Pa. A heavy rain storm accom panied by tornado-like winds hit Lancaster city and county July 1, 1931. At Lancaster 18 houses were unroofed on Frank lin Street. The contents of sev eral of the dwellings were dam aged by falling debris and ram No one was reported hurt. Con siderable property damage also was reported at Manheim, where a cloud-burst turned the streets into muddy creeks Heavy ram fell in the southern end of the county but no dam age was reported Q. A man purchases a prop erty while 1m is single. Later, he gets married and puts said property in both names. Sev -3i al years later, he gets di vorced. Is the ex-wife still en titled to half ownership in the property? G. M. MtW A. The husband made a gift to his wife of an undivided one half interest in the property. This gift is not revoked by the divorce. Although he can now enforce a division of the prop erty, which he could not do while they were married, the husband cannot regain the wife’s one-half interest without paying her the fair > market price of same, or whatever less she will agree to take. Q. The day before Thanksgiv ing I slipped and fell, breaking my wnst, at a counter in a chain store. The manager took my name and address and said an insurance man would be around and I should go to a doctor. The doctor said he would see that I got my ex penses paid. However, so far for granted. That was our independence • our freedom - which, among other things, lets us enjoy our leisure time in any manner we wish. This Independence Day, remember that our freedom must be nurtured, protected, exercised. Some times, it’s a long, hard job. Always, it’s everybody’s job. Y * ♦ * * • • nobody has come to see me. When I went to the doctor for the third time last Friday, he said he did not think the in surance company would pay anything since it happened in daytime. Could you tell me if this is true 7 E F A The time of day that your accident happened should make ho material difference in your claim The issues are whether the store or its employees were guilty of any negligence which caused your injury, and whether you may have been contnbutor ily negligent. Contact the store manager about your claim, and if you' hear nothing from him or the store’s insurance com pany, it is suggested you con sult an attorney who would ad vise you how to proceed fur ther. w • * Q My wife left me in Octo ber, 1954 She took practically all the furniture and moved to an apartment in another town. She has been working since she left me and never claimed any support from me She had a baby three weeks ago and is not woiking at the present I do not claim the baby is not mine. Do I have to support her and the baby or just the baby alone’ G S. A You are presumed to be the father of your wife’s child because you are still legally married You are responsible for the support of your wife and child unless you can con vince the court that your wife’s desertion gives you valid ground for divorce, which would thus be a good defense ! to her claim for support Even if you were successful with this defense you would nevertheless be responsible for the support of the child. MIDWEST WEATHER Hot days and night showers —good corn growing weather— gave midwestern crops a boost last week. lowa pastures were reported very dry, furnishing little forage Illinois grams and grasses were slow, with half of the crop reports showing defi cient soil moisture. The reason that hard work kills so few people is because there is so few people that work hard. 1955.
