He consider ed the will out of date and had told his wife to destroy it the next time she ran a- cross it. His wife, however, neglect ed to locate the old will. It was not found until after O’Hara’s death. The will favored one of the sons, who claimed the will was valid. Mrs. O’Hara was in doubt, but since she was nam ed exectrix in the will she of fered ft for probate. This was proper, for it is the duty of one who has possession of a will at the testator’s death to produce it in court. The court found that O’ Hara’s will was in existence at the time of death and proper ly executed. It was, therefore, valid even though many years old. OHara could have revoked the will up to the time he died, but he did not effective ly do so. The law protects testators by requiring an af firmative act of revocation. This prevents his heirs from testifying he said he wanted to revoke his will, when in fact he did not. A will may be revoked by the one whose will it is or by someone else—at his direc tion and in his presence—by cancelling or destroying the will physically, such as by burning it up or tearing it to pieces. Oregon requires two witnesses to the destruction. Sometimes a testator’s subse quent marriage revokes a will. The most effective and sur est way to revoke a will,, how ever, is by making a new will, properly prepared and execut ed, stating that all prior wills are revoked. O’Hara had proper intent to revoke, but he failed to act properly to carry it out. In tention alone is not enough. His out of date will was still good.

Recently we returned home from a fishing trip and found 2 horses tied up in our front yard across the street in a duplex yard. And at that time I talked to the police commissioner a- bout it and they were remov ed. The other day Art White came down from Lyons and we counted 1 yellow, 1 Sia mese and 7 black cats all in one bunch and as we looked the other way there was 4 dogs with one of them tied up and the other 3 dogs run ning loose. Now I have spoken to the Police Commissioner also the Chief of Police with no results. Now for the last four nights there has been nothing but the cats a scrapping and the dogs a barking all night long. So that you can’t even get a good nights sleep. This is my question. Now should I quit fighting them and join them by bring ing in more dogs and cats, or should I just leave my home and go on another fishing trip for the rest of the summer. Your Neighbor Al Pease. Settlers Guessed About Medicine American medical tradition stems from an age very different from the one in which we now live, points out TODAY’S HEALTH GUIDE, the American Medical Association's manual of health information for the Ameri can family. The early settlers, living re mote from civilisation, turned to the traditions of their ancestral homelands and to the methods of the Indians, and came up with a medical lore all their own. Their ideas of prevention and treatment were not all wrong, but often they did more harm than good. Some of the common misconcep tions of the frontier era have car ried over into modem times. TODAY’S HEALTH GUIDE lists the facts about some of these misconceptions— • Blood pressure of 100 plus the individual's age is not the normal value. • Red meats and alcohol are not necessarily harmful to those with high blood pressure. • Fish is not a brain food, it is simply a good food for all parts of the body. • Sweets, while possibly detri mental to the teeth, are not the sole cause of tooth decay. • There is no reason of health why one should not eat shellfish and ice cream at the same meal, provided neither of them is spoiled. • Lemons, oranges, tomatoes CHUCKLE and grapefruit do not cause “arid ity’’ of the body. • Fat people are not necessarily carefree and jolly. • Being fat and 40 and feeling well does not constitute a good reason for declining to lose weight. • It is not necessarily unwise to drink water with your meals, if you don't gulp it. • Gargles and mouthwashes do not kill the germs in the mouth or throat. • Boils are not due to impure blood. • Punctures from rusty nails are no more dangerous than punc tures from shiny nails; the danger lies in the germs that either one may introduce. • Night air is not unhealthfuL However, it is not necessary to open the windows of your bed room wide at night, especially when it is cold. • Whiskey with aspirin is not a good remedy for a cold. The cold might improve in spite of it. 11/6/67 CORNER ON TARGET EVERY TIME Smart bridee always ckooee our famous flower Wedding Line Invitations Featuring 5 new scripts Rantiam Memorial Hospital (Stayton) McCAULEY — To Mr. and Mrs. Charles W.

NUTRITION — THE SCIEN CE FOOD AT WORK "Nutrition” is an often-mus- understood word, according to Oregon State University’s Ex tension food and nutrition specialist, Marie Tribble. Many people believe it is too scientific to understand and too involved for them to ap ply in their day-today selec tion of food. What is nutrition and what does it mean to you? “Nutrition is the science that deals with food at work— food on the job for you” Miss Tribble explains. “It is the simple process of nourishing the body—of supplying it with fuel for proper function ing.” When you and your family eat the right food, it does far more than just keep you alive and going. Modern kowledge of food at work brings a new kind of mastery over life. The right food promotes health and vitality. It can ev en help you to stay young longer, postponing old age. An individual well fed from in fancy is more likely to enjoy a long prime of life. But at any age, you are better off when you are better fed. They provide materials for the bodys building and repair. Tis sue and bone are composed chiefly of protein, minerals, and water. Children must have these food materials to grow on; the body continues to require supplies for upkeep throughout life. Food provides body regula tors. Vitamins do important work in this line, and miner als and protein, too. Food provides fuel for the body’s energy and warmth. There Is some fuel in every food. There are about 50 nutrients —chemical substances that the body is known to require from food—ranging from Vi tamin A to the mineral zinic. You can put nutrition know ledge to use without being in troduced to all of the body’s “A to Z” needs. When daily meals provide the key nu trients, you can be reasonably sure of getting the rest. “Food for Fitness—A Daily Food Guide,” available from your Linn County Exterwion Office, P. O. Box 765, Albany 97321, is an excellent guide for planning meals to assure you of getting the key nutrients every day. 1he Old. 1i/muu tërAvatoitë. ¿ fata te* Mon and mon brides an finding they can have the luxury look they love and still keep on the sunny side of their bridal budget with exquisite Regency stationery.
