LurTUE LAW
A PUBLIC SERVICE OF THE
COLLEGE OF LAW, WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY
John Smith had a run of bad
luck. Two years ago he broke his
leg in an automobile accident and
the plant where he worked closed
down. By the time his leg had
healed and he was able to walk,
most of his life savings had been
spent and he owed debts amounting
to $3,000. Some of his creditors
filed suits and obtained judgments
against him. He got a new job but
soon lost it for the reason that
several o his creditors brought
"garnishment proceedings," seek
ing to collect the amounts due
them from his wages. His employe
er simply would not be bothered
by the garnishment proceedings
month after month.
John finally filed a petition in
bankruptcy. In due time a dis
charge in bankruptcy was given
to John and he managed to get
and hold a good job.
One day after John secured his
discharge in bankruptcy and after
he got his new job, another gar
nishment proceeding was brought
seeking to collect from John's wag
es. John boiled with anger and
went to his employer and said:
"They can't do that to me. I went
through bankruptcy and was dis
charged from my debts." John's
employer urged him to see a law
yer and John did so. The lawyer
examined the records in the court
and learned that John had been
sued by one of his old creditors
for a debt he owed when he filed
his petition in bankruptcy.
When the lawyer told John about
the suit, John told the lawyer that
he remembered having been sued,
but that he had thrown the sum
mons in the waslebasket and had
done nothing to doend the suit.
He told his lawyer: "That creditor
couldn't sue me. I've been through
bankruptcy and have a discharge
which wipes out the debt I owed to
that creditor."
John is wrong, unfortunately.
While the discharge he secured
did discharge most of his debts,
it did not wipe them out complete
ly. The moral and legal obligation
to pay the debts still exists. The
discharge is a good defense to a
discharged debt but it has no ef
fect unless it is raised when suit
is brought on the debt.
John should have answered the
summons. In his answer he should
have set forth the fact of his dis
charge. He should then have ap
peared at the time the case was
tried and should have offered his
discharge in evidence.
This column is to present gen
eral principles of law. It is not to
Da taken as legal advice. Slight
changes in the facts of a case may
phange its outcome.

Hollywood for "The Blue Anrel." She re-enacli the berr
ball entertainer role which Marlene Dietrich made famous.
CELERY from Salinas is very
good and the market steady, but
the demand is down a bit. Cab
bage, also from Salinas, is of ex
cellent quality, being very solid
and green. Cofh is in abundance
from the lndio district, and the
market is edging down daily. Peas
are about through until new vari
eties from northern California and
Oregon come on the market. Snap
beans, Kentucky wonders from
Mexico, are down in price at the
retail level and improved.
OREGON ASPARAGUS is about
all that remains on the market, but
it is of excellent quality. Some of
lesser quality is coming in from
Washington. Cauliflower from Cali
fornia is back on the market, the
quality is improving and the price
is dropping. Broccoli is of margin
al quality, as it is flowering fast,
but there is some good quality
available. Excellent egg plant,
smaller in size and better quality,
and peppers from the Imperial and
Coachilla Valleys are on in good
supply, and the prices are drop
ping. Field run cucumbers are
coming on fast from Bakersfield,
and the market is coining down
fast. Several summer varieties of
squash are available. Artichokes
are practically through for the
season.
Lots of good eating tomatoes,
cheaper now in price, are avail
able from the lndio region. While
off in appearance, the quality is
described as verv good.
THE CANTELOUPE market has
weakened considerably, with the
coming on of new crops from the
Imperial Valley. The quality if
much improved over that of for
mer years at this time. While the
price is still high, it is dropping.
Watermelons from the same area
likewise are of very good qual
ity. They are green, and about
medium sized. The price to con-1
sumers on the rptail stands is off
considerable over that of the last
few weeks. Some markets will be
featuring them.
WINESAPS remain the best buys
in apples. They are plentiful. A
few delicious are showing up but !
are of poorer Quality. i
Oregon strawberries mad their
appearance in local markets this
week, hut the main supply is com
ing in from Watsonville California.
The supply will not meet the Me

there are will be of superior qual
lty.
