Stock Car McHenry's Sid Norton ran into more problems Saturday night in his effort to retain his title as late model sportsman champion on the IRA (In­ terstate Racing Assn.,) circuit. In the early going during the special 25-lap mid-season feature race on the third-mile speedway at nearby Wilmot, Wis., Norton got caught in the middle of a multi-car pileup in the second turn and was almost Wouocfc La*I FLOTILLA T-T U(C& Aw*.

A week earlier, the steering went out on his car as it roared down the front straightaway and Norton barely got it stopped in time to avoid a heavy steel retaining rail. Meanwhile, his brother Duke,, of Wonder Lake, charged from the back of the pack to take over the lead of the rate only to spin in the third turn and wind up finishing third. Duke also placed second in the final and fastest heat race of the evening for late model sportsman cars. Despite their problems, the Norton brothers, did dominate the special "Cake Night" feature, in which fans are in­ vited to bake cakes for their favorite drivers. A total of four cakes were presented to the Norton racing team, which includes drivers Sid and Duke and a third brother, Denny, who is the team mechanic.

Chances are, this will not happen if the waves have no whitecaps. Instead, your stem will simply rise up and let the wave slide under it, then settle down as the back slope of the wave passes. If you go faster than the waves, though, you're asking for trouble. Your boat will ride up the back of the wave until it reaches the crest...then race down the front of the wave with all the power and speed of both the boat's momentum and the wave's force. The bow will plunge straight and deep into a solid mass of water until it goes under. With the speed and boat's weight behind, the bow struggles to get back up. If it doesn't, you will flounder.

Congratulations Babies Do See, Hear Research scientists today are learning many things about infants which prove that newborns are much more developed in their abilities to sense the world about them than was commonly believed. How babies perceive the world is no longer the mystery to us that it used to be, as we come to understand more ac­ curately what makes them tick and how much they have going for them. At the Na­ tional Institute of Mental Health and elsewhere, re­ searchers recently have re­ appraised infant capabilities that were discounted, or at least unmeasured, 15-20 years ago. For example, at one time it was held that the newly born could not focus their eyes and therefore could not really "see" anything. This was a disappointment to mil­ lions of mothers who had been sure their children had been looking straight at them-- from their first day of life-- in loving recognition. We have since learned that the mothers were largely right: even new- * born infants have about 20/ * 150 vision, which is surpris­ ingly good. Scientists also had conjec­ tured that the newborn could not hear well. Now we know to all Skippers and Crews. The Butterfly Fleet is completing its first series soon. The standings will be in our next news release. The weekend of July 19 and 20 six Ml6's will he going to the district championship at Lake Wawasee in Indiana. The same weekend three of our C-Scows will be traveling to Lake Springfield in Springfield, for the C regionals. The C fleet will be in force the first weekend in August at the MIR, meeting this year at Browns Lake, Wis. Good luck and fair weather to all participants.

Only re­ cently, research has shown that they are able to distin­ guish milk, sugar, water, some fruit juices, and other foods. They are sensitive to odors, too. The infant's sensory system is ready to function almost from birth. However, the newborn's motor system lacks development. Therefore, babies cannot react to all they see or hear. Many questions remain to be answered, but we also now have solid knowledge that the infant is interested in people soon after birth. Inanimate objects appeal much less. During the first few months of life, attention span in­ creases steadily, and by about 5-months old, distinctive facial features such as the mother's eyes are noticed more and O/e. This latter ability suggests the importance of eye contact between mothers and infants, according to scientists at NIMH, a part of HEW's Al­ cohol, Drug Abuse, and Men­ tal Health Administration. There are indications that di­ rect contact with the mother's eyes influences whether or not the infant is outgoing in later relationships with other peo­ ple. Sensory stimulation and human contact in early in­ fancy form the cornerstone for a child's later develop­ ment. Babies and young chil­ dren have to learn as they grow up how to deal with the world, how to cope with the problems every person faces. The more we can learn about the perception of infants, the better job we can do in giving them the sound start in life they need. Research on hu-' man behavior also i|, impor­ tant to the understanding of mental health and mental ill­ ness, the NIMH scientists believe. f |SNT WONPERRJL/ y£ah. ojlv 50 YEARS £EHlNP THE COMIC BOOK'S Why Your Return May Be Selected for Audit You have just received word from the Internal Revenue Service that youi* income tax return for last yCar has been selected for audit . You immediately ask your­ self , "What have I done to deserve this?" Your mind searches for ob­ vious clues. Was i t the addit ional ex­ emption you claimed? . You easi ly rule that out . After al l , taking an exemption for the new baby could not possibly have tr iggered an audit . Maybe i t was the $500 do­ nation you claimed you made to the church. But you can prove that . And, you had two outside appraisals made of the furniture you donated to chari ty. Your total interest pay­ ments nearly tr ipled during" last year. But the purchase of the new house covers you on that i tem. Maybe i t was the substan­ t ial loss you claimed on the sale of some stock; Doesn' t the IRS know that last year .was disastrous for the stock market? You4Vave exhausted al l rea­ sonable explanations. The only other al ternative is that the IRS computer picked your re­ turn by mistake. Before you have even finished reading the audit let ter , you panics and call the IRS. You are told that the IRS computer did have something to do with your tax return be­ ing selected for audit . You discover that the IRS now uses a computer system called the Discriminant Func­ tion, or DIF, to detect returns with the greatest error po­ tential . After years of research, the IRS now is able to determine the significance- of each re­ turn characterist ic as i t re­ lates to the frequency of tax error. The DIF process involves assigning numeric weights to tax return characterist ics which have been identif ied as indicators of tax error. The returns with the highest sum of these weights---or the highest score--are then picked by the computer. For example, just because a person with your income claimed the amount of inter­ est you did, does not neces­ sari ly mean the interest was solely responsible for the audit notice. I t doesn' t matter if the PAGE 7 - PLAINDEALER i tems reported are higher or low££ than average amounts. )¥nat really counts is how all the i tems go together in creat­ ing the overall picture of po­ tential error. So that 's i t . I t was al l the Computer 's fault . . However, that explanation becomes less reassuring when you learn that the f inal de­ cision to audit your ieturn was not made by a machine. Human IRS examiners, cal led screeners, also review your return and came to the same conclusion as the computer, . Of course, you're not alone. All high income returns are automatically screened; some returns are selected for audit at random, while others are selected because the taxpayer fai led to supply sufficient in­ formation with his or her re­ turn about some i tems of income or deduction. After explaining selection procedures, , the IRS represen­ tat ive suggests that y a U -re read the let ter scheduling your audit appointment. You realize that your instant panic had caused you to mentally block out al l but the first sen­ tence. ° The let ter assures you that the sole purpose for audit ing YOU KNOW? )NE81 •WEDNESDAY, JULY U. 1971 your return is to verify the correct tax and that selection of your return does not im­ ply dishonesty or suspicion of criminal activity on your part. The letter also lists the items that the IRS wants you to verify: a casualty loss, em­ ployee business expenses and the interest claimed on your S* amount that it was not unfair or unusual lhat they were questioned.
