Fall is time to beware
*of furnace repair frauds
When summer turns to fall,
altogether too many
hdmeowners will be prey to
practices of unscrupulous
"furnace repairmen," says
Daniel J. Colangelo, president
fi$bt the 15,000 member New
Jersey Association of Realtors.
Answering a knock on the
door, the" unsuspecting
homeowner is confronted by a
person posing as an inspector
for the city or local utility. This
"The 'inspector' will ask to
see the furnace, claiming he is
making a routine safety check.
Upon seeing it, he will declare it
unsafe. Among other things, he
may say the unit is leaking
Agas," states Colangelo.
The inspector's performance
sets the stage for a salesman
who magically appears on the
front step that same day. He
presents a contract for
replacement or repair of the
faulty furnace. Too often, the
/(frightened homeowner signs on
the dotted line. In the end, he
may pay considerably more for
the Job—and the work was not
needed.
Although the vast majority of
repairmen and contractors are
/^reliable and honest, Colangelo
*offers the following tips to help
you ferret out unscrupulous
operators:
-Before letting an "inspector"
in your, house, call the
appropriate city department or
utility company and check
credentials.
•Before signing any contract,
know who you are dealing with.
Call the Better Business
Bureau and ask if any complaints
have been filed against
the repairman or firm. Ask how
complaints have been handled.
-Ask for customer references,
and take time to check them
out. Reliable firms will gladly
supply them.
-If the repairman claims to be
bonded or insured, make sure
he is, for how much, and what
the bond or insurance covers.
-Don't be high-pressured
into signing a contract. Seek
bids from other firms in the
same line of work.
-Never accept verbal
promises unless they also are
included in a written contract.
-Take tune to read and understand
the contract. Does it
cover both labor and
materials? Is the quality of
materials to be used specified?
-Is clean-up specified in the
contract? Will the contractor
remove unused materials?

Masons donate 32 pints of blood
By AL CAMPBELL
SEA ISLE CITY —Many
people don't know some of the
things that Free and Accepted
Masons do for the community
that are very positive and
rewarding.
One such project is the blood
banks which are held in
Masonic lodges (meeting halls)
throughout the state of New
Jersey. The program is
sponsored by the local Masonic
lodges and have the support of
the state-wide Grand Lodge of
New Jersey.
Last Wednesday evening, one
of these blood banks was held in
the Masonic lodge on John F.
Kennedy Blvd. in this resort.
In the time span of two hours
(from 6:30 until 8:30) 32 pints of
blood was collected. from the
public minded individuals.
Sharing and assisting other
people is one of the principal
objects of all Masons. This
blood bank is one very important
and very personal way
of saying that Masons care
about their fellow men.
Collection took place under
the watchful eye of E. Louis
Fanjul executive director of the
Community Blood Bank of
Southern New Jersey, Inc.
which has headquarters in
Cherry Hill.
These blood banks have been
going on for many years here in
Cape May County and hundreds
upon hundreds of pints of the
life-supporting material have
been collected from Cape May
County Masons.
Masonic charities are

Hypertension, diabetes program
Hypertension and diabetes
may be on the down-swing in
Atlantic Country in the near
future.
Beginning this month, the
Department of Public Health
will expand its preventable
medicine efforts and initiate a
new screening program aimed
at identifying hypertension and
diabetes candidates.
"The emphasis is on
educction and counseling for
the entire community," explains
Public Health Director
Joseph Aiello. "We're hoping to
convince employers to take
advantage of these screenings,
which will take about five
minutes of company tune for
each individual tested"
The screenings are free to all
County residents, and Aiello
notes that an "all-out" effort
will be made to approach local
employers to participate.
"Actually, if we Identify a
hypertenisve or diabetic now,
we can save the employer tune
and money lost in absenteeism
in the future."
According to Aiello, the
testing is simple. For hypertension,
it involves a blood
pressure reading. For diabetes,
the initial screening requires a
finger-stick, where the drop of
blood drawn is placed on a lab
slide and analyzed. If the
reading is high, the Health
Department notifies the client
to retake the test. "If after
following the restrictive diet,
the second test reads high also,
well refer the dlent to hls-her
private physician or help them
find one. At the same time,
well help them to understand
the nature of the illness and its
symptoms."
AleOo estimates that with
eight nurses assigned to clinic
work, the County has the ability
to screen on a twice-weekly
basis. He said that although
initially the screenings will be
done by the mobile testing
units, he expects to schedule
regular walk-in dinlcs at both
the Stlllwater complex in
Northfleld, and the Outreach
Center in Mays Landing by next
month.
He hopes to begin screening
employees of local business,
regardless of sire, as an ongoing
County service, and
urges interested employers to
contact the Department of
Public Health at M84609.
