Oregon Supreme Court Decisions
Salem - HOT - The Oregon
Supreme Court Wednesday
ruled that a child not legally
adopted after being aban
doned remains a legal heir
of his natural mother.
The ruling came when the
high court reversed a de
cision from the Washington
County Circuit Court of
Judge J. S. Bohannon, and
remanded the case back to
the lower court for further
proceedings.
The lower court had ruled
that Harold J. Hughes had
been legally adopted, but
Hughes appealed the order
on grounds h i s natural
mother had never signed the
adoption paper.
The Supreme Court ruled
that although the child had
been abandoned by his nat
ural mother, Mona Lawanda
Nelson, he was still her legal
heir.
Tax Judge Upheld
The Supreme Court upheld
a decision by Oregon Tax
Court Judge Peter M. Gun
nar which held that a gift in
trust for charities was non
deductible. Also affirmed by the high
court was an action by the
Multnomah County Circuit
Court of Judge Alan M. Da-

the jury's verdict and set a
new trial because improper
evidence had been intro
duced during the first pro
ceedings. The high court affirmed a

Not long ago Griffin Creek
purchased the orchard behind

going to make it into a foot

We had a Kick-off Carnival

Everyone hopes we will have
a beautiful field by next fall
on which to play our games.

We are looking forward to
summer fun. We will make it
a fun time by obeying safety
rules. Will you? 1. Don't swim
without an adult. 2. Never
eat wild berries; they may be
poisonous. 3. Be careful of
poison ivy and poison oak. 4.
Don't play In dangerous
places like streets used by
cars. 8. Be careful when rid
ing in a car. Sit downl Be
quietl Don't put your hand
out of the window. Don't do
tricks. 6. When riding your
bike, know and obey traffic
rules.
One Japanese doll is fairly
large and another sits crying.
These dolls are on display In
the hall now, but next year a
new cabinet will be made and
they will be shown In the library.
