Most of the members of the com-
mittee agreed that a grown child
should support his parents, but they
thought il was a problem too deep
for the law to\ deal with.
*T don’t believe the laws can cor-
rect and enforce every moral obliga-
tion that man owes to man,” said
Representative Williams of Waco.
After debating the matter some time
the committee referred the bill to a
sub-committe to see if it can devise
a lriw that will compel children to
support their aged and infirm
parents. j •
