SUNDAY, JANUARY 29, 1956 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGE FIVE BY Thae Charlie Schuss, proprietor of the Klamath Billiards and the Chuck Wagon, and that famous eleventh century poet-astronomer, Omar Khayyam, had one thing In com mon. They both were intensely In terested in wine. Omar used the juice of the grape to inspire immortal verse. Schuss took a mercenary attitude toward the ancient beverage. From his point of view, wine was made to sell, not to drink. In 1939 he operated wine stores in Klam ath Falls, Medford, Bend, Salem and Coos Bay under the banner of the Schuss Vintage Company. OPENS TAVERN , . However. Schuss didn't stay in the wine business long. He decided to center his activities'!

"Base of Choice provisions for its new Prior Service Program. "Portland AFB, Hamilton AFB, and as soon as it is activated, the new Air Base at Klamath Falls are typical of the Air Force bases In this area for which prior service . men from Klamath Falls may be : eligible to enlist." said Sgt. Don Adams, local U.S. Air Force recruiter-salesman. "More than 40 different Air Force bases and or- gtmltstions are located in the Far West states alone, for which qual i ified prior servicemen may enlist." Assignment to a particular Air ; Force base organization is open to . "vets" with the proper service skills and who have returned from overseas military duty within the J past 12 months, Sergeant Adams explained. "However," he added, "a wide 'Friendly Atmosphere' Said Needed To Attract Industry DUNSMUIR "A friendly atmos ' phere is a community's most im " portant quality In attracting Indus I try and growth." Arthur St. Clair, industrial development expert for the California Department of Em . ployment, told the Dunsmuir ; Chamber of Commerce on Wednes day evening. "And everyone has to work at II," he added. St. Clair pointed out that being on one of the state's busiest high ways was an asset not to be over - looked. Some traveler, properly : impressed, is apt io be just the man to bring the Industry the town is seeking. He told the chamber of commerce members that dis ' tance from a large city presents a difficulty in attracting industry but this can be overcome by having a statistical survey on tile with , banks and railroad companies re ceiving inquiries on prospective in dustrial sites. These statistics should include all of southern Siskiyou County. St. : Clair said, as any development in the area would bring gain to Duns muir. In planning for action, St. Clair said, all organizations should be included as boosters for the town. He suggested a paint-up. dress-up campaign to give the community i a thriving look and told how coop eration among the merchants by using a central "theme" could : help a town's appearance. ' Preparation of an industrial sur- ' vey listing such factors as wea- ; ther. population, housing, transpor tation, raw materials and available power is a must, St. Clair stated.

In 1926 he entered the school of business administration at the University of Washington. He spent-three years in that insti tution and then transferred to the University of Southern California, from wbtch he was graduated in 1930.

At that time, business experts were a drug on the market, so he took a job as a clerk in an Atlantic It Pacific chain grocery store on Long Island. When he servered his connection with A&P, Schuss was manager of one of the firm's stores at Forest Hills, Long Island. "I decided they might need some business experts in the Far West." he explained. "So I headed back to the Pacific Coast." In 1934, Schuss obtained a strong incentive to settle down by marry' ing Myrtle Colllster of Klamath Falls. Most of his time has since been spent in the Klamath Basin except during World War n when he was in the U.S. Air Force. He didn't leave the United States, but was stationed at air bases in Klam ath Falls, Lincoln. Nebraska, Salt Lake City and Ephrata, Washing ton. REAL CHARACTERS Since .taking over the Klamath Billiards, Schuss said he has been doing post-graduate work in the study of human nature. The Bil lards is a sort of a mccca for working men from all over the country. We get some real characters at our place," he declared. "Getting too well acquainted with some of them has been very costly." Schuss recalled how a short lime after he acquired the Klam ath' Billards, he hired a down-and-out self-styled janitor to clean out the place at night. "He worked one shift," Schuss added, "and took off with J3.000 cached In a storeroom." Mr. and Mrs. Schuss, who reside at 230 Washington Street, have one daughter. Donna Lee Schuss. She is a student at Fremont School. Schuss is a past president of Oregon Licensed Beverage Asso ciation. (Listen to Charlie Schuss Sunday 10:15 p.m., radio station KFLW.)

