Did you return the books or pay the bill? You have to, you know. Recall the time you got up early so you could get to the store in time to purchase an item at a special only to find that they were of the bargain 10 minutes after the store opened? Or how about that nice young college student who came to your door asking for a few minutes of your time to take a survey for a per he was writing didn't leave until he had spent three hours trying to get you to buy a $600 set of books you want or need? Unfortunately, most consumers at one time or another have had their anger aroused by these and similar incidents. The Texas Attorney files are filled with case histories of problems encountered by innocent, although sometimes gullible, consumers. Many of these legitimate gripes could have been avoided if the consumer had been aware of certain laws, or had been aware of the types of fraudulent practices typically used by unethical sales organizations.

An informed consumer can be his own best protection in the market place.

Presentation of certificates will be made by Dr. Jack Tompkins, vice president and general manager of the James Connally Campus.

A reception for graduating students and their families will precede the graduation exercises.

The General has received some 4000 complaints in the last year from Texas citizens who feel that they have been defrauded. Such complaints are processed and, if necessary, legal action is instituted to enforce the consumer protection laws.

The attorney office is not permitted to render legal advice or opinions to individual citizens, nor may this office obtain refunds for individuals who have been defrauded. The Attorney General may, however, obtain an injunction against those firms which violate the Deceptive Trade Practices Act. If the firm continues its deceptive practices, the Attorney General may secure up to $10,000 in penalties for each and every subsequent violation of the injunction. Law enforcement in this area is emphasized by my office because compliance with fair and honest trade practices benefits not only consumers, but the majority of businessmen who want an honest and ethical climate in which to conduct their operations.

Interviewers To Visit Local Families monies at Great Lakes, December 7, 30 years after heroic actions at Pearl Harbor. The new complex has been selected as one of 21 outstanding new buildings in the Chicago area. (OFFICIAL U.S. NAVY PHOTOGRAPH by PHI Dave Garrison). The first black hero of World War II, the late Petty Officer Doris Miller, was honored Tuesday, December 7, when an architect-award winning Bachelor Enlisted Quarters at the Great Lakes Naval Base was dedicated in his memory.

December 7 marks the 30th anniversary of the day that Miller, then a Petty Officer Third Class, performed heroically aboard the battleship USS WEST VIRGINIA at Pearl Harbor and earned the Navy Cross, the highest award for heroism. The Bachelor Enlisted Quarters complex dedicated is the largest enlisted housing facility on the Navy Base. The college dormitory-like quarters is home to nearly 2,000 enlisted men, all students and staff at the Service School Command. The Distinguished Luilding Award for the facility was presented at the 17th Annual Awards Program of the Chicago Chapter, American Institute of Architects, and the Chicago Association of Commerce and Industry. The facility was selected as one of 21 outstanding new buildings in the Chicago area.

One of Miller's close Navy friends during those early days of World War II, Herbert G. Odom, retired after 26 years of service and is currently ployed as a training instructor in the curriculum evaluation and improvement branch, Electronics Technician School, Service School Command, Great Lakes, was the main speaker. Mrs. Henrietta Miller, the mother, journeyed from Texas to be on hand for the dedication. A brother, James, also attended.

While Japanese planes were bombing Pearl Harbor, Miller assisted ui moving his mortally wounded commanding officer to a sheltered spot aboard WEST VIRGINIA, and then proceeded to man a machine gun until ordered to leave the bridge. The late Fleet Admiral (then admiral) Chester W. Ninutz personally presented the Navy Cross to Petty Officer Miller in ceremonies aboard the ENTERPRISE ui May 1942. In 1947 the Doris Miller Foundation was established to perpetuate the Navy name. Since it was organized years ago by the Reverend Elmer L.

Fowler, now Pastor of the Third Baptist Church of Chicago, the award is presented on an annual basis to the mdiv id- ual who seeks better understanding between the races. After Pearl Harbor, Miller was assigned to the cruiser USS IN IAN A POL IS, and after 17 months duty ui that cruiser returned to the United States. A symbol of the courage and capability of Black Navymen, Miller toured Naval mstalla- tions in the country. While visiting at Great Lakes during that tour he addressed the first graduatmg class of a service school command element for Blacks established here early in 1943. In mid-1943, Petty Officer Miller was assigned to the ill- fated escort aircraft carrier USS LISCOMBE BAY which was torpedoed and sunk by an enemy submarine in the Gilbert Islands area of the Pacific on November 24, 1943.

Listed as missing following the loss of that ship, Petty Officer Miller was officially presumed dead on Nov. 25, 1944. Born in Waco, Texas, on Oct. 12, 1919, Miller was a high school football star at Moore High School in Waco, and assisted his late father, Conery Miller, in farming before he entered the Navy. A sample of households in this area will be included in a nationwide survey of employment and unemployment to be conducted the week of Dec ember 12-18 by the Bureau of the Census, U.S.

Department of Commerce. Percy R. Millard, Director of the Data Collection Center in Dallas, in announcing the survey, said that results will be used to calculate the number of persons in the U.S. who have jobs, the number looking for work, and the precent- age unemployed this month, an important measure of the well-being. The survey is conducted monthly by the Bureau for the U.S.

Department of Labor. The December survey will also ask questions about any farm work done for wages or salary in 1971 and will provide up-to-date statistics on the number of persons doing farm work.
