mm liil *> lliS§t®ltt jk^a sl^lilSSs * A picture aibara can be just as interesting as jon want to make it. There's „no need to mount your snapshots in rows and have them all the tame size. Variety is the spice that makes the album interesting to do, fun to look at. Original Snapshot Albums--Fun to Make 54 Pictures, album, paste pot and a Httle imagination--these are the only ingredients necessary for creating a photo album that's fun to make and a delight to own. As for^ what kind of album to use, that's purely a matter of personal choice. You can start from •scratch and make simple sturdy covers ouj of cardboard, wood, leather, or heavy acetate sheets. The pages between the covers can be ihade of art paper cut to size, or you can buy ready-made album leaves of suitable dimensions. Of course, if Jrou don't feel ambitious enough to tackle a complete "do-it-yourself" job, there's a wide variety of. albums and scrapbooks already pn the market to choose from. One that we like has transparent envelopes for pages. It's rather similar to1 a wedding album -- very professionallooking and designed to .give maximum protection to your prints. Or you might want severaL of the smaller albums--the kind that have pages entitled "My. Children" and "My Grandchildren"-- which axe just right for carrying in poeket or purse. In mounting your snapshots, don't limit yourself to a rowupon- row arrangement. Experii njent with various .layouts--arid don't be afraid of borrowing a bit I.of technique from your favorite ' picture magazines. ! Some of your more interesting fshots can be given added impor- 1 tance through enlargement. The | resulting contrast in size lends j extra eye-appeal to the page. And j for "special effects," you may even I want to try cutting some of your j pictures into various shapes or combining two or three prints to J simulate a panoramic scene. , By the way, we discovered only j the other day" that art corners now come in eleven different colors-- gold and. silver, pink and blue, ivory, sepia, red, green, blue, I gray and white--as well as the ! more usual black. So you can add 1 a little dash of color to your mounts, too, if it strikes your fancy. Another hint we'd like to pass along concerns vacation albums. Why not include all those maps and travel pamphlets you've saved from .your trips? You might use the left-hand pages for these items and mount your pictures opposite on the right-hand side. Time's a-wasting--so start'pasting. --John Van Guilder 552 Babies Introduced To World At Memorial Hospital Last Year One of the busiest departments in any hospital is the obstetrical department. Last "year at Memorial Hospital for McHenry County, there were 552 babies introduced into the world. The mothers of these wonderful additions to many families throughout the county were carefully cared for before, during and after the delivery of their babies.! This department, which in-1 eludes the labor room, delivery room, and nursery is under the direction of a calm and attractive supervisor, Miss Donna Volstroff. "We have a qualified nursery nurse on duty twenty-four hours a day. We average forty babies a month and the mother has an average stay of four to five days," said Miss Volstorff. "During a twenty-four-hour period, we have nine registered nurses and eleven aides employed in the department. We think it is one of the most important units in the hospital, and judging from the wonderful' letters we receive from new mothers, they agree with ,us. "The newborn baby is placed in the resuscinette, where heat and oxygen are supplied while in the delivery room. Beads of the baiby's last name are placed on its wrist before it leaves the delivery room. Silver nitrate is placed in each eye in accordance with state law. "The baby receives its first bath upon its entrance into the nursery, where it weighed, measured and kept under constant observance for twenty-four hours," continued Miss Volstorff. Prematurely born babies are often sent to St. Francis hospital in Peoria, where special, trained personnel adn necessary equipment are available to handle the premature babies.
