said Il Just never had occasion to
go anywhere l couldn't drive.
Il raised family of eight children,
and. although they all insisted, never
went to see any of them. They usu-

me the trouble. My wife travelled con-
siderably, considering, and one OF my
daughters has been to Europe, but |
always got along fine on the farm.

and the amount of inheritance tax
has placed the latter as high as 5000,
900 and even S250,000. If such a tax
were paid it would bring the total
