Answer to Television-Dining Problem
aJiiK.
By EDNA MILES
The custom of dining in front
of the television has been termed
a barbaric one. Food must be bate
anced on a lap tray. Frequently
the whole family feeling is dis
rupted for Jhe evening.
Those who feel they mus(
watch TV while they eat, will be
cheered to khow they now can
do it more gracefully.
One large maker of TV sets has
designed a video unit which is
placed in a drop-leaf buffet top
so that the antennae can be
pulled up unobstructed. The set
can be removed from the buffet
table making it completely port
able.
In addition, the company has
designed six different custom
made styles to choose from.
As well as the drop-leaf cart,
there , is a Danish walnut table,
a triangular table that fits into a
corner, a miniature sideboard and
a mobile cart or swivel stand to
house your television set.
The furniture can be bought
with the set from a television
dealer.
Convenient for dining is this television set placed in fable.

ORAL MORTGAGE
Joe Jones owned a farm that
was worth $50,000. Needing $2,000,
he went to see Tom Tucker for the
purpose of negotiating a loan far
this amount.
It was orally agreed, in the pre
sence of several witnesses, that
Jones' should convey Ms faun to
Tucker by an ordinary deed and
(that the delivered) deed should
stand as a mortgage to secure the
loan of $2,000 and Jones should
have as much as three years to re
deem the same. Jones executed and
delivered the deed and got the loan
of $2,000 on the basis of this agree
ment.
Two years later Jones tendered
to Tucker the $2,000, with interest,
and requested the re-conveyance
of has farm. Tucker refused to re
convey the farm. He had decided,
subsequent to the making of the
•ral agreement, that he liked the
farm and wanted to keep its own
ership.
. Does Jones have a legal remedy?
No. Jones has conveyed to Tuc
ker his farm by an absolute deed
and Jones no longer has any rights
of ownership in the farm. He has
disposed of has $50,000 farm for
$2,000.
This was an actual case decided
by the Supreme Court of North
Carolina. Jones and his witnesses
