The effect of the Easter Sunday ice storm on trees in Rappahannock County could be drastic, according to Dr. Elwood Fisher, professor of biology at James Madison University.
He said it would be wise to use a pruning paint on the wounds to protect the tree from fungal growth.
Consumers
Have Rights
If the supermarkets advertise a special, customers have a right to buy the product at the advertised price immediately upon request, said Glen H. Mitchell, consumer education Extension specialist at Virginia Tech.
The Federal Trade Commission has ruled that supermarkets must make specials available at the price advertised—either on the shelf or upon request.
“Look for specials and compare the prices before you shop,” Mitchell suggested. Recent studies indicate that up to 10 per cent saving on food can be had by buying those things you need and taking advantage of sales.
In the store, customers need to find the exact products at the price advertised.
“Take the ad with you or look at newspaper ads posted in the store. Be certain the product is marked correctly and the checkout personnel rings the sale price,” he said.
"If you are unable to find the advertised item, contact the manager,” Mitchell recommended. He may offer you a raincheck. But the commission said that’s not enough. Customers have a right to the product at the advertised price, as long as they follow any limitations such as clipping a coupon or purchasing a minimum amount of other products.
If the store makes a habit of not having the items as advertised, report this to the Federal Trade Commission. Washington Area Field Office, 6th Floor, 2120 L St., N. W., Washington, D. C. 20037.
