RAFTER FREED OF
FRAUD CHARGE
Continued from page 1 •
the conveying of sail prcporty
was not fraud Pent.
Attorney Grigsby, for the l'/e
fcnse, said that it was absurd to
suppose that Mr. Rafter would
get "just anyone off the street"
to witness a deed which carried
the wrong d tie and that world
later be contested, rorthermr re
the deed would hav been com
pletely rewritten, if intentions to
deceive nad beei. present. The
present lease plainly shows where
erasures have been made to in
sert Myrtle V Rafter in place of
her husband's name, i .ester . V.
Rafter. *
Mr. Grigsby contended that the
badges of fraud which Attorney
Kay offered applied only to sub
sequent creditors and that such
was not the case at hand. He
then quoted from the American
Jurisprudence Volume 2-4, under
the heading of Fraudulent Con
veyances, Section 144. which says:
“Whereas the familiar indicia
or badges of fraud may in many I
instances be relied on by an ex- |
isting creditor as establishing a !
case for the granting of relief, it
is not sufficient for ttie subse- !
quent creditor to make out a case j
of merely constructive fraud foun- j
ded on such facts as lack of con-1
sideration or insolvency on the |
part of the transferer; he must 1
establish fraud in fact or actual
fraud and he must assume the
burden of proof in this respect.” j
He then exhorted the court that
only the most definite and posi
tive evidence should be consider
ed in giving a decision to the
Plaintiff: Notice of Appeal was
not given at that time.
Fire and snow queens from
Minnesota, the Dakotas and Wis

Former Seward Tailor In London
US
Friends of Mr. and Mrs. Clem
ens Schneider, formerly of the
Seward Tailor Shop will be glad
to read excerpts of letters re
ceived here from them in Lon
don, England.
April 28—“Clemens and 1 had
no idea we would visit Europe
when we arrived in New York,
but quite unexpectedly we found
we could sail on the "New Am
sterdam”—a very fine Holland
Ameriean ship—within 2 weeks.
We dashed like mad to get our
passport visas and additional
shopping done. The 7 days trip
on the boat was most perfect.
Among the 1000 passengers we
met many congenial folks from
San Francisco my home town, and
San Diego, the middle west and
many Hollanders and English
people. We danced every night,
swam every day and went for
long walks on the open decks and
played games out of doors.
The food was so good we sure
ly overate -and had to get plenty
of exercise to keep our weights
down.
In London we were met by
Clemens niece and nephew who
live right in the heart of Lon
don. They had a room for us in
their apartment and had saved up
rations of food for months hop
ing we would change our minds
and visit them. Many people are
not so fortunate as to have most
anything they'd want to eat.
These folks budget very well and
of course some of them have
friends or relatives who send
things from the United States.
London. to us, was a sorry
sight. So many places are bomb
ed buildings, which stand in their
ruined remains with only the:
loose bricks hauled away. No \
doubt many years will pass be- ]
fore they can be rebuilt.
Clothing prices are very high. !
and articles are of much inferior!
quality*
None of the women wear the :
"New Look". They say they nev- |
er will. We think it is because I
clothing is rationed so closely, 1
and the new look requires more |
material. The wages which one,
makes here are nothing to com
pare with the United States.
Our nephew works as a sales
man and as a waiter in a Deli- |
catessan. He makes 5 pounds a
week ($20) and supports a wife
and 2 small children. They can
not believe it is possible that
such a wage scale exists as in
the United States.
Every day we are out seeing
the city, now that we are famil
iar with the traffic and money sys
tem. Cars are very old and make
lots of noise. Subways are nice,
cleaner and quieter than New
York but do not run as fast.
One of our first trips was to
the House of Parliament. Inside
we visited the Court of the Lords
Princess Court and House of Com
mons. Every wall and gallery is
covered with beautiful paintings
and carvings. Some places appear
to be inlaid with gold.
How beautiful is Westminister
Abbey the old cathedral where
Princess Elizabeth was recently
married.
Buckingham Palace, St. James
Court up Bond Street and Regent
Street all proved very fascinat
ing.
The 261 h of April was the King
and Queen’s Wedding Anniver
sary. It was a full dress affair
headed by over a hundred horse
men wearing gay colors and
shields. Ahead of the Royal Car
riage were dignified looking men
with wigs and high hats. The
King and Queen looked marvel
ous. So did Prineess Margaret. In
the next coach were Princess Eliz
abeth and Mountbattan. (Both
Princesses looked well in their
“new look" dresses. Queen Moth
er Mary’s carriage was lost. Dur
ing the day we saw them all 3
different times.
Windsor Castle is a one and a
half hour bus ride out of London.
We were allowed to inspect it
thoroughly—even to the living
quarters of the King and Queen.
There are so many things to see
we may have to stay for some
time to see them all. This morn
ing we visited Hatton Garden
(largest, diamond center in the
world). Whitechapel (slum area
of London), Thread-Needle Street
'and beautiful old St. Paul’s Cath
edral. Monday we plan to go by
beautiful now, warm and green,
bus to Oxford University.
The country side of England is
It is time for tea. How quickly
we have acquired the habit of
tea at 4 P.M.—with delicious lit
tle cakes or cookies. If it were
not for Clemen’ niece we would
not fare so well. She has estab
lished herself in certain shops
and can get just, about the best,
there is to be had.—Time out for
tea.
Our best regards to Seward
friends.

‘'These are uncertain
times and a prudent man will re

but the most prudent will sav ‘Buy
U. S. SAVINGS BONDS.’ By so do

an attractive rate of interest; you

safeguarding yourself and your

Here is the graphic story of Fair Trade prices as compared with
all others in the period from 1939 to 1947. While something less than
5 per cent of all products are sold under Fair Trade laws, they have
had an important restraining effect on the over-all price picture be
cause of their impact on competition, according to American Fair .
Trade Council. While restraining prices during this period of serious
inflation, Fair Trade has made it possible for manufacturers to main
tain or to improve quality. On the other hand, monopolistic price
cutters using well-known branded products as “bait” frequently force
quality dilution. Fair Trade laws protect the consumer because they
guard and enhance quality, the Council asserts.
