Bonneville Power Administrator William A. Pearl released his an nual, report Qver the week end and added ae optimistic note on the0 region's future power sup plies. In Sis letter transmitting the re port to Interior Secretary Douglas McKay, Pearl said, "There is con tinued and growing evidence that the power requirements of the Pa- cific Northwest will fee met by the new projects being advanced through the 'partnership program' and multi - purpose dams being planned by the federal govern ment." In the year, which ended June 30, 1953, the Columbia River system got 443.400 more kilowatts of in stalled capacity with additions at Lookout Point, McNary and Albeni Falls dams. That put the federal capacity at 4,023,000 kilowatts. The system met a one-hour peak demand of 3,651,000 kilowatts. In the year, the federal system generated 62 per cent of the re gion's electric power output. It sold this for $52,066,462 and had a profit of $8,591,305 after set ting aside nearly 10 millions for Interest, 1414 millions for deprecia tion and 13 millions for operating and maintenance costs. The year's revenues returned to the federal Treasury cut the gov ernment's unpaid investment in Columbia River power to $978, 754,256. This represents a repay ment of 17.1 per cent of the invest ed capital. Sales in fiscal 1955 increased to all classes of customers. The aluminum industry, which 10 years earlier accounted for 51 per cent of the systems' revenue, bought more power in the year than ever before, spending nearly 17 millions to do it, but the demand spread out so that this was only 32.4 per cent of the gross revenue. Publicly owned utilities, buying more than 17V4 million dollars worth of power, paid in nearly 34 4-H News LACOMB Mrs. Edna Oeder, and her Merry Biscuit Makers 4-H club, entertained in honor of mothers, at the Grange hall, re cently.

The other 14 per cent was mostlv from the various non-afiminum indu tries which paid W.821,850. oin his ItWcr accompanying the report, Pejl noted that plans are progressing for use of the sjderal transmission system to deliver non-federal power to load centcg. Studies on thft cover Tacoma's Cowlitz projects, Grant Couhfy PUD's Priest Rapids project, Port- tain -Sheep and Pleasant Valley damsT n . He noted, too, that a survey on which to (ise revisions of rate schedules had been made and that saving plus sales of dump power had made it possible to continue the wholesale rate of $17.50 per kilowatt yAr definitely through the next two years. The survey said this rate could be continued for at least seven more years. osYqu and Your Income Tax (Editur's note: Many federal income tax payers wiil be con- cerned with regulations dealing with medical deductions. Tho , Oregon Association of Public Ac countants' tax information com mittee has prepared the follow ing discussion. It fs presented by the Capital Jlurnal which which joins the tax experts in urging readers not to delay fil ing their returns, both federal and state.) The current internal revenue code provides for a medical de duction but specifies certain limi tations. . The deduction allowed for medi cal and dental expenses is only for certain expenses paid during the taxable year and not compen sated for by insurance or other wise during 'the taxable year. The amount allowed is the excess of such expenses over 3 per cent of the adjusted gross income. This limitation does not apply to ex penses incurred by a taxpayer or his spouse if either has reached the age of 65. Their medical ex penses are allowed in full, except for maximum limitations. How ever, medical expenses paid for dependents are subject to the 3 per cent limitation. The deduction in any event is limited to $2500 times the number of exemptions, with a maximum of $10,000 on a joint return of hus band and wife, or a return of a head of a family, or the return of a surviving spouse: and $5,000 on any other return. For exemp tions allowed to a taxpayer if he or his spouse has attained the. age of 65 or is blind. Limitation on medicine and drugs is spelled out. Amounts paid dur ing the taxable year may be taken into account only to the extent that their aggregate for the year exceeds 1 per cent of the adjusted gross income. Items covered include all amounts paid during Uie year for medical and dental care, vchether curative or only preventative or diagnostic. You may include transportation costs essential for medical care, Ordinary living costs paid dur ing such a trip are not deductible medical expenses, however. In clude amounts paid during the year for accident or health insur ance, but only those paid for a type of insurance that reimburses the insured for medical expenses thus reducing the allowable de duction. A word of caution to those who wish to use this deduction: Be sure the expenditure falls within the definition of a jnedical deduction. Have receipts to sub stantiate the amounts claimed when you prepare your return, whether you do it independently or with the assistance of a quali fied tax adviser.

