Zink complained Wednes day that his estranged wife won't go along with a gag a $75,MK gag. She takes Christmas gift giv ing seriously. As he told it in state supreme court: "On Christmas morning, 1945, I visited the defendant in her apart ment at 2 Sutton Place and brought 'her several relatively inexpensive Christmas gifts. Among the gifts was a camera, which cost 175. "During the exchange of gifts, I expressed regret that my finan cial circumstances were such that 1 was unable to give her more elaborate presents and, in the mer riment and ; jesting which pre vailed at that time, 1 drew a blank check from my wallet and in a spirit of fun, wrote a check to her order . for 175,000 and dated it Christmas Day, 10 years later." Zink . married the girl, Maucie, in 1946 and always figured she had destroyed the check. But he didn't know Maude, he admitted Mrs. Zink sued the lawyer for a separation in ltS2 and the shocked Zink learned the check is - still in her possession. The sepa-, ration suit is pending. - With the "merriment and jest ing of that by-gone Christmas only a memory, Zink is worried lest the check become valid next week 'and Mn.Zink cash it. north of Salem along the Pacific Highway. The present store, located at 148 N. Liberty St. in downtown Salem is being closed, Fred Meyer said, "due to lark of space and the inability of the firm to acquire additional space at the present location." Negotiations have been under way several months, Meyer said, to locate a suitable site. He ex pressed hope his search would end soon and construction of a modern shopping center in size, service and facilities, comparable to the store's Portland centers, could start immediately. Meyer-said he was seeking a site which would provide off street parking and spare for stores to carry the same lines of merchandise now included in Portland stores. The Fred Meyer firm has been in Salem for the past 24 years.
