Advertising or Circulation: 455-3636 or 1-800-843-6680 Selecting 1992's Golden Shopping Cart Award winner for Best Manufacturers' Promotion was easier than it has been in years. Two offers clearly stood out among the many that were nominated by my readers. Both offers caught the attention of shoppers, millions of whom were motivated and decided to participate. and Her-shey Chocolate U.S.A. deserve this award.

Each will receive a Golden Shopping Cart Award for their 5-cent wrapper refund offers. The chocolate companies told consumers that they would pay them to help clean up America. And consumers responded. Sharon Baraett of Seymour, wrote, "I wish I could give one perfect rose to both MARS and Hershey for their recent offers. I walk for exercise, and from the first day I heard of these two offers I was able to pick up wrappers.

So I helped both my purse and the environment. I loved it, and from both offers I received a combined Both of these offers were generous in their terms. Consumers had several months in which to collect as many candy wrappers as they could, and there was no maximum. Both offers also made it relatively easy to participate. The fact that neither offer had a register-tape requirement made them much more accessible.

Three other manufacturers' offers deserve honorable mentions. Diana Port of Overland Park, says she and her husband have been wearing the Olympic watches they received from Kodak. "They are so attractive we always receive compliments," she says. "Their value far exceeds what we had expected." The Birds Eye $15 offer deserves to be mentioned. Jerry Robb of Kansas City, had enough time to collect 20 Birds Eye proofs of purchase, and that big check offered a lot of incentive.

"Birds Eye offers such a good selection, so accumulating all the Universal Product Codes (was easy)." Hot, pink and totally cool: The premiums offered by the Energizer Bunny were another example of an outstanding opportunity for smart shoppers to receive wonderful gifts, including sun glasses, wrist watches, baseball caps and T-shirts. Linda Roselle of Chesapeake, sent in her nomination for 1992's fastest response to a mail-in offer. Linda sent for a Butter-ball free turkey offer on Oct. 13 and received her free coupon on Oct. 26.

"It was amazing!" she says. While the Best Consumer Promotion usually benefits many shoppers, the 1992 Golden Shopping Cart Award for Best Manufacturer Customer Relations involved an act that touched just one consumer. Her name is Virginia Matiko, and she lives in Aliquippa, Pa. Late last July, Virginia realized that the offer for the Kraft collectible tin she had wanted would expire at the end of the month. "I ANCIENT TREASURES ASWAN, Egypt (AP) The two temples of Abu Simbel, built beside the Nile River by Pharaoh Ramses II in the 1200s B.C., are among the world's treasured antiquities.

The stone temples include four seated figures of Ramses each 67 feet high, and two of Queen Nefertari, his favorite wife. In the mid-1960s, when the Aswan High Dam was built on the Nile, the site of the temples was due to be flooded by the lake created behind the dam. actually had misplaced the offer and forgot about the six Universal Product Codes that were needed," she says. "When I found it there were just a few days left. I immediately purchased six boxes of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, cut out all the Universal Product Codes, wrote a check for $1.95 and rushed to the post office.

"The second week in August, the post office sent my mangled envelope back to me, less two of the Universal Product Codes, with a note apologizing for any inconvenience. I knew it was too late to send the request in, because the post office box would probably be closed. So I decided to write directly to Kraft explaining my predicament. Not long after, a package arrived. There was the Collectible Tin! I had offered to send Kraft the mangled envelope with the post office note, but Kraft took my word for it! They didn't even ask for the $1.95.

I will always purchase a Kraft product over any other brand because of their consideration."

Stacey Koon are charged with violating King's federal civil rights in the March 3, 1991, beating which was videotaped by an amateur cameraman. Acquittals in the state trial set off riots in Los Angeles. Federal prosecutors trying them on new charges have relied on many new witnesses, including Smith and King himself. Smith, of San Antonio, Texas, said that if King fell hard enough to break bones, he would have also had a broken nose, ear injuries, facial abrasions and skin "tattooing" from grit and pebbles on the ground. "We don't see that in any way," Smith said.

Meanwhile, King's dramatic testimony earlier this week continued to reverberate in the trial. As Thursday's session began, defense attorney Harland Braun angrily asked that large portions of King's testimony about racial comments be stricken and that the jury be told to forget it. U.S. District Judge John G. Davies refused.

Braun accused prosecutors of misconduct for not warning the defense that King would waffle on his allegation that officers shouted the word "nigger" as he was being beaten. "I can't think of anything in this case that was more serious, more prejudicial to the defendants and more serious to the community at large," Braun said. King testified that at some point during his beating he heard a chant from policemen using the words "killer" and "nigger." But on further questioning he said he wasn't sure that the racial epithet was used. Clymer denounced the defense motion as frivolous and despicable. "What Mr.

Braun really wanted was to hide the truth from the jury. Mr. Braun doesn't like that testimony," said Clymer. The judge said the defense should have objected when King was on the stand. He said the government had no obligation to inform the defense of "a slight change" in testimony the defense already knew about.

"I see no misconduct, absolutely none," the judge said. "I really can't see how the defendants can complain." Sheppton-Oneida Brandonville Correspondent: Mrs. Donald Shenyo, W.

or 788-2474 A LOS ANGELES (AP) -Rodney King's swollen, battered face peered out at jurors from blowup photos Thursday as a medical expert testified that King's facial bones were shattered by police batons, not by a fall to an asphalt road. "The pattern of injuries are consistent with a focal but blunt instrument, a baton or baton-like instrument," said Dr. Harry Lincoln Smith, a biomechanics expert who used skull models to give jurors a short course in anatomy as he testified for the government in the trial of four policemen. "Are Mr. King's injuries consistent with a fall to the ground?" Assistant U.S.

Attorney Steven Clymcr asked. "No, they are not," Smith told the federal jury. Smith isolated for the first time a split second in the blurry opening portion of the famous beating videotape which he said shows Officer Laurence Powell beating a fallen King directly on the head and face. "Although it is very blurry," said Smith, "it is to me apparent that as Mr. King is down Officer Powell does the striking moves to the head and is then swinging multiple times.

That gives multiple opportunities for Mr. King to be struck in the head and face." He said the first blow to King seen clearly on the videotape, as King is standing, also was struck by Powell to the head. Powell's lawyer has maintained that his client never struck King directly on the head a move forbidden by police policy unless deadly force is required. A central defense is that King's cheekbone and eye socket were smashed when he fell to the ground while fighting officers. No prosecution experts other than King's treating physicians testified at the officers' previous trial in state court.

Smith's statements supported testimony Tuesday by Dr. Charles Aronberg, chief of ophthalmology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, who said it was his opinion that King's injuries were caused by Earth saverS A CHARITY CASE Do you have old clothing, bedding or linens that you would like to dispose of?
