Keeping Tab On Tabs
Know what time of vear it is, motorists?
February 4 is getting closer than a tight-fisted uncle.
And those who haven't been keeping tabs on dates mav not
be keeping license tabs on their autos. Putting off until tomorrow what we should have done vesterday may result in
a painful matter of exchanging tabs for tags—the kind of
tags that are fine for paving the penalty of procrastination.

LEGAL
NUGGETS
By GERALD WALLACE, J.D.
Many people do not realize how
important it is to tell all about
their health conditions when applying for life insurance. Some
have the impression that, so long
as they pass the medical examination by the doctor selected by
the insurance company, their
beneficiaries can ultimately collect the amount specified in the
policies.
The District Court of Appeals
last September at Sacramento
denied relief to a widow whose
husband had a heart condition
which he did not disclose. The
insurance company was able to
prove at the trial that he had
consulted a physician whose name
he had not mentioned and taken
drugs to relieve pain in heart disease.
The Court said:: “ By failing to
i) reveal the fact of his examination
and traetment by doctors not
named in the application, the applicant deprived the insurer of
facts that might well have affected the extent of tis investigation and its examination of the
applicant. Any insurance company is entitled to rely on the
truthfulness of the answers given
in the application.”
It relied on a Supreme Court
case decided June 21, 1957, which
pointed out: “It has been specifically held that misrepresentations
as to heart symptoms render an
Insurance policy unenforcable.
. Where false representations
as to material matters have been
made, the existence of a fraudulent intent to deceive is not essential.
