Paul Strick land a domestic triangle to attempt to adjust in City Court this morn ing. She charged her husband with assaulting her and with non-sup port of the couple’s three children, and he in turn charged Grady Fann, whom he accused of being Mrs. Pope’s boy friend, of assault and careless and reckless driving. Mrs. Pope told the court that her husband, from whom she has been separated since last September, as saulted her in his car, by beating j her up and threatening to kill her with his pocket knife. Blushing Mr. Eden Weds Boss Niece LONDON (IB Blushing For eign Secretary Anthony Eden was married to his boss’ neice today with Prime Minister Winston Chur chill standing by as chief witness and—some say—matchmaker. The handsome 55-year-old Brit ish foreign service glamour boy and Miss Clarissa Spencer Churchill were married in a 10 minute cere mony at Caxton Hall—the scene this spring of the marriage of act ress Elizabeth Taylor and British actor Michael Wilding. Eden has understudied Churchill so long that referring matters to his boss comes natural. In the cor ridor of the musty public affices building Eden and his bride were having a discussion. Finally the foreign secretary said: “Wait a minute dear. We’d bet ter ask Winston about this.” They turned to the 77-year-old statesman, who with his wife, was following them to the registrar’s office. “Winston,” Eden asked, “on which side is the bride supposed to be?” BRIDE ON LETT SIDE “You have her on your left side,” Churchill immediately replied, “so you can keep your swdrd arm free, old boy.” Eden promptly transferred his bride from his right to his left arm.

She asked that he be compelled to pay thirty dollars.

Free movie*, free health tests The Record Gets Results No. 178 Sales In Dunn 29 Per Cent Above Average (Special To The Record) NEW YORK, Aug. 12 What is the average income of Dunn families? How much is available to them for spending, after taxes? How do they spend it? Answers to these questions, much sought after for commercial rea sons, are contained in the new copyrighted survey of buying power, covering the entire Uniter States, prepared by Sales Management. The figures show that higher incomes and a better standard of living prevail locally. Dunn fami lies recorded net earning in 1951, after deduettion for all taxes of $6,814,000. This was a gain over the $6,112,000 net income of the previous year. $3,786 AVERAGE FAMILY Divided by the 1,800 families in the city, it represented earnings of $3,786 per family. This compares favorably with the previous year, when earnings per family, locally, were $3,396. The figures, it is pointed out, are arithmetical averages, obtained by dividing total income by total num ber of families. , s The better earnings locally led td bigger' speeding. QU ■*‘*<s registered a sales volume in th% year of $15,397,000, which was well over the amount expected for a city of the size. On the basis of population, the retail business lo cally should have been only .0042 percent of the national. Actually, however, local merthantg accounted for .0102 percent. BIG INCREASE This sales total represented * considerable gain over 1950, when the retail business amounted to $13,971,000. The fact that total sales are greater than income indicates that a great deal of purchasing is done in Dunn stores by residents of sur rounding communities. A measure of the purchasing ah- , ility of each city and county, as compared with the nation, is given ; in the survey by a “quality of , market” index. This takes into con- : sideration income, sales, popula tion and other factors. For Dunn the index rating is placed at 129, or 29 percent over the national average. U. S. HAS GROWN - The survey shows that the Un ited States has grown to a nation i of 44.7 million families having an effective buying power, after taxes, : of over 220 billion dollars. More ■ than two-thirds of this spending money finds its way into retail V stores. The resultant retail busings ) is above 151 billions. Byrnes Aids Ike; - Cherry For Adlai COLUMBIA, S. C„ lff) Gov.
