What Most Appliance Warranties
Cover and What They Don’t
' y-'' :• /
£ T W6OR ? - 1
T W >I y c CIQ'M?
VISCUSS THE W/\RR/VJTY BEFORE YOU BUY
"Don’t worry about a thifig,
ma’am. It’s guaranteed!”
Great, you think —no worries.
I’ll buy it. After all, if anything
goes wrong, it's guaranteed.
But guaranteed for. what'?
Parts and tabor? What parts
and for how long?
The warranty conditions
should be one of the most im
portant factors in your decision
to buy a certain brand of appli
ance. Don’t be misled by such
claims as a "lifetime” guarantee.
Talk over conditions with the
salesman and read the fine print.
Leslie Paige of the Whirlpool
Corporation suggests you ask
these questions:
1. What parts are covered and
for how long?
2. Is labor covered’? For fit)w
long?
3. Who stands behind the war
ranty the manufacturer or the
dealer? If a dealer goes out of
business, be sure you aren't
without a warranty.
4. Is the warranty in effect if
you move?
5. Doyou need to mail a regis
tration card (some have a dead
line for mailing) or save your
sales receipt?
6. Must you mail a defective
part somewhere to get warranty
coverage? If yes, who pays for
the charge of removing, replac
ing and mailing defective part?

the Judy Garland Memorial .
Overlook where you can en
joy a spectacular view of the
entire Elk Valley. The Land
of Oz Museum, which stores
" v
much of the original clothirg
and other props from the mo o
vie; including the gingham
dress Judy Garland wore, will
also be open for touring.
Until June 10, there is no
admission charge. A bus will
leave Beech Tree Village for
Oz at 10:00 a. m., noon, 2:00
p. m. and 4:00 p. m. Saturdays
and, Sundays only.
7. M-ust an authorized agent
do the work? If yes, what is his
address and phone number?
There are certain conditions
under which the warranty does
not apply. These, of course, dif
fer from brand to brand, but
some are standard.
Warranties usually do not
cover damage due to acts of
abuse. If your three-year-old
breaks the dryer door hinge by
swinging on it, don’t expect the
warranty to p'hy for the damage.
The appliance must also be
used according to directions in
the owner's manual. If you turn
a timer dial in the wrong direc
tion and break a spring, the war
ranty probably won’t cover it.
The warranty may not pay for
malfunctioning due to inad
equate house wiling or plumb
ing or failure to follow installa
tions instructions.
Also, most warranties don’t
cover damage due to "acts of
God," such as damage by floods.
Your Household insurance may
cover that, though. v '
If the warranty doesn't seem
worthwhile on a particular ap
pliance, then shop around and
compare. After all, good service
and product reliability are crit
ical to your satisfaction. And,
if and when something goes
wrong, you'll want coverage.
Spring in North Carolina is when bare limbs and broom
straw give way to pastel pinks and greensand the wil d.
turkey gobbler struts proudly as though he had made it all
happen.
This year, the spring turkey season opens April 22 and
lasts through May 13 statewide. During that period you can
shoot one gobbler (male turkey) a day, or up to two for the
season. No dogs are allowed for hunting turkeys.
The regulation doesn't actually say it's a gobblers - only
season. •It says you can shoot only bearded turkeys. That's
to take care of any weird hen turkey who might decide to
grow a beard in the name of women's lib or something.
After all, if some hunter shoots a turkey with a beard, and
later finds out it was actually a confused female, he ought
not to have to pay a fine.
This is the first year there hasn't been a winter gobbler
season in North Carolina. Several years ago, tire N.C.
Wildlife Resources Commission began to phase out tradition
al winter turkey hunting and substitute spring hunts instead.
It's all part of a long-range program to improve turkey
hunting in the state. Wildlife Biologists have known for
some time that spring hunts for gobblers offer better protec
tion far breeding stocks. They know also that spring hunts
encourage populations of wild turkeys to spread.
The reason is that in the spring, hunters "call" turkeys
during the early part of the mating season. Only the gob
blers, or males, respond to the calls, and therefore hen tur
keys are not often shot. ~On hand, during winter
hunts, many hen turkeys are killed, despite the fact that it
is illegal to shoot them.
Many hunters have not seen enough turkeys to make a
quick decision on whether the turkey is a gobbler or hen
durirg the winter. Also, some can't resist such a tempting
target. They shoot first, then see whether it’s a hen or gob
bler later. , *
Spring hunts remove much of this -threat because the hur»-*=>
ter rarely sees anything but gobblers. Also, since one gob
bler can have lots of "wives, " some of them cah be shot
without hurting the future populations. On the other hand,
if you shoot hens, yoiir e running the risk of depleting
the breeding stock. Gobblers might argue that this is dis
crimination, but that's the way it is.
Spring "gobblers- only" seasons are now common in many
southern states, and they are credited with restoring wild
turkeys to areas devoid of these fine gamebirds for years.
With the restocking program and the spring season,hopes
arc high that the wild turkey will again return in huntablc
numbers to his old haunts.
As part of the turkey restoration program the Wildlife
Commission is compiling harvest information. Hunters are
urged to help by reporting their kills to the Commission by
calling 800-662-7366. The call may be placed toll free
from anywhere in the state.

Your draperies will do more
for your home if you treat
them like members of the fam
ily. Follow these seven simple
rules to help them retain their
fresh appearance longer:
1. When you wash windows,
tie draperies back—out of the
way of splashes. Who needs big
dry cleaning bills these days!
2. Os course, you’ll never
have to cart draperies to the
dry cleaner—if they’re woven
of Owens-Coming Fiberglas
yarn. Just remove pins. Then
hand wash them by dipping ip
warm water. (Never in the
washing machine.) Use any
mild soap 'or detergent. Rinse
thoroughly in clean, warm
water. If your draperies are too
big to hand wash, ask your
laundry to "wet wash” them.
Don't worry. Fiberglas dra
peries don’t shrink. A set takes
maybe fifteen minutes, if you
aren’t rushing.
3. Place the draperies over a
khower-irScP'or padded clothes
line until damp dry' Then ’hafid 1
press Fiberglas draperies right
on the window. Smooth hems
and let draperies dry naturally.
They dry to a beautiful shape
without ironing.
4. Pul a radiator cover or
deflector on radiators under
your windows. Helps keep dirt
off your draperies.
5. Watch out for draperies
that cifn’t take a little sun.
Some -fade after only a few
months on a sunny window.
But Fiberglas resists sun fading
and streaking. You may turn
colors this weekend. Fiberglas
won’t.
6. About once a week, clean
your draperies with a drapery/
upholstery attachment (in
_ most vacuum cleaner tool sets).
Even when they don’t seem
dusty. Your draperies will look
better, wear longer.
7. Buy Fiberglas draperies—
und cross a slew of house
keeping jobs off your list.
Fiberglas draperies, a good
friend of young married*,
won’t rot, or mildew. Won’t
stretch or sag, no matlter how
many times you wash them.
Never need ironing. Not even
“touch ups”. Plus they’re fire
safe (nice to know if you're
hanging them in a child's
