Pair Enter Plea Of Guilty A couple accused of forging one of 18 payroll checks stolen from the Iron Mountain Lumber Com pany in Diamond Lake pleaded fiuilly in circuit court Thursday. The plea was entered by Alfred Edward Boycr, 27, and Mary Ann Boyer, 27, both of Loomis, Cali fornia. The couple was charged with forgery by endorsement in volving a S(7 check. Officers said several other Iron Mountain payroll checks were cashed here and in Burns, where the Boycrs were arrested Decem ber 12. The checks had been tigned by William D. Laxague and James R.

Her father was the re nowned and brilliant and cr ratic "Great Profile" of the stage. A friend once described the vie. lent home-and-public spats of these two as "a tennis game' in hell in which no one missed the ball." Diana was born in 1921. Her mother had money. "Michael Strange" was the pen name of the divorcee Blanche Oelrichs, of Newport and New York, whom Barrymore married in 1920. After Barrymore divorced her, she mar ried attorney Harrison Tweed. Diana wrote in her autohiogra r.hy that she had been a girl "who had everything name, breeding talent, opportunity alter opportu- nily and seems to have done hci best to throw it away." She remembered seeing her father comparatively few times in her life. But she followed his escapades and gradually she seemed to copy his fast way with liquor. She was lent to schools for rich girls. Un disciplined, given to tantrums, she had been expelled from 16 private schools by the time she was 16. At 17, in 1938, she was "debu tante of the year. At 19, she made her Broadway debut in "The Romantic Mr. Dickens," md got excellent personal notices. She had a number of other Broad way and stock roles. She went to Hollywood at 20. Perhaps her professional failure there and her drinking contributed finally each !o the other. There began a series of affairs with men. police blotter cases, saloon ;lugfests, street brawls, ambu lance calls and return to the (heater and to late curtains, argu ments, black eyes. After a year in Hollywood, in 142. she married Bramwcll Fletcher. She divorced him four years later and married tennis player John Howard, only to di vorce him in six months. Howard was jailed later on a morals charge. Diana married actor John Wil cox in Vim), and 1 Ins seems to have been her true married love, ilthough they fought in public, were locked out for non-payment ot rent, and were caught stealing lood from a supermarket.

MULLENS Written for NF.A Service It pays to be carelul in claim ing exemptions on your tax re turn. For one thing, if you overlook legal exemption, you are losing a ?(iOO deduction which is worth a tax saving of S120 or more, de pending on your tax bracket. On the other hand, if you claim an ex emption to which you are not en titled, you are likely to receive an inquiry from the Internal Revenue Service. Besides exemptions for your wife and children (which were discussed in the previous Primer article) there is a large list of ulher persons who can be claimed as dependents if they meet the five tests set out in the official instructions. Some of the tests arc not diffi cult. For example, you cannot claim a dependent who files a joint return wilh his or her spouse. One lest, however, has some very complicated rules. With one ex ception described below, every de pendent other than your wife must receive more than half of his or her support from you (or from your wife if you file a joint re turn). To determine whether you have furnished over half the cost ot sup port for a dependent during 1959, you must first figure out the cost of supporting the dependent. Cost of support includes board lodging, clothing, education, medi- cal care, recreation, and the like. Lodging is measured by its fair The cardiovascular diseases af fect more than lo million living Americans. OSBORN HOTEL EUGENE, ORE. Mrl. J. E. Karlry Joe Eftrler Jr. Proprietor Thoroughly Modern market value as are other goods furnished as part of the total sup port. Scholarships for your child tepchild, or adopted child do not count toward the cost of support ing that person. An appointment to a Service academy such as West Point docs not count as a scholarship. There fore, the value of the benefits from such appointments must be in cluded in the total cost of support. If the dependent lives with the taxpayer, household expenses arc allocated equally among all mem bers of the household in arriving at what it cost to support each member. Where several persons together contribute more than half the sup port of another person (who other wise qualifies as a dependent of each of them) but no one alone contributes over half, they may agree lo allow any one of Ihcm lo claim the exemption. However, the person who claims the exemption must have contribut ed over 10 per cent of the simport, and all others who contributed over 10 per cent must sign a state ment agreeing not to claim an exemption for the same dependent for that year. These statements must be attached to the return of the person claiming the exemption The Internal Revenue Service has a simple form (called "Mul tiple Support Agreement Form 2120") which can be used for tho statement. This form may be ob tained at any Internal Revenue office.

