OREGON DEFINES
"REALTOR" BY LAW
State Upholds National Associa'
tons Claim to Use
of Term,

The term "realtor' has been recog-
nized in . law by the State of Oregon
as applying exclusively to a member
of one of the National Association of
Real Estate Boards. Heretofore court
decisions and real estate commissioners
have upheld the national association in
its claim to the sole right to the term,
but Oregon is the first State to define
the word in law.

estate license act in order to give the
public better protection against ire
sponsible and incompetent brokers
Section 81 of the revised license law
definitely states that use of the term

Such action is in line with the stand

designate active members of constituent
boards OF the national association. were

the code of ethics of the National Asso-

Clarendon Decision.

LYON VILLAGE, Va, July 16.-
After a conference last night at the
home of Robert N. Anderson, president
of the Lyon Village Citizens ASSoci-
alton, the presidents of the citizens as
sociationS of four Of the communities
affected decided to defer action on the
course they are to pursue In the matter
Of the raising of funds for the Claren-
don Volunteer Fire Department.
Conference Called.
The conference was called when it
was learned that the Clarendon Citi-
zens' Association, of which the fire de-
partment was once a part, had offered
the fire department the sum Of $4,000
toward the construction of new en-
CINE house, the department to raise an
additional $500 each from the five other
communities directly served by the de-
partment if the board of county super
visors would put up $4,000.
The deferred action resulted from
an agreement entered into yesterday
between the board of supervisors and
fire department whereby the former
will furnish half of the $4,000 needed
only If the citizens association, through
its holding corporation. will put up
the entire $4,000 as the fire depart
ment's share. Under the agreement
believed that the fire department was
entitled to this amount from the sale
of the old building, which was owned
by the civic association.
