Postmaster Walter Korisko an
nounces the Inauguration of a
new type Of collection service on
March Is, 1856, at the South Oma-
ha Post Office, oath and M
Streets. Two Of the new type
red, white, and blue courtesy col
lection boxes will be installed at
this location, one labeled for
Local mail and the other for
"Out-of-Town" mail.
Following is a brief explana-
ton of the operation of the new
service and why it is being estab-
lished:
All stamped letter mail must
pass through four basic opera
tions before it is dispatched
| to destination; facing, cancella-
ton, primary distribution, and
secondary distribution. The elm
ination Of one or more of these
operations will naturally result
in a material saving of time and
n:anpower.
1t is interesting to note that the
Omaha Post Office processes ap-
proximately 100000 letters daily
and a break down of this figure
| during the peak mailing period
of the day shows that $4,000 let
ters are handled between 400
and 500 PM, $4,000 between
500 and 600 Pm. and 100000
between 800 and 700 PM.
By tying local and out-of-toWn
letters in separate bundles. and
mailing them in the dual courtesy
boxes, you are helping the post
office save two Of the above oper-
ations, namely; facing and pri-
mary distribution. Frequently
this will result in saving of "a
hours from the time of delivery
at the office of destination.
Data obtained from 16 post Of
fees participating in this program
showed that nearly 1922 Of the
letter mail bypasses the facing
snd primary distribution opera
tions and accounted for a saving
of 152 hours daily or an annual
savings of $4,000.
We feel that this is very
worthwhile program and antici-

Stronger Arlington Law
On Loose Dogs Debated

The Arlington County Board is
caught again between dog lovers
who want their pets to have the
right to roam and homeowners
who want all dogs fenced in or
leashed.
A public hearing on a new dog
control ordinance last night
brought no indication from board
members what action they plan
to take. About so persons at
tended the hearing at Jefferson
Junior High School.
Action on similar measures in
previous years has failed to stop
complaints about dangerous or
destructive dogs.
The proposed ordinance would
give the county the right to i'm
pound dogs running at large. At
present only unlicensed dogs may
be picked up. Owners of licensed
dogs can be fined for letting
their pets out of their control.
Higher Rates at Pound
Charges for keeping a dog in
the county pound would be raised
from rs cents a day to $40.
A penalty would be provided for
keeping destructive as well as
vicious dogs. Compulsory rabies
incubation of all dogs would be
required.
commemorative Attorney
William j. Hassan said that en-
forcement of the present ordi-
nance is difficult because a COM

BALTIMORE, Mar. 81 (P).-
Gov McKeldin planned an at
tempt today to set up machinery
which would force a settlement
of the prolonged city transit dis
pute.
He said last night he would
call for immediate compulsory
arbitration. He asked President
Dale w. Barratt of the Balti-
more Transit Co. and Frank
Baummer, head of the Amalga-
mated Association of Street, Elec-
trio Railway and Motor Coach
Employees local, to meet with him
today.
Gov. McKeldin said at that
time he would direct them to Sc
lect their representatives for the
Board of Arbitration so that we
may proceed as promptly as pos
sible with the next step under
the law"
THE law" referred to the
emergency legislation un d e r
which he seized the transit sys-
tenn March 5. Operations re-
sumed March 9. ending a 39-day
strike. A 15-day mediation pc
riod was set up, but the disputing
parties failed to reach agree
ment.
The law provides that each
side will choose one arbiter and
these two will then select a third.
If this fails, the third will be
selected from a list of five OBJ
tanned from the American Arbi-
tration Association, with the two
parties alternately striking names
until only one remains.

