Show Page 2 Sugar House. Utah Thursday. December 5. 1957 INDEPENDENT LISTENING and LIVING by Tammy Thompson Dear Tammy Thompson: Maybe this is a new quirk, hav-ing a mother write for advice for her darling daughter, but here goes. My daughter is age 17, has been very popular with boys,-- and es-pecially her latest boy friend, a sailor boy who is home on sick leave. The boy appears perfectly well physically, but am certain his extended sick leave must be official. The point is, he has no-thing to occupy his time except telephone my daughter or call on; her. He's a proverbial "parlor hound" and is annoying the en-tire family. Perhaps, he hasn't the means for "stepping out" to a show or dance, but meanwhile daughter DOTTIE's social time is being completely absorbed by a sailor boy who is five years her senior. Worst of it is that our daughter doesn't seem to mind. Since my daughter will not put the damper on this relationship, it seems either my husband or I will "be forced to tell him that we're seeing too much of his com-pany. What shall we do? DOTING - PARENTS Dear Doting Parents: All of us are more or less ac-tively interested in seeing our daughters have a good time daily and meet "MR. WRIGHT" at the right age. What is the right age, one may ask? The right age is after a school has secured her life's education, whether it be on-ly, a high school education, a col-lege education, or a professional education, and when she has ma-- J tured emotionally to know "who" she wants for a life's mate. Now let's discuss the case of. the "parlor hound." The first thing that puzzles me is that yourj daughter seems to enjoy being: home - bound, which is contrary to most teen-age- rs these days J Also, you say your daughter has been very popular with boys. This sudden "right - about - face" indi-- j cates 'otherwise. Usually, it's the.1 girl who has had no male atten-tions focused on her who is thrill-ed to be entertained at home with the family gathered 'round. j Since the problem has become! a "family" problem and not just a "teen" problem, it is entirely cricket for the husband to put the young sailor - boystraight with regard to occupying so much of your daughter's time. Also, you might ask him to take your daugh-ter over to meet his folks and spend the evening with them (but DO NOT suggest that the boy's parlor is the place in preferenc to YOUR parlor because your daughter is at least under paren-tal eye spending her evenings in th HOME parlor.) If you want to test the young man's interest in the family, get out the game of MONOPOLY and call in the whole family to parti-cipate. If you follow this proce-du- r night aftr night, h'll soon get wise and figure it out for him-self at least he will have learn-ed: "What price, MONOPOLY!" Tammy Thompson by Richard J. Maughan. B.S., L.L.B. Lawyers What Are They And What Do They Do? Recently, the writer of this col-umn, has been asked just what a lawyer is supposed to do as rep-resentative of his client. Most of-te- n, the question is directed at the lawyer's duty toward his own client, who has been charged by a crime but fre-quently a ques- -' concerns what a lawyer is expec-ted to when, his client seeks ad-vice, also; or, when the client is involved in a situation mater-- ' ft 'i-- ' .amount. However, if the client's 'legal problem is an involved one, (which may require a law suit or jconsiderable research, then the at-torney can only give an est-imate as to the probable cost of ; his services and make a final charge when the matter is com-iplete- d. In fixing a fair fee for his ser-vices, an attorney takes into con-sideration the amount of time spent on the legal problem, the amount or money or "property in-volved and the success attending his efforts. Since many people do not have sufficient funds to pay an attorney for his legal services, for example, in maintaining an action in court ifor the death of a husband or child, the attorney will take the case on a contingent fee. In such jCases he will charge the client a .certain portion of whatever am-ount is recovered by judgment or compromise. In all such cases the (client must pay the necessary court costs such as the filing fee, the service of summons and the jury fee if there is one. If a person has no money to ;pay the court costs, then the will prepare an affidavit! for the client to sign and all le-- ; gal papers will be filed and serv-je- d without cost. The amount of jsuch costs will be deducted if the jcase is finally successful and judg-ment is secured. y - Can The Average Man Afford An Attorney? He cannot afford NOT to have an attorney! The average man inevitably faces some legal prob-lems during his lifetime. There is an old adage in the law which says "He who is himself the at-torney, has a fool for a client." No business firm or corporation, large or small, is without the ser; vices of a trained lawyer. No man should try to solve his own legal problems, and the primary reason !for this statement is that he can't. Yet every day many people build or buy homes without con-sulting an attorney. They don't 'know whether there are liens or 'mortgages against the property; Ithey don't know whether the per-son to whom they are paying the money owns the property. ing to save a few dollars, they forego the services of legal coun-- , sel, and often lose hundreds or thousands before their transaction is completed. No problem is too small for an attorney to assist you with. If a Person is Charged With a Crime and Has No Money, What '. Happens To Him? Every lawyer is an officer of ; the court, he can be assigned by ' the judge to defend an accused i person. Any lawyer so appointed i will and must defend the client to . the best of his abilities irrespec-- : tive of the financial condition of ; the accused. However, if a person ' has sufficient means, he must compensate the lawyer for the legal service rendered in his