Recent visitors to .Electra
junior High School may have
been somewhat - startled to ‘
hear * the rhythmic • beat of
Pueblo drums or the plain-
tive chants of Navaho singers
reverberating ’ through the
halls. The strange music came
from a tape recorder set up
in the Electra Youth Museum
located in room 6. The pur-
pose is to idemonstrate to
visitors some of the various
ways in which man expresses
his feelings through music.
India and Tahiti, as well as
other areas, will soon be re-
presented pn the ten minute
tapes which are heard daily
during the noon hour.

Some''“simple” ..legal forms
are available at /stationery

“simple legal problem” is
■ often a contradiction of terms
since that which seems sim-

familiar with the law often
create more problems than
they solve with such “sim-

While’• on the subject of

hope!) is well under way.
Teams of two or three mem-
bers of the Anthropploical So-
ciety have been visiting Dins-
more Elementary School to
give short presentations of
materials or exhibits to be
found in the Museum. Gary
Flusche, Pat Hunter, and
Mike Kimbro plunged in first
with a brief study on the
Samoan Islands, presented to
Mrs. Abbott’s fifth grade
class. Other lecture-exhibits
have been prepared by Mar-
gie Bentley, Brenda Hood,
and Ruth McCullough - the
American Bison; Van Com-
best and Arden Kent - a Mo-
gollon Indian Village; and
George Streit and Emmett
Thomason - a 1904 football
uniform. Other subjects will
become available as exhibits
change.
The Museum is open Mon-
day through Friday during
the school lunch hours, and
will be opened at other times
by appointment. Groups are
especially invited to visit, and
are asked to call 2533 or 3881
to arrange your tour.
Next week we will discuss
the three-dimensional jigsaw

a bank account. He had pro-
vided for his wife, Mrs. Aber-
crombie, over the years by
placing money he earned in a
separte bank account which
she maintained, in which he
had no interest. He felt there
was no need to provide for
her by will and wanted to
benefit his two sons. ?
Mr. Fitch, his neighbor of
many years, had prepared his
will on a "simple” will form
before his death and their
circumstances seemed iden-
tical, They each had a small
estate which they wanted to
leave equally between their
children.
After Mr. Abercrombie died
his sons presented their fa-
ther’s will for probate, believ-
ing the estate would soon be
theirs. However, the “simple”
legal form which by chance
was all right for Mr. Fitch
was not all right for Mr. Ab-
ercrombie. Mr. Fitch was a
widower whose wife had died
years before. Mr. Abercrom-
bie’s wife survived him.
Because he did not know
what the law required, Mr.
Abercrombie provided for his
wife’s well-being after his
death by depositing sums of
money in her account. His
will did not contain any pro-
vision for her.

will did not prevent Mrs. Ab-
