Fun Willi Science
Contradicting your experience
in traffic with all other cars but
your own, there is no such thing
as an absolutely “sudden” stop,
start or turn. Physicists hold that
it takes time—be it ever so short
—to set any body in motion, stop
it, or even to change its course.

OPA ANNOUNCES NEW
USED CAR SALE
REGULATIONS
A new amendment to the used
commercial vehicle regulation,
Arndt. 9 to RMPR 341, specifies
that, beginning August 1, no seller
may charge warranted maximum
prices for such vehicles unless he
qualifies as a dealer under the
provisions of this amendment,
was annuonced by the Alaska Of
fice of Price Administration.
RMPR 341, with which car
dealers are thoroughly familiar,
established dollars and cents
prices for “as is” sales and “war
ranted” sales. The “as is” prices
are the same for all sellers
whether they are individuals,
dealers, or other sellers gen
erally engaged in that line of
business.
But for sales of commercial ve
hicles “warranted” to be in first
class operating condition, carry
ing a written guaranty to that ef
fect, it is now required that such
a seller be actually authorized by
OPA to act as a dealer.
Previous controls were not suf
ficient to prevent warranted sales
by those unequipped to stand be
hind such sales. OPA takes the
preventive action of restricting
sales at warranted prices to only
such persons as are entitled to
make them. This will forestall the
necessity for many an adjustment
of the difference between the “as
is” price and the “warranty”
price due to a seller’s inadequate
facilities to maintain the terms of
a warranted sale.
All those Alaska dealers who
are affected by this action are be
ing informed by their local OPA
office of the provisions of this
amendment and given the neces
sary application forms to fill out.
Due to late notification on this,
dealers will be allowed a reason
able period of time in which to
fPe the application and receive
their authorization number which
must henceforth appear on all
certificates of transfer covering
such sa^s.
Enforcement check-up will be
held up until dealers have had
that opportunity to comply, OPA
sa;u.