at the same time. If testator moves
to another state, or has land elsewhere,
his will may be upheld where otherwise
it would require revision or be inef-
fective.
There are many litigated cases on
the meaning of presence. The wit
ness must be in testator's presence
when he signs his name. The sense of
sight is the test usually insisted upon
by the courts. Some cases have been
decided on the sense of hearing, but
since the sense of sight is the orthodox
view, it is inadvisable to allow a wit
ness to attest when testator'S back is
turned, when he is on a sick bed in
the next room, or when curtain in
tervenes between teStator and witnesses
in the same room. So the suggestion
is made that all sit down around the
table where all can observe the steps
in the execution of the will.
Naming Executor
In planning will, consider well the
one to nominate as executor; other
wise the court appoints an administra.
tor sometimes a politician). One may

wish to give instruction as to burial,
as to payment and collection of debts,
as to the disposition of personal effects,
as to the disposition of personal prop
erty, as to the disposition of realty, as
to the disposition of any residue in a
general residuary clause.
The Shrinkage of assets in recent
times and the increasing role of taxa
ton has made it necessary to recon-
slider wills drawn some years ago.
Look well to the will and keep it up
to date. Wills are ambulatory and re-
vocable taking effect only at death.
They may be changed at will by revo-
cation, substitution, or addition. Older
wills give outright to the widow share
of a mans estate and distributed the
balance to children. But the new rec
commended model intestate succession
code would make better provision for
the spouse by giving her Il the net
estate if there are issue, or the first
$4,000 and II the remainder of the
estate if there are no issue but parents
or brothers or sisters or their issue,
and all of the net estate if there is no
issue or parents or issue of a parent.
It would seem that testator would want
to do as well for the widow by his will.
Keeping viii Up-to-Date
After one has made a will, codicilS
are often used to keep it up-to-date.
They are usually executed with the
same formality as the original will.
However, in jurisdictions recognizing
a Telegraph, testator may execute a
Telegraph to a formal witnessed will
In general, codicils are rather risky;
they lead to litigation sometimes. Il
excessive changes are planned, it is
better to rewrite the entire will.
A common fallacy is that one mus
destroy an old will as preliminary
to uShering in a new will. In Sucl
case, if one should suddenly die, de
ceased may be intestate. However
some cases, after litigation, have de
veloped into cases of revocation unde
circumstances of mistake; the old Wi
is saved under a doctrine of depender
relative revocation.
1t is better to keep the old will intaC
; as the court probates the last will, an
5 in case of inconsistent provisions, tn
last in time is normally testator'S il
tent-so his last will. A formal wi
E messed will need not be dated, and
: two or more such instruments, par
= evidence may be received to determir
Y which is last.

Planning Your EstTe
Have You Made a Will?
BY ]. HOWARD TOELLE, Professor Of Law
Montana State University

his failure to write the place of resi-
dence does not invalidate the will.
In general, testator should not select
his executor, or trustee, or legatee or
devisee, or heir, as witness. Many
wills have been litigated under the doc
trine of incompetent or interested
witnesses. 1t is well to select witnesses
younger than testator who therefore
have a good chance of OUTLYING him.
They should be permanent in the To-
cality. 1t has been said that deceased
witness is less of a problem than one
who cannot be located. An unmarried
woman is not so satisfactory. She may
marry, change her name and so be
hard to locate. physician, nurse,
the attorney-draftsman or business
associate are pretty satisfactory as
types of witnesses.
A satisfactory attestation clause
would read something like this:
''The foregoing instrument consisting
of pages was at the date thereof
signed, published and declared by the
said John Doe as and for his last will
and testament in the joint presence of
us, who, at his request and in his pre-
sence, and in the presence of each 9TH
er, have subscribed our names as wit
nesses."
Executing the Will
The execution of the will should be
in room in which both teStator and
all the witnesses, or at least two, are
present at the time If not a case Of
infirmity or death-bed will, all would
do well to congregate around a table
Let all sit down. Let testator talk in ;
friendly conversational manner for ;
time so that the quality of his mind b,
apparent to the witnesses. Let testato
sign first above the attestation clause
Caution the witnesses to observ
closely. Let testator declare the ir
strument to be his will. Let him re
quest the witnesses, naming them,
witness his will read the attestatio
clause; allow the witness to read i
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1956-12-15

Let the witnesses sign below the attes-
tation clause. Caution testator and the
witnesses to observe this to impress the
matter on the minds of the witnesses.
Who Can Witness
It should be noted that the witnesses
to the will are not the only ones who
can give evidence in court as to what
took place; they are good witnesses
usually because of their near opportu-
nifty to observe. Others present may,
however, testify.
The Montana statutes do not in terms
require mutual presence. However, it
is safer to have the witnesses present
