LEON ADICKES
District Governor
Visits Lions Club
Leon Adickes of Hemphill,
district governor of Lions Dis
trict 2S-1, made an official vis-
it to the Silsbee Lions Club at
their regular meeting at .noon
Tuesday in the banquet room
of the Blue Bonnet Cafe.
Adickes, who is active in
Hemphill civic work and has,
served on the Hemphill city
council for lfi years, is a char-
ter member of the Hemphill
Lions Club and has a 14-year
perfect attendance record at
club meetings. He is a graduate
of the University of Texas, Phi
Beta Kappa, is married and has
two daughters.
The new leader of this dis-
trict’s 60 Lions Clubs, paying
his first official visit to Silsbee,
spoke to local Lions and guests
on Lionism.
The district governor was in-
troduced by Ernie Dietrich,
who also introduced two other
visiting Lions, V. E, “Red” Mc-
Gee of Woodville, Deputy Dis-
trict Governor for District 2S-
1, Region 3, and Dudley Keith,
Kountze, Zone Chairman, Re-
gion 3, Zone 5.
In a brief business session
held prior to the introduction
of the guest speaker, J. D. Don-
also, director of the Silsbee
Lions Labor Day radio broad-
cast, reported the sale of ad-
vertisements for the broadcast
was approximately $780.00.
Attending were 23 local
Lions, the club’s two sweet-
hearts, Gailda Roy and Susan
Williams, and Mrs. Billie J.
Holmes.

either $5000 cash or put down
10,000 square yards of new
pavement. His offer was turned
down by a unanimous vote of
the councilmen, and he was or-
dered to correct the approxi-
mately 2500 feet of water line.
Mora is the contractor for the
sewer line in that section and
the error came about when he
laid the new sewer line at an
incorrect location a report to
the council said. The council
decided at the last meeting to
allow him to move the water
line since it would cause less
disturbance to traffic than
changing the sewer line.
Lilljedahl reported that the
new sewer plant for the north-
east section of the city is 85
per cent complete. He said that
the job had been held up due
to a strike at the plant which
was to furnish electrical switch-
ing. The plant is being built by
Navaho Construction Co.
Sewer lines on the south side
were completed last week ex-
cept for several minor claims
against the contractor, J. Q.
Trimm. The council voted to
pay the final estimate on the
job of $5334.19, less $500 until
the damage and patching were
completed.
Foundation for the elevated
water storage tank passed the
49 per cent mark during the
week and a job estimate of
$9720 was approved for pay-
ment to the contractor, Pitts-
burg and Des Moines.
Approval was given to Mora
to sub-contract the paving of
Roosevelt Drive and other
streets which were torn up by
sewer line work to Matthew
Brothers of Jasper.
Visitors attending Tuesday’s
meeting included Smith, in
spector; Trimm, contractor;
Jimmy Neushafer, auditor; and
J. C. Busby.
MISTAKE AND FRAUD
When you get the short end
of a deal you may feel inclined
to claim mistake or fraud to
get out of the contract.
But courts are not inclined to
correct your business mistakes
unless they also find serious
injustices. For to charge the
other party with fraud is seri-
ous since fraud is a crime as
well as a civil cause of action.
Our courts, therefore, de-
mand more proof than usual in
civil cases where one sues to
get out of a contract on the
grounds of fraud.
Suppose Smith and Black
agree to do something in elear
language, but Smith does not
grasp the terms of a plain con-
tract. This failure of Smith will
not void the contract and our
courts will enforce its terms.
But suppose instead Black
well knew that Smith had made
a mistake, and he still didn’t
explain it to Smith. Then if
this can be proved, Black may
have trouble enforcing his con-
tract.
Both parties often make
mistake which may void the
deal. In one case Raffles agreed
to buy and Smith to sell goods
arriving on a ship named the
“Peerless.” But it just so hap-
pened that two steamers had
the same name. Raffles and
Smith had in mind different
steamers. No contract. Why?
No meeting of the minds.
But to end such a contract
both parties must make a mis-
take about something in the
contract.
People often make oral
agreements, and later write the
terms down. Suppose they
make a mistake in doing this.
When they find such a mistake
they can go into court and have
the contract reformed.
To induce the other party to
agree through fraud makes the
contract void. For a court to
act in a fraud case one must
prove five things:
(1) A false representation;
(2) The speaker’s knowledge
of its falsity;
(3) His intention to mislead
the other party;
(4) The other’s innocent re-
liance on the statement; and
(5) Damage resulting from
the deception.
Unless everyone of these ele-
ments are proved, there is no
legal fraud.
Except for guardians and
others in positions of great
trust, the law assumes that per-
sons deal at arms length and
have equal ability to protect
theselves. The law, in short,
expects you to use your head
in checking out claims and
facts. This goes to the ancient
Roman principle: “Caveat
Emptor” (let the buyer be-
ware). The law expects you to
look into the claims of the oth-
er party, and not to agree to
any old paper shoved under
your nose as a “standard" con-
tract.

Dear Editor:
We feel you will find the en-
closed Savings Bonds ad of spe-
cial interest. You will note that
the Savings Bonds program is
tied in with the Lone Star
State’s most historical site —
The Alamo. Just as the men of
The Alamo fought and died
for Freedom, the Savings Bonds
program is helping to preserve
that Freedom today.
This is the first of a series of
four similar ads that will fea-
ture Texas historical sites. The
whole series was prepared
without cost for the Texas Sav-
ings Bonds Committee by the
Texas Tourist Development
Agency and its advertising
agency, McCann-Erickson.
Our records indicate that
your paper has been using Sav-
ings Bonds ads on a regular
basis. Your support of this vi
tal thrift program is very much
appreciated.
You are rendering a valuable
service to your country, your
community and your readers.
The $4714 billion now being
held in Series E and H Bonds
greatly assists the U. S. Treas-
ury in its task of wise debt
management. In addition, this
$4714 billion in Bonds repre-
sents a tremendous reserve
purchasing power for each
community throughout the
land. The individual who buys
a Bond as a result of the ad he
read in your paper is helping
to provide for his own future
security.
Again our thanks for your
help. We hope you will use this
ad and others in the series that
you will be receiving during
the coming months.

“REMEMBER THE ALAMO"
— the cry that fanned Texas' defeat to victory/
On March I, 1836, thirty men from Gonzales broke through the lines of
Mexican Army Commander Santa Anna to increase the Alamo’s defenses
to 187. This little band of heroes held the Alamo against overwhelming
odds for five more days in one of the most heroic struggles to be found in
the annals of man.
On March 6 Santa Anna with over 4,000 troops stormed the Alamo, and
the last of the heroic band of Texans died fighting. Names like William
Barret Travis, James Bowie, Davy Crockett and James B. Bonham became
immortal.
The massacre at the Alamo inspired General Sam Houston’s men at the
battle of San Jacinto. Crying “Remember the Alamo!”, the Texans sprang
upon Santa Anna’s soldiers and in a swift bloody fight won Texas its freedom.
SPEAK OUT FOR FREEDOM
... with U. S. Savings Bonds!
Through the years that have followed, other “Alamos” and “San Jacintos”
have inspired Americans to lead and win the fight for Freedom —Pork
Chop Hill, Iwo Jima, the Meuse-Argonne Forest.
Today, by purchasing a United States Savings Bond, you can also speak out
for Freedom as clearly as the battle cries of old. Every Savings Bond you
buy is an investment in Freedom. Buy Bonds at your bank or on the payroll
savings plan where you work.
