GOING LIKE so
You Needn't
Be Idle in
Retirement

Now that you have, or are
about to have, the rights ano
privileges of retirement, how dc
you feel about it? It's a happy
circumstance when people have
enjoyed their work, but some
times they have liked it so much
they look upon retirement as
being buried alive.
Yet leisure is truly one Of the
greatest privileges we can enjoy
if we work at it. It's not being
idle, but it's learning to do well
the things you have never had
time for, whether it's reading
social service, bird-watching, lee
lures, music, sitting, visit
ing, jewellery making, or a diff
ferent job.
A great woman executive ex-
pressed it recently when she
said: Il love my retirement and
/ have never been so busy in
my life"

LAW IN THE NEWS
Fraud a Tricky Point
InAnnuIIing Marriage

lment is allowed for fraud, the
doctrine followed is that the
fraud must have been a type
that "goes to the heart of the
marriage contract" In other
words, one party must have been
misled in regard to one of the
very basic elements of marriage
such as good character, ability
to have children, freedom from
mental disease. etc.
Trouble arises in deciding
what sort of fraud meets this
requirement.
Usually. for example, fraud is
not sufficient for annulment if
one party has simply lied to the
other about his fame, fortune,
rank, family or reputation"
Sometimes Matter Of Degree
But it sometimes seems a mat
ter of degree. In one case a girl

ly because her sutton lied in tell
ing her he had received a big
raise in salary. The court turned
her down. In another case. an
imaginative young groom passed
himself off as a Harvard football
captain, a decorated war hero
and an heir; he was actually a
ne-er-do-well and had spent
some time in jail for larcency.
This time annulment was al
lowed.
In most places the pre-mari-
tai concealment of a serious mall
'ady, such as epilepsy, will suf-
flee for annulment. But it is not
universal. And there is no rule
of thumb that appears sure-f1re
for determining in advance what
circumstances will constitute
fraud sufficient for annulment.

 Recovering From Weekend Floods
CBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Dry. warm weather today hast ened the recovery of flooded areas of Indiana and Illinois.
 A hot sun began to dry out the speedway at Indianapolis, and thus assured the running of the 50O-mile automobile race there today.
 Indianapolis was placed under a state of flood emergency Mon day by Mayor Phillip L. Bayt. Of- ficials called out more than 2,l0O civil defense workers and ordered policemen to remain on duty.
 The flood troubles of Illinois and Indiana were caused by tor rential rains during the weekend, and in some areas again on Mon day.
 More than 1,5O0 families were forced to evacuate their homes Monday in Indianapolis and sur rounding Marion County after the weekend rains of six to seven inches submerged much of the area. Twenty one schools were closed as main highways blocked off the east and north sides of the city at the height of the deluge. In central Illinois the overflow of the swollen Sangamon River and Salt and Kickapoo Creeks be- gan a slow recession, permitting flood waters to drain from thou sands of acres of rich farmland.
 Heavy cloudbursts over the weekend dumped as much as nine inches of rain on some sections, washing out highway bridges and undermining railroad tracks.
 Swollen creeks led to the drown ing of two Illinois children, 12- year-old boy and a 15-year-olo girl.
