WASHINGTON -- The Envi-
ronmental Protection Agency
has surveyed car buyers’ habits
and revised the fuel-economy
labels required for cars.
Lastyear,the EPA listed their
testing results for the 1974
models by weight class -- only
cars in the same weight cata-
gories were compared in terms
of gas mileage. But this system,
EPA fougd, made it difficult for
consuny to compare the gas
mileage’ of a light- weight car
with that of a substantially
heavier car.
pler labeling system tor all 19/5
cars: All models with their
particular engine sizes will be
given a basic miles-per-gallon
rating.
The Federal Trade Commi-
ssion has accepted provisional
consent. orders from two auto
dealers in Fairfax and Spring-
field, Va., who were selling new
cars that were less than new.
FTC’s Washington, D.C., reg-
ional office charged the dealers
had not told customers how
much some cars had been used
prior to sale. The cars in quest-
ion had been driven ‘‘substant-
ially more than the limited use
necessary for pre-delivery
moving or road testing,” ac-
cording to the ETC.
The FTC is requiring the two
dealers to state in advertise-
ments and in oral sales pitches
how mugh the cars how much
some ® had been driven, and
the cars will have window
stickers . stating: ‘For exact
mileage, see odometer.”
Complaints about the dealers
alleged they had deliberately
given buyers the false impres-
sion that the cars were new.
When a provisional consent
order ‘is finalized by the com-
mission, the order becomes law
for future actions. A company
or official found violating a final
FTC order may have to pay a
civil penalty up to $10,000 per
violation.
An another action, the FTC
has accepted a provisional con-
sent order from the makers of
Lysol brand products and its
advertising agency.
The commission is question-
ing ‘claims that Lysol, a room
freshener, kills germs and
viruses on sufaces and in the
air, and that it will help prevent
colds, viruses and upper respir-
atory diseases.
The FTC said that surface
germs and viruses do not play
“a significant role’’ in causing
colds and infections. They also
said Lysol products do not lower
the number of infectants in the
air -- the primary causes of such
illnesses -- enough to cut down
the spread of viruses and germs
in the home.
Support is growing for a bill
which would allow homeowners
to take a 20 percent credit on
their income taxes -- up to $200
improvements on their homes.
The bill, sponsored by Rep.
William Lehman, D-Fla., is
pending in the house of Repre-
sentatives.
The National Federation of
Independent Business, a Wash-
ington-based trade group,
polled their members through-
out the nation and found that 63
percent support Lehman's bill,
33 percent oppose it and the rest
are undecided.

ment will probable oppose the

Ford Motor Company is
diverting some of its attention
from the highways to the rail-
ways. The Department of
Transportation has granted the
nation’s second largest atuo-
maker a $2.1 million govern-
ment contract to design and test
a high-speed magnetic train.
The company plans to exper-
iment with two types of trains,
using magnetic attraction for
one and magnetic repulsion for
the other. Both models will be
rocket-powered. One will hang
just below a suspended rail,
being moved forward by the
rockets, but staying just below
the overhead rail by magnetic
attraction.

Freezing Homemade Bread
Dough—Nothing can beat the
smell of fresh, homemade
bread or rolls. And, point out
Extension foods and nutrition
specialists at The Pennsylvania
State University, you can mix
up a batch of dough and then
freeze it to be baked some other
day. Some recipes have been
developed. especially for freez-
ing. But you can also freeze re-
gular bread recipes. If you
freeze bread dough, it’s best to
use it within twe.to four weeks
after. freezing. That's: because
the homemade doughs have a
short storage life and the bread
baked from them will be less
desirable the longer the dough
is frozen. You can keep frozen
baked bread for several months
without much loss in quality.
A similar award has been
presented to Bedwick and
Jones, 1428 Sans Souci High-
way, Wilkes-Barre, printers of

sents the second such award in
less than a year which the
