birth and a new beginning. Here, Jennifer, dressed in her brand
new Easter outfit, clutches a stuffed rabbit and stares, almost
in awe, at the contents of a traditional Easter basket. Although
Jennifer is too young to understand the real meaning of the
Easter holiday, she enjoys the traditional things like the Easter
Bunny and Easter baskets filled with goodies.

‘Lemon law’
By WALLY KOCHER
Staff Correspondent
Governor Dick Thornburgh signed
Bill 1405 recently, which requires
automobile manufacturers to repair
or replace new cars that have seri-
ous defects.
The bill, known as the ‘“‘automo-
bile lemon law,’’ requires the manu-
facturer to repair a defective vehi-
cle at no cost to the owner, or to
replace it after three unsuccessful
WM repair attempts.
“This legislation will provide a
specific type of consumer protection
not contained in current state law
without placing an undue burden on
manufacturers,” said Thornburgh.
“This law will place consumers on
more equal bargaining terms with
manufacturers and sellers of auto-
mobiles,” said Thornburgh. ‘I com-
mend Sen, Clarence Bell and Rep.
Charles Laughlin for their diligence
in securing passage of this legisla-
tion.” pls
George Isaacs, president of
Howard ‘Duke’ Isaacs Inc., of
Trucksville, strongly supports. the
new law.
“We’ve done what the new law
says for years,”’ he said. ‘No one
wants an unhappy customer, and
any dealer worth a salt will support
this law. n
Isaacs, who is also the area chair-
man on the safety committee for the
Pennsylvania Automotive Associa-
tion, pointed out the prime advan-
tage to the law.
“This law puts the customer in
direct touch with the manufac-
turer,” he said. “I think it will
make the manufacturer step a little
livlier when a customer has a prob-
lem.
‘The Pennsylvania Automotive
Association really pushed for this
legislation, and I think our law is
one of the best in the country,” he
said.
The law applies to vehicles pur-
chased for personal or household
purposes with a capacity of up to 15
persons. It applies to demonstrator
and dealer vehicles, but not to
motorcycles, motor homes, or off-
road vehicles:
Defects covered by the law are
those which substantially impair the
use, value, or safety of the vehicle.
Buyers are given the option of
having the defective vehicle
replaced with one of equal value or
getting a refund of the purchase
price, minus a reasonable allowance
for the buyer’s use.
Protections of the bill apply for
the first year or 12,000 miles of use,
or at the expiration of the manufac-
turer’s warranty, whichever occurs
first.

In an interview with The Dallas

the past and present board mem-

“Under the category of curricu-

‘Here’s Looking at You Two’, which
is a drug and alcohol program, and
our advanced placement and gifted

proud of our academic achieve-
ment. Qur averages have been
above the national norms since

Academics isn’t the only area of
achievement at Lehman. According
