! .-.-.VI M HI II; Helicopter Joins Search for Judge In Missing Plane Salem (UPD An Air Force jet-powered helicopter was to join the searh today tor miss ing Circuit Judge Kicnara Anderson, 38, whose light plane vanished last Sunday on a flight from Lebanon to ;he coast. An aerial search and ground search by mounted deputies produced to results Vfdnesday. The mounted roup hunted the Taylor's '.u Ue area near Cottage -Irove. State Arronautics Director "hrl Snyder said his "opti mism has run its course." He said that several leads ended in dead-ends Wednes day, Including the wreckage of one old plane "that comes up periodically." Last Day of Search Snyder said today would be the last day of the aerial search unless new leads are found. The jet helicopter was to bcu sed in the Logsden area northeast of Newport. Snyder said the area had possibilities because many residents re ported hearing a plane there last Sunday. Ground parties from the Lincoln County Sheriff's of fice were to conduct a ground search beneath the helicopter. Snyder said there was a possibility the red and cream Piper Tri-Pacer could have gone down at sea but it was more likely it went down in an inland area.

Ings about 'Investigate before you sign' fall on too many deaf ears. "The home improvement swindlers come out like flies in spring, baiting ' the. home owners with impossible deals, ads that don't mean what they say, and sweet-sounding sales pitches. "Once you've signed on the doited line, he's got you," Roberts said. "And this is when most homeowners make their initial costly mistake." Sometimes, for example, the papers to be signed in clude a "completion certifi cate." Once you've put your name on it, you have certified that the work has been com pleted. One of the sweetest deals-to sour your bank balance - is the model home scheme. The salesman usually says it won't cost much to patch up your house, making it look like something out of a builder's magazine. He offers to do it and will give you a hefty discount if he can use your home as a model when trying to land other contracts in the neigh borhood. What's more, he'll give you a commission on every other contract he com pletes after other customers have seen your "model home." Cheap Job J. R. Hoffman, head of the real estate division at the Na tional Better Business Bureau, said the "model pitch" is al most epidemic in proportion. The Bureau has just sent out an alert on the racket to chambers of commerce na tionwide. From the sound of the "model deal," there's a chance you might even get your home LEGAL NOTICES NOTICE OK SALE ( HKAI, I'HOPKllTY Nn ItnlK.

Passenger train traffic workmen cleared the tracks (UPI Telephoto) fixed up for nothing. "Usual ly, you get a cheap repair job - and pay through the nose," Hoffman warned.' Then there are the scare artists. They knock on the door and tell you the chimney is falling down or your house is a fire trap. For. the mini mum, the salesman will have the trouble fixed. Usually, the minor job becomes major and you pay the maximum. Underquoting and over pricing are other tricks in the swindler's bag. They say they'll do the work for less than' a reputable contractor. They do poor work, charge more and you're the loser. Typical Ad Typical of the home im provement ads was one in vestigated by the Long Island Better Business Bureau re cently. The firm offered alu minum siding for $295. The aluminum siding was a paint, or as a salesman for the firm put it - a "coating pigmented with aluminum." What can you do to keep your home from becoming a naradise for the gyp artists? The Better Business Bureau sugeests: -Find out about the con tractor before going ahead. Check on work that he has done. Once you've establish- ; ed his reliability, you can pro ceed with reasonable confi dence. -Read and understand everything before you sign it. If you don't understand, see your lawyer. -When you have reserva tions about the reliability of a firm, check with the Better j Business Bureau. There's no ! charne for the service.
