Builder Loses Sleep, but Floats Through Life BY JIM TBANQUADA Tlmt Stiff Wrttw Don Bent hasn't been getting much sleep lately. Just back from Phoenix, where he worked for 37 straight hours, he worked through most of Wednesday night, and he plans to have just enough time during the last four days of 1978 to take occasional catnaps. But he's used to it.

Don Bent designs and builds floats, and this is the 33rd year he has lost sleep over preparations for the Rose Parade in Pasadena on New Year's Day. The 50-year old Bent was a mechanic in his father's garage in Altadena in 1946 when he first began building floats part-time for Isabella Coleman, the doyenne of Rose float builders who was then in the 36th year of her career. Mrs. Coleman has since retired, and Bent is now head of C.E. Bent Son.

It is the oldest and largest of the extant float firms, and it will celebrate its 20th anniversary Jan. 1. Traditionally this is the season when Bent loses the most sleep, and this year is no exception he is now in the midst of putting together 20 Continued from First Page thoughtful consideration on a case by case basis," said Dep.

"If a landlord is going to try to discriminate on the basis of age, he or she can anticipate law suits challenging that, and I anticipate the landlord will have to make a very strong showing of all the factors that justify that restrictive use." The judges did not rule out housing designed for special age groups, but said exclusion of children as a class must be "rationally related to the services performed and the facilities provided." The ruling says that if a landlord bars children from his or her rentals, and is sued for it, a wide variety of factors can be determined by the trial court. Among these factors are the overall housing situation in the area, and the effect of the landlord's policy on all segments of the housing market. the reasonableness under the Unruh Civil Rights Act of a landlord's policy excluding young children depends on a large variety of factors," according to the ruling written by Cole.

The judge quoted a family law journal saying that there is a "need to consider the positions of both families with children and persons desiring to avoid children."

But Bent will have little time to catch up on his sleep after Jan. 1, because the Rose Parade now marks only the beginning of his labors, not the end. His firm is busy throughout the year building floats for 40 other parades across the country, doing over a million dollars in business a year.

He is so busy, in fact, that one year he had a total of eight days off "including Sundays," he says. A major reason why Bent is so busy is that when he started the firm in 1959 it was a one-man operation, and although he now employs as many as 600 during peak periods, the company in many ways remains that way. Although paperwork increasingly ties him to his desk, he said, "I still try as much as I can to actually work on the floats. I still like to get out there and get dirty." He may not be satisfied, but Bent loves his work. "It gets in your blood," he said with a smile.
