Q. I would like to know if there
is anv way to have some savings
bonds changed They were bought
several years ago. At that time
my father was living and he was
my beneficiary, but he has since
died. I have sisters, but I would
like to leave the bonds to a little
girl in my care She is no kin
and has not been adopted by me
Her parents are not living Is
there a way to get these bonds
changed over in her name’ Some
of the' bonds have reached mat
urity. A - B
A- If the savings bonds are m
your ufime as owner and are pay
able upon your death to your
father, ttheu you would have the
riglif to obtain the maturity value
of these bonds m cash and to
purchase new bonds to carry out
your\plan to benefit the little
girl in your " care. If she is a
minor, It may be unwise to place
the bonds in her name. The
safest and best plan to follow
would be to take your bonds to
an attorney, discuss the problem
with him and secure his advice
as to the best means of carrying
out your intention.
Q We have two properties
The water on one is clear, cold
well water—the other is muddy,
brackish water. From the pro
jgsrty which has the clear well
jwiter we have a pipe line extend
ing 1400 feet, over the bottom
al! the lake to the second pro
perty. If this well property
should be sold, what type of
action would be necessary to
maintain this water supply and
what rights should be retained
an order to preserve forever this
water supply 9 No question of
right to lay pipe is involved
C H C
A When the well property is
sold, a provision must be incor
porated m the deed, giving the
owner of the other property the
perpetual right to receive water
from the well and an easement
to enter upon the property and
do whatever is necessary to pre
serve and guarantee the water
supply. The well propeity should
not be sold to a purchaser who
will not accept these conditions,
and the necessary provisions m
the deed
Q Five months ago I started
a correspondence radio and tel
evision course Due to my wife’s
illness I find at present I cannot
afford to continue. I wrote the
school stating that I found it
necessary to discontinue for the
time being, but would resume
training as soon as possible. The
answer: You cannot break this
contract and we shall take action
to compel payment Can this be
done? JB.
A. It is probable that you ex
ecuted a written agreement with
the correspondence school which
provides that you must pay for
the entire course, whether you
choose to complete it or not As-

summg that the contract is valid,
and that it was not fraudulently
procured, it is binding upon you,
and you have little recourse
other than to render payment in
full. It would be a good idea to
| show 1 your agreement with the
school to your attorney, who
might find something which
renders the contract unenforce
able, or who might arrange a
compromise and settlement with
the school

Bans on Fishing
Are Restricted
HARRISBURG Pennsy
vania anglers were reminded to
day by William Voigt, Jr, Ex
ecutive Director of the Fish
Commission, that the March 14
to April 15 ban on fishing in the
Commonwealth #ill apply only
to ponds, lakes and sections of
streams and rivers that have
been stocked with trout during
the past year or scheduled for
such stocking prior to April 15
The 1951 Act of Legislature
which placed many of the State’s
wateis “out of bounds” during
the month preceding trout sea
son, even though they were not
trout wateis, was amended late
last year The amended act be
came effective immediately and
re-opened hundreds of miles of
streams and many lakes and
ponds to early season fishermen
seeking suckers and panfish
Closed March 14 April 15
Meanwhile, waters which have
been or about to be stocked with
trout wills again be closed to all
fishing from midnight, March 14
to 5 a m , April 15
In further explanation of the
act, the Commission’s Director
pointed to the provision: “that a
person shall be deemed to be
fishing if he shall have in his
possession any fishing line, rod
or other device which can be
used for fishing while on or in
any water or on the banks of
anv water where fishing is pro
hibited. ” mm
In accordance with the act,
ponds and lakes that are ap
proved trout waters and in which
fishing is prohibited have been
so posted by the Commission.
Will Issue Booklet
Last year’s action by the
Legislature also provided: “The
Commission shall publish a book
let indicating the waters and
sections of waters in which fish
ing is permitted during the clos
ed season, and shall distribute a
copy of the booklet to each
licensee at the time the license
is acquired.”
Such a booklet has been pub
lished and though incomplete, it
does list some of the waters in
An inquest, ordered by Chester county
authorities, was conducted by Deputy
Coroner Ernest Schneider, Oxford, in the
Union Fire Co. Building. It was ordered
by District Attorney John E. Stively, West
Chester.

from the two-room dwelling. What was left
of the house had to be torn apart in order
