There was no tax on the $3000 income in 1939. The dollar in December 1951 was worth only 52.9 cents compared to the 1939 dollar. The family would need $5670 left after taxes in 1952 to buy the equivalent of $3000 worth in 1939. To have $5670 left after 1952 federal income taxes the family would have to have an income of approximately $6500.00. 3. $236 income tax on 1962 income of $50 per week. 4. $1873.00. 5. Actually, each of these answers is too low. Proposed Federal expenditures would amount to more* than $2700 per second, over $234,000,000 per day. 6. 100 hidden taxes have been traced in the cost of an egg. OH Remedy i Back In 350 B.

Match book distribution is at the rate of 12.5 billion books a year, averaging 20 lights each, for a total of 250 billion paper matches. The custom of free book matches with tobacco purchases was started in New York City 50 years ago and swiftly caught on in all corners of the nation. Gi*-en away fct the rate of more than a million an hour, the match books provide nationwide or local advertising coverage for the companies whose sales message is imprinted on the cover. In addition to the billions of books given away free with tobacco purchases, other millions are distributed by restaurants, hotels. railroads, and service institutions. and by companies which send them out as a form of direct-mail advertising. As a result, the industry reported, half the 500 billion matches used in this country annually are used without cost to the user. Part of the growth in match use results from increasing sales of tobacco products, particularly of cigarettes. Consumption of cigarettes. now at the rate of 370 billions annually, has shown a gain of approximately 37% per cent over the 1045 total. Approximately three-quarters of the people .who carry matches or a lighter in/their pockets or purses use book matches, and three out of eight proved able in one nationwide test to tell the name of the advertiser on the match book they were carrying. Books of matches are placed where they may be seen in 57 per cent of living rooms, according to survey findings, and among* smokers all but a few carry matches on their person. ti Small Fry'a Taste It's probably more fun to do ever a .child's room than any other room in tne house. The color preferences and current enthusiasms et small fry are guideposts to color schemes and decorative motifs. At all ages, of course, the advantages of easily washed, smoothly painted surfaces are apparent. A gloss enamel on the woodwork makes it possible to remove sticky fingermarks innumerable times. A dado of semi gloss enamel may also be an advantage. * n Mobile Homes Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps camps and stations now provide "trailer parks" so that GIs can keep their familiea together in these "mobile homes." With both military and defense intustry leaders encouraging this method of beating housing Shortages, the trailer industry is building more than % of its 65,000 units In 30-foot models or larger, planned tor all-year, all-weather living. *Bad nigfit, eh?

Bike Fitting Is EMy It's unnecessary to have your youngster present when purchasing a bicycle for him, or her. Follow this simple bike-size rule: For children 3Vt to 5 years old, get a 16-inch size bicycle with "outrigger" wheels; for 5 to 7-year olds, a 20-inch bike is correct; 8 to 10- year olds should get 24-inch bikes; for 11-year olds and up, a fullsized 26-inch bicycle will fill the bill. ~ • Ten to One Ten volunteer donors are needed to keep alive the average soldier who requires transfusion of whole blood, according to Army medical studies of the wounded In Korea during the last year.

Small Effect Despite fears of dairymen that Congressional repeal of taxes and other restrictions on margarine would reduce the market for butter, housewives have increased their purchase of butter since the act became effective on July 1, 1950. In 40 states which have similarly removed margarine restrictions, the quantity of butter sold has. also shown no adverse effect despite booming margarine ialea. fcetardod GMMieta A certain eastern state with some 750.000 pupils enrolled in the pub* lie schools spends an estimated $0,700,000 a year in toacMhg retarded children.
