Revocation of a Will
O’Hara, now deceased, had
many times told his family
thait the will he executed
some 25 years ago was no
longer effective. 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ed the will out of date and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His out of date will was still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.

column as a public service.
No person should apply or in
terpret any Jaw without the

completely advised of the
facts involved. Even a slight
variance in fact may change
the application of the law.)

To whom this may concern.
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.

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.

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.
