GOLF NEWS
By LEW DEXTEX
OK, so we lost again, but
we sure had a lot of fun.
Edenton played Robersonville
at Robersonville and we lost
by 28 points. Edenton will
be host the next two Sun
days. April 26 Tar boro will
be here and on May 3 Wil
liamston will play here. I
already have the signup
sheets on the board for both
tournaments, so if you are go
ing to play, please sign in and
also please let me know if you
want a power cart. I have to
know as soon as possible on
the carts so that I can let the
other teams know how many
they can have.
We now have a practice
sand trap at the far end of
the driving range tee, so now
you can practice sand shots.
Also, we have yardage signs
on the range and although
they are too s nail to really
read, the first one is 50 yards
and the rest are spaced 50
yardis apart. So now you can
see how far you are hitting a
shot. Hope to have larger
ones that you can read at a
later date.
What do you think about a
left-hander getting an Eagle?
Well Boy Lane, Jr., got one
on the first hole the other
day. After a booming tee
shot, he put an iron shot right
in the hole. Nice shot, Roy.
I would like to talk a little
bit about rules. I see a lot
of members doing little things
on the course that would cost
them two shots in tourna
ment play, and if you go to a
tournament your opponent is
going to call them on you
and he will be perfectly right
in doing so. Golf is played
by a set of rules like any
other sport As an example,
in bowling you don’t step
over the foul line and if you
do, you are penalized. The
same is in golf. If you do
something against the rules,
you are also penalized. No
one is trying to break any
rules. It’s just that some ctf
us are not aware of all the
rules. Believe it or not there
are a lot of rules in the rule
book that if you know them
will really help you and save
you a shot or two. So, I
would recommend that you
get a rule book and study
them. You will have ques
tions about them and when
you do, bring them to me.
Knowing the rules can save
you shots and embarrassment
OK, ladies. Let’s practice
and get our games in the best
shape because it is time for
the Chowan Golf & Country
Club “Ladies’ Championship.”
You have to play 18 holes to
qualify for a flight Ibis
will be done any day between
the 23rd and 28th of April.
On the day that you plan to
qualify you must come to the
pro shop and state that you
are going to play your quali
fying round and you will be
I given a tournament card. You
| must turn this card in and
Ino other card will be accept
ed Any and all ladies that
wish to play in this club
I championship must sign in at
the pro shop. If you can’t
crane out, call and we will
sign you in. Entry fee for
this championship is $3.00 to
cover the cost of prizes, so
let's go, ladies. Let’s make
this a big affair. It doesn’t
matter how bad or good you
plan because you will be put
in flights and you can win a
prize in your flight and all
have a let of fun. It doesn’t
! matter how you play the
game. Just the fact that you
play. Lots of luck to all you

This Is The Law
By BOBEXT E U1
(For the N. C Bar AnoeUtioft)
INTERSTATE LAWS
What is meant by a per
son dying intestate?
This means that he has
died without a will. The
“intestate laws” are statutes,
enactments of the General
Assembly, setting forth in
detail the disposition of prop- j
erty of those who have died
without a will.
Are the intestate law* the
same in all states?
No. There is a consider
able variance in the intestate
laws of the different juris
dictions.
The intestate laws of North
Carolina are changed from
time to time. They were
completely rewritten by the
General Assembly about 10
years ago.
The laws of inheritance are
at times confusing and tricky.
Moat persons do not know
who will become the owners
of their property at death.
They need to sit down and
talk things over with an at
torney.
Perhaps they need a will
tailored especially to meet
their particular desires and
the needs of their family and
loved ones. And if a will has
been drafted, perhaps it
should be altered in the light
of changes that have taken
place since the making of the
will. Lawyers in advisin?
their clients these days cus
tomarily stress the tax angles
in the disposition of property
at death.
Do not use the form of
some will found in a book or
copy the will of some neigh
bor or relative. The rela
tionships and circumstances
of others may not be the
same as yours. There is an
old legal maxim: “No will
has a brother.”
A resident of North Caro
lina dies during a visit to a
foreign country lelaving real
and personal property in both
Virginia and North Carolina.
There is no wilL The law of
which state determines the
ownership of his property at
his death?
The ownership of the real
property in North Carolina
and the personal property in
North Carolina and Virginia
would be determined by the
intestate laws of North Ca
rolina. The ownership of the
real property in Virginia
would be determined by the
intestate laws of Virginia.
As to real property, the
governing law is that of the
state in which the land is
situated. As to personal prop
erty, however, the governing
law is that of the state in
which the decedent had his
domicile or legal residence,
regardless of where the per
sonal property may be lo
cated.
The VA estimates that in
fiscal year 1971 its Depart
ment of Medicine and Surg
ery will have an average em
ployment of more than
142,000, the highest in its
history.
The Chief of Dental Service
at the VA Center in Wads
worth, Kan., Dr. Dayton D.
Krajicek, was recently named
Assistant Chief Medical Di
rector for Dentistry for the
VA.
According to a VA informa
tion sheet entitled “America’s
Wars," 539 widows and 400
children of Civil War veter
ans were on VA’t compensa
tion and pension rolls as of

Cut Home Painting Casts
NEW YORK (a)—Millions
of homeowners, thanks to
aluminum nails, no longer
worry about those all too fre
quent visits from the house

The average home should
require painting about every
four years, but because of the
unsightly rust streaks left by
conventional nails some hous
es cry for the brush a few
months after the last coat of
paint dries.
A paint job costs about S4OO.

frequent repainting can cost
the homeowner $4,000.
Aluminum nails, however,
never rust, adding years to
the life of a paint job. Hie
reason?—a corrosion resistant
oxide which forms naturally
on every aluminum nail.
With these nails the home
owner can stretch the life
of his paint Job to four, some
times five years, cutting the
cost of repainting in half—
a savings of $2,000.
Aluminum nails are avail
able, factory painted, in all
sizes, colors and types. Rust
resistant, they need no special
primes and can be treated ex
actly like ordinary nails.