be-half. May An Attorney Represent Both Sides Of A Controversy ,j He may not, unless both sides ; consent. One attorney can repr-esent both parties only where they so agree after being fully advised as to their respective legal rights. ' Does A Client Have Recourse ! Against Lawyer's Injustice? J Yes he does. The Bar Associ-ation of the State of Utah will ex-jami- ne any complaint filed against !ian attorney. If, after an impartial jhearing, sufficient cause is shown, , with the consent of the Supreme Court the attorney may be repri-manded, or may even be disbarr-ed, without regard to any official position he may hold or without I regard to his standing in the com-ijmunit- y. ij "An lawyer's time and advise :'are his stock in trade." ,! A. Lincoln See you next week, with som-ething about contracts. ializing in the R. j, Maughan court contest. Another name for a lawyer is Attorney at Law, or Attorney. An Attorney is one who is legally ap-pointed to act for another to transact such another's business, v, he is a legal agent who has been qualified and licensed to act for . another in legal proceedings as one versed in the laws. Questions like those above are so common I thought it well this week to briefly analyze the posi-tion of the lawyer in our society. Who Is a Lawyer? A lawyer is an officer of our courts authorized to explain the law to his clients and to repre-sent them in court. What Are His Duties? His primary duty is to see to it that persons who employ him are given the benefit of his ad-vice and counsel so that their le-gal rights will be protected in every way. Duty In Civil Cases? v His primary duty is one of com plete loyalty to his client. This does not mean that he will try all his client's cases in court. If he can possibly avoid litigation and can affect settlement of a case without prejudicing his client's clear legal rights, he should do so. A lawyer's advice to settle a case is often worth far more than ' any number of cases tried in court, won or lost. If a case can-not be settled but must be tried in court, it is the lawyer's duty to present all the facts, germane to the facts of the case, to the best of his ability, and to cite the law applicable to those facts in order that his client's case may be fully and completely presented to the court or the jury. What Is A Lawyer's Duty To His Client In Criminal Cases The primary point here is thai in America every person is con-sidered innocent until proved guil-ty, and the important thing is that we can all think that. Every defendant in a criminal case has a right to all the protection which the law gives an accused person, A lawyer must see that his clienl receives a fair trial on the bases of competent evidence, properly presented. How Does One Choose A Lawyer? People most frequently choose their lawyer upon the recommen-dation of some friend, neighbor, or business acquaintance. It is contrary to the lawyer's code ol ethics to advertise individually, but he isn't prohibited from list-ing his name in the yellow pages of the telephone directory under the heading "LAWYERS," and this he does for the convenience of his clients and prospective clients. After he has been chosen, he treats his client's problems with the strictest confidence and in turn requires a full disclosure of the facts from his client. How Much Does h Lawyer Charge? A lawyer cannot always tell you after hearing your problem exactly what his fee will be. If a person requires a legal document to be prepared, such as a lease, deek, or a will, an attorney can usually fix the fee at an exact SOUTH EAST LDfc.rkIiUfcJl 1123 East 21st South Dial IN S2 Or HU The South East Independent is entered as Second Class Matter, March 1. 1946. in Salt Lake City Post Office under the act of March 3. 1879.

'Janus" will be the University Theatre's "Surprise Broadway Hit," originally announced for March, 1958. The play originally; scheduled for December, "Inherit the Wind," starring Walter Abel,1 has been moved into the March slot due "to a conflicting national TV commitment made by Mr. Ab-el for December. University Thea- - ter officials believe that there is now an excellent possibility that, in addition to Mr. Abel, they may be able to sign Paul Muni or Ed Begley, who created the starring roles in "Inherit the Wind" on Broadway so successfully, to ap-pear in the Kingsbury production in March. Tickets for Judith Evelyn in "Janus" with Jeffrey Lynn at Kingsbury Hall can be purchased now at the Kingsbury Hall busi-ness office, announced Bud Jack, business manager, or at the down town box-offi- ce in the Tribune Bldg. from noon to 6 p.m. start-ing November 27, the Wednesday before the play begins.

It is a sophisticated, light - heart-ed comedy about a most uncon-ventional romantic situation with highly amusing internal revenue department complications. Judith Evelyn will star in the Kingsbury production in the role of Jessica, the wife, and Jeffrey Lynn will star opposite her in the part of Denny, the Andover professor and Jessica's summeftime collaborat-or. Ralph E. Margetts, director of the play, has completed the small but excellent cast with Lou-ise Hill Howe as Miss Addy, the writer's agent; Bob Miller, who distinguished himself as Ulysses in the recent Kingsbury produc-tion of "Tiger at the Gates," as the husband, Gil; and Jay W. Lees as Mr. Harper, the internal revenue department agent. Mrs. Howe and Mr; Lees are well -- known to Salt Lake Theatregoers for their many previous appear-ances on the Kingsbury stage. Geraldine Elliott has been named by Mr. Margetts as assistant dir-ector. The set, a brownstone house off Washington Square in New York City, is being designed by Vern Adix and the costumes by Sereta T. Jones. Judith Evelyn will be remem-bered by Salt Lake playgoers for jher performances here in recent (years in "Private Lives," "Joan of Lorraine" and 'Streetcar Nam-ed Desire."
