Ordering By Mail—If your
mailbox is being stuffed with
flyers and catalogs promoting
gift items for Christmas, Ex-
tension home management
specialists at The Pennsylvania
State University advise you to
be sure you know with whom
you are dealing before you
place an order. The Federal
Trade Commission received
many complaints from con-
sumers who have ordered items
by mail and paid for them, yet
never received them: Others
have paid and waited months
for delivery. Some were unable
to get a refund when mer-
chandise was defective or
damaged. One way to avoid
these problems, say the home
management specialists, is to
order C.0.D. Another is to deal
with a company that has a local
office or store or can be reached
by telephone. If you can learn
nothing about a company, think
twice before ordering—you may
never see the merchandise or
your money again.

Dallas, presenting Mrs.
Forest City Chapter 374,
John B. Hibbard, president of
the Economic Development
Council of Northeastern Penn-
sylvania, announces that he has
just been notified by the U.S.
Department of Commerce,
Economic Development Ad-
ministration (EDA), that the
seven-county district which
EDCNP serves has been redes-
ignated as an Economic De-
velopment District under the
provisions of Title IV of the
Public Works and Economic
Development Act of 1965.
The designation results from
a request by the EDCNP Exe-
cutive Committee following the
Agnes disaster. Since the dis-
aster, two area counties—
Luzerne and Schuylkill-have
been designated as ‘‘redevelop-
ment areas’ under the enabling
legislation. To be designated, a
district must contain two rede-
velopment areas. Northeastern
Pennsylvania lost this designa-
tion in 1967 when unemployment
dropped below levels required
for designation. Currently,
Carbon and Lcakawanna Coun-
ties’ are eligible to receive
grants from EDA, in addition to
the two redevelopment areas,
although -at a lower federal
funding ration.

President Hibbard, who is
also president of Common-
wealth Telephone Company,
Dallas, states that he is pleased
to announce this federal action
since it will strengthen planning
and economic development
efforts in the region by giving
the area higher priority for fed-
eral funds. He emphasized that
eligible grantee organizations
in the seven counties—local
governments and non-profit
groups—who have public works
projects they believe eligible for
assistance to get in touch with
EDCNP at its Avoca offices.
Public works which are eli-
gible include industrial parks
and other construction projects
which will contribute to expan-
sion of long-tern job opportun-
ities.
In addition to direct benefits
from the Economic Develop-
ment Administration, certified
county and local planning agen-
cies in the seven-county area
will benefit from having 75 per-
cent of their planning budgets
funded by the Department of
Housing and Urban Develop-
ment, rather than the normal 50
percent.
Designation of the Economic
Development Center has the
effect of making communities
on the Lackawanna side of the
Center eligible for the public
works loan and business loan
programs of EDA, in addition to
Luzerne and Schuylkill Counties
which are already eligible.
