此内容暂无简体中文译文,以下为英文原文。

Forest Park Community College is offering a program this fall aimed at acquainting consumers with their rights and responsibilities in the marketplace.

Funded by a federal grant, the new ‘FPCC program, Operation Consumer Insight, is being offered for disadvantaged residents of St. Louis and St. Louis County to aid them in making intelligent purchases. The grant covers tuition costs, so each of the nine courses is being offered free of charge to those eligible to enroll.

The program is open to: young married couples with incomes of $5,000 or less, elderly persons on pensions, physically handicapped

Operation Consumer Insight has been funded for 36 weeks, beginning in September. The first class, Consumer Credit, will begin at 7 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 14.

The other courses, which will follow each other consecutively, are: Budgeting and Managing Money, Renting and Owning a Home, Insurance, Savings and Investments, Understanding Consumer Taxes, Consumer Helps and Services, Economical Ways to Travel, and Health and Medical Services.

The courses will be offered in the evening by the Forest Park Community College business division, under the direction of Dr. Mildred M. Whitted, associate professor of business. Certificates of completion and one community service credit will be awarded for each successfully completed course.

For more information, contact the FPCC business division, 644-3300.
