Staff of the Regional Library Steal Cops' Car SAN DIEGO, Calif. (UPI) -San Diego police found one of their white and black patrol cars before anyone realized It was missing.

Officers believe that someone walked into the police garage and drove off in the car.

BROOKS NEW YORK (UPI)--In today's affluent society the questionisn't so much how to get it but, rather, what to do with it once you've got it. Think about it.

You've got portable appliances by the dozen, in every room, all designed to make life easier, more pleasant. There is clothing for all purposes and all seasons--purses and shoes, sportswear, rainwear and stormwear. There are the records and documents every family should keep books, magazines and study equipment and hobby equipment galore. Luggage for every purpose and maybe camping gear. The kids' toys and games keep accumulating.

There's sports equipment for the while family most likely, and the things that are a must for outdoor living and playing. All those gardening tools, mechanized and otherwise. And Dad's workshop! There are sewing and mending supplies, and linens for bed, bath and table. Cosmetics and supplies for the bath--hair dryers and electric shavers, toothbrushes, curlers and who knows what. In the laundry--all those products for washing, bleaching, softening, stiffening, to say nothing of the Ironing equipment.

Cleaning equipment and supplies in profusion. The kitchen. That's really the place. In addition, to the staples, the ordinary foods and dishes and pots and pans, there are bottles and boxes and cans of every size description-cases of soft drinks and bottles of wine, the snacks and party goods, barbecue and picnic needs. What kitchen doesn't have utensils In variety--and lids for these utensils; serving dishes of every description and gadgets, and gadgets and gadgets.

There isn't a family that can't add to the list some of its own special bug-a-boos. What to do with it all? According to a recent survey, the vast majority of homemakers are baffled by the question. Complicating the picture, the survey notes, is both Inadequate storage 'space in many homes, and poor engineering of what space there is. Conducted for Republic Molding Corporation of Chicago, a firm which manufactures plastic housewares, the survey was designed to assess the nature and extent of home organization and storage problems as they relate to a variety of factors: the family group, Its income, its possessions, and the home's existing facilities. It elicited a 46.8 per cent response from 500 county home demonstration agents to whom it was sent, indicating a strong concern with the overall problem of storage and organization.

The economists, who regularly visit homemakers and are able to see disorganization "In the raw," charged that at least 50 per cent of today's homes do not have adequate storage space. They also estimated that 71 per cent of families accumulate too much "junk." But did you ever try to get rid of that junk? Inevitably, it's very valuable to the family member who owns it. As profiled by the study, the most disorganized homemaker is likely to be young--under 25 perhaps--and too busy carlngfor three pre-school and school-age children to manage an outside job. The family's income Isunder $7,000, and they live in a home that is at least 20 years old. She's In need of help In organizing her home, the study concluded.

But the problem Is not hers alone. It is one which sorely Jpjthers homemakers of all ages, with families of all sizes, and homes of all kinds. The study was undertaken by Republic to help with the development and promotion of future product designs and concepts and it is hoped other manufacturers and home planners will take the cue. The experts surveyed, In pointing out the shortcomings of common storage facilities In the home, were most critical of kitchen cabinets. They cited lack of shelves or separators, lack of flexibility, wasted space and inac- sessiblllty.

Under sink areas were considered generally too deep to be practical, hard to clean and largely waste space. Kitchen drawers often are too deep, have a few separators and lack flexibility. Attics, garages and basements all were categorized as problem areas, with space not properly organized, often Inaccessible, hard to clean, tending to cause soiling of stored items, and in some cases hazardous. Closets generally were considered to lack flexibility, with too few shelves or separators resulting in wasted space. Bedroom closets often are too shallow, linen closets too 'deep.

Bathroom medicine cabinets were considered often too shallow and hazardous. Dresser and bureau drawers lack flexibility and usually are too deep. If all this hasn't really helped much to solve your particular storage problems, at least you know you're not alone. The rest of us aren't very organized either. "Household appliances, furniture, and floor coverings all are higher this year except for TV sets, which have had lagging sales.

Shop the sales for specials on furniture, bedding, blankets, refrigerators and floor coverings. "The cost of shoes has gone up 6 per cent this past year. You can help alleviate this cost by shopping the January shoe sales. "Car expenses," says Sidney Margolius, "have been edging up more than is justified by the recently added safety features. If you are looking for a used car, you'll find the lowest prices in January and February.

"January is also the month of white sales for sheets and other household linens."
