Yet, even with the special skills of land title companies that allow fast, efficient de- termination of the owner-h i p of a multitude of rights in land, it simply is not possible to locate all advance. s Because there can be hidden title problems which will not be disclosed by an examination of evidence from the public records, home buyers and lenders frequently rely on the money-bacguarantee of title insurance. If a title insurer later is found to be wrong in its determination of rights in land, the insured is financially protected as his title policy provides. As an example of what can happen in the area of hidden title problems, the tranquility of a buyers home ownership in a southern state was shattered more than three years after purchase when two children of deceased former owners presented a substantial claim against the buyer. The children contended that the deed from their parents to the person from whom the buyer purchased was void because the parents were mentally incompetent when they conveyed their interest in the property. There was no indication of this claim at the time of the buyers real estate purk chase. Under its policy of owners title insurance, the title company retained an attorney to defend the insured buyer. After efforts to resolve the matter were unsuccessful, separate lawsuits were filed attacking the validity of the deed from the deceased parents, subsequent conveyance of the property, and the wills of the late parents which would have disposed of the home in the same manner as the deed. Finally, the title insurer paid a substantial sum to settle the matter and paid for related attorney fees and costs. This enabled the insured buyer to keep his home without experiencing nnv financial loss.

School symbols still esteemed by Americans Thanks Despite the soaring price of gold, a treasured tradition of American students isnt going to be tarnished. Since the 1930s, class rings have become for many high school students the symbol of their class and school. Today, more than two million class rings are sold each year. Until fairly recently, nearly all class rings were made of 10 karat gold, so rises in the price of gold naturally were reflected in higher prices for students. Fortunately, the recent surge in the price of gold has not caught manufacturers of class rings un- - to the development of handsome alloys which, like gold, resist tarnishing individuals in a wide range of economic levels can still purchase class rings. The continuing popularity of these rings is due, in part, to their being a symbol of pride and belonging rather than just an investment in jewelry. prepared. Nongold alloys were first introduced several years ago by Jostens, Inc., a Minneapolis-base- d manufac- turer of class rings. White Argentus and Lustrium account for the majority of the companys nongold rings. Rings of these alloys are about 40 to 50 percent less expensive than similar ones made of 10 karat gold. Yellow Argentus, an alter- native to yellow gold, however, contains 25 percent gold, so it is sensitive to increases in the price of gold. There has been a noticeable shift in the relative proportions of 10 karat class rings vs. nongold alloys. In 1978 of the 0$rom Volunteer for the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program.
