Paris. 28-year-old deputy county probation officer, was arraigned in Marin Superior Court today on charges he had sexuual relations with a 17-year- old ward of the court and gave her marijuana. Paris, who faces seven felony charges of statuatory rape, sex perversion and furnishing marijuana to a minor, was grated a 15-day continuance of an order sealing the transcript of testimony before the grand jury concerning his charges. He ordered to appear in court Nov.

25 to plead to the charges. One person was injured and two cars destroyed by fire in a four-vehicle accident at 7:11 a.m. today on Highway 37 at Atherton Boulevard at Black Point, according to the' California Highway Patrol. Sandra Rae Patterson, 26, of Boyes Hot Springs, was treated for cuts on her forehead and multiple bruises at Novato General Hospital. Mrs.

Patterson, an employee of the Marin County office, said that she jumped out of her Volkswagen as soon as she hit the car in front of her. Patrolman Richard Harkness of the California Highway Patrol said that she was lucky she did so because the car burst into flames. w'as bleeding over my face so they told me to lie down. I did lie dow-n beside the road and watched my car burn up as I w'aited for the she said at the hospital, picking splinters of glass from her hair as she talked. A brown 1965 Cougar was also destroyed by fire, according to Harkness.

I Reconstructing the accident, Harkness said that an unknown vehicle, which later left the scene, slowed down and stopped in the westbound lane Highway 37, and a car driven by Louise Emma Grigoliet, 47, of San Francisco, stopped behind it. The Cougar, driven by John Edward Connors 51, of Sonoma, stopped in turn and was hit in the rear by Mrs. Volkswagen, knocking the Cougar into the car, Harkness said. The Volkswagen in turn was struck in the rear by a pickup truck driven by Willie Allen, 58, of Vallejo. Two passengers in tlie pickup truck complained of pain, but had no visible injury, Harkness said.

Ollie Grisby, 34, of Vallejo, passenger, was to go to Hamilton Air Force Base hospital and Charles Blackman, 42, of Vallejo was to see his own doctor. ASSAULT Continued from page 1 standing up and had a tom pants leg, perhaps a result of falling. The group of young men was gone. He then saw a sheriff's deputy, Robert F. Richmond and told him of the assault.

Richmond, working at the game as an off- duty officer employed by Tamalpais High School, said that Andrews declined treatment, saying, all right. I just want to get my daughter Richmond said he reported the assault to the office in San Rafael about midnight and made out a report at the Marin City substation, where he works, the next morning. fiarry Teague, head of the juvenile bureau, said today that he, Richmond and two other deputies all w'orked as off-duty officers at the game. He added that just before the assault, however, he and one of the other officers left the field to investigate a report that someone was pilfering cars in a parking lot. The officers said Andrews was only able to describe one of the youths as about six feet tall, weighing 200 pounds and wear- ang a white coat and dark trousers.

Continued from page 1 commuters in a terminal that accommodates more than 200,000 people a day. This was the only reason, the authority said, for trying to keep the war critics out of the terminal itself. They were free to press their views on travelers on the sidewalks surrounding the terminal and at the entrances and exits, the appeal said. However, in another action, the court turned down a plea by a Baptist minister who claimed his rights to free speech and freedom of religion were violated. The Rev.

Vernon Lyons of the Ashburn Baptist Church in Chicago was convicted under a littering regulation for placing religious tracts on cars in a city- owned lot. The Illinois Supreme Court ruled last March that Chicago authorities had the right to restrict his activities in order to keep the lot clean. The minister, his wife, four of their children and two other parishioners moved through the lot June 24, 1966, and placed Acts of the pamphlets under windshield w'ipers or inside cars when they found the windows open. The Illinois court said many pamphlets remained on the lot several days later, apparently having been discarded by car owners or blown from the car windshields. The Rev.

Lyons, the first person prosecuted under the regulation in 14 years, was fined $25. Justice William 0. Douglas voted to give the Rev. Lyons a hearing. DERWARD W.

In fact, Martha called Henry her and Henry I like Martha, but he ready I for another marriage. One day he asked Martha to cook, shop, clean, and to come with him on social occasions.

In return he promised to I good care of in his wull. I Martha agreed, though for some I time she had already done most these things without pay or expectation of it. Henry died, but nobody could find the new will. He had made a ten years before which left his brother everything. That will was admitted to probate.

Martha sued estate I for what she had done up to the I time he died. The court agreed and ordered the estate to pay $200 a month for the time I she had taken care of Henry. No court will enforce a spoken promise to make a will. That kind of promise must be in writing. But a creditor can enforce a spoken promise to pay and can collect from an estate, if it has the assets.

Even though Martha had no agreement for Henry to pay her, she had a claim based on her expectatiwi of payment. I Martha never expected payment but did the services free, she had no claim. The court will fix a to pay her, more or less she would have received had Henry made a will. She need not keep detailed records. In another case, a sister quit her job to care for her sick brother.

He promised to of her in his will, but his will failed to mention her. She collected for the reasonable value of her services. In contrast to spoken promises, any written promise to make a will is enough to make an agreement enforceable. A memo, some notation of tilings expected in return for part of the estate or a specific item, say, the on Elm would be good enough. The memo should be signed by the party to be charged.

The signature need not be at the end of the memo. It can even be signed by a nickname, or just initials. Even designation of or are good enough. It is a good practice, however, to get all important agreements in writing, and in clear a.nd precise language if possible. Court action to enforce a moral agreement is costly and takes a lot of time.