Broader Limits Announced In Filing For Dependents (Editor's Note: What dependents are you entitled to claim in liliuj your federal income tax returns Based on questions most frequent ly asked by taxpayers In (his slate, the tax information committee of the Oregon Association of Public Assountants has prcpnred this dis cussion of vital dependency consid eiatlons. The Herald and News pre sents it as another reader service.) Under the 1954 tax code, broad er limits have been established whereby a person may be claimed as a dependent for tax purposes. To claim an Individual as a de pendent on your federal return, there are five general tests which should be considered: 1. Relationship In seneral, the dependent claimed must be closely related to you. This relatlonshio may include: Your child, or chil dren's descendants (legally rdopted child is considered a child by blood); stepchild ibut not his descendants): your brother, sister, half-brother, half-sister, stepbroth er or stepsister; your parent,' grandparent or other direct ances tor (but not foster parent); your steptauier or stepmother; your orotner s or sister s son or daugh ter (i.e., direct neohew or niece): your father's or mother's brother or sister (direct uncle or aunt); or your son-in-law. daughter-in-law, father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law. Further, an exemption for a de pendent who is not related to you in any manner may be obtained if the person claimed is a member or your household and lives in your nome tor the entire taxable year It is also possible to claim a cousin who, during the year, received in stitutional care for a physical or mental deficiency but who was a member of your household prior to such institutional care. 2. Support The individual claimed as a dependent generally must receive more than one-half his support from you. There are two exceptions; A) When two or more persons join in the support of another Individual and all other tests are met, except for the sup port provision, they may agree by means of a .multiple support ac cord to allow one who contributes more than one-half of the depen Mabel Elizabeth r rrn Mabel Biehn Recalls Many Of City's 'Growing Pains' Motorists and pedestrians who travel up and down Blehn Street in the western section of Klamath Falls may never ponder on "whence came the name" that is so closely linked with the swad dling clothes days of the city. The street honors Louie Biehn who came to Linkville with the Oregon State Militia in the wake of the Indian war, and his wife Alice, who raised a family of 11 sons and daughters.

VISION SPECIALIST . . . with officci at 715 Moin Street dent's support to claim the exemp tion. All who contribute more than 10 per cent must agree In written form that they will not claim the same dependency exemption. (B) Now in the case of a son, daughter or stepchild who is a student and received a scholarship, the ameunt of the grant need not be consid ered in delerming whether you have furnished more than one-half the support. 3. Dependent's gross Income This figure must be less than $600 for the calendar year in which your taxable year begins before you are entitled to claim the individual as a dependent. However, your child may receive gross Income of S600 or more and still be claimed as a dependent, provided (A) he is less than 19 years of age or B) a student who is regularly eiv rolled full time in a school for at least five calendar months of your tax year. A recognized, super vised, full -time on-farm training course can qualify, but not night school training while working days, nor correspondence courses, nor other on-Job training "courses. ' 4. Citizenship and residence The dependent must qualify under specific provisions of law concern' Ing citizenship and residence. He must be a citizen or resident of this country, or a resident of Can ada. Mexico, the Canal Zone, or the Republic of Panama. A person living outside any of these boun daries must be a citizen of the U.S. to qualify as a dependent. 5. Joint returns Tile dependent must not file a joint return with his or her spouj-e. Each qualification must be fully met as apolied to each individual claimed, except as specifically pro vided in the foregoing tests. Often unusual or borderline cases may arise, the public accountants who prepared this series have found in such cases professional assistance will prove wise.

No sir. It has a smooth oovering of crushed rock... thanks to a fine display of community spirit. When I got home Monday night after work, Hike Beldraine was there to meet me. "Can you be at a meeting at my shop tonight?" -he asked. I was there, along with 21 other residents on the street, plus county commissioner Ed Gowen. Aocording to Gowen, most of the streets in the south suburbs ere private streets.. .and the oounty has no oontrol over them. If anything is to be done to get rid' of the bumps, the property owners must do it themselves. And so it was. With some suggestions from Jim Fisher and price quotations from gravel-man Al Sohrleber, the property owners voted to have the street graveled. By Wednesday evening the Job was finished. Now you can drive down the street with out breaking your baok and without putting your car in the gar age three days for repairs.
