Obligations Die Too?

A wealthy broker decided to give
his wife custom-built car, tail
ored to suit her taste. He placed
the order, at price OF $500, but
shortly before the gift was deliv-
cred the broker was killed in a
plane crash. The executors of his
estate fatty refused to pay for the
car, arguing that the mans death
made it impossible" to carry out
the contract. However, the court
disagreed and ordered the auto
maker paid in full. The judge
pointed out that all the broker had
contracted to do was to pay $500

PUBLIC OPINION
Editor The Herald;

Editor The Herald;
A boy cam into Clintwood on
Tuesday night from Brrshy Ridge
to start to Bristol the next morn
ing at 7:30 for his army examina
ton. His family had no automo-
bile, and there is no early bus
service from that direction. It
seems that he had little choice
about being here on time Wednes
day morning. He had to come
Tuesday night.
Well, he got here. He had ex-
pected the draft board to find
him lodging, but the board has no
funds for that purpose. He was
wondering where he was going to
stay that night, with only fifty
cents in his poscket. A man hear
ing Of his plight, took the boy to
the Jail, where he was allowed
to sleep that night
There may be a lot of boys
coming in from distant parts of
the county in the same condition
in the future. Won't the citizens
of this town provide lodgings for
such boys? I, for one, have room
for a boy. Who else?
