' AGREEMENTS TO MARRY What can a woman do if a man wrongfully "breaches his promise to marry her? In most states, including North Carolina she may sue the man for breach of contract and recover a judgment for damages. She cannot get a court order re quiring the man to go through a wedding ceremony with her. There are no exceptions to this rule. One of the essential elements of a valid marriage would be lacking if a man should be forced by court decree or otherwise to enter into a marriage against his voluntary consent. The amount of damages to be re covered depends upon the wealth of the defendant, the' mortification and ' mental pain suffered by the plain tiff, expenses incurred in prepara tion of the marriage, injury to the plaintiff's reputation, and other things. The woman is not obligated to re turn the engagement ring if the do nor refuses to carry out his promise with legal justification. J In almost a third of the states there have been enacted statutes barring actions for breach of prom ise to marry. They have been call- ) ed "anti-heart balm statutes." No such statutes have been passed in North Carolina and states border ing it. Women with wealthy suitors should maneuver to have their pro posals occur in states were "anti heart balm statutes" do not exist. The validity of a contract is de termined by the law of the state where it is made. , By Rale&i May a man recover damages from" a woman who breaches her contract to marry him? Yes. Does the law require that an en- Igagetment be in any particular form? No. If the conduct and declara tions .of the parties clearly indicate that they regard .themselves as en- . tru traA it i' immnnitArf qI n.o i Kir what We were very glad to have some i eanfl the have arrWed &t that viators at Sunday School at Little Th mn' ncnrrW A birthday dinner was set at the home of Mr .am) Mrs. Ralh King (rf Marshall RFD 8 Sunday, May 18, which waa also, Mother's Day.

Peoria Ha Worm Trouble In Water Standard Of Living The biggest problem the average American family has to face is liv ing like the well-to-do. Residents in Peoria, Illinois, are having worm trouble. .It is not the usual type, and is connected with the water supply, especially in Eastern Peoria. In the eastern third of the city residents have been noticing strange things in the drinking water. After close observation, it was found that the wigglers in the water were white worms. Disturbed by this development and not being eager to enjoy the extra calories worms add to their water, Peoria residents complained to the waterworks company. Officials told uie resiaents mat tne worms were harmless. The official explanation was that the worms came from larvae of small flies which hatch in the city's open reservoirs. The worms have a scientific name, but this isn't too in teresting to residents who are get ting worms through their water taps. They are "chironomous." Officials are having a hard time eliminating the worms from the wa ter supply. As this is written, the problem has not been solved, and thousands of residents of Peoria are getting worms- with their water at no extra cost. Some officials took a rather light view of the whole thing. One doctor noiea mat tne worms constituted no particular danger. In fact, he said, they just add a little more protein to the diet, and harm no one. Since the trend of the times to ward a high-protein diet, that would seem to be the proper mental ap proach. And since the worms are described as being no longer than three-eighths of an inch, it is hardly likely that one could fael them wig gle, very often while drinking the worm-filled water. 4f The GYofWs Most WkWy Used Devotional Guida .

TMNCSWt Read John Jesus stood up and proclaimed, If any one thirst, let him come to me and drink." (John 7:37. RSV.) When I was a child, our family lived on a farm which had a flowing spring of pure, cold water. When any one of us was tired and warm from work or play, he could quench his thirst; the spring was there ready to refresh him. When I accepted Jesus as my Sa viour, I found in Him cleansing, strengthening, and refreshment for every need of my life. Just as the spring quenched m y childhood's thirst and the weariness which came from labor, sr- my spirit has found increasing joy in the never-failing Christ. This living water wells up froini the depths of God's grace. It comes through the glowing beauty of the Bible and the fellowship of the saint?, through communion with God. It flows through all of life, making it bloom and bear fruit. It is available to all who come, seeking and himible, to drink of it. PR A YER O God, Thou hast given us the wa ter of life. Grant that we way nev er forsake the living water avail able in Christ, or seek to contain its blessings for ourselves alone. Help us :to share its refreshment. For our Saviour's sake. Amen. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Jesus said, "The water that I shall give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eter nal life." 1 Florence Zifgler Sanger, Homemaker (Maryland) Creek church Sunday.

Wads Gardin called on Mr and Mrs. Wilson Payse Monday ove r's. ; . - testimony may be sufficient to prove the agreement. , May a suit for breach of promise to marry be brought against a per son less than twenty-one years of age? ' No. Minors are not liable general ly on contracts other than for neces saries. Marriage is not a necessity. This does not prevent, hdwever, a minor from suing a defendant who is of full age. If no time for the wedding has been fixed, when must the marriage occur? Where no time for the wedding has been fixed, failure to perform within a reasonable time may be con sidered a breach. The reasonable ness of time depends upon the cir cumstances of the particular case. The age and , pecuniary circumstanc es of the parties are factors, to be considered. A mere request for the postpone ment of the marriage ceremony for reasonable cause does not amount to repuddatien or breach of the contract to marry, lor each party has a right to a reasonable delay but not a de lay with oui reason or beyond rea son. May man be sued for breach of promise if he discovers that the woman has had sexual relations with another? No. The uncbastity of Hie wom an, if unknown by the man at the time of the promise, is a complete defense for breach of promise td marry in North Carolina. Ttera is a waiver of the defense if tfto man renews i his promise after acquiring knowladgs.
