
