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

tigned by William D. Laxague and

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

have been her true married love,

were locked out for non-payment

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

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.

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.
