The taxes included are both direct and indirect, not forgetting the taxes hidden in the cost of many things we buy. In contrast to this heavy. tax burden, the S&me " Sfp.rftsonly 1 hour and 37 minutes to pay for food for his family. He works 1 hoiir and 24 minutes of each day for housing costs, 36 minutes for clothing, and 42 minutes for transportation. Here is how his eight-hour work day is divided: To earn money for taxes, needed time 2 hours 35 minutes; food, 1 hour 37 minutes; housing, 1 hour 24 minutes; clothing, 36 minutes; transportation, 42 minutes; medical and personal care, 23 minutes; reading and recreation, 20 minutes and other goods and services, 23 minutes. If you wonder where the recent federal tax reductions fit into the picture, here is the answer. Last year this man worked 2 hours and 40 minutes to pay for his taxes. On that basis we might guess that he saves about two minutes of the time spent working for taxes whenever the government knocks a billion off its tax take. TEST YOUR I. Q. 1. How much did the U.

The interrupted action situation here gives dot wily a clear view of the face but indicates what'one of her favorite pastimes i%, Interrupted Action RECENTLY rve been discussing with a number of parents the always faseinating subject of picturing children. The conversations have been chiefly about the comparative faults and virtues of the obviously posed, staring-straightahead variety and the more candid type which shows the child engaged in some activity. As the regular readers of these columns undoubtedly know by now, I'm an advocate of the "doing something" school of thought when it comes to making children's pictures. However, as several of the parents with whom I talked pointed out, many of the activity shots do not show the child's face plainly. And^ these parents felt that a good clear view of the face is a must among the requirements for shots they want to keep in their family scrapbooks. So, to them I suggested a combination of the two methods--the creation of a situation in which the child is doing something, yet is looking forward toward the camera when the shutter is opened. This would be, In effect, interrupted action. A good, .way to accomplish this is to have the child busily engaged in some very isP teresting activity and then Say something to him to cause hdm tp look up at you just before i'od snap the picture. Of course, you can still .frequently get the full face when shooting candidly by following the child's position in the view finder until you can find an interesting picture that gives a good view of the face. This is quite easy to do when you are using a high enough shutter speed to stop any, poriqa) movement or have a simple camera equipped with synchronized flash. The fast flash bulbs-endow the simple camera with suffl<§eat speed to stop a pointing finger in mid-air without a disappointing blur.

For example, when a child appears blue or i$ short of breath, or has so-called edema or dropsy, the symptoms are almost sufficient to establish definitely that a; fchftd has a' form of heart disease, calling for suitable treatment. However, when a, child has been seemingly .. well, and Appears pale or tired* -examination will sometimes reveal a murmur of the heart, the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society observes in Health Talk. ! Occasionally, a murmur is also heard in a newborn infant. Because various murmurs may or may not indicate aft abnormality, of the heart, or because they may toe completely harmless, many questions enter, the physician's mind in establishing*, an exact diagnosis. To detect the variations in heart sounds, the physician uses the instrument called a stethoscope. The pumping system of the body is generated by the heart, which is made up or four chambers. However, the blood is pumped in one direction of flow only, and this is, controlled by valves. Jn the process the blood is pimped out into the arteries leading to all parts of the body in the circulating blood which, in turn, carries oxygen to nourish the body. A?ter the blood circulates, it is returned to the heart through the veins. Thus sounds of the heart occur in the opening and closing of the values in their normal function. Any condition that develops within the heart and its structure, resulting in a narrowing of the valves, for example, produces different sounds or murmurs which are interpreted by the physician. One type of 'murmur, the socalled functional or unimportant murmur, places no extra strain on the heart, and the regular heart action is not interfered with. These functional murmurs are common in children and, in PRDFE^iorm DIRECTORY 1 SIGN DESIGN Chain-O-Lakes Region Point Of Sale Advertising Specialists in Silk iScreen Printing 4n Any Surface In Quantity Quickly and Reliauiy.

Evening* By Appointment many' instances^ disappear later in the child's Jife, leavihj|: rift sigh they ever eidsted. , Then there is t|ie congenital heart abnormality with which Infants are born. For some reason in development, the heirt fails to develop normally, causing an ihterference in circulation. Such an example is the "blue 'fciaby." There is shOrtness of breath and the blueness is caused when the blood ifc not circulating Sufficiently through the lungs. The abnormality produces greater strain On the heart. With modern surgical {advances, these heart abnormalities can be: corrected. : Why these' abnormalities occur is not known, except that the parents are not at fault. They are simply accidents in development. Another type of heart murmur occurs in rheumatic fever. Usually the murmur is pronounced and the heart rate is rapid. In this condition, the heart muscle is inflamed, dilates, becomes much larger, all of which impairs the pumping efficiency of the heart itself. In rheumatic fever, however, prevention of recurrence is the goal, since it is the repeated attack^ that lead to stenosis or narrowing of the heart valves. Thus a murmur of the heart can mean many things and often nothing. In most instances, it jis now possible to identify those which are a sign of some abnormality. Many of these can be corrected or controlled. Even if heart damage has occurred the child, with help and understanding, will lead a relatively normal life. SHOP AT HOME WEEK - END SPECIALS!
