AID TO SCHOOLS.
Federal aid for the construc

of Federal funds to meet school
operating expenses, is now be
ing considered by the Eisenhow

Congress a broadened and im
proved program of Federal as
sistance to help erase the class
room deficit,” according to Ma

“It’s the Law” with simple an

Q What is meant by the term
“Unauthorized Practice of the
Law” and why do~ Bar Associa
tions have a special committee
'on Unauthorized Practice of the
Law 7 O. Z.
A The unauthorized practice
of the law consists of the pre
paration of legal documents and
the giving of legal advice by
persons who are not attorneys
at-law, The real reason Bar As
sociations have a special com
mittee on the Unauthorized Prac
tice of the Law is to protect the
public against the costly mistakes
which are made when persons
other than lawyers attempt to
prepare legal papers and give
advice. For example, an elderly
spinster who had raised her nep
hew from his early infancy in
tended to prepare a will leaving
him her entire estate which con
sisted of the small home which
they both occupied, She went to
a notary public who purchased
a printed form of will and had
her sign her name at the top of
the will and he signed his name
and affixed notarial seal at the
bottom of the will. When she
dies the will could not be ad
mitted to probate because it was
not signed at the end by her and
she died entestate and her favor
ite pephew with whom she lived
for many years inherited only
1/6 interest in the property and
the other 5/6 interest was divided
among other nephews and nieces
who lived in other parts of the
country and who had not seen
the old lady for years. If the
committee on Unauthorized Prac
tice of the Law of the local Bar
Association had not investigated
this case, this notary public
might still be making the same
fatal mistake in preparing wills
Q. I am to receive $5OOO from
an insurance policy on my de?
ceased husband. Will this money
be subject to taxation? C.T.
A. If the proceeds of the policy
are payable ‘to you directly as
the principal beneficiary there
under, no Pennsylvania Transfer
Inheritance Tax would be due
Depending on the size of your
husband’s testate, and the terms
of his will, there might be some
liability for Federal Estate Tax
on this sum. An attorney could
answer this question for you
after investigation of these mat
ters.

Garbage-Fed
Hogs Not Cause
Of Trichinosis
HARRISBURG Reports that
garbage-fed hogs might be the
source of the initial cases of

Henning, State Secretary of Agri

Every farm supplying hogs to
the distributor of pork sausage
to which the early cases were
traced has been inspected by
agents of the Bureau of Animal
Industry. None of the farms was
feeding either raw or cooked
garbage, Dr Henning said
Investigations by veterinarians
resulted from information receiv

Berwyn F Mattison, State Sec

“All types of hogs are capable
of harboring trichina parasites,
whether they are grain-fed or
garbage-fed,” Dr. Henning em

safe to eat is well-cooked pork.
“Trichinosis in humans readily
can be traced to the eating of