Absence Makes Boy's Heart Wander, Dorothy Reminds By DOROTHY DIX DEAR MISS DIX: For three years mv stoadv and T hsvn nlannort cm marriage, but every time something comes up to change our plans. He lives in a distant city and it's impossible for us to see each other very often. We have always kept in contact by mail, but lately his letters don't come as frequently as they did. What can i uo 10 nom nis interest? i love mm very much. Edith L. AnswLB: oiris can live on dreams and letters. but a boy needs something more tangible. Remote- control courtsnip seldom is long-lasting. While doing your utmost to win the bov through correspondence, it would be wise also to follow through on local friendships. The possibil ity of a letdown from yuur absent sweetheart is very great; it would be well lor you to cushion the blow by encouraging other young men. DEAR MISS DIX: I have been married seven years; we are both 28. My husband was a musician when we first married. He played night clubs. drank a lot and was very attentive to the women he met. We sepa rated a number of times and I always cried and begged to come back. , After our last separation, which was the longest three months he came back to me. After three years of playing music for a living, he went to work. He quit drinking, but his temper is still violent. In the last year or so my love for him has gone. Yet, I can't bring myself to leave. Maybe he's just a habit. Or perhaps I'm afraid. He's threatened to kill me if I leave him again, I must admit that except for his temper, which doesn't flare up too often, he's a good husband. -aria ANSWER: Members of the musician's union will certainly re sent yc-ur allegation that playing music for a living isn't work! Your marriage runs to extremes between your weeping and hubby's violence. I think you like it that way. Threats to kill are seldom worth more than the breath to speak them so that excuse for stavino with him can be ruled out. Habit? That's about it. and doing your best to work out the difference of personalities coupled with the fact that usually he's a good husband. Staying would be best. BE DISCREET DEAR MISS DIX: What can a mother-in-law do in this case? My son is a good husband but his wife runs around with other men and is the talk of the neighborhood. He knows something of her activities, but claims he wants to catch her red-handed; this will be difficult to do as she is very cagey. airs, u. n. answer- r.aopv or not. she'll cive herself awav one dav.

DEAR MISS DIX: Although I am 20 years old and have a ver-y good job, my father will not let me go anywhere except to worn ana iho mnvips one nieht a week. I pav for mv room and board but a Friday night movie date with a girl is the extent of my social lift-. Is this fair? 1 lccl 1 m old cnougn to Know ngni irom wrong. M. W ANSWER: I guess your room and board money looks so good to Dad that he's insuring it for the rest of your life. No dates, no boys and daughter will remain at home, working and paying. - Your father is unreasonable, unrealistic and selfish. Of course a girl of 20 knows right from wrong. If he doetn't-trust you now, at what age will he begin to show confidence? Has your nfothcr no influence in the hnnsehnld? I euess not: nrobablv her life is as restricted as yours.

The only one hurt in the early morning gun battle was Deputy Sheriff Con Linehan, 45, who suf fered a minor shotgun wound in the arm. The gun fight began after Greg ory Johnson, 40, operator of a supermarket, got a call from a friend before 4 a.m. telling him there were men in his store. Johnson went to the scene with a rifle and saw three men coming from n grocery near his. He waited while his wife summoned help. Meanwhile, the men raided a hardware store. Linehan arrived as two of the strangers walked toward their auto. The gunmen opened (ire, and Johnson riddled the auto as it departed. The auto stopped near the hardware for the third man and then rolled out of town. - The car returned while Johnson and Linehan were at home getting more ammunition. Undershcriff Emil Stusek surprised the men in a used car lot. They fled on foot. Then the posse was organized. Johnson said about $30 was taken from his store and "a few dollars" from the grocery.
