Hjgh school students in
the Washington area don't
bother about Valentines
Day. They think they've
outgrown it.
Unless there's a school
dance or those going steady
decide to declare their af-
lection with a card, the red
heart day ticks away almost
like any other.
An elaborate Valentines
Day party at a teen-ager's
home, most local youths say,
Is as rare as an Eskimo In
the desert.
"It's too much trouble for
the hostess" says 16-year-
old Kathy Crown of Central

It's not that the local

For Code on
Home Repair
BY MIRIAM OTTENBERG
Star staff Writer

Star Staff Writer
Commissioner Robert e. Nc
Laughlin said today he hoped
to get early action on the new
regulations to outlaw un-
ethical practices in the Dis
trict's home improvement in
dustry.
The three Commissioners
took the regulations under ad-
visement yesterday after hear
ing testimony from IA wit
neSses. most Of them favorable
to the new curbs.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said he ex-
pected very few revisions would
be necessary before the regula-
tons are approved formally.
He noted that three or four
problems-including the bond
ing Of small contractors-
would have to be explored.
He said he was encouraged
BY the amount Of support
given the proposals.
The regulations provide
licensing and bonding Of home
improvement contractors and
their statesmen and, according
to Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci Robert r. Kneipp, protect
homeowners either directly or
indirectly against fly-by- might
operators.
Enthusiastic Support
Testimony ct the hearing
ranged from enthusiastic sup
port from citizens groups and
victims to qualified support
from some contractors who
wanted changes in the regu-
lations. There was testimony
that fly-by-night contractors
could not be legislated out of
existence as well as testimony
that the regulations should be
expanded to cover all builders.
The problem which apparent
ly impressed the Commissioner
most had to do with the diff
culties small contractors face in
getting bonds. Commissioner
Mclaughlin suggested that q
committee dealing with this
problem explore the possibility
Of q local firm bonding the
smaller contractors who could
not meet the financial require
ments Of the larger bonding
companies.
Mrs. Harold Hinton, repre-
senting the Progressive Citi-
zenS Association Of George
town, cited cases to support her
argument that the regulations
touched on only q part Of the
big area she wanted covered
and controlled. She urged L.
censing Of all builders.
Section Questioned
John ]. Coe, president of the
Washington Association Of
Plumbing Contractors, Endorsed
most Of the regulations but
questioned the section which
would allow contractors to ad-
vertise that they could supply
plumbers and electricians who
have been required to be IL
censed and bonded for many
years.
Bernard Friedman, past
president Of Metropolitan AS
ISOLATION Of General Improve
ment Contractors (MAGIC)
told the Commissioners that
he was q member Of the group
that assisted in drafting the
regulation, but he questioned
provisions for placing the start
ing and completion dates In
the home improvement con-
tracts. He also wanted the con-
tracts subject to credit ap-
proval.
A number Of the witnesses
mentioned that the surround
ing areas looked to the Dis
trict in curbing unethical prac-
tices in the home improvement
industry. One witness. John n
Haas. president Of Workshop
22l, Inc, urged that licensing
and bonding Of contractors
should be q reciprocal thing 90
that when the surrounding
areas adopt similar controls
the contractors would not be
required to post additional
bonds.

Judge E. Barrett Prettyman
of the United States Court Of
Appeals yesterday opposed
stripping the Districts Juve-
nile Court Of jurisdiction over
paternity and non = support
cases.
In q talk to the District
League Of Woman Voters, the
judge, who Is former president
Of the judicial Conference,
said these caseS-as well aS
juvenile delinquency and de-
pendency cases-Should all be
handled by the same court.
Transfer Of the paternity and
non-support cases to Munich
pal Court Is one Of the pro-
posals that have been made for
slashing the Juvenile Courts
steadily mounting backlog Of
pending cases.
Another suggestion, now be-
ing pondered by the House Dis
trict Committee, Is to convert
the entire Juvenile Court into
an arm Of Municipal Court so
that more judges could be
available.
Judge Prettyman, who has
vigorously backed a third plan
to create two additional judge
ships in the existing Juvenile
Court, indicated he also OPP
poses the wholesale transfer
suggestion.
Possibly Three
He said. however, that the
original proposal for two addi-
tional Juvenile Court judges
which never got out Of COM
mittee In the House-may have
been too conservative.
Maybe we should have
asked for three" he said.
In any event, Judge Pretty
man said. problems involving
juveniles, including paternity
and non-support cases, require
q special court and o special
staff Of experts to advise it.
"A plain, ordinary, everyday
court doesn't have that sort Of
staff" he said. Its no prob
lem Of guilty or not guilty, I
can tell you that"
None Of these cases is Just q
lawsuit. All Of them involve the
fundamental question of what
are you going to do with chill
. dren."

Judge Prettyman noted that
many Municipal Court judges
think q Juvenile Court judge
should have special qualifica-
tionS and feel they are not
equipped to handle" this type
Of case.

a time when there is increasing

Land owners are advised by Mrs. Francis Torkilsen, city clerk of Kenai, to notify her office at once of any change in ownership in order that tax rolls be kept accurately and up to date.
 .sIf the correct owners of prop erty could receive the tax notices, it would avoid much delinquency in tax payments, making it if nancially easier on taxpayers and easier on the city clerks stafs, ' Mrs. Torkilsen said. "If change of ownership is recorded immedi- ately most of these taxes will not become delinquent"
 Correct listing of all names in- volved in the transfer and box numbers or other mailing ad- dresses are likewise important, she added.
