FOR SAFETY’S SAKE

       There are some precautions that you should take while using your  credit card.

To protect yourself :

       • Keep your card in view when you give it to a clerk.

       • Examine each draft before you sigh it, making sure that the total amount is 

       filled in so that additional charges cannot be added later.

       • Do not sign blank sales drafts,        and make sure that incorrect drafts are voided 

       or destroyed.

       • Destroy any carbons from completed sales drafts so that  others cannot use the

       information on the carbon paper.

       • Promptly retrieve your card after use, and make sure that you get your own

       card back.

       • Keep all your sales receipts and check them against your monthly statement. 

       If you should find any discrepancies on your monthly statement, be sure to

       report them immediately to the card issuer.

For  more information, contact your local police department.

       It is doubtful that Z.A. Milne had read the Transcendental writings of Henry 


David Thoreau when he wrote and published Winnie-the-Pooh. Thoreau like Pooh, 


Lived alone in the woods with friends near to him  but not overwhelmingly close. 


Thoreau lived frugally  : eating what he gained by his own hand, building his own 


shelter, and walking about in nature studying the patterns of life and gaining insight. 


Pooh also simply lives by simple means and simple rules, but Pooh is complex and 


Often misunderstood. His anive, simplistic life is not one easily achieved nor easily 


enjoyed by just any inhabitant of the Hundred Acre Wood. Pooh's life is without the 


worry of planting a garden and gaining materialistic success (Rabbit), the endless 


pursuit of unless knowledge to confuse everyone else (Owl), the constant pessimism 


and depression that comes from too much interaction with unimportant worldly 


matters (Eeyore), and the nervous insecurity that is a result of an unsure character 


without a grasp on his true self (Piglet). Pooh is in fact a Transcendentalist, and 


a perfect mode for children and adults who want a happy, peaceful life in harmony 


with both themselves and nature, free of strife and materialistic worries.
