During The 1950S, He Served As Honorary Mayor Of Canoga Park. He Would Continue To Make Television Appearances For The Next 10.

He Was Active In Local And Los Angeles Civic Affairs, Philanthropy And Politics. He Served As Recreation And Parks Commissioner For The City Of Los Angeles, Received Awards For His Efforts To Beautify The City And Was The Honorary Mayor Of Canoga Park For Quite A Time.
