Crumbling plaster around
aluminum window frames
occurs when the metal be
comes cold enough to cause
humidity in the house to
condense on it The mois
ture then seeps into the
surrounding plaster. The
best way to prevent this is
to remove plaster near the
frame and replace it with
Portland cement stucco.

THE CHRONICLE, Clinton, S. C., January 30, 1969—6-B
What Is A
BY RICHARD GANTT
Attorney
Presbyterian College.
A contract is an agreement that
is enforceable by law. It is an
agreement between two or more
parties that creates one or more
obligations which, if not perform
ed, may be enforced in a court.
Why should you know about con
tracts? Daily activities involve
law. Renting, buying property,
borrowing money, and even tak
ing your clothes to a dry clean
er involve contracts. These are
the elements necessary to form
contracts:
(1) Competent parties: A person,
must be twenty-one (21) in Soujth
Carolina in order to enter ipto
a contract. Contracts made by
a minor are usually voidable and
may be voided by a minor be
fore he reaches his majority (ex
cept in the case of conveyances
of land.) He may also void them
within a reasonable time after
becoming twenty-one unless he
has openly ratified them.
(2) Offer and acceptance, a-
greement: The offer must be de-
Contract?
RICHARD
GANTT
finite. It must be communicated.
The acceptance maybe made only
by the party to whom the offer
was made and must be identi
cal with the offer. Fraud is a
false representation of con
cealment and will make the con
tract voidable. In South Carolina
the maximum contract rate of
interest is seven percent per
annum.
(3) Consideration. To make a
promise enforceable there must
be consideration in the form of
a return promise, an act per
formed or a forbearance.
(4) The agreement can be for
mal or simple. It is most im
portant that the contract be writ
ten. This will prevent misunder
standing. Contracts can be ex
press or implied. The express
contract is one where all the con
ditions are written. The implied
contract is one in which the
agreement is not reached by
words, written or spoken, but by
acts of the parties. As example
of an implied contract is board
ing a bus. Although no words are
spoken, it is understood that you
will pay the fare that is charged
and that the company will trans
port you. Because we must engage
in the use of contracts to ac
complish our daily activities, it
is advisable to insure that all
agreements are in writing. Par
ties entering Into a contract
should read it completely and un
derstand what they sign. Many
terms I have used are necessarily
general in nature. Your legal ad
visor can answer specific ques
tions.

Consult
about this question:
My father tells me to
plan my life insur
ance by the amount
of money I would
want my family to
receive each month
for a certain number
of years. Is H correct
that $19,000 of insur
ance will pay roughly
$100 per month for 20
years?

Thirteen Joanna Employees
Retire During 1968
Thirteen employees of the Joanna Plants of Greenwood
Mills were retired by their company during 1968.
And "thirteen" proved to be a lucky number for these
employees. All of them are fully vested in the Greenwood
Mills Profit Sharing Retirement Fund.
With one million dollars added to the Fund by the com
pany in 1968, total company contributions have reached $7,-
825,000 and the current value of the Fund, through invest
ments, is in excess of eight million dollars all set aside for
Greenwood Mills employees.
Yes, these lucky thirteen, and others who retire under the
Greenwood Mills Profit Sharing Retirement Program, are
now assured of greater security and comfort during their
years of retirement.
The management of Greenw o o d Mills is proud of this
dedicated group. Plants in Joanna who had retirees during
1968 are:
