clude ‘scenes in, which’) an
accused person is Informed of
his rights before beings taken
into custody. Pe
Great for the accused, you
may think, at least he knows his’
\ rights. But what about ‘con-
sumers? When was the last
time someone stepped up to
you in the supermarket and

explained your rights?

It has probably never
happened, and it's not too likely

- it ever will. (Wouldn't you be a

little startled if it did?)

Consumers do have rights
and, equally important, respon-
sibilities, No one's going to
materialize at your elbow to
explain them while you're shop-
ping.

As consumers we have the
right. to. truthful and honest
information about ‘the goods
and services we buy. This true
and honest information: must,
by. law, ap dvertis

erning restraint of-trado, price
fixing and monopolies. °°

. Perhaps most importantly,
we have the right'to be heard,

won't “hear” us we should try
