Common methods used by some shady dealers to "gyp" the public are described by the Inspector so the public can be on the watch for them First, he Instructs, wait until the scales have stopped before amount Is determined. Other means of "fixing" the scales Include the old string and puddle connection: the sticking of a halved lemon or orange peel as a suet [<ineup to the bottom or the attaching or a rubber band to the scales. One butcher w« found with a lead weight In his necktie which he rested on the scale as he leaned over to see the weight. Another kept ground meat In a platter near the scale and whenever he weighed anything he would slick a handful under the scale. In the matter of measuring con' tainers beware of the dented or the one not properly marked, he In-structs. Also see that wet measure cans are not used for dry measure.

Thursday morning members of the
two local military organizations will
wend their way between the mounds
and place on each grave an Ameri-can

that have been held annually since
the late '60s All of the several

War from this borough have been

are afraid they will have to under-go
a lot of trouble But they should
remember sentiment doesn't put
nickels In your pockets. It gener-ally
takes them out.
"They should also remember if
they lost a nickel a day this totals
|tS a year, a nice little sum. The
Individual losses may be extremely
small but the combined losses In
the county are too high.
"The people should know they
have Inspectors who are easily ob-tained,
who will make thorough
Investigations, not using any
names."
How the buyer should go about
being more observant Is briefly 6e-scribed
by Mr. Hendrickson. "See
If packages and containers are
properly marked and Insist
goods being welgehed on scales In
your Immediate view. See that
nothing is piled up In front of the
scales to obstruct your view."
