WEDNESDAY REALTY VIEWS Wrote Oscar Wiide, "Everyone knows the prices of things but few know the value of anything." How true Wis is wirn real estate. That is why it will al ways pay you to consult a compe tent real estate firm one who is trained to know the difference be tween "price and value." Our years of experience are your guarantee that we can help you to find a genu ine real estate value. Many people have a mistaken no tion. They assume that if they can buy a property for a little less than the asking price, they will have a real "value." But an experienced realty nrm knows value is not based on pries entirely. It is made up of lots of important factors, and varies with the individual requirements of each fam ily. Here are a few of the things, Other than price, which result in value: Location, type of neighborhood, size of the lot and building, architectural Ityling, comparison with adjoining properties and with similar ones else where in the city, the needs of the in dividual buyer. You cannot become a real estate xpert overnight. It takes much study ind years of experience to judge real state "value" accurately. That's where we come in. Our ex perience will be a big help to you in selecting a property which is a good VALUE. ALWAYS DEAL THROUGH A REALTOR HOME AGENCY Realtors : JOSEPH CHEZ, Broker .

Douglas McKay today an nounced the selection of Mrs. Henry Roe Cloud of West Linn as Oregon mother for 1950. Mrs. Roe Cloud is an Indian woman. The governor's Oregon mother committee meeting in Portland named Mrs. Roe Cloud for the contribution that she has made to the welfare of Indian women in the northwest, as well as to community programs in behalf of all citizens. Mrs. Roe Cloud Is the widow of Henry Roe Cloud, former superintendent of the Umatilla Indian reservation and who at the time of his recent death was with the Bureau of Indian Af fairs. Four of her daughters are graduates of Vassar and have made careers for themselves in various fields. Mrs. Roe Cloud received her degree in education from Hamp ton Institute, Va., in 1907, and took nurses training in Philadel phia. During World War II she served as an army nurse at Ord nance. The family moved to Oregon 12 years ago, and lived at Pendleton until moving to West Linn three years aRo. She is a member of the Presbyterian church at Oregon City, where she has aided in Sunday school work. She has toured various states as a speaker for the board of missions for the Presbyterian church. Aphis Spray Advised For Cherry Growers Cherry growers can now begin to spray for aphis control. County Agent C. B. Cordy said today. Though there are few cherries grown commercially in the county, there are numerous family orchards where cherry trees are subject to aphis dam age. Though the presence of aphis may not yet be apparent, a thorough spraying, completed any time between now and blos som time, is the surest way to get effective control. For large quantities of spray, Cordy suggests a pint of black leaf 40 and a quart of summer oil emulsion to 100 gallons. For smaller quantities cherry grow ers could use a tablespoon of black leaf 40 In two gallons of soapy water. If they are not stopped now, aphis will curl the end leaves on new growths and will be difficult to get at, Cordy said.

April 5, 1950 Wooden Indians For Cigar Stores Making Comeback By Ken Ford United Press Correspondent New York (U.R) The cigar store Indian of the gaslight era is making a comeback by popu lar demand but the dead-panned wooden images are as carce as the buffalo. Meeting the demand is the problem of Richard Tukey, who said he has had enough requests from corner smoke shop owners across the nation to use all he can get. Tukey estimated that 3,000 cigar store Indians are known to exist but all save 200 are on "reservation" in private collec tions. The 200, he said, are on active duty. Carvers Needed Tukey believes there are two ways to solve his problem; got the collectors to part with them and encourage persons to carve them. Both tasks are difficult, he admitted. "You just can't seem to get anyone with the patience to sit down and enrve," he explained. In the 18B0s, when cigar store Indians were at the height of their popularity, some 100,000 of them stood in front of stores. The no-obstaclcs-on-sidewalks in many cities and the decline of carving as a pastime marked the passing of the wooden warriors, Tukey said. The average age of the exist ing images would be about 70 now, said Tukey, who is leading the campaign in his job as di rector of the Cigar Institute of America. Few Mads Lately Very few have been made in the last 150 years, Tukey re ported, and any new atomic age models should have more sex appeal." "They'll just have to look less fearsome and more like Clark Gable. And as for the squaws, well, something is needed to catch the male eye," Tukey said. "The old Indians were pretty fearsome looking fellows and the squaws really buxom and well covered." The going price on the collec tors' market ranges between $250 and $1,000. Tukey said he knew of a case where a tobaccon ist in Hawaii bought a cigar store Indian from a man in Terre Haute, Ind., for $800 and then had it shipped by air. Not Real "Americans" Unlike the flesh-and-blood In dian, the cigar store jobs, which were almost life-size, can not claim to be real "Americans." They migrated from England, Tukey said. When sailing ships gave way to steam vessels the artisans who carved bowsprits took up figure carving. Merchants used them as signs symbolizing their business. "The Indian was the British concept of America and tobac conists there adopted him as their symbol," Tukey observed. "Later, the Idea came here from England." Furthermore, Tukey said, au thorities on cigar store Indians agree that few of the men who carved them ever saw a real Indian. Their features are often Caucasian. Post, Hydrant, Pole Damaged In Accident Police said a highway marKer Dost, a fire hydrant and a power pole were damaged about 7:30 pm. when a car operated by Mrs. Thomas E. Bray, Eagle Point, went over the curb at 1105 Court street. The car was also considerably damaged, the report said. Police stated that Mrs. Bray was cited for having no operator's liceX''. bhe apparently was not hurt. San Rafael Arcangel In Ma rin county, Cal., was founded in 1817.
