expected food merchandizing

vastly changed in a short time.
Operators of grocery stores and
cafes will have to take an
entirely new view of selling
methods.
Thus far, only a few great
national chains have recognized
the enormity of the trend away
from home cooking. Even they
have not advertised effectively.
It has not been necessary
because the great demand has
kept business booming with
minimum promotion.
In most cases the advertising

the cafes have changed to meet

grocery stores still depend
largely on straight price
advertising. Most locally owned
restaurants are simply passing
up the new demand by doing
no advertising at all.
However, the competitive
situation will eventually force a
drastic change in advertising
methods. More and more
people who wish to eat out will
select their choice of i
restaurant as they select
clothing and groceries - from a
leisurely study of newspaper
advertising.
In the meantime, grocery
stores will find it necessary to
resell families on the pleasures,
convenience and savings of
eating at home.
TRACK JUMPER - An Aberdeen anilRockfish railroad car attracted amaJenble attention Tuesday when it mih-J the track at
the Elwood A venue crossing (apparently for no reason at all). Sidewalk overseers contributed a hit of peering and pondering over
the situation but believe it or not, the heavy iron wheels were guided by three railroad workers from their position between switch
tracks onto the rail with wooden boards and scantling.

checks and bills for the tuition,
books and other expenses of
the night course can establish
the amounts you spent.

The Law
W hat is punishment in North
Carolina for one convicted of a
theft?

entering of a dwelling or other
building. Such crimes may be

If a person breaks into and
enters the dwelling of another

intent of committing a felony
therein, the crime is burglary.
If I lie habitation is actually
occupied at the lime of the
commission of the crime, it is
burglary in the first degree and
the jury fixes I lie punishment

Q-l just started driving a cab.
Is it true I have to pay tax on
my lips every month?
A-Whcn tips amount to $20
or more a mouth, they are
subject to withholding tax like
other income from salaries and
wages. Report them to your
employer and he will make the
necessary adjustment in your
paycheck.
Q-My neighbor told mc she
was able to deduct the plane
fare for herself and her
daughter when she took her
child to a special clinic for
medical treatment. Is that sort
of deduction really allowable?
A ll the trip was taken to
obtain medical care and not for
personal reasons, then
transportation costs will be
deductible as a medical
expense. This provision allows
taxpayers to deduct the actual
cost of the transportation or 5
cents a mile if a personal car is
used.
For example, if it was
necessary to make a weekly
trip to the doctor's office or
clinic for out-patient treatment
and the roundtrip covered ten
miles by car, here's how the
deduction would he figured.
The taxpayer would multiply
the ten mile trip by the 5 cent
a mile alluwance to arrive at a
weekly deduction of 50 cents. .
If the trip was made 52 times
during the year then the
taxpayer could add $26 to his
other medical expenses. Any
parking fees paid as a result of
the trip can be added to this
total.
The parent's fare can be
deducted when a child is
unable to travel alone.
