Here’s a car designed to put the sparkle
back into driving.
Chevrolet, you know, won the Auto
Decathlon—a ten-way test of handling
qualities. Chevy also walked off with
the Pure Oil Performance Trophy at
Daytona Beach for “best performing
U. S. automobile.”
How do you like to drive? There’s a
Chevy combination to suit every
motoring mood, from the thrifty Six to
the terrific “Corvette V8,” from the
sports car close-ratio stick shift to the
free-flight feeling of Turboglide or
Powerglide? Sample one soon.

wrote the will? What would hap-
pen to them if things go wrong
and your son should die before
you?
Or take your widowed sister
and her children now. Suppose
you and your immediate family
should be wiped out: Would you
want your property to go equally
to her and to your well-heeled
bachelor brother? Or would you
prefer to leave your brother some
token of your affection, and then
really take care of your sister?
You may be impatient with the
law’s long memory. Such things
never happen, you think, but the
court records are full of plans
which failed. And so the law has
ways in which you can provide for
“what happens—if.” One way is
the device of contingent benefici-
aries in your will and insurance
policies.
(This column., prepared by the
State Bar of Texas, is written to
inform—not to adivse. No person
should ever apply or interpret any
law without the aid of an attorney
who is fully advised concerning
the facts involved, because a
variance in facts may change' the
application of the law.)

In this unpredictable life of
ours, it is the law’s business to
take a long look into the future
and say what would “happen if.”
For in your contracts, leases,
wills, insurance policies, escrows,
and the like, you had better say
what would “happen if” some of
your best laid .plans go awry. Such
events the law calls “contingen-
cies.”
Who gets the “earnest money”
you put down., if you cannot go
through with buying that house?
What if you want to pay up that
loan and save interest? What
happens if a partnership goes sour,
or a partner gets sick or dies?
What happens if the people you
name in your will should die be-
fore you do, or, if you all perish
in a common catastrophe like a
car smashup?
The law is wise but it cannot
do your thinking for you. It set-
tles such questions—but not al-
ways to your liking. If you don’t
make a will, the law says who
shall get your property. If you
leave certain things out of a con-
tract, the law assumes that you
meant to put some ceutain things
in. But how much better it would
be in the first place to put them
in the way you want them, by
asking “what if?”.
Take your will now: Your first
desire, of course, is to take care
of your wife and children—those
nearest to you. But it won’t hurt
anything to put “contingent bene-
ficiaries” in your will in case
something happens to thwart your
first intentions.
Review your will every year or
so to see if it meets the new
things that have come up, or ar-
range with your lawyer to write
in “contingent beneficiaries” —
those who will receive your prop-
erty if your first beneficiaries
should die before you do.
You may long ago have had
your son provided for in your will,
but what about those lovely
grandchildren he and his wife
have presented to you since you
