43rd New York, N.Y., 10017. By LOUISE COOK Associated Press Writer Shopping by mail can save time and energy during the pre-Christmas crush, but late deliveries or mixed-up merchandise can turn holiday happiness into horror. The Federal Trade Commission has a Mail Order Merchandise Rule to protect consumers. But the rule can't be enforced properly unless individuals know and demand their rights. The FTC says January and February bring the year's biggest volume of mail-order complaints.

And it says most of the letter writers are unaware that marketers have specific responsibilities in terms of when they must ship orders and what they must do if they can't meet the deadline. It also is important to understand that the regulations don't cover everything that is shipped by mail. The rules do not apply to photo-finishing, to magazine subscriptions except for the first issue, to COD orders, to seeds and plants and to credit orders where your account is not charged before the goods are shipped. Consumers should keep careful track of when they place their orders. That's because companies which ARE covered by the mail-order rule must ship your order by the date promised.

If no date is given, the merchandise must be sent out within 30 days after your order is received. If there is a delay in shipment, the seller must mail you what's called an "option notice," telling you what's happened and giving a new shipping date.

N.M. (AP) As jeans-clad secretaries sorted files and packed boxes, the only incumbent Republican senator to lose in the Nov. 2 election sat behind his desk fielding telephone calls and pondering his future. "I'm disappointed as I think anybody would be," said the 47-year-old Harrison Schmitt, the victim of a bitter political fight and an ailing economy. "I tried very hard to match my activities to the issues New Mexicans felt were important.

I guess I didn't do that." While professing no bitter-ness, Schmitt feels he didn't get a fair shake in his race with state Attorney General Jeff Bingaman, 39, a soft-spoken Democrat who will take office in January. Schmitt, a former astronaut who flew to the moon aboard Apollo 17, said bias on the part of the news media turned the tide in the campaign, especially where the candidates' hard-hitting advertisements were concerned. "I think we underestimated the degree that the media wouldn't look at it objectively," he said. Statewide polls done by private researchers indicate Schmitt lost ground rapidly in the two weeks before the election when a dispute developed over the accuracy of the ads. Bingaman ran a series of television and radio commercials critical of Schmitt's erage and was seen as the turning point in what had been a formal, issue-oriented campaign.

Schmitt, however, refused to back off the advertisements. "I still believe that," Schmitt said recently of his ads' contentions. "It is the attorney general's job to be the chief law enforcement official in the state, not to hide behind technicalities to neglect doing his duty." But, he said, the news media believed Bingaman's contention that he was ordered to investigate the prison riot, not prosecute it. "The media all had been deeply involved with the prison riot and felt they knew all about it," he said. "It was more difficult than usual for me to get an objective reading." Schmitt said that, looking back, the controversy over the ads hurt his campaign, but didn't cost him the election.

"These things built on a situation that was already very difficult for Republicans, he said. "The voter turnout and the general economic situation were the big things." New Mexico has an unemployment rate of about 10 percent, but in some counties, particularly- in copper mining areas, the jobless rate is nearly 40 percent. Schmitt said the record turnout, which also produced a new Democratic governor, Toney Anaya, caught the state's Re- Harrison Schmitt Schmitt said the commercials distorted his positions and countered with ads criticizing Bingaman's actions as attorney general. In one, he said Bingaman shirked his duty by not prosecuting inmates involved in a 1980 state prison riot that left 33 prisoners dead. Another claimed Bingaman had urged Gov.

Bruce King to pardon an inmate who had been on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted List. Bingaman called the ads "lies" and many state officials jumped to his defense.

The Chido property dig also yielded chert and taconite from the Gunflint formation on the Ontario-Mirfnesota border. Penman said that indicated hat the people who left the artifacts were either travelers, traders, or both.

"There was a very sophisticated trade system, but not nessarily face-to-facc" between producers and consumers, he said. Much of the material recovered has been traced to the Middle Woodland Period, which stretched from 200 B.C. to 600 A.D., Penman said. Among the finds were shards of pottery with a toothlike, St. Croix imprint.

Penman said the marking on the pottery, dating back to the latter half of the Middle Woodland years, was probably made with a tool, possibly a stick or bone. "It's purely decorative, the same as we decorate our Corn-ingware," hesaid.

(AP)-The State Historical Society has unearthed artifacts near here which could not only tell archeologists about Wisconsin's former inhabitants but also alter the course of a federal highway. In September, the historical society sent a crew to Washburn County to dig on land owned by Lawrence Chido just east of Spooner along the Yellow River. Archeologist John Penman and his staff found pottery shards, projectile points and stone flakes on the site which is directly in the path of proposed improvements for U.S. 53. Before Penman began his tests, public hearings were held on the proposed widening of U.S.

53 from Haugen in Barron County to Trego in Washburn County. The original proposal called for the highway, a major tourism and commerce artery, to pass close by Spooner. But after the hstorical society's discoveries, Donald Jorgensen, district director of the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, recommended that the highway pass farther east of Spooner. Transportation officials expect a decision on the course of U.S. 53 to be made in 1983.

For now, however, historians and archeologists are trying to learn the lifestyle of the people who used the items Penman's crew Uncased gun Health News. Back, Leg Pains Will Get Worse Before Better BY DR. R. J. ZIOLKOWSKI Doctor ol Chiropractic SUNDAY MONDAY.

What Is being done to correct this problem? Our research Indicates that most low back pain and associated leg pains are caused by truly mechanical defects In the alignment of one or more segments of the lower spine.

These spinal segments may be displaced by fall, accident or back strain. Another frequent eeuse Is chronic posture decay. h's reasonably simple. When spinal segment Is displaced, the supporting muscles and ligaments may be stretched or torn causing acute and disabling back pain. When segment Is displaced beyond critical point It partly closes the nerve openings between the adjacent segments.

The result Is excruciating pain, which needless to say, Is anything but reasonable. The spinal nerves which supply the legs pass through the openings between adjacent segments of the lower spine. You see, when one of the segments Is displaced, the nerves to the legs might be pinched or Irritated. This brings about the nerve pain that extends down the leg.
