CONTRACTS USEFUL AND ,
IMPORTANT IN
DAILY LIFE
Historians often amuse them !
selves by trying to list the ten
most important inventions of all
times. They invite us to pay
tribute to the unknown geniuses
who invented ways of using fire,
the lever, the wheel, and many
other such useful things.
But great and useful as the
material inventions have been,!
there is yet another class of use-
ful ideas and devices which j
have served mankind and with-'

out which we would have lost
much of the benefits of our ma-
terial discoveries.
One of the most simple and1
remarkable ideas in this class is
the idea of a contract. Possibly j
extending back into the prehis-
toric times, the idea in its simple
outlines is found in one form or;
another in the earliest recorded ■
writings of man. The application
of the concept has grown and I
changed to meet the conditions!
of every age, but the essential j
idea of a contract has always I
remained simple.
What is the basic idea of a
contract? Simply that two or
more persons are willing to bind
each other to play some specific
part in the accomplishment of a
purpose which mutually agreed!
to be desirable, each party ex- i
pecting to gain some benefit I
from the transaction. The very j
simplicity of this idea, and its;
almost universal applicability to
IN TEXAS
the affairs of men, Is its great
merit.
Contracts make possible most
of the things we undertake in
modern life. Particularly with-
out exception we carry out our
daily work under the terms of
some contract. We are able to
plan ahead because of the as-
surance that our contracts will
be enforceable at law if need
be.
Every person who rents, leases
or buys a home—everyone who
buys a car, washing machine,
groceries or almost any other
thing or service— is doing so un-
der some contract, written, spok-
en or understood.
Every marriage is a contract.
And most of the personal and
real property owned in texas is
owned under the law of com-
munity property which arises
out of the marriage contract and
its implied and expressed obli-
gations and rights.
Workers and employers pro-
Highway traffic during the
Christmas holidays is always
heavy and is made more danger-
ous by unfavorable weather con-
ditions. The State Farm and
Ranch Safety committee urges
all motorists to take an extra
day for traveling this Christmas
rather than taking chances that
may lead to disaster.

duce the goods of our economic
life under some form of contract.
The trains, trucks and planes
which carry those goods are
governed by contract. The Fed
eral Government makes con
tracts with the several states
with businesses within the states
with individuals and groups
Your insurance policy is a con
tract. Your train, bus or plane
ticket is a contract.
Obviously, a device which
we use so frequently cannot al-
ways be handled with a great
amount of ceremony and red
tape. There simply isn't time for
extended formalities upon every
occasion in which a contract
comes into being.
Yet, to many people, the mere
mention of the word "contract"
brings visions of lengthy docu-
ments, written in legal terms of
many syllables, and executed
with elaborate ceremony.
While this picture does no!
apply to the great majority of
situations, contracts should not
be taken lightly in spite of their
frequent and informal use. For
by law, we must live up to our
end of each such bargain.
The main thing each of us
needs to know is when our words
and actions will serve to create
a contract. Knowing this, we are
in a position to weigh and de-
termine the advisability of going
ahead. We can consider our
ability to go through with all of
the obligations imposed upon us
by the prospective contract and
ponder the consequences of pos-
sible inability to meet those obli-
gations.
