Harold’s partner lay Hying.
“Niake me one last prom-
ise,” he whispered to Harold.
“My wife doesn’t know a thing
ab^uCbusiness. Will you keep
an eye on her affairs after I
am gone?”
Solemnly, Harold promised.
But a few months afterward,
he informed the widow that
he no Ipnger had the time to
help her. .Left on her own,
she soon made some costly
blunders. Binning her woes on
Harold, she filed a damage
suit aga nst him for breaking
the promise'he had made to
her dyine Hsband.
But the court held Harold
not liable, since the promise
he had made vas strictly one-
sided—hence not a legally
binding contact. The judge
said promises of this kind
“create bare moral obligations,
binding cidy on the con-

This is a generaf rule, that
moral obligations are not en-
forceable in a court of ,law.
It is based on the practical
difficulties of measuring such
intangible qualities as honog
and duty and love.
Nevertheless, there is a rftt-
uraF reiiiclance on the part
ox the courts to* let the breaker
of a promise “get away with
it”—if that can fairly be
avoided.
For this reason a promise
will usually be enforced if
there is, in addition to the
moral obligation, some sem-
blance of a iegal obligation to

TO TAXPAYERS
AUSTIN — When the owners
of Texas?seven million motor
vehicles'get their 1970 license

Owners will receive motor

If y to conveTiicnce.
7 m previous years, the vehi-
cle owner had to hunt up his
urtificate of title and last
year's receipt and take them
iio the tax office or a sub-
station. Often, he found him-

nioving line.

is the three part form — the
motor vehicle registration ap-
plication — that came in the
