TB and
the X-Ray Bus
Time was when the TB victim innocently walked the
atreets of his town undetected—and undetectable.
For who had the millionaire’s pocketbook to pay
for examining a whole town of a thousand people to
sieve out one possible victim?
Now comes the x-ray bus, able to be TB detective
for whole cities, for a few pennies a person. Millions
of people now have their TB worries erased when the
doctor says "Okay.”
How long did it take to get the x-ray bus? Well,
for its part, General Electric had been working on
x rays for 57 years. Costs of diagnosis have come
down by better and better equipment. No year passes
without some new development. So this was another
big chapter in a long book of events.
Notice the nice way these buses get into service.
They are usually purchased by voluntary contribu-
tions of plain people trying to get a job done.
It is always hard to write a definition of the "Ameri-
can Way.” But this hand-in-hand achievement of
state and national health associations, General Elec-
tric, and the local communities comes dose to being
a perfect example.

Horn* Purchase Contract
Casual Matter
The signing of a contract of sale
is an extremely important step
in the purchase of a home. Once
buyer and seller have signed, they
are bound by the provisions of
the contract. Their respective legal
rights in the transaction are there-
by set and determined. If the con-
tract is poorly and haphazardly
drawn, a harvest of regret may be
reaped at a later date.
Sales contracts are often called
by other names, such as earnest
money contracts, binders, receipts,
etc. All of them are for the same
purpose and almost without excep-
tion involve the deposit of money
by the buyer. Some require the
seller to put up a good faith de-
posit. The fact that such deposited
sums are usually to be forfeited
in event the depositor later fails
to go through with his specified
contractual obligations lends ad-
ditional weight to the often stated
admonition that no contract should
be signed without complete under-
standing as to its terms.
But many home purchasers (and
sellers) rush to sign a hastily pre
pared contract with very little
knowledge of its contents. The
pressure of time, the informality
of the occasion, the casual appear-
ance of the contract, and perhaps
the fact that a partially printed
form is used may contribute in
causing the true importance of
the act to be overlooked. At any
rate, many are lulled into a lapse
of good business judgment.
Every significant detail of the
bargain should be crystallized in
unmistakable terms in the contract
of sale. Land and fixtures being
sold should be clearly described.
A complete legal description of
the property by lot and block, or
by metes and bounds, is a must,
the street number being inade-
quate by itself.
Articles and fixtures included in
the sale but not always sold with
houses generally should be speci-
fically listed. Included in this cat-

egory are such items as Venetian or may not provide sufficient
blinds, removeable floor coverings,
draperies, air conditioning units
and others. In purchasing proper-
ty under construction, complete
plans and specifications form an
essential part of the agreement.
The price to be paid must, of
course, be specified, along with
method and terms of payment. If
a certain sized loan is a prerequi-
site to the buyer’s ability to com-
plete the purchase, this should be
noted. Sad indeed is the prospec-
tive purchaser who loses his ear-
nest money when a contemplated
loan transaction falls through, his
contract requiring payment of the
entire consideration in cash.
The sales contract should also
state the quality of the title to be
conveyed to the buyer and the
type of title evidence to be fur-
nished. These matters will be fur-
ther explained in a later column.
The buyer’s individual circum-
stances and desires may require
that various matters not mentioned
above be provided for in the con-
tract. A partially printed form may
blank space for the addition of all
essential details in your case.
There is a consistent tendency to
try to squeeze every sales contract
to fit the type of printed form on
hand, omitting or leaving to easily
misconstrued or forgotten oral
agreement many vital provisions.
Do not fall into the “pitfall of the
printed form.” Too many unfortu
nate entanglements have been an-
nounced by clients to lawyers with
the words, “I have just signed a
receipt for a house on Blank
Street. Will you take over now and
see that everything is O. K.?”
