Realty Board Renders Service To Community One of the measuring sticks by which a city evaluates its progress is the sale, improvement and occupancy of land. When an area is annexed to the city, for instance, it is an indication of growth in itself, but it cannot be counted for actual, taxpaying, producing growth until it is populated by residents. That is where the realtor comes in. And there are no realtors in Anaheim without the Anaheim Realty Board. (Only members of the board are true "realtors.") Some 25 years ago this association of real estate dealers, brokers, agents and salesmen was formed to advance and protect their own interests as well as that of their clients and the owners of and investors in real estate. A natural outgrowth of this commercial interest in real estate and the people who engage in its turnover was the adoption of an aim to advance the civic development, the economic growth, general welfare and prosperity of the community. Miss Frances Backs is president of the Anaheim Realty Board this year with Bert Arnold, immediate past president, as first vice president, L. F. Buchanan as second vice president and Multiple Listing Division chairman, and Tom McLaughlin as secretary-treasurer. Cynthia Doesn't Like Small Type 'Plus the Tax' An Auction Sale Gets Governor's Proud Cadillac Capitol News Service SACRAMENTO—There's nothing quite like being a sucker for an auction sale, and even the state of California provides fun in this respect once in awhile. The state's latest venture into the auction business, a little known function of government, but fairly regular, involved the sale of seven confiscated and four "surplus" automobiles. Unusual about this particular sale was the fact that the once-proud 1941 Cadillac of the governors went under the hammer, and the big sedan originally purchased for former Governor Culbert L. Olsen, later used by Governor Earl Warren, will now be driven by a state gardener. The big autamobile was purchased by Larry Gaiarda, of 1015 Oak St., Sacramento, a state employee on the Capitol grounds, for $475. Gallarda, some of his friends at the auction said, was prepared to go $800, but the opposing bid of the usual car auction up only to $415. Buying on the governor's car started at $200, and Auctioneer Jack Peterson, of the state department of finance, edged the price up in $25 and $50 bids. From the 11 sales, it was easy to note where some used automobile dealers get the cars offered to an unsuspecting public. For out or the 11 cars, only one other machine went to a private buyer. This was a $15, 1930 Ford seau, confiscated by the state, which was hoodless; and in a generally beat-up condition. What drew this writer to the auction was the listing of a 1941 car. Joan Says You Need Patio for Spring Fever By JOAN S. WHITE The patio is the place for inducing a bout of spring fever. Of course you will need comfortable cushions for lounging. Fresh new cushions are a moral booster well as a pepper-upper for your outdoor decorating scheme. There are many types of pavilion and cushions from which choose. They vary widely in price durability, and comfort, depending on workmanship, outer covering and the unseen factor—the filling. When it comes to the filling probably the best investment kapok for its resiliency and low service. It posts a bit more than cotton but can be used over an over again with fresh covers while cotton has a tendency to become matted and lumpy with continuous use. Vat-dyed army duck is a good choice for the covering fabric since it holds its color well and gives long wear. Satisfactory alternatives are vinyl plastic which is more expensive and drill cloth which is cheaper. The duck comes in various weights, the heavier the weight better service. Drill is a light canvas with its color pained on. When working out your color scheme, it is well to keep the fasting qualities of different colors in mind. Usually the darker color fade less quickly than do the pastel. In vat-dyed fabrics, deco green is usually best with blue rust and turquoise following in that order. If you have your heart set on red, yellow, ocal, rose and like, perhaps these can be worked into smaller pieces of furniture that can be moved in Cynthia Doesn't Like Small Type 'Plus the Tax' By CYNTHIA LOWRY AP Newsfeatures Writer I've been collecting beefs and pet peeves for the last couple of weeks, and making special notes when they coincided with my own. Here's a representative handful: Stores advertising leather handbags and fur coats, which list in bold black print the prices—but without adding on that 20 per cent federal tax. I know the stores don't like the tax, but neither do I. However, to us purchasers it represents part of the purchase price, and when we discover later that we've overlooked the small print "plus federal tax," the most pleasant emotion we feel is annoyance—and not at the government, either. Men who always respond to those eternal surveys on their pet peeves about women by saying they dislike smeary lipstick and red fingernails. It's never the girl with the face innocent of makeup and the hands free of nail enamel who rates masculine attention, and it's not always the girl they pick to marry. HEROINES IN detective stories who are always traipsing off alone into dark cellars, musty attics and deserted hunting lodges where they are invariably knock- From the 11 sales, it was easy to note where some used automobile dealers get the cars offered to an unsuspecting public. For out or the 11 cars, only one other machine went to a private buyer. This was a $15, 1935 Ford sedan, confiscated by the state, when was hoodless, and in a generally beat-up condition. What drew this writer to the auction was the listing of a 1941 Cadillac convertible, confiscated by the Department of Justice after the previous owner was hauled in for transporting narcotics. A check in the blue book value or the car divulged the fact that the wholesale price is $450 and the retail ceiling price, $695. A check on the condition of the convertible, however, offered by the state, indicated that a bid or more than $50 would cost somebody money. The leather, upholstery had several rips and tears therein, all four times were smooth, one headlight was clear gone, one tail-light broken out, and although the motor actually ran, it could have been smoother. The convertible, however, brought the state $250 following a little serious bidding, and if it's sold at the ceiling price by the used car dealer who made the purchase, it will still cost somebody money, for generally speaking the rule of "caveat emptor" still prevails on the used car lots, a fact which recent tours have brought home in a somewhat forceful manner. The state's used car auctions are held under the auspices of the State Department of Finance, with Ellsworth Scammon, head of the state's automotive division, in charge. The 11 cars at the recent sale brought in a total of $2952.50, and the prices ranged from the scheme, it is well to keep the fasting qualities of different colors in mind. Usually the darker color fade less quickly than do the pastel. In vat-dyed fabrics, deep green is usually best with blue rust and turquoise following in that order. If you have your heart set on red, yellow, ocular, rose and the like, perhaps these can be worked into smaller pieces of furniture that can be moved inside to prevent exposure to the sun's direct rays. And happily, the weakest colors in duck are the strongest in vinyl plastic. Vinyl plastic with duck backing is a durable fabric which can sometimes be found in reversible cushions. Its strongest colors are red, yellow and charcoal: $15 jalopy to a top of $690 for a 1946 Buick convertible sedan which had been declared surplus by the Department of Justice. Most of the state's surplus cars have been driven several years and have fairly high mileages. The speedometer on the governor's Cadillac, for instance, read more than 80,000 miles. Whether it has gone around once previous to this reading for a total of 180,000 could not be ascertained, but the superposition on the part of garage employees was that it had no view of the age of the car and the great amount of driving done by the governor's office. Anyone can bid at the auctions as long as they have cash or cashier's check to back up the bid. The state takes no chances!
