At this lot you leave your keys
in the car, so the attendant can
park it for you—and move it
around in your absence Further
more, you get a ticket which you
are supposed to turn in when
you leave.
This arrangement is called
a bailment, and its vital ele-
ment is the transfer of posses-
sion to the management With
possession goes responsibility.
Now you are, paying not only
for the use of a pa iking space
but also for a reasonable amount

PARKING LOT LAW
If you drive a car, you prob-
ably have frequent occasion to
use a parking lot. But what may
be a handy conveniene for you
may 4lso be a happy hunting
ground for the car thief. Do you
know your rights in case your

AUSTIN —Rushed and dis-
traded shoppers in busy down-
town areas create a special
traffic safety hazard during
the last week before Christmas
And .in spite of the danger
created by, more motorists and
street crowds, many shoppers
seem to operate on the theory
that thqy lead some sort of a
charmed existence - utterly.
Type "A” Lot
At this lot you pay your fee
nd park the car yourself,
keeping the keys. You have a
right (exercise it!) to lock the
car, and you may drive out
without handing in any ticket.
Legally, th is is a kind of quick-
ie lease. You are paying for the
temporary use of a parking
space, bu» not much more Thus,
a man whose car was stolen
from a Type 7A" lot (at a ball
park) failed to collect damages
for his loss Under such a park-
ing arrangement, said the court,
a car owner could hardly expect
the management to keep a keen
lookout for thieves.
In short, the primary responsi-
bility for the car continues to be

As we come to the 173rd anniversary of the ratification
of the first ten amendments to the Constitution of the
United States we hear rumors to the effect that certain
forces feel that this Magna Charter of our‘government is
inadequate to modern conditions and needs and should eith-
er be completely reconstructed to the ge or be discarded.
If we would but read studiously all the documents from
the Declaration of Independence to the 22nd amendment
to the Constitution awe can not help but answer that this
prescribed glorious way of life has never been fully tried
up until this present day. No section of this great country

Our Constitution is the best plan eve r made to assure

Our Constitution is a landmark in the agelong struggle
