The trial court has the job of j
establishing the facts. This is
accomplished by questioning wit-
nesses and the introduction of
physical evidence. This re-
quires application of the rules of
evidence,
Through the years the law of
evidence has been establshed.
The rules place restraints on
what type of evidence is proper.
They have the effect of protect-
ing the rights or the parties by
insuring a fair trial.
Hearsay is a word often heard
during a trial. Hearsay may in-
volve a statement by a third
person of a conversation be-
tween two other persons. It
would be hearsay if Jones were
asked to tell the court what he
overheard Smith tell Greene."
With certain exception, evidence
of this type is excluded because
it is not reliable, and might
open the door to false testimony.
A lawyer objects to evidence
he does not believe is proper.
If a lawyer objects to evidence
because it is irrelevant, he means
that the evidence is of such
little importance that it has no
bearing on the case, and if ad-
mitted it would bog down the
trial so that the time needed
doesn't justify its admittance.
Opinion evidence of one not
an expert is not admissable
since such opinion carries no
weight.
When an objection is sustain-
ed by the judge, the evidence
is not received. Should the ob-
jection be overruled, the evi-
dence is allowed to be pre-
sented.
The rules of evidence have
been built up through many
years of court trials. These
rules are not arbitrary but are
designed to see that justice is
done in our courts. The judge
is seeking to have the truth
established and insure that all
parlies and witnesses in the
trial are given a full and fair
opportunity to present the facts.

COURT RULES ARE
NECESSARY FOR JUSTICE
Are you hopelessly confused
by court room procedure? Words
such as "objections", "over-
ruled". "sustained", "hearsay",
•irrelevant" and "opinion" arc
meaningless to many persons.
The purpose of a trial is to
settle disputes that the parties
cannot settle by themselves. Be-
fore these disputes can be
settled, the facts which give rise
to them must be established.
This sounds simple, but on the
contrary it is a difficult task.
If the parties agreed on the
facts the job would be easy,

vulgar ostentation all around
us, in the sexual lavity reveal-
ed by the Kinsey studies, in the
demoralization of American cap-
tives in the Korean War, in the
widespread defiance of law. The
signs are apparent in our gen-
eral toleration of wrong-doing,
which is itself an evil and cor-
rupting force".
Doctor Finkelstein believes
that it is the primary responsi-
bility of the businessman to put
ethics on the ageneda. The busi-
nessman, in his view, is neces-i
sarily the leading citizen in an
industrial society. His morals
and attitudes pervade our lives.
He must have values in life
"above profit or economic se-
curity".
Can the spread of moral dry
rot be stopped and the sorry
trend reversed? No greater,
more far-reaching question faces
us today. And the business-
men alone, important as their
role is, cannot provide the whole
answer. The disease is found in
labor, government, everywhere.
And it is deadly.

NEWSPAPERS' IMPORTANCE
(Industrial News Review)
Last December a deliverers'
strike forced New York City's
newspapers to suspend publica-
tion. Nothing has done more
to point up the importance of
the press to the community.
As Editor & Publisher puts it,
life in New York City "did not
grind to a halt". But almost
everyone in the city was af-
fected by the communications
failure.
Thousands o f non - strikers
were thrown out of work. Some
10,000 of the city's 16,000 news-
stands closed. The city gov-
ernment went into low gear be-
cause of the difficulty of get-
ting information to the public.
Even education was hit—as a
majority of the students in the
city's schools use newspapers in
their curricula.
Businesses of many kinds—
stores, amusement houses, auto-
mobile and real estate dealers
and so on—slumped so badly
that the City's Board of Trade
said the strike produced "irre-
trievable" damage.
Editor & Publisher sums up'
"The importance of newspapers
in the daily life of a community
is rarely known or appreciated
until suddenly they fail to pub-
lish."
Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey anticipates that this year's
oil demand will be five per cent
above the 1958 level, due to a
continued rise in business acti-
vity, and that free world demand
will increase eight per cent.
The company has budgeted
about a billion dollars for capi-
tal expenditures during 1W9.
