Architect Moves To New Site
When Howard R. Perrin drew
plans and specifications for a den
tal clinic to be built at 1415 Espla
nade back in 1940, he didn't an
ticipate buying the building and
moving his own architect s of
fices into it 20 years later.
. Not only did that happen, but
Duncan Construction Company,
which built the all brick building
in 1040, did the remodeling neces
iary for the conversion.
Several partitions were moved
to provide free traffic flow and
open offices for Perrin and the
firm's secretary, Mrs. Linda Smith
conveniently located to storage
files.
It was interesting to note that
none of the original linoleum need
ed replacing after partitions were
removed. Checked on that subject,
Ruth Herman, office manager for
Calhoun's Floor Covering, easily
located the ledger sheet showing
that 88 square yards of eighth
inch Armstrong battleship linoleum
ia a marbelized pattern (now dis
continued) was used for floor cov
ering. In addition. 441 feet of coved
border was installed, all of which
has worn for 20 years.
The walls all have been paint
ed the same color, a sort of warm
beige shade which was mixed to
specifications. The daylight slim
line egg-crate light fixtures which
have 45 degrees shielding were
moved from the old office location
at 1121 Main Street.
The floral draperies with a pre
dominate green tone which Dr.
A. G. Goehring had custom tail
ored for his reception room have
lx.cn retained. A modernistic lamp
with individual spots is placed so
that drawings can be lighted in
the front display window.
A studio with space for four
long drafting tables and the Ozalid
wnite line printing machine is at
the rear with a northeast exposure
Sets of completed drawings are
enclosed in long tubes, starting
with job No. 1 and continuing to
job No. 1161 which is being com
pleted. A fireproof sale in the stu
din holds current plans and sped
fications and classified military
assignments.
Paved parking for six or seven
cars is available at the rear,
Conference and customer rooms
are set up for consultation pur
poses away from open work areas
Drawings and architect's render
ings are uniformly displayed along
the corridor walls and in the con
ference rooms. These are mount
ed on 30 by 40-inch illustration
board and framed against the
walls by means of regular stain
less steel drainboard edging. Two
parallel strips of the edging are
fastened to the walls at intervals.
30 inches apart, so the "pictures"
can be inserted in the grooves
and changed at will.
IRS Interested
In Interest
WASHINGTON (UPD This year
the Internal Revenue Service will
be checking income tax returns
with unusual care for reporting of
income from dividends and interest.
An estimated five billion dollars
worth or more goes unreported
each year and Uncle Sam loses
upwards of $500 million in taxes.
Like wages and salaries, inter
est income is generally taxable.
Tax-exempt bonds are an excep
tion. So is the first $50 of stock
dividends per taxpayer, although
it must be reported. Interest cred
ited to a savings account is as
taxable as if you took it in cash.
Some other items not subject
to income tax are dividends on a
veterans' life insurance, social se
curity benefits, state bonus to vet
erans, life insurance proceeds upon
death, workmen's compensation
for sickness, .repayment of loans
and monthly government allow
ances to families of servicemen.'. .

hazard, and providing for refor
esting the burned-over area.

WASHINGTON (UPI) Many
people pay more income tax than
they have to because they:
File separate returns for hus
band and wife when a joint re
turn would reduce their tax bill.
Claim the standard 10 per cent
deduction when an itemized list of
deductible expenses would exceed
10 per cent of adjusted gross in
come. Fail to claim all allowable de
ductions when drawing up an item
ized list.
Don't deduct sick pay when
they miss work because of sick
ncss or injury.
Fail to claim all eligible de
pendents.

FACT
Would you be surprised to
see a bird looking like a thrush
or wren walk out of the tum
bling water of a swiftly flow
ing mountain stream? The bird
would be the water ouzel, a
member of the wren family
that likes to walk submerged
along the bottom of a stream
picking up water insects from
the rocks.

chaser. Runnerup for the Dry Creek
