Small Fortune
CHICAGO (P) A fortune
In cash and securities, all tied up
in pink bloomers, stockings and
a pillow case, was found Monday
in a safe deposit box owned by an
85-year old widow who died five
months ago.
Officials representing various
public agencies found currency-in
$1 to $500 bills totaling $12,
712 In the bloomers and stockings.
The money in the pillow cose
will be counted Thursday.
The safe deposit box was rented
to the late Mrs. Cora Drapler In
1915.
Before she died last Dec. 9 she
executed a will, leaving virtually
all her estate, estimated at $300,
000, to her attorney, Pierre J. Pel
oquin. The will Is being contested
by Mrs. Pearl Golab, who was left
$1,000. She said she was promised
$100,000. The will was admitted
to probate last week over Mrs.
Golab's protests.
The source of Mrs. Drapier's
fortune was not definitely known.
Officials Make
Million Errors
LOS ANGELES W) School
Superintendent Alexander J. Stod
dard has decided what should be
done with 500,000 report cards
that came back from the printer
with misspellings.
He recommended to the Board
of Education Monday that some
be used as office duplicates In
secondary schools and the rest,
oorrectea rjy nana, Be issued to
limcntary school students.
When the cards came out sev
eral weeks ago the "u" and "a" in
"language" were transposed and
the second "s" was missing from
"semester." Seems tbe school sys
tem's proof reader hadn't noticed
the errors.
Concluding hii report to the
school board, Stoddard said:
"There are two words, 'language'
and 'semester,' that we hope no
one of our generation will ever
mispell again."
Stoddard apparently didn't
proofread his copy. It's "misspell,"
not "mispell."

Fatal Shot ,
(Continued rom paoe one)
with the state's opening statement.
Luckey said the evidence will
show that a shell jacket found
near the girl's body was fired
from a weapon later taken from
the Belcher home. The state will
also prove, he said, that the youth
confessed the crime to police and
that a second confession was wire
recorded. The recording will be
offered in evidence for the trial.
Luckey said testimony will show
that powder burns on the girl's
clothing will show the fatal shot
was fired at close distance to the
girl while she was picking wild
flowers.
The district attorney also stated
that the youth admitted to police
two days after the fatal shooting
that he had had relations with
Mary Ellen Campbell and that he
could have been responsible for
her pregnancy.
ELMER ALSO told police
Luckey said, that he had planned
the crime for two months.
One witness for the state was
called shortly before the noon re.
cess. He was Dana Campbell,
lather of the dead girl.
Under direct examination
Campbell told Luckey' he was sit
ting in his car reading a detective
magazine about 6 p.m. April 4,
while his wife was nearby milk
ing the idmily cow. While he was
reading, he said he heard two
shots, but thought nothing ot them
at the time.
HE RECALLED how later that
evening he missed his daughter
and that finally his wife went to
the Belcher residence to ask Mrs.
Belcher to call police.
Campbell testified his daughter
had been in Fairview Home for a
time and could speak only a few
words and hear very little.
The father than told of the
search for the girl and how the
body was found in a wooded sec
tion about 200 yards from her
home early on the morning on
April 5.
Under cross - examination,
Campbell said he did not know his
girl was pregnant until after her
death. He said a member of the
family told him then.
CAMPBELL SAID when he and
his wife first went to milk the
cows, they saw Elmer working on
a car in a neighbor's yard and that
when they returned home about
20 minutes later, Elmer was still
there.
Just as Campbell was called to
the stand as the state's first wit
ness, Attorney Frank Reid, asso
ciated with Lombard in the case,
motioned that the indictment was
faulty because it did not specify
the words "by shooting" to ex
plain In the charge how the de.
fendant killed the dead girl.
Luckey told the court the words
had been omitted by mistake.
Judge G. F. Skipworth ruled the
indictment was defective, but not
"fatally defectlwe." He overruled
the defense s motion.
Numerous state witnesses were
scheduled to testify in Tuesday's
afternoon session.

When you pay your telephone bill, about 28 cents of each dollar goes for excise, income, property and other taxes.
How much tax in your telephone bill?
When you pay your telephone bill each month, an impor
tant part of your money is set aside to be passed on in taxes
to the Federal Government and to state, county and city
governments. Naturally, we expect to contribute our fair
share of the cost of government., .but because taxes now
account for such a large portion of the cost of service, we
feel we should report about them to you who, as telephone
customers, have to pay them.

ouv telephone is taxed in two ways: One, throueh the
operating taxes we pay to run the business...federal and
state income taxes, property taxes and the like. In 1951
these reached an all-time high of more than 1 miiiut,'
for PacicTelephone...nearlyBa fourth ffio
These operating taxes alone amounted to more than tw.Ve
as much as we were able to pay out in dividends to the
owners of our business. The other way you're taxed is bv
federal excise levies you pay on your local and long distant
service. Last year we collected more than $70 million in
excise taxes from our customers here in the Pacific West
and turned the money over to the Bureau of Internal Revenue.
Pacific Telephone
To give you some idea of the size of Pacific Telephone'! to
bill, it is estimated that the total excise and operating
on your telephone service in 1951 could have supported
the 131 schools of higher education in the State of Califon
For these taxes came to more than $152 million. To P""
in terms of the average telephone, this is $35 per tolepW"
per year.. .$2.92 Der month. Twonrv vonra airo the avew
was 53 cents a month.
Your telephone is one of
today's best bargains
In spite of sharp increases
in taxes, wages, material9
and other costs of provid
ing service, we've been
able to hold down the
prices you pay for service
...hold them so low.infaA
that the telephone today
is one of the best buys"1
any budget.