Yanks Dining Out More, Eating At Home Less NEW YORK (UPD Americans with their weli-filled purses arc dining out more and more and eating at home less and less. Figures just made available in the current issue of Food Topics show that sales of eating and drinking places rose in 1959 by 10 times the rate of increase for food stores. The publication found that while food sales in food stores failed to keep up with the 1.8 per cent increase in civilian population in 1959, food sales in dining - out es tablishments far outstripped the population increase. New Officers installed TULELAKE New officers of the "Voyagers" Mariners Club of the Tulelake Community Presbyterian Church were installed.

REDECORATED Office Space' $45 Month Inquire DREWS' Mansfore Prion TU 4-4121 ' NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS OF THE CALIFORNIA OREGON POWER COMPANY RESIDING IN SPRAGUE RIVER, BONANZA, DAIRY, NORTH POE VALLEY AND SOUTHEAST POE VALLEY Beginning at approximately 1:00 P.M., Sun day, January 31, 1960, Service will be inter rupted for an estimated one hour. This service interruption is necessary in order to enable crews of the Power Company to ac complish work required for a transmission im provement project. In a rising economy and with increasing family income," says food Topics, "expenditures for food are known to increase." Whether this increase will come lu a srpMi-r extent in foods purchased in food stores for home consumption or in foods for con sumption away from home is very much the question. "It is also open to speculation whether, in the years ahead tnose consumers moving up in income will adap't their tastes to include higher-priced quality foods, or whether their grown ircome, coupled with an increase in leisure time, will induce them to cat out more frequently. "In the latter instance, retail food stores cold very definitely lose a certain sales volume to eating and drinking establish ments." The food stores didn't do badly in 1959. They maintained an un broken record for the decade of the 50's in setting new "sales records each year. In 1959 they sold $53,660,000,000 o! food. This was a 10-ycar jump from $33,264,000,000 in 1950. Gro cery store sales made up 86.7 per cent of this total and the remainder went to specialty food retailers. Back in 1950, sales of eating and drinking places totaled $11,158,000,000. There was a rise in 1951 and 1952 but a substantial decline came in 1953. Then came series of gains each year to Cleaners Hit By Burglar A burglar entered the Fashion Cleaners establishment, 129 South Seventh Street, sometime Wednes day night or Thursday morning, city police said. The back door was found kicked in, but police are not sure wheth er anything was taken. The breakin was discovered ear ly Thursday morning by Don Mc Mary, an employe. An inventory of clothes was scheduled. 1959 when the sales amounted to $15,546,000,000, against $14,792, 000,000 in 1958. Sales of the eating and drinking places were up 39.3 per cent over 1950 while all food stores showed an even greater gain 52.9 per cent for the period. Grocery stores increased their percentage of business in non food items. Their sales of food rose only half of one per cent in 1959 but their sales of other products gained more than 11 per cent. Chain store sales of groceries have shown a steady increase. Their share of the 1959 business amounted to 45.3 per cent, ac cording to Food Topics. In 1958 their share was 44.5 per cent and in 1950 it was 38.4 per cent. It was noted that Americans have stepped up their buying of so-called luxury items exotic foods which not long ago wore beyond their reach. "It is precisely such a quali tative change that is to be ex pected as incomes - rise and one that is to be desired in the face of increasing expenditures for foods purchased and consumed at eating and drinking establish ments," says Food Topics. "Retailers during the golden sixties are expected to help this qualitative change along through special promotions." The $53,660,000,000 sales of food at retail in 1959 showed a gain of 1.5 per cent over the $52,870,. 000,000 sales of 19.58. Grocery stores alone had sales of $46,540,000,000, a rise of 2.1 per cent over the $45,580,000,000 total for 1958. Chain stores increased their sales of groceries to $21,090,000,. ooo, a rise of' 4 per cent over the $20,290,000,000 on .1958. Independ ents had sales of $25,450,000,000, a rise of only 0.6 per cent over the 1958 figure of $25,290,000,000. Specialty food retailers in 1959 had sales of $7,120,000,000, a de cline of 2.3 per cent from the $7,290,000,000 of 1958.
