Estate Fight
Albany Intervention of
circuit court In distribution of
property valued at $61,284.09
included in the estate of the
late Frank C Pate is asked by
his stepdaughter, Natheel Don
aca Irwin.
Named as defendants are the
First National Bank of Fort
land, administrattor of the es
tate; James Pate, a brother,
Minnie Morris and Naomi
Schissler, sisters and Naomi
Beebe, a niece, all heirs at law.
The plaintiff avers that the
late Mr. Pate and his late wife,
Belle Pate, married in 1911,
had mutually agreed that each
would make a will bequeathing
to the other all property In
his or her estate for the life
of the survivor, with the pro
vision that upon the death of
the survivor their jointly own
ed property should become the
property of Mrs. Irwin.
' The plaintiff noted that she
was the daughter of Mrs. Belle
Pate by a former marriage and
was 10 years old at the time
her mother re-married. The
plaintiff alleges that each made
a will in conformity with this
agreement and never revoked
it.
Mrs. Pate died April, 13,
1944, the plaintiff asserts. On
Nov. 15, 1947 Mr. Pate married
Mabel Beauchamp, the com
plaint states, after the two had
made a pre-nuptial agreement
whereby Mrs. Beauchamp
waived all rights to the Pate
estate, In return for which Mr.
Pate likewise waived all rights
to property owned by Mrs.
Beauchamp at the time of their
marriage.
Mr. Pate died Sept. 8, 1952,
the plaintiff notes, and his es
tate is-now held in trust by the
defendant bank.
The plaintiff asks that the
court order enforcement of the
contract entered Wo between
F. C. Pate and Belle Pate for
assignment of the estate to Mrs.
Irwin. - - . ,

pick them up. If not, grab your
dad or mom and dash down to
register. You will get your of
ficial rule book and your Derby
driver's license and you can
pick up your wheels at the
same time If you wish.
Incidentally, If any of your
are having problems in the
building or planning of your
racer, Chief Inspector Bill Page
says to hang on, help la com
ing. First, says Bill, inspectors
will be assigned the areas in
the next couple of weeks so
that they can check your work
and you can ask them Ques
tions. (We ran a story In the
Journal earlier this week ask
ing for volunteers and Bill
says he had IS calls the first
evening, so you can see how
dads and other adults are get
ting behind the Derby pro
gram.) '
Secondly, Bill says, a special
full-size model racer will ' be
built next week that will really
be the cats whiskers.
It will be put together In
such a way that everything
will be hinged or latched so'
that you can open it up and get
inside to take a close look at
anything that puzzles you.
The special car will be built
by boys in a Salem high school
manual training class under the
supervision of Instructor Mar
lon Davis. : Official approval
has been given by Principal Ed
mund A. Carlton and Salem
School Superintendent Walter
Snyder.
More than 60 boys are al
ready signed up at McKay's
and more in other towns, so
this first group of wheels will
probably go out in a hurry.
Others will be ordered as they
are needed.
Incidentally, we're going to
start running names ot the boys
next week, so you will know
how many of your friends have
signed up. In about another
month, McEwan's Photo Shop
will start taking pictures of
the derbylsta to be run in the
Capital Journal again this
year.
Time Is getting shorter, so if
you haven't started building
your racer yet, you'd better
get busy- now. j
