Boldt Writes Views
in National Organ
of Realtors Assn

If you're one of those city
dwellers with a secret yearnlng
10 return 70 the sOtt VIA the sifsA
farm route, you'd better buy soon
else pay an inflated price later on.
This is the opinion of Clarence
!. Boldt, Detroit realtor and spe-
cialist in small farm properties. .
Writing in the April issue OF
Freehold, organ of the National
Association of Real Estate Boards,
Boldt declared:
II anticipate within the next
few years a greater boom In
real estate than we had In the
twenties and prices will be
much higher for the small farm
property. Demand at the pres
ent time is actually greater than
in 1929.
Nineteen and forty was =
good year for the marketing OF
small farms. Sales during that
time exceeded our expectations.
In the last year and a half we
have almost completely sold out
three large subdivisions owned
by the United Savings Bank OF
Detroit"
Boldt, chairman Of the brokers'
division of the Detroit Real Estate
Board, wrote that hard-surfaced
roads have made il possible for
factory workers TO drive even as
far as 40 miles into the country.
where they maintain comfortable
homes on sufficient land to raise
most of their living and sell their
surplus from the roadside"
This is a most satisfactory
life for city workers."
he declared. ut has been my
experience that most people who
buy these small farms readily
adapt themselves and very few
ever return to the city"

It should like American workers
to feel that they are right in this

Gasoline sales in Washington have
the Labor Day week end, checkup
indicated today, and some filling

there will be no real pinch on local
motor fuel consumers during Sep

Filling station men in the four

nothing worth speaking Of" today
and were very light in their pur-
chases yesterday.
Heavy Through Traffic.
Outside the District. on the main
highways, a number of stations had
a different story. They said that
through traffic was heavy and sales
were high.
In the city, dawdling station at

lieved that motorists rushed the
gasoline pumps Friday and Satur-
day, filling tanks for the week end.
Will Dole Out Amounts.
Slow use of the September quota,
released Saturday by special dis
pensation of the petroleum co-ordi~
nator, means that more gasoline
will be available for the rest of the
month. Many stations have been
informed just what their allotment.
will be, and will dole this out in
daily amounts. Others have no def
mite plans for orderly restrictions,
but many of these expect TO get
orders from their company head
quarters tomorrow.
Statisticians say that motor fuel
consumption declines in autumn
and some dealers gained confidence
from this.

rule.
Veterans Of all wars, formed into
the French Legion, will be joined

not-who support the marshal They
will become the only functionins
political party in France.
Announcing the move, Marshal
Petain told gathering Of thousands
of Legionnaires at Vichy yesterday
that "we-the government, Admiral
Darlan and myself-intend TO lean
(on the Legion) for support"
The Legion, he said. will include
those who share your faith and
wish to join your saving action"
Authoritative sources said that
from today the Legion inherits
from the dead national group not
only the war veterans. but all those
who wish to participate in their
action. A single party is born"
The National Group, first formed
as a support by the Petain govern
ment, failed to catch hold and ex.
pired after a rival national group
was formed in Paris when Vice
Premier Pierre Laval was ousted
from the government.
The legion. carefully nursed by
