ance on a private basis.

or reconstruction of approved prop-j

services of private insurance car
riers to the fullest degree possible

ment from that agency. That was

NEED OF A HI!,I,
What is a will?
A will is a written document in j
which you state who Is to own your '
property after your death. By it j
you name the persons whom you j
wish to benefit or protect. An ex
ecutor is named in it to collect
your assets, pay your creditors and
funeral expenses, and in general
to wind up and settle your estate.
If you make a will, you may to
a very large extent designate just
how your property is to be used
after your death. You may. for ex
ample, give the use or income of
property to your wife for the term
of her life and upon her death the
absolute ownership to any one or
all of your children.
What is the difference between
an executor or administrator''
An executor is the person a
testator has named in his will as
the one he wants to administer his
estate. An executor is not general
ly required to give a bond. This is
because the testator must have
had confidence in the honesty and
integrity of the person or else he
would not have selected and nam
ed him.
An administrator is a person ap
pointed by the clerk of the super
ior court to administer the estate
of a decedent when there is no
will. He mav also be a person ap
pointed by the clerk of the supej^
ior court when there is no executor
named in the will or the person
named in the will has died, re
signed. or is incompetent. An ad
ministrator is required to give a
bond.
Both an executor and an ad
ministrator receive a commission
Jack Holder, president; Leona Da
vis, vice president; Joyce Coward,
secretary, and Nancy Phillips,
treasurer.
Freshman class officers are: Ron
nie Gribble, president; Woodrow
Davis, vice president; Judy Smiley,
secretary, and Judy Ferguson,
treasurer.
W? have confidence in these
students and believe they will do j
a good job.
The Sub-Deb Club had its first !
meeting of the new term and
planned a schedule of activities.
Friday morning the first pep ses-j
sion will be held by the new cheer-1
leaders: Linda Rhinehart. Linda
Jones. Nancy Noland, Arbie Turn
er, Kyle Edwards, Hugh Moody,
and Henry Jenkins, We hope this
pep session will arouse the football I
spirit for the coming season.
The student bodv wishes to ex
press its sympathy to the J. C.
Patrick family Mrs. Patrick serv
ed faithfully for many years at
WTHS.
for services rendered.
What happens to the property of
a person who dies without a will?
After the debts and ftineral ex
penses of the decedent arc paid,
the balance is distributed in ac
cordance with a rigid formula pre
scribed by the General Assembly.
In other words, if you have not
seen fit to make a will, the law
will dispose of your property for
vou. This disposition may not be !
in accordance with your desire*. |
The failure to make a will may
bring hardships and added ex
pense for your immediate family
or those that are closest to you.
Occasionally a portion Or all that
a person owns will go to a dis
tant relative that never knew the
decedent.
The "interstate laws", which
provides for the disposition of the
pi-operty of persons who have not
left a will, are not the same in all
states. They are shanged from time
to time in North Carolina
Is it cheaper to die without a
will''
No. The administrator of an
estate without a will has limited
powers of action, whereas an ex
ecutor may be given broad powers
of action which will effect a sub
stantia] saving to the estate. A
carefully drawn will can and often
does reduce taxes and other ex
penses.
What is a codicil"
A codical is a written document
| that amends or changes on existing
valid will. It will be executed with
all the formality required by a
will.
A will is not made public until
after the maker's death. It mav be
changed or revoked at any time.

billion tons of top soil to erosion
